Why is the role of imagination so important in art? Illustrated with carefully chosen colour and black-and-white plates of examples from Michelangelo to Matisse and Poussin to Pollock, Revealing Art takes us on a compelling and provocative journey. Kieran explores some of the most important questions we can ask ourselves about art: how can art inspire us or disgust us? Is artistic judgement simply a matter of taste? Can art be immoral or obscene, and should it be censored?AestheticsArtPhilosophyArt appreciationPhilosophyAesthetics.ArtPhilosophy.Art appreciation.Philosophy.701.1701/.17Kieran Matthew1125255AU-PeELAU-PeELAU-PeELBOOK9910792089303321Revealing art3851655UNINA
