Summary

Leading art critic and philosopher Arthur Danto here explains how the anti-beauty revolution was hatched, and how the modernist avant-garde dislodged beauty from its throne. Danto argues not only that the modernists were right to deny that beauty is vital to art, but also that beauty is essential to human life and need not always be excluded from art.

Author Biography

Arthur Danto is Emeritus Johnsonian Professor of Philosophy at Columbia University and art critic of The Nation.
