Beyond Art

Discover a transformative perspective on the philosophy of art in Beyond Art by Dominic McIver Lopes, published by Oxford University Press in 2016. This compelling 236-page paperback challenges traditional theories of art that often fall short in addressing complex cases. Lopes argues that rather than attempting to define art, we should embrace the idea that a work of art is simply a creation within one of the various arts. His innovative "buck passing" theory is particularly effective in illuminating the radical provocations of avant-garde works. Dive into this insightful exploration that redefines our understanding of art and its boundaries. Perfect for art enthusiasts and philosophers alike, Beyond Art is a must-read for anyone looking to deepen their appreciation of contemporary artistic discourse.
