書籍簡介

十多年前，阿瑟·丹託(Arthur Danto)宣佈藝術在六十年代結束。自發表這一宣言以來，他一直站在對我們這個時代藝術本質進行激進批判的前沿。在《藝術的終結》中，丹託首次全面地重新闡述了他最初的見解，展示了隨着抽象表現主義的衰落，藝術已經不可逆轉地偏離了瓦薩里在文藝復興時期幫助定義的敍事過程。此外，他引領了一種新的批評方式，可以幫助我們理解後歷史時代的藝術，例如，一個藝術家可以創作一幅倫勃朗風格的作品來創造一個視覺雙關，而傳統理論無法解釋安迪沃霍爾的布里洛盒子和雜貨店裏的產品之間的區別。我們參與了一系列關於藝術的美學和哲學問題的有見地和有趣的對話，這些對話是由當今藝術領域的一個特別敏鋭的觀察者進行的。

這些作品最初是作為著名的梅隆藝術講座發表的，涵蓋了藝術史、波普藝術、“人民的藝術”、博物館的未來角色，以及克萊門特·格林伯格的重要貢獻——他在兩代人之前通過以美學為基礎的批評幫助觀眾理解現代主義。從模仿傳統(認為藝術是對現實的一種日益充分的表現)到現代宣言時代(藝術被藝術家的哲學所定義)追溯藝術史，丹託表明，直到波普藝術的發明，對藝術手段和目的的歷史理解才被廢除。即使是試圖通過質疑藝術創作方式來與過去決裂的現代主義藝術，也依賴於敍事。

丹託認為，傳統的美學觀念不再適用於當代藝術。相反，他專注於一種藝術批評的哲學，這種哲學可以處理當代藝術最令人困惑的特徵:一切皆有可能。

Over a decade ago, Arthur Danto announced that art ended in the sixties. Ever since this declaration, he has been at the forefront of a radical critique of the nature of art in our time. After the End of Art presents Danto's first full-scale reformulation of his original insight, showing how, with the eclipse of abstract expressionism, art has deviated irrevocably from the narrative course that Vasari helped define for it in the Renaissance. Moreover, he leads the way to a new type of criticism that can help us understand art in a posthistorical age where, for example, an artist can produce a work in the style of Rembrandt to create a visual pun, and where traditional theories cannot explain the difference between Andy Warhol's Brillo Box and the product found in the grocery store. Here we are engaged in a series of insightful and entertaining conversations on the most relevant aesthetic and philosophical issues of art, conducted by an especially acute observer of the art scene today.

Originally delivered as the prestigious Mellon Lectures on the Fine Arts, these writings cover art history, pop art, "people's art," the future role of museums, and the critical contributions of Clement Greenberg—who helped make sense of modernism for viewers over two generations ago through an aesthetics-based criticism. Tracing art history from a mimetic tradition (the idea that art was a progressively more adequate representation of reality) through the modern era of manifestos (when art was defined by the artist's philosophy), Danto shows that it wasn't until the invention of Pop art that the historical understanding of the means and ends of art was nullified. Even modernist art, which tried to break with the past by questioning the ways of producing art, hinged on a narrative.

Traditional notions of aesthetics can no longer apply to contemporary art, argues Danto. Instead he focuses on a philosophy of art criticism that can deal with perhaps the most perplexing feature of contemporary art: that everything is possible.
