What Art Is by Arthur C. Danto

This book explores the philosophy and definition of art, challenging traditional views and proposing a new framework for understanding what art truly is. The author argues that art is not defined by its aesthetic qualities or by the intentions of the artist, but rather by the context and the role of theories and interpretations in shaping our perception of what art is. Through a series of engaging discussions and analyses of historical and contemporary artworks, the book invites readers to reconsider their assumptions about art and its value, suggesting that art's essence lies in its ability to embody meanings and ideas that transcend its physical form.
