The art object is fundamental. Indeed, the different object forms of each visual medium allows our experience of space-time, and our relations to other people, to be aesthetically embodied in unique ways. Through these embodiments, visual art compensates for what is otherwise existentially lost, and becomes part of what makes life worth li ..." |

Why? What is the magic that pictures work on us? This book provides a provocative explanation, arguing that some pictures have special kinds of beauty and sublimity that offer aesthetic transcendence. They take us imaginatively beyond our finite limits and even invoke a sense of the divine. Such aesthetic transcendenc ..." |

 | | Meanings of Abstract Art(1st Edition) Between Nature and Theory (Routledge Advances in Art and Visual Studies) by Paul Crowther, Isabel Wünsche Paperback, 310 Pages, Published 2016 by Routledge ISBN-13: 978-1-138-23386-7, ISBN: 1-138-23386-2 "Traditional art is based on conventions of resemblance between the work and that which it is a representation "of." Abstract art, in contrast, either adopts alternative modes of visual representation or reconfigures mimetic convention. This book explores the relation of abstract art to nature (taking nature in the broadest sense the world of recognisable objects, creatures, organisms, processes, and states of affairs). Abstract art ta ..." |
 | | The Kantian Aesthetic(Reprint) From Knowledge to the Avant-Garde by Paul Crowther Paperback, 216 Pages, Published 2014 by Oxford University Press ISBN-13: 978-0-19-968752-7, ISBN: 0-19-968752-8 "The Kantian Aesthetic explains the kind of perceptual knowledge involved in aesthetic judgments. It does so by linking Kant's aesthetics to a critically upgraded account of his theory of knowledge. This upgraded theory emphasizes those conceptual and imaginative structures which Kant terms, respectively, "categories" and "schemata." By describing examples of aesthetic judgment, it is shown that these judgments must involve categories an ..." |
 | | The Transhistorical Image(1st Edition) Philosophizing Art and its History by Paul Crowther Paperback, 218 Pages, Published 2012 by Cambridge University Press ISBN-13: 978-1-107-41045-9, ISBN: 1-107-41045-2 "Why are visual artworks experienced as having intrinsic significance or normative depth? Why are some works of art better able to manifest this significance than others? In this 2002 book Paul Crowther argues that we can answer these questions only if we have a full analytic definition of visual art. Crowther's approach focuses on the pictorial image, broadly construed to include abstract work and recent conceptually-based idioms. The s ..." |
 | | Defining Art, Creating the Canon(Reprint) Artistic Value in an Era of Doubt by Paul Crowther Paperback, 274 Pages, Published 2012 by Oxford University Press ISBN-13: 978-0-19-969858-5, ISBN: 0-19-969858-9 "What is art; why should we value it; and what allows us to say that one work is better than another? Traditional answers have emphasized aesthetic form. But this has been challenged by institutional definitions of art and postmodern critique. The idea of distinctively artistic value based on aesthetic criteria is at best doubted, and at worst, rejected. This book, however, champions the traditional notions. It restores the mimetic defin ..." |
 | | Digital Art, Aesthetic Creation(1st Edition) The Birth of a Medium (Routledge Advances in Art and Visual Studies) by Paul Crowther Hardcover, 224 Pages, Published 2018 by Routledge ISBN-13: 978-1-138-60576-3, ISBN: 1-138-60576-X "Is art created with computers really art? This book answers ‘yes’. Computers can generate visual art with unique aesthetic effects based on innovations in computer technology and a postmodern naturalization of technology wherein technology becomes something we live in as well as use. The present study establishes these claims by looking at digital art’s historical emergence from the 1960s to the start of the present century. Paul Crowth ..." |

But this is not the end of the story. Drawings and paintings are made, and in their making embody unique meanings that transform our perception of space-time and sense of finitude. These meanings have not been addressed by art history or visual studies hitherto, and have only been considered indirectly by philosophers (mainly in the p ..." |
