  • Concerning the Spiritual in Art

    by Wassily Kandinsky ...
    It is no common thing to find an artist who, even if he be willing to try, is capable of expressing his aims and ideals with any clearness and moderation.

  • A Violent Embrace

    Art and Aesthetics after Representation

    by renée c. hoogland ...
    Instead of asking questions about the symbolic meaning or underlying “truth” of a work of art, renée c. hoogland is concerned with the actual “work” that it does in the world (whether intentionally or not).
