Reviews
Philosophy of Painting fills an important void. Jason Gaiger shows why it's important to think about paintings - not only newer media such as photography or films - and what contemporary paintings offer in our own time. Beautifully and clearly written - a gem that brings theoretical issues to life. * Sonia Sedivy, Professor and Chair, Department of Philosophy, University of Toronto, Canada *
This book will appeal to both experts and non-experts. It deftly combines philosophical insight and rigour with art historical substance and detail. I can't think of a better introduction to the philosophy of painting. * Hans Maes, Senior Lecturer History and Philosophy of Art, University of Kent, UK *
