Why does a work of art resonate with us? What makes it meaningful, confusing, or even revealing? In “Denkwerk” (Thinking Work), Wendy Janssen and Onno Zijlstra discuss modern and contemporary works of art, each in conjunction with a philosophical perspective on art.
In twenty-seven concise chapters, the authors, driven by their fascination with a work of art, invite a philosopher to reflect on its meaning. Each chapter develops a dialogue between a work of art and a philosopher about seeing, meaning, and form: from Plato and Aristotle to Arendt and Haraway, and from Mondrian and Picasso to Warhol and community art. It is surprising to see how a work of art enters into a relationship with a philosophical theory and vice versa.
“Denkwerk” is an accessible and inspiring introduction to aesthetics and invites you to look and think along with the artists and philosophers. IN DUTCH!
