1 Art criticism: part 2 ~ slide 1
Danto on the Artworld Arthur Danto. “The Artworld.” The Journal of Philosophy (1964): In Wartenberg. Mimetic theory (IT - Imitation Theory) was commonplace until the rise of photography in the 19th century. How can we account for the vast variety of art after Post-Impressionism? Art criticism: part 2 ~ slide 1

2 Art criticism: part 2 ~ slide 2
Danto on the Artworld What is needed is a new theory which can take into account all of Post-Impressionist art, a theory which regards this art as much genuine art, that is, real -- as the art of the Imitation theory. Danto calls this proposal for a successor theory RT (for Reality Theory?) Art criticism: part 2 ~ slide 2

3 Art criticism: part 2 ~ slide 3
Danto on the Artworld Contemporary art which raises questions about whether this works are really art? The art of Roy Lichtenstein (U.S., b. 1923) Jasper Johns (U.S., b. 1930) Robert Rauschenberg (U.S., b. 1925) Claes Oldenburg (Sweden, U.S., b. 1929) Art criticism: part 2 ~ slide 3

4 Art criticism: part 2 ~ slide 4
Danto on the Artworld It is easy to mistake some of their artworks for the “real” thing. How can we distinguish? When we say this is a work of art and not a Brillo box, what is the sense of artistic identification of the “is”? Note that the acceptance of one identification rather than another is the acceptance of one world rather than another. Art criticism: part 2 ~ slide 4

6 Art criticism: part 2 ~ slide 6
Danto on the Artworld How can we recognize a painting of a pure white or black field as a work of art rather than a wall or window covering? “To see something as art requires something the eye cannot decry – an atmosphere of artistic theory, a knowledge of the history of art: an artworld” (218). Andy Warhol’s Brillo boxes Art criticism: part 2 ~ slide 6

7 Art criticism: part 2 ~ slide 7
Danto on the Artworld The idea of regarding art styles as a matrix. As the matrix expands, the Artworld becomes richer. Even all minuses on one row of the matrix only makes sense within the context of the pluses. Art criticism: part 2 ~ slide 7
