  • Description

    It restores the mimetic definition of art on the basis of factors which traditional answers neglect, namely the conceptual link between art’s aesthetic value and ‘non-exhibited’ epistemological and historical relations. These factors converge on an expanded notion of the artistic image (a notion which can even encompass music, abstract art, and some conceptual idioms). (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)
