Description
xThis collection of 12 essays by the Belgian philosopher and theorist Bart Verschaffel addresses the meaning and relevance of art today. Written over the course of his career, they cover a rich and inventive range of topics: from mockery and laughter to the artwork as a 'gift', and from caricature to splendour. This is the first synoptic collection of Verschaffel's work, with many of the essays translated into English for the first time.
