Photos. Danto's writing is elegant and his insights acute: the Marilyn Diptych's transformative repetition is linked to Coltrane's compositions; Warhol's final Last Supper series represented, Danto argues convincingly in a profound final chapter, the culmination of the artist's mission to externalize the interiority of our shared world. His Brillo Boxes and Campbell's Soup Cans challenged the viewer to ask, What is the difference between two things, exactly alike, one of which is art and one of which is not? Danto, whose visit to a Warhol show in 1964 inspired him to become a philosopher of art, views many of Warhol's most important works as answers to such philosophical puzzles. . (Oct.)Copyri

What Happened to Danto? Conrad J. Obregon What has happened to Arthur C. Danto? Once Danto was amongst the greatest living aestheticians, as well as an eminent art critic for "The Nation". One could always assume that his writings would be interesting and often provocative. After this volume one can not rely on the assumption.The book is part of a series of short books from the Yale University Press, aimed at exploring American culture by exploring the lives of particular individuals. Danto quickly cla. Thought Provoking Joanna D. Scandiffio I like the accessibility of Danto's book. Without losing his reader, Danto explains the art movements before and after Warhol, giving the reader the ability to focus on how Warhol became the icon he is today. The reader is not left behind in highbrow art definitions or in-depth analysis. You begin to think about what is art and how that definition changes as the culture changes. You can focus on the Marilyn paintings, the Brillo Boxes or the Campbell Soup Cans . Before buying this book I strongly recommend to check on YouTube Mr Roberto M. Pensotti Before buying this book I strongly recommend to check on YouTube Mr. Danto's interview "the Brillo Box and so forth" and the extraordinary "Andy Warhol Documentary Part 1 & 2." then you can decide whether you want to add Mr. Danto's personal philosophical opinion on this controversial but seminal artist.

Danto traces the evolution of the pop artist, including his early reception, relationships with artists such as Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg, and the Factory phenomenon. He offers close readings of individual Warhol works, including their social context and philosophical dimensions, key differences with predecessors such as Marcel Duchamp, and parallels with successors like Jeff Koons. In a work of great wisdom and insight, art critic and philosopher Arthur Danto delivers a compact, masterful tour of Andy Warhol’s personal, artistic, and philosophical transformations. The tastes and values of ordinary persons all at once were inseparable from advanced art.". Danto brings to bear encyclopedic knowledge of Warhol’s time and shows us Warhol as an endlessly multidimensional figure—artist, political activist, filmmaker, writer, philosopher—who retains permanent residence in our national imagination.Danto suggests that "what makes him an American icon is that his subject matter is always something that the ordinary American understands: everything, or nearly everything he made art out of came straight out of the daily lives of very ordinary Americans
