Synopsis "Qué es el Arte"

A medio camino entre la monografía filosófica y la meditación memorística, Qué es el arte pone en tela de juicio la creencia popular según la cual el arte es un concepto indefinible, y tras ello nos expone las propiedades que constituyen su sentido universal. Según Danto, y a pesar de las diversas teorías, una obra de arte se define siempre por dos criterios esenciales: el significado y la materialización, y a estos les suma un tercer criterio, el de la interpretación que cada espectador aporta a esa obra.Con su peculiar estilo claro y accesible, Danto combina la filosofía y el arte de épocas y géneros diversos, y de este modo nos ofrece una clara panorámica de la universalidad de la producción estética.

Arthur C. Danto (Ann Arbor, 1924 – New York, 2013) was an influential art philosopher, critic, and professor at Columbia University. Known for his theory of the “end of art”, he argued that, after the disruptions of the 20th century, art no longer follows a linear historical narrative. His concept of the “artworld” holds that a work is art if it is accepted by the art community. Danto was also an art critic at The Nation and a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He received Fulbright and Guggenheim fellowships, and chaired the American Society for Aesthetics.

Among his most notable works are The Transfiguration of the Commonplace (1981), After the End of Art (1997), The Abuse of Beauty (2003), Beyond the Brillo Box (2003), and What Art Is (2013). His essay Encounters and Reflections (1990) won the National Book Critics Circle Award for Criticism. Danto is considered a key figure in contemporary aesthetics, with a body of work that has deeply influenced art philosophy and cultural criticism.
