PhDArts co-director Dr. Janneke Wesseling’s e-book ‘De volmaakte beschouwer, De ervaring van het kunstwerk en receptie-esthetica’ was recently published. The key question of the book is: how does the work of art work?
The argumentation takes place at the intersection of reception aesthetics, art evaluation and art criticism and is illustrated by many examples from both the history of art and contemporary art. It is directed towards a variety of readers who wish to know more about the workings of the artwork, but it is also intended for artists, critics, other art professionals and students of art, philosophy and history. The aim is to offer a way to look at art in order to enrich one’s experience of it.
The e-book can be accessed on desk-tops, e-readers and tablets and is available via the website of Valiz and the larger e-book stores. Buy the book here: http://valiz.nl/Devolmaaktebeschouwer
