Book Synopsis The Transfiguration of the Commonplace by : Arthur C. Danto
Book excerpt: Danto argues that recent developments in art--in particular the production of works that cannot be told from ordinary things--make urgent the need for a new theory of art. He demonstrates the relationship between philosophy and art and the connections that hold between art, social institutions, and art history.
