Contemporary Art: The Generative Role of Play
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 05 August 2009
Extract
AllOfUs who have considered the problem of enjoying contemporary art are aware that the most serious barriers to it are the reluctance on the part of many painters and sculptors to put aside the notion that a work of art must mirror the physical world about us and their unwillingness to accept the fact that all true art must go “through the looking glass” — that is beyond the mirror.
