But is It Art?: An Introduction to Art Theory by Cynthia Freeland

4.0

I don’t quite understand why readers expected this small book will deliver the answer for the classic question “is it Art?” aka “what is art?”. Maybe some people think Cynthia made a false advertising titling the book with the question, but the version I read named An introduction to Art theory”. Hence, I was left nothing but appreciation for its neat and inspiring content. Thanks to it, so far I wrote 4 essays about the contemporary art, aesthetics and art theories.

A book doesn’t have to answer a question in the end. It might be good enough when shedding the light on the way leading to the answer. As a result, I found roughly 10 more books to dig deeper into art theories :(
