The End of Art Theory by Victor Burgin
Art theory', understood as those forms of aesthetics, art history and criticism which began in the Enlightenment and culminated in 'high modernism', is now at an end. These essays, examining the interdependencies of advertising, film, painting and photography, constitute a call for a 'new art theory' - a practice of writing whose end is to contribute to a general 'theory of representations': an understanding of the modes and means of symbolic articulation of our forms of sociality and subjectivity.
VICTOR BURGIN is Millard Professor of Fine Art at Goldsmiths College, UK and Professor Emeritus of History of Consciousness, University of California, USA
