What Do Artists Know? by James Elkins
Brings together historians, philosophers, critics, curators, artists, and educators to ask how art is and should be taught. Explores the theories that underwrite art education at all levels, the pertinent history of art education, and the most promising current conceptualizations.“This book asks one of the most important questions in contemporary art, and James Elkins's way of asking it is idiosyncratic, original, and inclusiveAnyone who is interested in the intelligence of art, or in the idea of art as a process of enquiry, will find this book informative and engrossing. What Do Artists Know? is a must for graduate art students, emerging artists, and those faculty who currently think they know all they need to know.”
—Timothy Emlyn Jones, Dean of the Burren College of Art, Ireland
