What Drawing and Painting Really Mean by Paul Crowther

Drawings and paintings are made, and the process of making creates unique meanings that transform our perception of space-time and our sense of finitude. By using a phenomenological approach, the understanding of art practice and its relation to particular historical and cultural contexts can be significantly enhanced.

"..The book makes a welcome contribution to the philosophy of the visual arts, offering a much-needed theoretical alternative to continental philosophy for practice-based doctoral theses. ...Overall, the book is a timely contribution which responds to growing interest within the field."

- Journal of Visual Art Practice
