What is What Artistry Can Do : Essays on Art and Beauty about?

## 12 essays on artistry, art criticism and aesthetics written over a 30-year period * Approaches established problems of aesthetics and art criticism from oblique and unexpected angles, such as laughter and mockery, the artist’s ‘first artwork’, art as playing hide-and-seek, and caricature * Offers an original and challenging discussion of the aesthetic experience and the notions of beauty and ugliness * Presents complex theoretical issues and arguments in non-technical language comprehensible by non-specialists This collection of essays by the Belgian philosopher and theorist Bart Verschaffel addresses the meaning and relevance of art today. Written over the course of his career, they cover a rich and inventive range of topics: from laughter and the artwork as gift, to splendour and modern beauty. This is the first synoptic collection of Verschaffel’s work, with many of the essays translated into English for the first time.
