Om den amerikanske maler Mark Tansey f.1949.

A rich exploration of the possibilities of representation after Modernism, Mark Taylor's new study charts the logic and continuity of Mark Tansey's painting by considering the philosophical ideas behind Tansey's art. Taylor examines how Tansey uses structuralist and poststructuralist thought as well as catastrophe, chaos, and complexity theory to create paintings that please the eye while provoking the mind. Taylor's clear accounts of thinkers ranging from Plato, Kant, and Hegel to Merleau-Ponty, Derrida, and de Man will be an invaluable contribution to students and teachers of art.

Mark Tansey's paintings show that these formalist dogmas criple painting by taking away its ability to articulate thought and feeling about our world. It dogmas construct an incumbering chamber of gates, walls, and shackels. Mark Tansey's wit and humor, brings metaphor and discourse back into the art of painting.

'Art Practice as Research' presents a compelling argument that the creative and cultural inquiry undertaken by artists is a form of research. The text explores themes, practice, and contexts of artistic inquiry and positions them within the discourse of research.
