Is There Truth in Art?

Is There Truth in Art?
Publisher: Cornell Univ Pr | ISBN: 0801483530 | edition 1996 | PDF | 248 pages | 21,5 mb
The question posed by Herman Rapaport, in the title of this book, is intended both seriously and ironically. It is not Rapaport's purpose to debate whether or not truth resides in art. The title points rather to his belief that truth needs to be reconceptualized in the light of continuing efforts to deconstruct and to discredit the notion of truthfulness in art. The question of art's truthfulness persists because truth in art is neither an entity or content that has been injected into the work, nor a transcendental concept or ground that exists outside it.
