But Is It Art?: The Value of Art and the Temptation of Theory

by Benjamin R. Tilghman

A work using Wittgenstein's concept of philosophy to argue against the possibility of theories that seek to define art. It claims that the problems about identification and evaluation of works of art is that these problems are not theoretical, but grow out of our artistic traditions and practice.
