on art terms, critical periods, and styles in the visual arts.

Encyclopedia
of Aesthetics
(via
Oxford Art Online) |
Encyclopedia
of Aesthetics is the most substantial English-language reference
work devoted solely to the exploration of this subject. Featuring
more than 600 articles by more than 500 globally recognized
art historians, philosophers, and theorists, this encyclopedia
provides coverage of historical accounts and critical discussions
on the subject. While aesthetics is often thought of as a
Western tradition beginning in the 18th century, the roots
of an interdisciplinary critical approach to art and culture
run far deeper – from the Classical era through the
Renaissance and up to the present day.
From Plato
to Heidegger, Romanticism to Post-Modernism, Beauty to Ugliness,
this authoritative source provides an even representation
of the wide range of competing ideas in the field today. This
encyclopedia surveys the full breadth of critical thought
on art, culture, and society; it is a comprehensive survey
of major concepts, thinkers, and debates about the meaning,
uses, and value of all the arts – from painting and
sculpture to literature, music, theater, dance, television,
film, and popular culture.
Of special
interest are in-depth surveys of Western aesthetics and broad
coverage of non-Western traditions and theories of art. The
full text of this reference work is available and searchable
within Oxford Art Online, and is also cross-searchable with
Grove Art Online content.
