The book contains essays by practising artists on their relationship to philosophy, and how philosophical ideas have shaped their work.
The relationship between philosophy and art has always been a close one - and today's conceptual art draws heavily on ideas and concepts from the philosophical field. Osborne and co introduce the reader to a wide variety of key ideas and showcase the work of over 20 artists, whilst explaining the relationship between the two.
This is a useful introduction to a complicated field for all arts students and the general reader. For artists it is a treasure trove of ideas about the relationship between theory and practice.
