CONCEPTUAL ART AS A WAY OF PHILOSOPHIZING: PAINTING INSTEAD OF PHILOSOPHY

Abstract

Introduction. The article is focused on studying the intersection of contemporary art and philosophy. Contemporary art is a polymorphic formation, within which there are many individual styles and directions, however, this diversity always has a certain philosophy of art. The philosophy of modern art consists in rejecting the development of traditional artistic methods and techniques. The work of art becomes an object of intellectual knowledge, and not aesthetic perception. The cognitive function of art becomes a priority, and art in general and conceptual art in particular, become ways of knowing the world, which is of interest for philosophical reflection. The aim of the study is to make a philosophical analysis of conceptual art in order to identify its philosophical sources and content.
