«¿Qué es una obra maestra?» is the essay collection by Arthur C. Danto and others, published by Editorial Crítica in paperback (264 pages, in Spanish).
The collected texts address why certain works of European art achieve the status of masterpieces: alongside their internal quality, historical, social and cultural factors weigh in. The journey runs from the Italian Renaissance to the contemporary avant-gardes and devotes an analysis to Guernica as a great reference of the twentieth century.
Volume 1 of the Letras de Humanidad collection, published in 2002. Translation by María José Furió; 264 pages in Spanish.
For readers of art history, aesthetics and cultural criticism interested in how a work becomes consecrated as a masterpiece.
Arthur Coleman Danto was an American art critic, philosopher, and professor at Columbia University.
