Please join us on Tuesday, November 5, for a toast to celebrate the publication of Ivan Gaskell’s new book, Paintings and the Past: Philosophy, History, Art.

This book is an exploration of how art—specifically paintings in the European manner—can be mobilized to make knowledge claims about the past. Gaskell argues that the search for pictorial meaning in paintings yields limited results and should be replaced by attempts to define the point of such things, which is cumulative and ever subject to change. Its aim is to enhance philosophical acuity in respect of the analysis of paintings, and to increase their amenability to philosophically satisfying historical use.

The celebration will take place on on the 6th floor following the GCM.

Tuesday, November 5, 4 pm
38 West 86th Street
Penthouse North & South
RSVP: alec.newell@bgc.bard.edu
