Abstract

Review

This publication presents the 2012 Portuguese translation of Arthur Danto's seminal work on Andy Warhol, published by Editora Cosac Naify. As a direct translation of a significant philosophical text on art, its mere existence marks a crucial contribution to Lusophone scholarship and critical discourse. Arthur Danto, a towering figure in contemporary art philosophy, is renowned for his incisive analyses of modern and postmodern art, and his engagement with Warhol is particularly iconic, shaping much of the discourse around conceptual art, the "end of art" narrative, and the philosophical implications of Warhol's seemingly mundane subjects. Without an abstract to detail the specific focus or any unique contributions of this particular edition, one can nonetheless infer that this volume brings Danto's profound insights into Warhol's artistic practice and its broader philosophical ramifications to a new audience. Readers familiar with Danto's work can anticipate an exploration of how Warhol challenged traditional notions of art, authorship, and originality, forcing a re-evaluation of what constitutes art in an age of mechanical reproduction. Danto's ability to elevate art criticism to philosophical inquiry, using Warhol as a central example, makes his analysis indispensable for understanding the profound shifts in art theory that occurred in the latter half of the 20th century. The publication by Editora Cosac Naify, a publisher known for its high-quality art and design books, further underscores the importance of this translated edition. While the specific nuances or the quality of Vera Pereira's translation cannot be assessed without further information, the very availability of Danto's "Andy Warhol" in Portuguese is a significant cultural and academic event. It provides students, scholars, and art enthusiasts with direct access to a foundational text, fostering a deeper, philosophically informed appreciation of Warhol's legacy and its enduring relevance in contemporary art discourse within the Portuguese-speaking world.
