Noël Carroll,

Art, Politics, and Modernism

This article focuses on the arguments that Arthur Danto has advanced for alleging that the developmental history of art is over. The author is skeptical of Danto's conclusion and maintains that Danto has failed to demonstrate that art history is necessarily closed. The author also contends that Danto's end‐of‐art thesis is better construed as a specimen of art criticism than as an example of the speculative philosophy of art history.
