The German Expressionist Body and the Philosophy of Arthur Schopenhauer - The 'Triumph of the Will' c. 1905-1918

This work focuses upon two propositions expressed by the painterFranz Marc. Thoughtfully-illustrated, rigorous, historically-basedand well-written, Brealey's book offers a well-structured and well-researchedanalysis of the art historical and philosophical literature involved.The writing is lucid, as is the attempt to synthesise art historyand philosophy. Attempts such as these are not made often enough inthe literature when in fact such endeavours ought to be fundamentalto philosophical aesthetics. The entire project is a sound one andshould become essential reading for professional scholars and studentsof aesthetics.

About the author

Dr. Marc Brealey is an independent art historian who specialises in
philosophical aesthetics. Brealey's research involves an exploration of
the rare number of artists who practiced philosophy and the even rarer
number of philosophers who practiced in the fine arts. He believes
that such projects will offer a major contribution towards encounters
between the arts, aesthetics and philosophy.
