Book Description:
The author of numerous books and essays on art ranging from Michelangelo to Mark Rothko and Wolfgang Laib presents a postmodern reevaluation of genius. OTTMANN's thoughts in this study should be considered as fragments that form a horizon of conceptual events across the aesthetical and ethical discourses of five of Western philosophy's most influential thinkers: Spinoza, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Wittgenstein, and Heidegger. The book suggests that while there is no essentialist quality of genius, the postmodern artist can reach the extraordinary by way of an active-passive 'Genius Decision,' which is engaged in an activity of failure in its desire to represent the nonrepresentable.
