This volume explores some of the more important of Hans-Georg Gadamer's extensive writings on art and literature. These essays focus particularly on the challenge issued by modern painting and literature to our customary ideas of art, and in turn revitalise our understanding of it. They are readily accessible to beginning students and general readers.
