Edoardo Mungiello, PhD

Explore influential ideas about art and aesthetics, from Plato and Aristotle to modern and contemporary thinkers. Using The School of Athens as a starting point, ground yourself in a familiar masterpiece before moving through centuries of artistic thought. Consider Umberto Eco’s idea that a work of art is not complete until the viewer engages with it — turning art into a collaboration. Discussion includes iconic works such as The Birth of Venus, Las Meninas, Impression, Sunrise, Fountain, and Campbell’s Soup Cans.
