	Richard Wollheim \| Obituaries \| Guardian Unlimited
		Wollheim's focus, however, was on psychoanalysis, which has largely been marginal to philosophical psychology, and at best a target of critical hostility by philosophers of science.
		Wollheim coined the term "minimalism" in the celebrated essay Minimal Art (1965), in which he addressed monochrome painting and the "readymades" of Marcel Duchamp, seeking examples that met the minimal criteria a work of art must meet.
		Wollheim's cosmopolitan personality enabled him to take an interest in things that did not entirely live up to his philosophical demands, and it guaranteed that he never needed to fear being left "at the end of an ordinary day without friends or lovers".

	Art & Philosophy
		Wollheim's main argument against this view is that there need not be a separate experience of the two visual fields resembling one another, just as there needn't be an experience of the real‑life subject, for a picture to be recognized as picturing what it depicts.
		She quotes Wollheim saying that "application of the concept of style to a work of art is a precondition of its aesthetic interest," and argues that individual style is the product of the artist's attention to a subject, which as such steers the beholder's attention to the right spots.
		Wollheim is well conversant with the philosophical issues while bringing a depth and expertise to the appreciation of the art and craft of painting within both broad historical contexts and the minutiae of a particular artist and this unique painting.

	[No title]
		Richard Wollheim claimed that twofoldness is a necessary condition for the perception of pictorial representations and it is also a necessary condition for the aesthetic appreciation of pictures.
		Richard Wollheim argued that the perception of pictorial representations is a special case of a certain kind of visual experience, which he calls seeing in.
		Wollheim explains this difference by pointing out that whereas one is visually aware of the object in the latter case, one is simultaneously visually aware of the object and the surface of the painting (or photograph) in the former case.

	Richard Wollheim Summary
		Wollheim's aesthetics is marked by its psychological orientation, manifest in his account of the nature of art, artistic meaning, pictorial representation and artistic expression.
		In his works, Wollheim argued that art is a form of life (in Ludwig Wittgenstein's sense), artistic activity and appreciation requiring the existence of practices and institutions, art being an essentially historical phenomenon, the changes to which it is inevitably subject affecting the conceptual structure that surrounds it.
		This process is constituted by interactions between a person's past, present, and future, and to elucidate this Wollheim presented a typology of the mind, distinguishing mental dispositions from mental states, and proceeds to examine their interactions as well as those among the various systems of the mind, the conscious, the preconscious, and the unconscious.

	m stone-richards tribute to richard wollheim
		To me, then, it is as though my body consists of nought but ciphers which give me the key to everything; or as if we could enter into a new and hopeful relationship with the whole of existence if only we began to think with the heart.
		Aestheticism is but the historico-psychological recognition of this mode of thinking in a period of political and social transformation; prior to the eighteenth- and nineteenth-centuries it went under various guises of stoicism - as even the slightest acquaintance with Pater's Marius would show.
		Wollheim was the heir of Hume and he preferred $that mode of scepticism.

		During the 1960s and in the early 1970s Richard Wollheim wrote a series on essays on the visual arts that seemed then, as they do now, to be contributions of extraordinary brilliance.
		Wollheim’s 1999 theory of emotions is a theory of what psychologists call ‘emotion episodes’ - relatively extended sequences of thought, feeling and behavior.
		No doubt Wollheim would not count these responses as emotions, but they are the only emotional responses knowledge of which is empirically well-grounded and concerning whose nature there is a strong consensus in the scientific literature.

		Eric Wollheim is a figure of some mystique in his son's memoir, partly perhaps because of his frequent absence from home, but more because of his clothes.
		Wollheim never says that he hated his mother, but the dry, penetrating wit of this portrait, drawn largely in negatives, conveys an almost incredulous irritation.
		Wollheim says that his "inability to convey this terror to others, like my inability to convey the far worse horror of the smell and sight and touch of newspaper, has sometimes made me feel a mute amongst mankind".

		Richard Arthur Wollheim was born on May 5 1923, the son of an impresario and an actress; as a child, he was dandled on Diaghilev's knee.
		Wollheim also wrote a novel, A Family Romance (a Freudian term), which owed something to the anti-romans of Alain Robbe-Grillet and Michel Butor, and centred on the diary of an academic economist who is poisoning his wife.
		Wollheim was a Fellow of the British Academy and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and served as president of the Aristotelian Society in 1967-68, and of the British Society of Aesthetics from 1993.

	Richard Wollheim, Germs: A Memoir of Childhood
		Wollheim’s ‘Confessions’ tells the story of a wrestle for meaning with an environment wonderfully evoked, of an ordeal in the dark wood of experience which is both moving and funny, and which has the origins of an adult sexuality and of adult encounters with works of art.
		Richard Wollheim was born in London in 1923 and educated at Westminster School and Balliol College, Oxford.
		But that doesn't stop them from admiring Wollheim's memoir, which was chosen by several distinguished writers as their 'book of the year.' If reviews of his work seem too full of quotations, it is because Wollheim's writing is indescribable – except possibly by him.

	Artful mind: Svetlana Alpers on Richard Wollheim ArtForum - Find Articles
		RICHARD WOLLHEIM, who died on November 4, 2003, at the age of eighty, was one of the leading philosophers writing on art and on the mind in the twentieth century.
		If, as Wollheim argued, criticism is retrieval--that is, a reconstruction of the creative process by means of which a given artwork came into being--it follows that a retrieval of the artist's intentions, broadly speaking, would be a central ambition of the critic.
		Wollheim's account rests on positing an (invisible) internal spectator within the pictures whose role is, roughly put, to embody a sense of the inaccessibility of the depicted figure.

		Wollheim brings his text to a close by recognising the influence that contributed to Freud’s ideas as being manifold.
		Wollheim explains how Freud saw religion as a resemblance to neurotic illness and paradoxically keeps people healthy by making them subscribe to a group neurosis.

	You've Got an Attitude
		At any rate, this is the opinion of Richard Wollheim, whose new book, based on lectures given at Yale University in 1991, insists on the ''psychological reality'' of emotion, as both product and shaper of individual lived experience.
		Though this is not an original idea, Wollheim devotes great ingenuity and learning to developing his version of it, in a complex argument that twists and turns, investigating questions nested within questions.
		It is not surprising that Wollheim should describe his work as ''applied philosophy,'' a supposedly science-like mode of investigation, though it requires not much more than the basic philosophical tools of a desk to put one's feet on, a window to stare out of and a head full of ideas.

	REVIEW: Philosopher remembers a strange, sterile boyhood
		Wollheim's posthumously published look back at life in a sterilized, strictly structured setting is part therapy, part rumination, an exercise in psychological mind-clearing almost as thorough as his mother's housekeeping.
		Wollheim's mother, who husband insisted she give up her career as an actor when they married, seems as much in need of psychological counselling as her son, and Germs is the story of an odd, almost eerie form of family dysfunction.
		Wollheim's English mother, her ambitions frustrated, was a detached parent of another stripe, a domestic diva whose dictates must be obeyed.
