Wartofsky Dennis Palmer Wolf Department of Philosophy Graduate School of Education Bernard Baruch College, Harvard University City University of New York Cambridge, Massachusetts New York, New York Copyrighted Material Preface The chapters in this volume are, with two exceptions, based on presentations at the conference, "Development and the Arts," which was convened at Clark University in October 1987, under the auspices of the Heinz Werner Institute for Developmental Analysis. The presenters at the conference included psychologists, philosophers, a psychiatrist, an architect, and an artist. The selection of participants reflects one of the aims of the Heinz Werner Institute: to promote dissemination of ideas among scholars and practitioners from different disciplines. The program was designed to realize another principal aim of the Institute: to promote critical consideration of the concept of development-in this case, in relation to the arts: in theoretical/critical discourse, in analyses of the child's work and the adult artist's, and in the discussion of art history. Unfortunately, two papers presented at the conference could not be included in the present volume. These were "Computers and the Art of Children: The Research of Joachim F. Wohlwill, 1984-1987," by Susan D. Wills, Maryellen Degnan, and Michael J. Rovine, and "Development in the Visual Arts: Basic Skills, Visual Schemas and Creativity" by Ellen Winner. We take this occasion to acknowledge the value of these contributions to the program. Two chapters have been prepared for this publication: "Narratives of Change and Continuity: Women Artists Reflect on their Work" by Margery B. Franklin, and "A Response to Wartofsky" by Sidney J. Blatt. The 12 chapters are arranged under four headings: Concepts of Development in the Arts, Artistic Processes in ix Copyrighted Material
