The Merleau-Ponty Aesthetics Reader: Philosophy and Painting (Northwester University Studies in Phenomenology and Existential Philosophy) Paperback – January 1, 1993

Merleau Ponty's phenomenological approach to art is well worth reading for both philosphers and artists. I enjoyed the fact that it has so many of his essays on aesthetics altogether. It enables one to see the progression of ideas. The translation is approachable and not too idiomatic.
