Excerpt from The Conception of Art
The need to dignify this state of mental inactivity by supplying it with a name, as an added sense, becomes less apparent as the science of aesthetics develops, and which now can be regarded only as an accommodation which those affecting art should outgrow.
Every one who confronts a work of art forms an opinion, and few deny themselves an ex pression of it. This opinion is usually based on some familiar notion concerning art in general, by which it is measured. One cannot talk long with a layman upon the subject of art before knowing what his determining idea is.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book challenges traditional definitions of art, presenting a new perspective centered on the regulative power of art as it gives form and meaning to human creation for the purpose of intellectual and aesthetic pleasure. The author distinguishes between the aesthetic quality of a work and the work itself, proposing that art is not the physical product but rather the inherent quality that elevates it above mere imitation. Through a nuanced examination of art history, the author explores the relationship between art and beauty, moving beyond established notions to embrace a more inclusive understanding of art's purpose and value. This book offers a fresh and thought-provoking contribution to the ongoing dialogue on the nature of art, inviting readers to reconsider the boundaries and possibilities of artistic expression.
