Sep 25, 2023 · 3. In a contemporary context, high art ( or "fine art" ) is distinguished by the intent of the artist.

Feb 19, 2016 · 4. Nietzsche consistently throughout his writings argues for a monological conception of art--art that does not seek "witnesses" or an audience. Not only did the episode with Wagner force Nietzsche to have "second thoughts" about art, but to "like anything at all after Wagner was a triumph." Cultural and social prejudices, phobias, and ...
Feb 1, 2016 · 1. The quote suggests that we cannot state the enigma of art purely in terms based on our experience of the artwork. Artworks do not "gaze" at us, we do them, except non-propositionally, which is a function of the social criticism artworks can generate, that artworks are more important, or at least vaster, than us, which is utopian.

It seems that you are trying to distinguish aesthetic vs cognitive value of art.

Jul 17, 2022 · With that said, art is not at odds with logic in a broader sense, since art which strives to be harmonious, well-structured, coherent, truthful, and the likes could be said to be logical.

Jan 22, 2024 · Can art be rated objectively. Yes, of course, simply by defining what you mean by "rating". A trivial rating would be "how much does it cost" and just define that the cost of a piece of art is its worth. This immediately and trivially makes all art pieces comparable. Whether you like this kind of rating is secondary.
