Sep 25, 2023 · 3. In a contemporary context, high art ( or "fine art" ) is distinguished by the intent of the artist. Low art, such as commercial art like the design of a Campbell's soup tin, can be raised to high art by someone like Andy Warhol. The intent is purely aesthetic and intellectual rather than decorative and commercial. – nwr. Sep 26, 2023 at 3:17.
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.

Dec 17, 2015 · There's a demarcation problem, not only between high and low art, but also around the boundary of art itself. Philosopher William Kennick even claimed that no possible art theory would make you better able to identify a work of art than your naive intuitions. However all your questions presuppose a consensus around aesthetics that just doesn't ...
It seems that you are trying to distinguish aesthetic vs cognitive value of art. "Artistic value" depends on diverse factors like skill of the creator, story of creation, originality, reachness of allusions, popular appeal, etc. Aesthetic factors are perceptual, and hence "inherent", although judgement of value still depends on cultural context, including technical and stylistic canons.
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.
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. And when such a work of art allows itself to be interpreted from multiple angles, often it's to present a coherent whole which is greater than the sum of its parts.
Sep 23, 2021 · Jameson shows that both are fundamentally shaped by the logic of commodity Capitalism (works of art of both types become commodities that advocate their own consumption). The division itself is embraced and advanced by the ruling class (who favor high art as opposed to low art) and does the work of masking the possibility of truly collective art (art produced within conditions of collective ...
What is "high art"? [closed] Does the difference with low art still matter, and is high art not merely socially sanctioned by class but superior to low art, to the extent of the latter being an embarrassing mistake?
Jan 26, 2018 · You are starting from an extremely biased interpretation of art. Many artists have been well-balanced people. Passion is not a mental disease, and mental diseases do not constitute genuine passion. The art done in Jungian Art Therapy is not high art that speaks to the world, unless it already would be with all the mental torture absent.
