PERSPECTIVE OF ART

Philosophy of art

the study of the nature of art, including concepts such as

interpretation, representation and expression, and form. It
is closely related to aesthetics, the philosophical study of
beauty and taste.
 PHILOSOPHERS
Art as a Representation
Aristotle
(Aristotle) According to him, the aim of art is not to represent the outward
appearance of things but their inward significance.

Plato's most important student in Philosophy Agreed with his teacher that art is a
form of imitation

However in contrast to his teachers disgust, Aristotle conceived of art as a

representing possible version of reality

For him all kinds of art do not aim to represent reality as it is but to provide a vision
of what might be or the many possibilities in reality.
PHILOSOPHERS

Art as a Disinterested Judgment

Immanuel Kant
He considered the criterion of beauty to be the foundation of art,
as it can be universal even though it is subjective: hence, art is
inherently independent from a particular interest.
 PHILOSOPHERS

Art as a Communication of Emotions

Leo Tolstoy
According to him, art places a huge role in communication to
its audience emotions that the artist previously experienced.
 PHILOSOPHERS
Art as mimesis (Plato) - According to him, art is an imitation of the real that was an
imitation of the ideal. Art is an imitation of an imitation.

Art as an Imitation
According to Plato artist are imitators and art is just an imitation

the things in this world are only copies of the original, the eternal and the true
eternities that can only be found in the world of the forms

Poetry can really stir up your emotions and make you think outside the box.

Art is just a way of trying to imitate something, like a painting is just trying to imitate
nature, or even just trying to imitate reality in the world.
