The Philosophy Behind Art Appreciation
To fully appreciate a work of art in order to buy it, one must enter the personal and cultural universe of the artist. The meaning of art does not proceed immediately, it requires some learning, an introduction. An encyclopedic knowledge of art history does not exactly help appreciate the work. You must be touched by the beauty of a painting or music. The taste is natural and can not be educated.
It therefore allows one to appreciate when he says for example that the canary is nice, another correct expression can be reminded and say to yourself that you are pleased. It is so not only for the taste of tongue, palate and throat, but also for what pleases the eyes and ears of everyone. One is the purple sweet and kind feelings, another is found dead and dull.
One prefers the sound of wind instruments other than strings. Talk about this error to acknowledge the opinion of others, which differs from ours, as if he opposed him logically. It would be absurd in terms of pleasure, one must accept the principle. For each individual, has his own taste. It is a different beauty. For it would be ridiculous instead that a man who prided himself on some taste, should think to justify his claim by saying that said object for example the building we see the garment as a door, we hear the concert, the poem that is subjected to our decision is good for yourself.
Because it is not enough that something one likes that one has the right to call it beautiful. Much can be for a person the charm, nobody cares but when he gives a beautiful thing, he claims to find the same satisfaction in others. It does not consider it only for himself but for all and then speaks of beauty as if it were an Object Count property. The thing is beautiful, and it relies on the agreement of satisfaction with one’s decision, not that he has found this agreement several times but it is required.
One cannot be blamed if they think otherwise, it denies them the taste while demanding that they have, and thus we can not say. To each his own, that is like saying there is no taste, that is to say, no aesthetic judgments that can legitimately claim universal assent.
Some works seem airtight, it means you need to learn their language. Many works remain totally incomprehensible to the vast majority of the public. They bring them no pleasure simply because they have not learned to appreciate them.
My favorite art usually isAustralian art and also aboriginal art. I simply love it.
