Music is part of a system of art but it is not representative. Sound music exists, while taste/smell music does not because of the nature of our eyes. Music can evoke "sad feelings" sometimes but it is not "sad," and it won't cry. Absolute music is not representational. Contour Theory: "Sonic Shape" evokes lines.

Bazin
|
When you look at a photo, you are literally "seeing" the contents of the photo.

|
Walton
|
The photograph is not 40 feet high but the building is, therefore you are not seeing the building. It is a representation--an abstraction. It is not the same experience as seeing it.

Artwork provokes aesthetic emotion, through significant form

Tolstoy

Art is only successful when it communicates a specific emotion from the artist to viewer.

Bullough
|
To view art, one must assume a psychical distance and view it with no pretexts.
|
|
|
Dickie
|
There is no such thing as a mental state, Bullough is a fuckhead. However, you should try to keep an open mind.
|
|
|
Indescernible Counterparts
|
Why is one thing art while what it represents is not? Brillo Boxes, for instance. Also, see Danto's Newtons Laws example.
|
|
|
