If the output of interdisciplinary dialog between psychology, art history and aesthetics was to offer a more open-ended notion of ornament, one that mediates an aesthetic “vitality”, it would still be up to artists and architects at the time to debate over what was the “vitality” that to be conveyed, what role did the artist play in this mediation and ultimately what value would this creation possess.
