LESSON SEVEN: SHOULD ART BE FOR ART'S SAKE? They believe that art is valuable in itself, that is, art for art's sake. I feel for art such reverent admiration and love for art that it causes me great distress to see it prostituted by individuals who, incapable of having others feel nor think what they think, hide their impotence behind the slogan of "art for art's sake." This stuff of "art for art's sake" is an absurdity and its defenders have always gotten on my nerves. mati.eas.asu.edu:8421 /ChicanArte/html_pages/Protest.L7.html   (1290 words)

Art Art for art's sake affirmed that art was valuable as art, that artistic pursuits were their own justification, and that art did not need moral justification - and indeed, was allowed to be morally subversive. "Art for art's sake" was a bohemian creed in the nineteenth century, a slogan raised in defiance of those who - from John Ruskin to the much later Communist advocates of socialist realism - thought that the value of art was to serve some moral or didactic purpose. While art was creative, Broch held that kitsch depended solely on plundering creative art by adopting formulas that seek to imitate it, limiting itself to conventions and demanding a totalitarianism of those recognizable conventions. www.jahsonic.com /Art.html   (2573 words)

Avant garde at opensource encyclopedia The avant garde was originally concerned with art for the sake of social progress: seeing the artist as the vanguard of a social reform movement. Over time however the term has also come to be associated with movements concerned with "art for art's sake", concerned directly with aesthetic experience rather than social reform, the direct opposite of its original intentions. See for example: dadaism, cubism, futurism, lettrisme, paradoxism, neoism, mail art, constructivism, etc. www.wiki.tatet.com /Avant_garde.html   (155 words)

Design Studio Press - Concept Design “This isn’t art for art’s sake; it’s art for thought’s sake. At the heart of their coming together was a desire to create and explore new images and ideas in a creative environment apart from their normal design jobs. See, how with a flick of the wrist the concept artists in this tantalizing new book spit out fine ideas, and then proceed to ‘sell’ those ideas using great design, rare intelligence and innovative manipulation of their tools. www.designstudiopress.com /books/conceptdesign   (529 words)

Drewe A Justification For the Inclusion of the Arts in the Educational Curriculum Proponents of the "art for art's sake" point of view suggest that participation in aesthetic activity is valuable in and of itself; that is, appreciating and creating art is valuable for its own sake. However, I conclude that, although art may be instrinsically valuable, the strongest justification for the inclusion of the arts lies in the potential of aesthetic activity to foster a rich understanding of the human experience on the part of those participating in aesthetic activity. Rather than justifying the inclusion of the arts for their pleasure-giving potential, I would suggest that it would be more prudent to examine their potential for expanding students' understanding. www.ed.uiuc.edu /EPS/PES-yearbook/95_docs/drewe.html   (529 words)

ART / 4 / 2DAY He studied art and became a founder of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, an art group embracing art for art's sake. Dante Rossetti, put off by his father's passionate politics, came to believe that art and literature should pursue beauty for beauty's sake and not try to be moral, instructive, or politically useful. The image is one that echoes the art of the middle ages, both in its style, and in its veneration of Mary; something relatively alien to the Protestant world of Victorian England. www.safran-arts.com /42day/art/art4apr/art0409.html   (6519 words)

Harvard Gazette: Defining art: TV or not TV? Appiah said that while the schools of modern art and art for art's sake have often led to works notable for their obscurity, universities have performed a significant service by familiarizing a greater number of people with the strategies and modes of expression of difficult modern art. This attack on culture is reflected in the decline of the National Endowment for the Arts, "which has virtually disappeared as an institution with any influence in our lives," Brustein said. Kay Shelemay, the G. Gordon Watts Professor of Music, presented a musical recording to illustrate her point that serious and enduring forms of art can often coexist, even blend, with popular forms. www.news.harvard.edu /gazette/2001/10.18/15-art.html   (1034 words)

Graffiti - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Graffiti artists would sign their "tags" for the sake of doing so and sometimes to increase their reputation and prestige as a "writer" or a graffiti artist. Graffiti is subject to different societal pressures from popularly-recognized art forms, since graffiti appears on walls, freeways, buildings, trains or any accessible surfaces that are not owned by the person who applies the graffiti. graffiti by Antck - UFG, THC - Chicago, IL The word "graffiti" expresses the plural of "graffito", although the singular form has become relatively obscure and is largely used in art history to refer to works of art made by scratching the design on a surface. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Graffiti_art   (4313 words)

Conceptual Art This group denied the "art for art's sake" approach and methods derived from modernism, believing the source of meaning in visual arts to be language, and therefore featured words and written explanations in their works. Hence a conceptual work of art, in view of its general purpose and the relative aspects of its components, has unalterable qualities; and consequently, for the artists of this movement, definitions of art and artwork, and their relation to humanity, the environment and aesthetics are in process of re-evaluation, from a standpoint apart from modernism. Conceptual Art is different from "Concept" as the content of art, but can be considered an abstract form of the idea and perception of the artwork originating in the artist's mind, which is later displayed in a proposed structure, and a variety of forms. www.caroun.com /Art/ConceptualArt/ConceptualArt.html   (1140 words)

Modernism: Art for Art's Sake Unfortunately for the history of art, in the process of neutralizing progressive modernism, art history also had to neutralize all other art from earlier periods and from elsewhere in the world. Through their art, in pictures that showed directly or indirectly the plight of the peasants, the exploitation of the poor, prostitution, and so on, the progessives repeatedly drew attention to the political and social ills of contemporary society, conditions they felt needed to be addressed and corrected. Traditional art historians and critics are fond of extending this sort of approach beyond the modernist period to other artists and periods to enhance the illusion of a history of art composed along one great thread of stylistic interconnection. witcombe.sbc.edu /modernism/artsake.html   (1987 words)

TourismNet :  Your Smart Gate To Egypt Art flourished and played a vital role in shaping the ancient Egyptian culture, though art for 'arts sake' as its known today did not exist in ancient Egypt. Thus all forms of art - sculpture in the round, relief and painting - mainly possessed a ritual purpose whose aim was to reflect the Egyptian conception of his world and afterlife, which was conceived as a timeless idealized world. The artist showed objects in what were believed to be their real forms without any distortion of perspective. tourism.egnet.net /culture/ancient.asp?t=Arts&country=Egypt&ct=culture   (992 words)

ComeCorrect(.net): The Importance of Renegade Stickers The next sticker you see might be less "art for art's sake" than a business card for another artist trying to make it. There's also limitations on what an artist can do given the size of his canvas and, depending on where the art's going down, the safety of his (or her) location....the two definitely go hand it hand, but the stickers are something literally anyone could make for any reason....there's appeal in the universality of it... Sticker art, the type that is printed, requires a computer and a printer, which isn't a stretch these days, but it's still less universal than a marker. www.comecorrect.net /mt/archives/000082.html   (820 words)

W. Eugene Smith But if Smith endured personal hardships for the sake of his work, he always had the satisfaction of being true to himself and he has probably, more than any other individual, raised the art of the photographic essay to unequalled heights. By 1941, Smith had grown dissatisfied with the rut he seemed to be getting into and (against the advice of his co-workers at the magazine) resigned his Life post for the creatively freer but considerably less secure life of a free lancer. Smith received a second Guggenheim Fellowship in 1958-1959 and began a project of photographing the city as he sees it (day and night and in all seasons of the year) through the window of his New York loft. www.photo-seminars.com /Fame/eugesmith.htm   (820 words)
