Assumptions of Art
- Art is a universal phenomenon, present in every culture and generation.
- Age does not determine the value of art; new expressions are continually emerging alongside historical works.
- Notable artworks from different countries illustrate this universality, such as "Spoliarium" by Juan Luna (Philippines, 1884), "Mona Lisa" by Leonardo da Vinci (France, 16th century), and "The Scream" by Edvard Munch (Norway, 1893).
- A perspective from Dudley et al. (1960) states, “An art is not good because it is old, but old because it is good,” emphasizing the enduring value of quality art over time.
Art is not Nature
- Art is distinguished from nature as it is a product of human creativity and interpretation.
- Artists manipulate materials and concepts, showcasing their personal visions rather than merely replicating the natural world.
- Paul Cézanne's work exemplifies this concept of transforming reality into unique artistic expressions.
Art Involves Experience
- Art transcends factual information; it is an experience that engages the viewer's senses and emotions.
- Interaction with art requires personal interpretation, allowing individuals to draw from their unique backgrounds and perspectives.
- The relationship between the observer and the artwork is dynamic, highlighting the subjective nature of artistic engagement.
