Year End
The year comes to a close for Artburst with a wonderful night of Harmony for Humanity concert with Larry Allen Brown. On Sunday Bob Penny provided a beautiful start to the Holiday Season with his reading of Dylan Thomas' "A Child's Christmas in Wales".
Please stay tuned as we consider next year.
Motion in the Pictorial Work
The reference to Kant can be explained. There is no motion in the pictorial work. In at least one sense. The object, we think, just stays put. Yet we find motion there. The motion is not just in the depicting of a moving subject in the work. That is sort of obvious and in fact is not any motion at all. The sort of motion in the horses. We notice that they are not moving, in part maybe because we think they should be moving. Kant's lesson, Dufrenne says, is this: "movement in the subject precedes movement in the object."(278)
Time in the Pictorial Work
"...the time that animates pictorial space must belong to the structure of the painting."(277) Are we here equating pictorial with painting? I don't think so, at least it needn't be that way.
The Pictorial Work
Okay, we begin again with our investigation of the aesthetic experience. In particular we consider the pictorial work. I think I am a little out of order from Dufrenne, but we have done the foundational work, and we can pick and choose a little bit. And we may return to the musical work sometime later.
