The Useful Illusion
" Indeterminacy of reference" (p31) is just the creation.
When the inspiration you feel when you look at a flower has nothing to do with the actual physical object of the flower, how do you convey that?
" Natuaral beauty reminds us once again that what we aknowlege in a work of art is not all that in which the language of art speaks" (p31)
There is a seperation between the objective world, the way we experience it and how we communicate it. Natural beauty exists, it inspires from a place of mystery. It has no definitive purpose in aesthetics, yet it inspires. Yet it brings meaning with it and we "know". Our imagination is triggered and ideas, concepts come. A practical thing. Modern art does the same thing. We just know things even though they are not definable. Even though they are born in illusion - the other inspires me into action in the moment. Modern Art Rules! The human reflection of Nature
