Anato-physiology of Art

Zusatztext

Perhaps the whole pathos of this work consists not only in building the theory of the system of art as a form of consciousness, but also by defining the foundations of this system (taste and myth as principles of art in their dialectics) in determining the status of art as an original, self-sufficient phenomenon beyond its reducing exclusively to the object or subject, to society or individual. Art is neither a sum nor a reflection of the consciousness of others, but in fact - and in this lies the personalistic intonation of the prolegomena of this work - an independent Essence! Art is not a parallel reality, in which one removed to abandon the routine of everyday existence, but a unique form of spiritual realization, the realization of the versatility of being itself. Art is a sphere of spiritual and material activity in which there is no imitation of organic phenomena or adaptation to natural phenomena of paints, stone, metal, sound, etc., but giving them life. Creativity, in essence, first of all, is the process of revitalizing matter, this is a cycle of translating artistic material into artistic flesh, in the course of creating works of art.
