Art and Knowledge

     "Beauty is truth, truth beauty,—that is all

Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know."

Keats - Ode on a Grecian Urn

What is Art?

Leornado Da Vinci | Yoko Ono | Henrick Ibsen | William Shakespeare | Tracy Emin | ukiyo-e artist Hokusai | Marco Evaristti | Nick Ut | Damien Hirst | Marcel Duchamp | Hans Holbein the Younger | Soviet | Dmitrii Moor

  • Do the disciplines in the arts diverge from one another more fundamentally than disciplines within other areas of knowledge?

How do we relate to art?

Language | Sense Perception | Emotion | Reason | Imagination | Intuition | Memory | Faith

  • Can a work of art have meaning of which the artist themselves is unaware?

How does Art relate to Knowledge

Production | Sharing | Interpretation | Storage

  • If the language of an art form is non-verbal, does this free it from being limited to propositional knowledge?

Further Research

Legacy

  • Can we separate the moral character of the artist from the value of the artwork?

Art as Research

We tend to think of Art as : expresssion of knowledge; sharing/storing knowledge... but what about creating knowledge? 

Try thinking about Art as Research and also Art as Therapy.
