PERCEPTION AND COGNITION IN TWENTIETH CENTURY VISUAL ARTS: Beuys's Extended Notion of Art
KATARINA RUKAVINA
Sažetak
The question of the nature of art is almost as old as philosophy itself. Initial philosophical debates on art confirm the relevance of relationship of art with reality as a necessity for its own recognition. Twentieth century visual art rejects the presentation of the world the way we see it because it seeks a more direct and realistic expression. In this way, visual art follows the epistemological crisis which has given perception a privileged position. Painting techniques reflect not only this new relationship toward reality but also a new comprehension of art.
This paper deals with the discourse of visuality within visual artistic practices of the twentieth century keeping its focus on Joseph Beuys. Contemporary art figures as a continuation of the efforts of avantgarde. In this respect, it so closely approaches commonplace reality as to quation art's own recognition. Indispensable distance is no longer a matter of perceiving of work of art but of recognizing the idea of art. Thus, the philosophical question of status of art emerges as its very essence.
