FIST 331 Lecture Notes - Lecture 2: Urban Exploration, Silent Film, Rudolf Arnheim
Document Summary
Really annoyed and pissed off at the french people. Ranty op-ed - the public"s stupidity is ruining art. imagination = queen of the faculties the faculties that we have are these practical abilities/things that we can do. Imagination is all about how it creates new things or allows us to see the world anew. If you are not creating anything new, then there is no new filter for any art to have been created. Bad painter/artists just replicate nature - there"s no interpretation. This tendency to just replicate nature is sort of a demand that the idiotic public have. Arresting/distilling a moment in time- a piece of art needs to be able to be distilled and really capture the moment on canvas. A painter through their love/desire/skill on their look to their subject will place a different perspective through filtering through their thoughts to what gets put out on the canvas.
