Art & Beauty's Role in Knowledge
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper examining whether art can provide knowledge, or whether that knowledge instead is resident within the individual but unrealized until the experience of the art reveals it. Whether the individual is able to either recognize or access that knowledge is immaterial. When art can bring forth an understanding, it is not providing knowledge per se, but rather providing a framework in which that knowledge can be contained and translated to the conscious mind of its viewer. It is within this context that the work of Warhol becomes important, and Picasso's Weeping Women series portrays not only the image of pain, but also conveys an understanding of it.
