Philosophy of Art
Professor Helena Domenic

New Criticism and New HistoricismFor our next assignment:​

· Can you think of an artist (musical, theatrical, visual, etc) who has said or done something hideous that you previously admired? ​

· Who was the artist and what was it?​
Did the artist’s words or deeds change the way you felt about that person’s work?​

· Is there ever a time when it is acceptable to consume (purchase, support, view) art from an artist who has done “bad things?” ​
If yes, explain why.​
If no, explain why.

· Consider the statement, “engaging critically with a work of art is completely different from endorsing the morality of the artist.”​

· Next, consider this statement: “our time is limited, we cannot devote equal critical attention to every work of art out there, and it’s reasonable for critics to curate their choices a little. ”

Do either of these statements change your answers to the questions above? If so, how and why?

In what ways do you think this work is important? Is there some kind of morality to the work? How can this work be about reality, and whose reality at that?

What were the advances made that lead to such perfection and what pitfalls did some artists fall into that Michelangelo managed to avoid?

Read The book and Write in your own words. According to Vasari, who divided the history of Renaissance art into three phases, the Cinquecento saw the final apotheosis and perfection of the arti di disegni (painting, sculpture and architecture). Using, at least, 4 examples outline the evolution from the Second Age of the Quattrocento to the Third Age, beginning with Leonardo da Vinci and ending with the “divine” Michelangelo. What were the advances made that lead to such perfection and what pitfalls did some artists fall into that Michelangelo managed to avoid? In other words, why was Michelangelo “perfect” while Leonardo, Pontormo, Perugino, Ghirlandaio, Rosso Fiorentino, etc. not? Examples may utilize the literary tropes of Vasari on exemplars of behavior- morally and professionally- that clearly communicate lessons to be learned from previous artists.
