We present a unique opportunity to test the ability of artists to systematically evoke emotions in an audience via art and, transversely, for viewers to pick out intentions of the artist. This follows a recent article which had shown this connection using installation artworks by MFA student-artists. However, this earlier article had left open ques...
Wassily Kandinsky was one of the first artists who produced and exhibited art
works with a growing degree of abstraction, from approximately 1910 onwards.
His artistic development was accompanied by intense theoretical considerations.
The theorizing of a correspondence between artistic production, originating from the artist’s "vibration of the...
Die Konzeption ästhetischer Wahrnehmung durch Vibrationen ist seit dem 18. Jahrhundert ein Bestandteil der kunsttheoretischen und ästhetischen Praxis. Die rhetorische Rückbindung an diesen gemeinsamen Nenner der geschilderten Wahrnehmungsprozesse von Sehen und Hören bildete dabei offensichtlich gerade für die theoretische Fundierung von Abstrakter...
