Therefore, the artist can be considered irrelevant to the meaning of the art, and the artwork itself. Beardsley in 1946 subscribed to this view, stating that the intentions of the artist within an artwork are not available. • Since we frequently can and do interpret a work of art with little or no knowledge about the artist, let alone what is intended, an artist’s intention doesn’t fix the meaning of the work. Example: Consider a painting of two rings joined. Suppose the artist sincerely asserts that it represents the male/female relationship.
This point in the story signifies the transition from an external journey to an internal struggle of the protagonist. The man’s conscience now appears as the benevolent guide causing him to dwell on his initial decision to do nothing; now he has accepted the quest: to determine what the correct actions were in that situation. The struggle now begins; there are so many scenarios and unanswered questions that can never be answered because of one decision. “What could have possibly overwhelmed him to such an extent that he was unable to keep from crying out,” people do not burst out sobbing for nothing especially not in public; “did he have an incurable disease,” the thousands of possibilities that could have massed themselves to bring this human being to his breaking point will never be known. Paul had even been reassured that his actions were right by others, but you must fight basic instinct to ignore another human that is suffering, it is unnatural.
Unkle Billy escaped his direct fate by dooming the others and it is never let known to the reader if he becomes happy later on in his life, though it is doubted by his cynical and untrustworthy nature; he would probably never let himself be happy by always fearing the world around him. Oakhurst and the Duchess both had more life to look forward to and so far they had been living life on their terms, even if it wasn’t the optimal way to live. The Innocent and Piney had each other and had run away to fulfil their lives of happiness together. Mother Shipton was the only one in the confining cabin that didn’t have something specific to look forward to after the mountains, yet she had been living her life the way she choose before the exile. Society had thrown out Oakhurst, Duchess and Mother Shipton for them being themselves; by living their successes they were condemned.
Artists are all about vision: the ability to see something that hasn't been created yet. Artist don't care about the process; the final art is all that matters. Sure, if artist see something really cool we might ask another artist how he got that effect, but artist don't spend much of our time blabbing about tools or techniques when we could be making more art, or exchanging ideas instead. Poke fun of our tools, and who cares? Artist take it as a compliment — and it marks you as an idiot.
He decides that he is going to live his life by believing that he has no hands or eyes or senses, but that he just always believed that he had these things. By looking at things through this train of thought, he will protect himself from accepting any false beliefs to be true, ending the deceivers game of illusionist trickery. He is willing to accept this task although he is aware of how hard it is going to be to steer away from his former habitual opinions. It is evident that by the beginning of the second meditation Descartes has found himself shaken out of his comfort zone. Considering that he has decided to regard everything around him as false and an illusion concocted by this powerful demon, he is just left stuck in the middle of absolutely nothing.
Yet to many Thoreau is a hero that nobody listened to. He is truly a hero by the way he did things. His beliefs were like no other, yet people never gave him a chance to speak. Even today, after we have seen historical events that were influenced by Thoreau, we still see him as crazy. Thoreau wanted peace.
I think that there are a lot of artists, including myself that use a representational standpoint. Playing on emotions to create. I think that everyone can relate to his works for everyone at one point in time has felt drama or tragedy. From what I understood about Kant is that he broke down pleasure in art like a puzzle, but put them into groups. One of them is specific interest.
During the times Tom Sawyer is not present in Huck's life, Huck is able to devise plans in most circumstances even if his plans do stay relatively simple. However, when Tom is present, Huck loses his ability to formulate plans because Tom thinks himself to be more experienced at such things and therefore will not allow Huck to formulate his own strategies: "[Huck] said, ‘Don’t do nothing of the kind; it’s one of the most jackass ideas I ever struck;’ but [Tom] never paid no attention to me; went right on. It was his way when he’d got his plans set" (141). Huck's journey to "come of age" is unintentionally thwarted by Tom's lack of logical thinking and excess of self-absorption as they
Reader-response theory is downplayed by the belief that if everyone is able to determine his own meaning, then no piece of art can ever be misunderstood. Formalism cannot stand alone, for it is faulty in that there are times when the artwork presented cannot be taken literally. Much of the art in this world is abstract and represents a greater idea that cannot be established by observing only what the piece is without regard to the artist’s meaning. By combining the theories of intentionalism, reader-response, and formalism, a better theory is created in which the meaning of
Iago was constantly persuading me to steal it from my Lady and I denied his request every single time but yesterday, opportunity presented itself and I did not think twice about taking it. I had hoped that by presenting the handkerchief, he would be kinder and more loving towards me and that night, I got what I wanted but the affection and love I received was a reward and not a gift. I observed Othello and my Lady together. His touches are sincere and gentle, his voice loving and sweet and they are not a reward, but a gift. My husband is not and will never be like that and because of this, I am regretting my thievery immediately for I fear that he will use the handkerchief to destroy the amorous bond my Lady and Othello has developed.
