Expression in the Performing Arts
The performing arts represent a significant part of the artistic production in our culture. Correspondingly the fields of drama, film, music, opera, dance and performance studies are expanding. However, these arts remain an underexplored territory for aesthetics and the philosophy of art. Expression in the Performing Arts tries to contribute to this area. The volume collects essays written by international scholars who address a variety of themes concerning the core philosophical topic of expression in the theory of the performing arts. Specific questions about the ontology of art, the nature of the performances, the role of the performer, and the relations between spectators and works emerg...

Art and Expression
Perception of expression distinguishes our cognitive activity in a pervasive, significant and peculiar way, and manifests itself paradigmatically in the vast world of artistic production. Art and Expression examines the cognitive processes involved in artistic production, aesthetic reception, understanding and enjoyment. Using a phenomenological theoretical and methodological framework, developed by Rudolf Arnheim and other important scholars interested in expressive media, Alberto Argenton considers a wide range of artistic works, which span the whole arc of the history of western graphic and pictorial art. Argenton analyses the representational strategies of a dynamic and expressive charac...
Aesthetic as Science of Expression and General Linguistic
Author Benedetto Croce presents an insightful treatise on Aesthetics in his book, 'Aesthetic as Science of Expression and General Linguistic'. Croce establishes two forms of knowledge, logical and intuitive, and defines Aesthetics as the science of intuitive knowledge. He claims that intuition and expression are the same, with beauty being a successful expression, and unsuccessful expression not considered an expression at all. The second part of the book explores the history of aesthetics, citing references from Greek to Post-Kantians and German Idealists, and providing ingenious commentary. Croce also delves into language, discussing the individuality of speech, roots, and the relationship between grammar and logic. This insightful book offers a comprehensive understanding of Aesthetics and language, making it a must-read for those interested in these subjects.
Artists Emerging
This title was first published in 2000. Most children enjoy drawing and use it to express a wide range of experiences and emotions. Drawing can offer an avenue of expression where words fail. So why do many people stop drawing after the early school years? This is an examination of the early work of John Everett Millais, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Pablo Picasso, Michael Rothenstein, Gerard Hoffnung, Sarah Raphael and David Downes to investigate the reasons why these artists were able to sustain and develop their drawing skill and expressive potential while others failed. The close study of these artists' early drawings reveals their sequences of progress and their eventual achievement. Sheila Paine, a former President of the National Society for Education in Art and Design, shares the experience of a lifetime's work in art education to explore the mysteries of drawing fluency, its often precocious beginnings, and the personal, social and cultural circumstances which help or hinder its development.
