Art (Barnes & Noble Digital Library)

by Clive Bell

Overview

In his seminal and controversial work in defense of abstract art, renowned critic Clive Bell argues that “aesthetic emotion” is a response to the “significant form” of a work of art, the forms and relations of art itself; any other meaning or association the piece of art holds is irrelevant.
