7 “Nourishing” Insights on Art and Creativity from Susan Sontag: 1) All aesthetic judgment is really cultural evaluation. 2) All great art contains at its center contemplation, a dynamic contemplation. 3) Modern aesthetics is crippled by its dependence upon the concept of “beauty.” As if art were “about” beauty—as science is “about” truth! 4) Art is a form of consciousness. 5) Art is the production of mental events in/as a concrete sensuous form. 6) Art is a form of nourishment (of consciousness, the spirit). 7) Why has there been no new international style in 50 years? Because the new ideas, the new needs are not yet clear (Hence we content ourselves with variations and refinements on Art Deco and, for refreshment and fusions, parodistic—“Pop”—revivals of older styles). https://www.instagram.com/p/BstymyJhCDK/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=cgvtwhjkvkoe
