| Ironman: Art Nouveau Aesthetic http://johntylerchristopher.deviantart.com |
I recently had the opportunity to provide a written response to the question “Are Facts Aesthetic?”. My basic premise is facts are presented within a certain framework and language. If any information is presented in this format that can be construed as facts. I relate this idea of frameworks and language to art aesthetics in art movements. Say for example Art Nouveau. Work can be said to belong to the Art Nouveau movement by it’s form, fitting into a certain set of parameters, which match or mimic other forms and therefore they belong to the group we call Art Nouveau. Modernism, Surrealism, Dadaism, Cubism all have their own frameworks to be adhered to in order that work can be classified as one of them.
This I argue is the same for facts.
