Book Introduction to the Philosophy of Art

Works of architecture seem both to proceed from and to invite thoughts about how space is and ought to
be
Experienced and used. In any straightforward sense of Represents, representationally is clearly present
in many regions of practice
And is not a sufcient condition for art. Imitations may then differ from one another in three ways, by
using for the representation
With different media, different objects or different manner in different point of view. What people do, or one
can simply present
Those, speaking their own words and doing their own doings, or one can mix narrative and dramatic
presentation. A successful
Imitation for Aristotle must have the power of engaging our attention and our emotions almost as If it
were real. Art objects as imitations or presentation of as subject matter that many centrally
successful works of art do not present a subject matter at all.
Anne Sheppard similarly notes that there is nothing in the sensible world which an abstract painting, a
lyric poem, or a piece
Of music demonstrably Represents. The presentation of a subject matter inviting thought about it, fused to
the perceptual
Experience of the work - is a criterion of art. The representation itself is not centrally part of the intended
focus for attention.
A painting represents a certain object if and only if its artist intends by marking the canvas with paint to
create visual experience
In viewers that resembles the visual experience they would have of the object. Denotation is the core of
representation and
Is independent of resemblance. The practice or game of visual representation arises out of and builds on
natural seeing-in, natural
Awareness of resemblances. A work of art must present a subject matter .A work of art must be a
representation. But this
also suggests the extent to which success in artistic representation, as opposed to ordinary representation,

My sense of wall was no longer the side of a box. It was the enclosure of space affording protection
Concept against the
Storm or heat only when needed. But it was also to bring the outside world into the house and let the
inside of
The house go outside.
- Frank Lloyd Wright

Flw believed that extended horizontal line as the true earth-line of human life, indicative of freedom
and also planes parallel to the earth in buildings identify themselves with the ground, do most to
make the buildings belong to the ground. There in a beautiful forest was a solid, high rock-ledge
rising beside a waterfall, and the natural thing seemed to be to cantilever the house from that rock-
bank over the falling water. Then came client's (Mr. Kaufmann) love for the beautiful site. He loved
the site where the house was built and liked to listen to the waterfall. So that was the prime motive
in the design. I think you
can hear the waterfall when you look at the design. At least it is there, and he lives intimately with
the thing he loves. He audaciously offered to make the house part of it, stating that the visit to the
waterfall in the woods stays with me and a domicile takes shape in my mind to the music of the
stream. The contouring of the house into cantilevered ledges
responds so sympathetically to the rock strata of the stream banks that it does make Bear Run a
more wondrous landscape than it had been before. In Falling water he chose ferro-concrete for his
cantilevers, this use of reinforced concrete for the long suspended balconies was revolutionary.
Wright even incorporated a rock outcropping that projected above the living
room floor into his massive central hearth, further uniting the house with the earth. Flw boldly
extended the balcony of the second floor master bedroom soaring six feet beyond the living room
below.
