Aesthetic Principles Of Indian Art

Description

Aesthetic Principles Of Indian Art It is the extravagant theory of “art for art’s sake” which has, during recent times, aimed at deifying art for its own sake other than its very human purpose, without which every ery work of art would be useless to man or would not come even to exist in the creative realm of mankind. At least, no art can be said to exist or to have existed as such for its own sake with any of the art-creating and art-loving peoples and societies. It is by man and for the sake of man that all art is produced. With respect to its serving a dual purpose of creation and recreation, the process of art activity can be said to have a twofold dimension. While working on a work of art, that is creating, the artist recreates ideas-that is human ideas which are the result of his human mind and knowledge-on a material level. In turn the particular piece of art serves man or men in recreating those very ideas on a thought level. Thus it is as a vehicle for the intercommunication of human ideas between the creating and the recreating that art comes into being to take a concrete shape in a material medium, Art is a means to serve an end which is primarily human.
