On the aesthetic Experience

Abstract

Aesthetic attitude is different from ordinary one that a man purely devotes himself to an impression. This impression is a "Vorstellung", so we experience the "gefuhlmassiges Erfassen der Vorstellung" and have the "Vorstellungserlebnis". In order to observe more deeply the aesthetic experience, the problem on artistic activity must be researched. From this point of view I take up the "portrait" as the matter in hand, and try to clasp the positivity of aesthetic experience by investigating the creative "intention" of the artist and appreciator.
