Example text
Indeed, we may have become so habituated to them (through their simplicity and/or familiarity) that we actually find it hard to explain them in formal terms. It may also be the case that we respond to the implications of something intuitively, even though we have not actually followed the entire chain of inferences which warrant that response. The larger part of our knowledge exists most of the time in this intuitive form, and aesthetic considerations especially so. What separates ineffable from explicable intuition is that in the former there is a dominant element which, of its nature, cannot be put into words adequately, whereas the latter—whilst not usually noticed in explicit terms, can, in principle, be given some explanation, given the right context of understanding (such as through a philosophical text).
Such art, in other words, is the practice whose meaning is constituted by the image’s intrinsic significance. I am arguing, then, that the making and aesthetic appreciation of visual art centres on the image’s intrinsic significance, and that this is constituted by the intuitive negotiation of phenomenological depth in the terms already described. It should be reiterated, however, that this does not reduce artistic meaning to the expression of philosophical generalities. The key thing is the aesthetically distinctive way in which phenomenological depth operates in specific works or bodies of work.
