Representation in Art (III) Representation in Conceptual Art

Summary/Abstract: Let us start with the difference between works of conceptual art and works of non-conceptual, traditional art. It can be said, to begin with, that traditional art can be well displayed as a never ending attempt to articulate beauty via a particular genre/means. The means of tragedy were described by Aristotle. The means of architecture were offered by Vitruvius. The means of Renaissance painting can be distilled from the paintings of Leonardo Da Vinci, Tizian and others, the means of Renaissance sculpture are to be discovered within Donatello’s or Michelangelo’s work. The novel as an artistic genre was established by Cervantes.
