...the father of modern art is Immanuel Kant (see his Critique of Judgment).People snort.
But when Roger Kimball writes:
It is not surprising that the Critique of Judgment became an important theoretical document for those interested in abstract art: in Kant’s view, the purest beauty was also the most formal.People give him a respectful hearing.
I'm not saying Kant would have enjoyed abstract art.
But some of his ideas may have helped it get a start.
If all that's important is form and the medium,
then representation is truly tedium.
