Kunst: Neu bearbeitet und herausgegeben von Stefan Majetschak (KunstPhilosophie)
Das Buch "Kunst" von Clive Bell, das 1914 erschien, ist in der angelsächsischen Welt ein Klassiker der Kunsttheorie, der noch heute starke Beachtung findet und moderne Strömungen der Kunsttheorie inspiriert. Clive Bell (1881-1964) war als bedeutender Kunstkritiker Mitglied der legendären Bloomsbury Group, die zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts die kulturelle Modernisierung Englands vorantrieb. Bell geht es in seinem Buch um die Frage, welche Eigenschaft ein Werk zu einem Kunstwerk macht. Seine Es ist die "signifikante Form", die allen Kunstwerken gemeinsam ist und die unser ästhetisches Gefühl auslöst. Diese auf die Form bezogene essentialistische Kunstauffassung ist nicht unwidersprochen geblieben, ist aber bis heute ein wichtiges Dokument einer formalistischen Ästhetik. Die im Jahr 1922 erschienene deutsche Übersetzung von Paul West-heim wird hier in einer vollständig überarbeiteten Fassung neu vorgelegt.

Arthur Clive Howard Bell, British critic, proposed his aesthetic theory of significant form in Art in 1914.
The group of Bloomsbury associated Arthur Clive Heward Bell, an Englishman. He studied history at Marlborough and Trinity College, Cambridge, which educated him. Bell, one most prominent man, lived. Back at least to Immanuel Kant, peopel can trace the general view that properties of an object make something or define experiences. Bell found nothing else relevant about an object in any way to assess a valuable work. A painting for example represents something completely irrelevant to evaluating it. Consequently, unnecessary knowledge of the historical context or the intention of the painter for the appreciation of visual, he thought. "From life," "we need bring" "nothing," "no knowledge of its ideas and affairs, no familiarity with its emotions," ""to appreciate a work," he wrote.
The understanding of the notion differs. For Immanuel Kant, it meant roughly the shape of an object with as not an element. For Bell in contrast, "the" "unreal" "distinction," "you" can "conceive of" "neither" "a colorless space" nor a "relation." Bell famously coined the term to describe the distinctive type of "combination of lines and colors" which makes an object work.
Bell also claimed that the key value lies in ability to produce a distinctive experience in the viewer. Bell called this experience "emotion." It arouses that experience, as he defined it. In response to a work, we perceive an expression and thus experience emotion, he also suggested. The experience in turn sees pure ordinary objects in the world not as a means to something else but as an end, he suggested.
Ultimately, the value lies only in a means to "good states of mind," Bell thought. With "no" "more excellent or more intense" "state of mind" "than" "contemplation," Bell thought of visual works among the most valuable things. George Edward Moore, the philosopher, heavily influenced Bell like many persons in the group of Bloomsbury in his account of value.
