Beauty and Critical Art: Is Beauty at Odds with Critical-Political Engagement?

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Traditionally, beauty is understood as an ability of some objects (artworks included) to occasion in viewers a distinctive type of unmediated/pure pleasure-aesthetic pleasure. According to this common understanding of beauty, political-critical art doesnot seem to raise in viewers the feeling of aesthetic pleasure. Many contemporary critical artists and politically engaged artists deliberately produce an art as unappealing to the senses as possible (their attitude could be called, following Arthur Danto, kalliphobia-""beauty phobia""). Critical art is a type of art which usually does not strike us with beauty at first sight because this ""political art"" usually deals with issues of social injustice and political struggles, rendering contemplation andaesthetic pure pleasure unachievable. Yet, even if beauty, in critical art's case, seems to be a difficult, demanding, and not an immediately recognisable one (mostly because of its unappealing, unsettling look), this does not mean that
