Significantly, it could be argued that beauty always maintains an underlying sense of disability and that increasing this sense over time may actually renew works of art that risk to fall out of fashion because of changing standards of taste. It is often the presence of disability that allows the beauty of an art work to endure over time. Would the Venus de Milo still be considered one of the great examples of both aesthetic and human beauty if she still had both her arms? Perhaps it is an exaggeration to consider the Venus disabled, but René Magritte...

Although research in neuroaesthetics has tended to focus on vi- sual art, independent research on music and dance is now begin- ning to make significant contributions to the field. In fact, several presentations at the conference focused on perception of visual motion in dance. This research is based on the neuroscience of body posture and movement perception, which has uncovered two specialized routes for processing human bodies.

Therefore, the dilemma of aesthetic experience is, as the notion suggests, a double bind. On the one hand, aesthetic experience is universal; it is 'for everyone'. It is, to use the language of Kant, the product of an aesthetic judgement of taste, 'which can make a rightful claim upon everyone's assent'. 2 If it does not possess this universality, then it loses its unique c haracter and significance. For what makes aesthetic experience so significant—so revolutionary even—is that all of us have the capacity for it simply by being human. ...

Colours, too, add to a harmonious impression. They are organised in restrict- ed colour schemes, or – as they are sometimes called – colour palettes. These restricted colour combinations make use of mostly monochrome compositions, only incidentally setting colour contrasts on small areas, and function as codi- fications of an exquisite taste, underlining the luxurious touch of the commod- ity. In fact, with one exception, 8 all the commercials mentioned above clearly follow this strategy, as opposed to gaudy, screaming, and saturated colours for lower cost products....

Finally, a few words of caution. Vision is given a prominent position in aesthetics, often dominating the other senses. The present approach is similar in this, but it should be stressed that hearing, touch, smell, and even taste all are implicated in perceptual processing. The vision system in the brain is linked to the other sensory systems, which permits interaction at an early processing stage. At a later stage, visual information is integrated with other kinds of sensory information to produce multimodal perceptual experiences and mental imagery....

Some persons enjoy landscapes rather like big art. Landscape paintings give us a taste for the real thing. What we want is not ecology, but natural art. Consider the autumn leaves in their colour, so much admired by my mother and father, indeed by us all. If one is a formalist, then it does not matter how the landscape originated. Find a vantage point where trees near and far, foreground and background, are pleasantly framed, and admire the vista. The historical genesis is irrelevant. A drive through the countryside is something like a walk through a museum of landscape paintings....

Yes, but the eye of the beholder is notoriously subjective, hopelessly narrow in its capacities for vision. One has only to consult smell or taste, for example, to realize that much more is going on than the eye can see. Science, by extending so greatly human capacities for perception, and by integrating these into theory, teaches us what is objectively there. We realize what is going on in the dark, underground, or over time. Without science, there is no sense of deep time, nor of geological or evolutionary history, and little appreciation of ecology.

Psychologist H.J. Eysenck’s studies support the existence of an objective factor of aesthetic appreciation independent of individual tastes. Eysenck described a “general factor” underlying aesthetic discrimination [Eys40][Eys72]. Eysenck asked observers to rank over 300 pictures of portraits, vases, clocks, ships, and so forth, in the order of liking. The subjects and pictures were chosen to eliminate irrelevant associations due to the cultural background of the sub- jects, the technical execution of the images, and subjects’ familiarity with the images.

Gestalt structures of purely formal beauty. Objects of sensation manifest themselves very rarely, if ever, in isolation. They normally occur in association with each other in such a way as to manifest Gestalt structures of different types, and such structures, too, may be beautiful or ugly. Thus melodies, tones, geometrical patterns, blends of perfumes or of tastes, rhythms, colour-harmonies, etc., will constitute Witasek's second class of elementary aesthetic objects (39ff.).

Simple objects of sensation: individual colours, tones, tastes, smells, etc. (objects of outer sensation), and als the constituent qualitative elements of e.g. feelings and emotions (objects of inner sensation). Clearly, such objects of sensation can themselves be aesthetically pleasing to different degrees, and their power to please is in some sense basic, not capable of being accounted for in terms of other, more primitive phenomena. Sensations will therefore constitute the first class of elementary aesthetic objects in Witasek's taxonomy....

Esthetics (also spelled aesthetics) is a subdiscipline of value theory or axiology, which is a branch of philosophy that studies sensory values, sometimes called judgments of sentiment or taste. Esthetics is closely associated with the philosophy of High Art. Esthetics includes art as well as the very purpose behind it. Esthetics as a branch of philosophy studies art, the methods of evaluating art, and judgments of art. Art has existed through all recorded human history. Art is unique to human beings because of our innate ability to abstract.
