Talk:Aestheticism

message: ===Dead or Alive?==='''''
If you look at the Wikipedia definition of 'irrational'
you will find it includes 'one who gets upset about
things yet to come'.
But how can it be 'irrational' to fear, for example,
the effects of global warming, when we agree it will come
inevitably?
Does this fear then not drive us to seek solutions?
It's working towards some sort of belief that we can do better
Which is not irrational.
Aestheticism on the other hand seems to seek no other responsibility
Than to indulge in form without meaning.

thread_title: Irrationalism and Aestheticism

message: I'm not sure about saying that Aestheticism represents the same tendencies as Symbolism. I mean to say, symbolists thought art should capture the truth in life, whereas aesthetes felt the opposite way. I don't think it's fair to just say they represent the same tendencies and leave it at that when they're rather opposite. Bertieismyho 17:24, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

message: I added a link to Matthew Elliot. It turns out he's a batsman. Is that the correct Matthew Elliot? Should it be Matt Elliott (musician)?
The article suggests (in my opinion) there's a revival. Is that really so? Blue Henk 07:15, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

message: The article Aesthetic Movement should be kept as a separate article. The term has signifigance both in decorative arts, and as a part of a larger arts and philosphical movement. In the decorative arts the term encompasses a good portion of post 1875 furniture and interiors, and is a very widely used term.CApitol3 12:40, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with this year-old comment.  The Aesthetic Movement in 19th century Britain deserves treatment separately from Aesthetics as a study. - PKM (talk) 20:21, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

message: I actually think that the phrase was coined by Benjamin Constant (Leighton, 2007; ) but I'll say that the origin is debated.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.199.241.38 (talk) 15:13, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  L'art pour l'art 

message: It seems to be a little strange to include Whistler in a list of painters that also includes Burne-Jones, Beardsley, and Rosetti.  It is not, I hope, tendentious to say that as a painter of talent, technique, and vision he was way ahead of all of them.  His survival, if not anointment, in the canon of great painters seems deserved and not much debated; few would argue the same for the others.  His Peacock room in the Sackler Museum in Washington may have pleased Reginald Bunthorne no end, but then look at his Nocturnes, for example, and you see a painter whose belief is hardly l'art pour l'art.   If the original author wishes to keep Whistler here, it seems a little explanation might be helpful.

message: I think the redirect Irrationalism to here is someone's POV. I prefer Irrationalism redirecting to  Irrationality. Please opine!! Rursus dixit. (mbork3!) 11:14, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, then Rursus! I surfed a little, and found there was some 19:th and early 20:th "philosophical movements" labeling themselves "irrationalism". With no obvious direct connection to Aestheticism. So perhaps. Rursus dixit. (mbork3!) 11:22, 15 February 2014 (UTC)

message: I am removing the reference to Willam Morris and the Arts and Crafts Movement because they don't represent Aestheticism in any meaningful sense. They believed in the utility of art and that art was of moral sigificance. Pelarmian (talk) 15:30, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
