THE COLLEGE NEWS >. , Page Seven vs Art Part of Formal: ; 3 Rational Side of Life Continued from Page One rate moment of this background can- not be preserved unless it is preserved by art. For art, by the use of media which make possible the continuance in some form of the vividness of ac- tual intuition, retains the content that the clearest of memories must lose. Yet mere reproduction of an experi- enced depth of reality is not the pur- pose of art; its aim is. likewise a revelation of other depths to come. The artist foregoes much rich va- riety in order to fix one aspect of what he has: enjoyed in a permanent form. Within this form,’ however, he in- cludes as variants even that which his life has missed, because the intensity, the _adumbrated portion of being which it is his task to portray, is to him a question asking after the na- ture of other ‘adumbrateds, and he can answer this question only by clarifying the meaning of that very adumbrated which aroused it. He must involve in that which he is ex- pressing more than its own individual character, for he can never penetrate sufficiently to the inmost being of any- . thing to express that and that alone. Beginning with the relativized and repeatable sensuous, the sole guide to the intensity of experience, he at- tempts to transmute it into a symbol of the absolutely unique and essential reality beneath it; but he cannot find such a complete and private idiosyn- crasy. He atones for his failure by trying to answer what the intensive being to which he can attain demands —its relation to other adumbrateds, inasmuch as it is still a universal. The sensuous object which is used to express the adumbrated need not belong to any particular artistic me-. dium. Any material that can be manipulated ‘so that its symbolic values are transformed” is satisfac- tory material for the artist. In order to perform such manipulation, how- ever, he must be a master of craft and technique, which are the leading principles ‘of art. Not only are the leading principles of art integrated into the process of attainment; they are embodied in the attained result as well. If the result stood alone, it would be inferred, ‘not made, ‘and art is a making. In this way art does imitate nature, ‘for it reproduces nature’s rhythm on a smaller scale. The: artist is a more clever worker than: ‘nature, who is blind, ‘but -he can produce only sym- bolical things, while nature makes reality. Even by means of his sym- bols, however, he can improve on na- ture, for he can unite past and future in the present. If one art object cannot completely supplement another so that the extent of reality as a whole is known, aes- thetics, which is art generalized and geparated from the limitations of con- crete existence, can nevertheless com- pass the whole which art can possi- bly. reveal. The main problem of aes- thetics if considered in this light, is to understand the expressive powers of the different media which art em- ploys. These fall into two basic classes—the spatial and the temporal. The spatial arts, such as architecture, present a single object which em- bodies at once the accumulative. sig- nificance of the steps by which it was achieved. The temporal arts, such as music, on the other hand, present a series of .elements whose ° accumula- tive effect is present only in a retentive mind. There must be a way of bridging the gap between the two, a way of presenting a spatial art so that its meaning will be apprehended by the succession of its parts and of spatially presenting a temporal art so that its accumulative effect will not be lost. Before the answer to this problem can be discovered, a means must be found to transmute the - different forms of spatial art into one aygother and likewise with the fotms of tem- poral art. It is not to be inferred from this that each art form is de- nied to have a function and a flavor of its own, but there is to be in- ferred a possibility that the meaning which one expresses may be expressed again in another, ‘not by duplication, but by readjustment of the new me- dium. A knowledge of the capacities of each medium is therefore neces- sary, an understanding of the varia- tions possible’ in’ each. Only when this is possessed can the investig&tion advance to the creation of a formula If Ann Hathaway had owned a VIRGINIA ART HANDBAG Shakespeare would never have writ- ten, “Who steals my purse steals trash.” Haverford Ho April 22.—Speeches by Joseph Tay- lor, ’°36, Professor Richard M. Fulton and Raymond Wilson, assistant direc- tor of the Peace Division of the Amer- ican Friends Service Committee, com- pose the program for the peace demonstration held at Haverford Col- lege at ‘11 o’clock today. Munitions, neutrality legislation and the aboli- tion of compulsory military service are the specific issues concerned. by which one medium can reproduce the significance of another. That such a formula is not impossible is demonstrated by modern. ‘logicians, who have at least fore-shadowed the way to an understanding of how all the different kinds of speech and ar- guments which men use could be re- duced'to one another. If by 4 similar method, a principle for transmuting arts of a single class into each other might be found, by such a method ‘ still, some principle for bridging the spatial and temporal classes. them- selves might be possible of discovery, some aesthetic formula defining the whole field of art. But without the discipline of logic, nothing like this can be attained. | during the four days of their stay 0 Ids Peace Program! PRE.
