Classic genres of the fine arts are characterized by not requiring
any sounds or voice. However, this nonverbal quality allows works
of art to become a challenge for art history, which is bound to
language and writing. The expression "silent poetry" used for
painting or architecture is an eloquent indicator for the
communicative effect of forms of expression, which are measured by
language, but whose silent gestures nevertheless have to be judged
using their own categories. The topos of the underlying
non-describability of art refers to aspects like aura and
atmosphere, opening the wide field of pictorial rhetoric, and
leading up to the museum practices used to hang paintings.
