In these studies Roman Ingarden investigates the nature and mode of
being of four kinds of art works: the musical work, the picture,
the architectural work, and the film. He establishes that the work
of art is a purely intentional object but considers also its
connections to the real world. By analyzing a work of art in its
constitutive heterogeneous strata, Ingarden demonstrates that a
work of art will reveal, when examined in the appropriate way, its
own inherent structure. Further, he shows that in consequence of
the art work's structure, we must distinguish between the work
itself and the concretizations of it by the listener or viewer.
Ingarden elaborates upon the conception of concretization which he
present in The Literary Work of Art and applies it to music and
visual art. He also employs the concept of aspect to clarify the
ontic structure of these art works and the distinction between the
concretization of the work and the work itself. The distinction
between the work's concretization -- effectuated in the mental
experiences of the listener or viewer -- and the work itself serves
to help Ingarden confirm and account for the work's intersubjective
identity.
The problem of aesthetic value, Ingarden maintains, can be
fruitfully treated only after the ontic structure of art work has
been clarified. His primary concern in Ontology of the Work of Art
is to ascertain and describe that structure and the mode of
existence of works of art. In addition, he offers several
discussions of aesthetic value, showing in the m the connections
between questions of aesthetic value and the structure of the work
of art.
