This book deals with the complexity of art by focusing on the
singularity of the work of art. Gathering a selection of writings
in art theory and semiotics, it explores the question of
apprehending art from its perceptual aspects to aesthetic
comprehension and understanding. Theoretical enquiries focus in
particular on the dynamics of the perception of forms, the semiotic
value of colour, the aesthetic phenomenon of empathy, the function
of vision in relation to other senses and its faculty to lead, in a
substantial way, to the embodiment of sense. These theoretical
points are constantly observed with reference to the analysis of
works of art, especially from the beginning of the modern era, when
a renovated psychophysical approach oriented the evolution of
contemporary aesthetics. Research into art theories sheds light on
how differentials in topologic positions, dimensions, relationships
and tones contribute to the arising of forms and colours in
perception, and affect the perceiver. The essays presented address
in different ways the emergence of sense, by conceiving it as
deeply anchored to the dynamics of perception, in addition to the
cognitive disposition and knowledge, regardless of whether or not
the subject (artist or beholder) is aware of these processes.
Through in-depth analyses identifying to what extent the aesthetic
moment builds on perceptual and semiotic processes, works of art
are revealed to be singularities, reflecting the correlation with
morphodynamics in the sciences.
