Different Approaches to the Concept of Aesthetics in Art
Although aesthetics is often referred to together with the concept of "beautiful" in art, this is not an absolute definition. This has a close relationship with the subject, so the relationship between art and aesthetics has also undergone changes in the changing conditions of the subject. Therefore, aesthetics does not always relate to "beautiful", and beyond that, it reaches many philosophical and artistic definitions.
In this talk, it will be focused on what the art-aesthetics-beautiful connection means, what its ideological background is and how this connection has changed and reached today.
