I was reading this earlier, its from neitzche's paper called "on truth and lies in the normal sense" it just raised issues and ideas with me on whether we consider art to be a truth, or a route to truth. Does art convey realism, in anysense? because even all art conveys realist ideas....
Philosophy questions what reality is, it is one of the major problems of philosophy, but art works in a way that it works within our representational coinciousness, but art challenges our bassic concepts of our own reality, art questions existance...
just some thoughts
"How is it that art is only possible as a lie?
When they are closed, my eyes perceive countless changing images within themselves. Imagination produces these images, and i know that they do not correspond to reality. Thus i believe in them only as images and not as realities.
Surfaces, forms.
Art includes the delight of awakening belief by means of surfaces. But one is not really deveived! [If one were] then art would cease to be.
Art works through deception - yet one which does not deceive us?
What is the source of the pleasure we take in deception which we have already tried, in an illusion which is always recognized as illusion?
Thus art treats illusion as illusion; therefore it does not wish to deveive; it is true."
