Descripción
Sumario:Schopenhauer’s remarks about different art expressions are known to affirm instrumental music’s superiority. As the abstract arts enter the spotlight in the contemporary scene, some of the philosopher’s interpreters suggest a relation between abstract painting and music, since both operate in a non-figurative manner. This article intends to draw instrumental music and abstract painting closer to other artistic manifestations, figurativism included, according to his own aesthetic metaphysics as well as Thomas Weiskel’s theory of the sublime.
