More about the book
Clive Bell, a prominent 20th-century art critic, championed a strong version of formalism, asserting that the formal properties of an artwork are the sole criteria for its aesthetic value. He argued that the content, historical context, or the artist's intentions are irrelevant to appreciating art. Bell's philosophy emphasizes that true appreciation requires no prior knowledge or emotional engagement with the subject matter, positioning visual art as the highest form of aesthetic experience.
