[QUOTE="Tuur, post: 77658404, member: 445885"] Will hold off of further comments here until I finish the book, with the following exception: Being that art is communication, then all forms of art have their own language and grammar. That didn't hit me until yesterday evening, and felt so [I]stupid[/I] because it's so obvious. It's what you deal with in designing book covers: there's a definite visual language going on, and is easy to see if you browse book covers by type. That language is in the image, the style of the image, the type of font, and the placement of images and text. What this also means is there are likely cultures in art just as in any human society, and the art will build upon and refer to that culture. There will be different "languages" in art. This has me thinking that just as there are Romance languages descended from Latin, there are likely languages in art descended from older languages. Right or wrong, this makes Bell's [I]Art[/I] more palatable in that what Bell is likely describing are the aspects of a particular language. And, in the words of Forest Gump, "That's all I have to say about that." At least for now. [/QUOTE]
