Abstract

Which concept of ‘picture’ arises from the semantic evolution of the main aesthetic principles that have marked Western thought? Such is the key question that enlightens the analytic core of this paper. To theoretically sustain an answer to this question, it is here introduced the seminal distinction between ‘objects of perception and objects for perception’, allowing us to analyze and understand how artistic pictorial forms expose and transpose aesthetic regimes.
