The Aesthetics of Enchantment in the Fine Arts
Let us revive the true sense of fine arts: enchantment! In the conceptualised, commercialised, artificial approach to fine arts, we forgot its authentic experiential sense. It lies at the imaginative heart of all arts there to be retrieved by the creative recipient as the very 'truth of it all'.
Prompted by the challenges of changing technologies and the conceptualization of art, this book revives enchantment as the very sense of art. The aesthetic enchantment lifts human experience toward the extraordinary whose crucibles it conjures. Thus the creative human being finds within the imaginal sphere of his or her own soul an answer to innermost longings as the "truth of it all" (Tymieniecka). This collection offers a panorama of perspectives in which enchantment surges, including music, painting, ancient mysteries, French baroque festivities and the mystical Mexican procession.
