| description | Emotions have a decisive place in the humanist theory of arts that reigns in Europe between the 16th and 18th centuries. They are not only objects of representation (we have to recall that the « expression » of passions is a part of painting, just like drawing, composition or colours), but also its purpose : movere constitutes, with docere and placere the triple goal of the painter and of the poet. Yet, during a particular period of the western history of arts, starting in the 2nd half of the 19th century and ending a century later, the link between arts and emotion was interrupted. Modernist esthetics refused the idea that arts should represent the emotions, provoke them, or that they provide models of passional behaviour. In the same time, a new philosophem triumphed : that of a specifically esthetic emotion. This article, dedicated to the case of painting, exposes the passage from classical and romantic pathetic to the modernist esthetic emotion, by studying its reasons and causes. |
