Complexity to simplicity, my personal way to understand
Theories of beauty and aesthetics are a most arguable, debatable and disputable as well as enduring, endless, and limitless subject related to nature of art. It takes their own time to understand.
Shaftlesbury (शाफ्ट्स्ब्री) Hutchen (हचसन) David Hume(डेव्हिड हयुम) Burke(बुर्क) Immanuel Kant(इम्मॅनुअल क्खन्ट) Schiller(शिलर) Helgel(हॅगोल) Aurther Schopenhauner(आर्थुवा शोपेनहवॉ) Eduard Hanslick (एडुअर्ड हॅन्स्लीक) George Santayana (जॉर्ज सॅन्टीयाना)
Interpreted their views and thoughts on philosophical concepts, idealistic concept, classical concept, Hedonist concept and discussed in the Form of debate, argument. It is hard to understand and time killing subject to grasp their intended meaning for me.
My simple way to understand the concerning features of beauty, how it radiates and the essence of aesthetic values and judgement (a part of axiology) pleasing to the senses in view to appreciate, measure and understand the qualities of a product as follow.
While evaluate the values of painting, BEAUTY at first relates to aesthetic and describes its relevant association with productive values of appreciation and then aesthetic reveals the insightful, distinctive and appreciative abilities in a work of art.
"Values" have a high regard for merits of appreciation, admiration and sensitive in order to achieve a result. Acknowledge pleasure, attraction, and harmony and cherish to influencing attitudes and behaviour. Value is a measure worth includes concepts like efforts, attempts, perseverance, accurate, consistent and precise performance in a work of art. "Beauty" is a combination of qualities that delights the senses. Beauty contributes to perfection. Perfection is beauty, and beauty is art.
"Perception" is an intellectual process of transforming information through the senses and interprets to see in our mind to judge its pleasing look, feeling of appearance, visually acceptable for admiration and insightful understanding of a work of art. "Aesthetics" is an appreciation of beauty, having a pleasant and pleasing appearance, characteristically descriptive and expressive with the properties of work of art.
