Abstract

DOMINGUEZ-HERNANDEZ, Javier. Modern art and artist in Hegel. Estud.filos [online]. 2024, n.69, pp.137-158.  Epub June 05, 2024. ISSN 0121-3628.  https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.ef.353398.

Hegel’s assertion that, for us moderns, art is a matter of the past has obscured his genuine interest in the art of his time and modern art in general. This article attempts to correct this situation. First, it contextualizes the claim in its historical and conceptual aspects; second, it returns to Hegel’s approaches to modern art, neglected hitherto by interpreters. This revision implies clarifying what for Hegel is the modern, whose concept comes from the freedom and autonomy of thought, and does not conform to what, in developments of Aesthetics, after Hegel, represent tendencies and prescriptions such as the avant-garde or turns such as aesthetic modernity and postmodernity. Modern art is the product of an artist who freely disposes of the means and content of art since he places himself above them.

Keywords : Hegel; art; ancient artist; modern artist; aesthetic modernity.
