• W253866495 abstract "I What is most important relationship between art and rest of culture? Before addressing this question a few preliminary remarks are necessary. term 'culture' is often used to refer to arts. But in ethnographic sense word has a much wider meaning: refers to what someone has called all learned behaviour'. In this wider sense art is a part of culture. question then arises as to nature of relationship between art and rest of culture. This relationship is clearly varied and complex, and is probably claiming a lot to say that there is one aspect of this relationship which is most important of all. Yet this is claim made by Susanne Langer American philosopher She defines art as the practice of creating perceptible forms expressive of human (Langer 1971, p.87). By feeling' she means whole gamut of our feelings and emotions which she sees as a realm beyond reach of discursive language. In her view art is expressive not in sense that is a symptom of feelings; is, rather, a way of formulating or symbolizing feeling in such a way that can be conceptualized by spectator. According to her, The primary function of art is to objectify feeling so we can contemplate and understand it (Langer 1971 p.91). By presenting these forms of feeling to our imagination, she argues, our emotive experience (Langer 1971, p.93).This is their crucial cultural importance. New art creates new feelings and with them new cultural consequences. Thus, for her, art is not frill so many people think is. It is, rather, like spearhead of human development, social and individual (Langer 1971, p.86). As evidence for her claim she points to Egypt, Greece and Christian Europe where periods of efflorescence in arts led to periods of cultural advance (Langer 1971, p.93). According to her a new way of feeling is beginning of a new cultural age, and is that form these new ways of feeling. In this essay I wish to undertake some Langerian interpretations of some of Edna Manley's works. parallels between Langer's historical examples and apparent relationship between flourishing of and rise of nationalist movement in Jamaica earlier in this century are striking; Edna Manley was a pioneer of this artistic movement, and, as wife of Norman Manley, a national hero of Jamaica, was also close to social, and political developments. I wish to pursue question of whether or not Langer's ideas can be successfully applied to some of works by Edna Manley. I shall concentrate on ten works. In each case I shall offer a description of work as well as its expressiveness and cultural importance in Langerian sense. This will be followed by a brief discussion of Langer's theory. (1) Aroused. (1935). David Boxer calls undoubtedly her most influential and most famous sculpture (Boxer 1990, p.24). A replica of is a monument in Kingston and has appeared on logos, posters, book jackets and postage stamps. It was a prophetic work. Three years after its completion island was plunged into a series of riots which protested against exploitation of black working class. These riots led to establishment of main political parties, trade unions, and eventually self-government Sculpture shows torso of a Negro with head thrown back as he stares expectantly into open space above him. figure is not realistic in conventional sense, but is a type of stylized realism. edges are firm and strong. Lines, shapes and negative spaces are combined with an economic austerity which helps to create sense of power which emanates from work. palms resting firmly on base help to give force to upward thrust of hand. arms are massive and full of strength. But power which portrays is just being awakened. …" @default.
