Abstract
- The article explores art and aesthetic principles concerning iconoclasm, sympathetic magic, and speculative realism. Topics discussed include the beliefs that art objects may represent diving beings such as the sculptural representations of Egyptian rulers, the embodiment of history and human qualities by Confederate public monuments and memorials, the symbolic destruction of the monument of Confederate Army General Nathan Bedford Forrest in Memphis, Tennessee during the 2020 Black Lives Matter protest movements, and the distinction between iconoclasm and vandalism of artworks.
