Eстетиката - приближаване или отдалечаване от изкуството?

The new avant-garde art of the mid-nineteenth century and beyond firmly rejected the old normative aesthetics as inadequate. It effectively addressed the theoretical gap by introducing manifestos and other public creative programs. Suddenly the obsolete aesthetics fell into a deep crisis and was forced to seek - through various new paradigms - a close, immediate contact with avant-garde artistic achievements. On this path of theoretical renewal, it has been moving faster or slower ever since. Aesthetics cannot exist outside the world of art. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
