ABSTRACT
Written in the 1980s and never published, the following chapter on visual art is remarkable for its prescience in regard to thinking about art and the aesthetic experience. In down-to-earth language, Noshpitz tellingly emphasizes that (1) motion, rooted in rhythm, is a biologic basis of all works of art whatever the medium; (2) the various schools of art require forms to express and contain feelings; and (3) all aesthetic expression requires a coherent sense of self within one’s body musculature to experience affect and agency.
