An Interview with Susan Buck-Morrs: Aesthetics after the End of Art

Susan Buck-Morrs, a instructor at Cornell University and she insists that art is not turning into extinct. Apparently, technology has brought a blur between the line that divides the splendor attributed to art and other cultural products. However, museums have finished an immensely good job in preserving the thinking and the idea behind art. The thing of beauty returning to art is political in nature thinking about that aestheticism is not limited to art. Politically, the definition of artwork as having political attribution is impacted by senses, race, and aesthetic value. Beauty is important due to the fact it is a mental experience.
All cultural meanings are sensed by the body and this is where the aspect of beauty emanates. Art is also a social object as portrayed through the works of numerous artists such as Robert Mapplethorpe and Jernigan. As a result, it becomes difficult to separate the way people view art, pornography, and advertisement. Newness is brought about by modernity and technology, and this allows people to view art as a social object. Through the years, modernity has made it impossible to differentiate between social knowhow and self-knowledge. All cognitive knowledge has the characteristic of being sensory and having an aesthetic component. Power is attributed to art depending on the mental image it creates in an individual. Personal perception has a major role to play in the way one distinguishes beauty in art. This I the point where one realizes the meaning of aesthetics after art. There must be a lot of reflection and cognitive analysis for one to understand the meaning of aesthetics after art. Artists should develop art with the intention of self-reflectiveness and cognition.
