no footnotes date April 2012 POV date March 2012 Aesthetic relativism is the philosophical view that the judgement of beauty is relativism relative to different individuals and or cultures and that there are no universal criteria of beauty. For example, in historical terms, the female form as depicted in the Venus of Willendorf and the women in the paintings of Rubens would today be regarded as over weight, while the slim models on the covers of contemporary fashion magazines would no doubt be regarded in a negative light by our predecessors. In contemporary cross cultural terms, body modification among primitive peoples is sometimes regarded as grotesque by Western society. Aesthetic relativism might be regarded as a sub set of an overall philosophical relativism , which denies any absolute standards of truth or morality as well as of aesthetic judgement. A frequently cited source for philosophical relativism in postmodern theory is a fragment by Nietzsche , entitled On Truth and Lie in an Extra Moral Sense.

These norms have varied over time and what is considered beautiful in one era may not necessarily be so in another. Canons of beauty follow the evolution of fashion and are dependent on the evolution of physical decoration techniques such as hairdressing or make up . Under France s Ancien R gime , canons of beauty required a woman to have as white a skin as possible. This was achieved sometimes to the danger of health by rouge cosmetics rouge and face powder s as well as mouches , fake moles made of black muslin glued onto the face or chest.

The term snapshot aesthetic refers to a trend within fine art photography in the USA from around 1963 Fact date June 2007 . The style typically features apparently banal everyday subject matter and off centered framing. Subject matter is often presented without apparent link from image to image and relying instead on juxtaposition and disjunction between individual photographs. This tendency was promoted by John Szarkowski , who was head of the photography department at the Museum of Modern Art from 1962 to 1991, and it became especially fashionable from the late 1970s until the mid 1980s Fact date June 2007 . Notable practitioners include Garry Winogrand , Nan Goldin , Wolfgang Tillmans , Martin Parr , William Eggleston , and Terry Richardson . In contrast with photographers like W. Eugene Smith and Gordon Parks, these photographers aimed not to reform life but to know it. John Szarkowski, Diane Arbus Szarkowski brought to prominence the work of Diane Arbus , Lee Friedlander and Garry Winogrand in his influential exhibition New Documents at the Museum of Modern Art in 1967, in which he identified a new trend in photography pictures that seemed to have a casual, snapshot like look and had subject matter that seemed strikingly ordinary. In recent years young contemporary photographers, such as Hiromix , Ryan McGinley , Miko Lim , and Arnis Balcus have gained international recognition thanks to the snapshot aesthetic. From the early nineties the style became the predominant mode in fashion photography, especially within youth fashion magazines such as The Face magazine The Face photography from this era is often associated with the so called heroin chic look a look often seen as having been influenced particularly by Nan Goldin The term arose from the fascination of artists with the classic black & white vernacular photography vernacular snapshot, the characteristics of which ... and the places that they lived and visited.

Expand further date March 2012 About Artistic interpretation other types of interpretation Interpretation disambiguation Interpretation An interpretation in philosophy of art , is an explanation of the meaning of some work of art . An interpretation expresses an understanding of a work of art, a poem, performance, or piece of literature. Aims of interpretation One or many There are many different theories of interpretation. On the one hand, there are an infinite number of interpretations for any given piece of art, any one of which may be considered valid. Citation needed date May 2009 However, it may also be claimed that there really is only one valid interpretation for any given piece of art. The aesthetic theory that people approach art with different aims is called pluralism. People s interpretations of art may be evaluated relative to these aims. The aim of some of these interpretations is such that they may be said to be true or false and the aim of others do not lend themselves to designating truth or falsity to art. Intended interpretation Among those theories which permit for interpretations being named as valid or invalid, are ones which attempt to identify what the artist is trying to accomplish and interpret the art in terms of whether or not the artist has succeeded. In this view there is a single correct interpretation consistent with the artists intention for any given art work.
