Tablet with a picture of Brezhnev (Fedoskino 1981)

For the "function" does not always pay so much money, as for "art". If only it is not Bentley.
While Bentley - is already a kind of art. So as not cool ...
By ouija board - from the usual list of "object is artistic and historical value and is a museum of interest" planchette has two first feature and lost the third. However, in view of certain trends in the market, can get the response - "a collector's interest."

=value. (for me so)
=value investments. (for me even as !!!)

"Every art is quite useless." - Said one of the greatest aesthetes 19 th century.

I declare: functionality in the arts (in a practical, applied sense of the word) is, at worst, an accident, a side effect, at best, a welcome addition. (but why, until I can not articulate) The function of art - to be art. Tautology indeed.

The functionality of art must be understood not in terms of application "utility". Nobody disputes that, fine arts, copyright, antique table to eat probably nicer than Ikea-vskogo, and the stove can heat them if they feel an urge, as well as a picture can cover up stains on the wall or serve as a status symbol. In fact, functions in the art can reveal a lot, and they may be different at different stages - when creating works of art, in the purchase or resale under muzeifikatsii etc. When you create the object's function is the opportunity of expression of the artist. Bespoke portrait for his contemporaries and successors serves as a kind of "documentation" of the life of a man, and again as a luxury item and status. Buying art object can serve as a time investment, a way of making money. The museum of art acquire other or additional functions. It turns out that functions in art is not enough, but it's not what is meant here. The point here, as I see it, is the eldest, the metaphysical function of art.

Here we want to delve into philosophy, consider the perspective of the Aristotelian triad of functional art - an educational function, cognitive function and the function of emotional impact, the theory of catharsis in the process of perception of works of art well, and so on

I would like more now)))
