Expressive Theory

Expressive Theory, within the context of Aesthetic Subjectivism, posits that art is a means of expressing the emotions and thoughts of the artist. Rather than seeking an objective standard of beauty, it emphasizes that our appreciation of art is shaped by personal feelings and experiences. Each individual's response to a piece of art reflects their own subjective interpretation, influenced by cultural background and personal context. This theory suggests that the value of art lies in its ability to convey emotional truth, inviting viewers to connect with the artist's intentions and their own feelings.
