| + | in language, we can distinguish between the __content__ of a sentence and its __form__ -- e.g. | ||
| + | * "John loves Mary", | ||
| + | * "Mary is loved by John": same content, different form, | ||
| + | * "John hates Mary": same form, different content; | ||
| + | this distinction can also be applied in the case of works of art, although it may not always be obvious what the content or the form are. | ||
| + | |||
| + | art that has a clear content is called __representational__, other art, which appears not to be //about// anything, is called __abstract__. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ^ art form ^ content ^ form ^ | ||
| + | | literature | story, plot, setting | division into acts or chapters, rhyme and metre, vocabulary | | ||
| + | | music | lyrics, but also (the form of) emotions (Susanne K. Langer) | structure, e.g. verses, instrumentation, dynamics and speed | | ||
