"Art" and "Craft"——A Dialogue about Nature of Art

Suppose we regard competence of art as a result of revolution,the propositions of human and human as a creation by labor could be understood differently from the previous way and the profound connections between art and craft could be revealed.The establishment of modern system of art has divided art and craft which are originally one,and this practice has offered more free space for the performance of imagination,at the same time made art alienated from reality of life,and therefore provided soil for Kantian aesthetics.It is theoretically important that Kant has defined an autonomous space for feelings and imagination;unfortunately,it is also inclined to produce misunderstandings in two ways:on one hand,it wrongly equals beauty with art;on the other hand,it isolates art from life,both of which prove very effective for veiling our understanding of the nature of both art and culture.Under the situations as such,modern western art has gradually lost its imagination and creativity and led a revolution in art into a swindle.
