The Aesthetic Connotation Of Merleau-Ponty's Concept Of Horizon

Horizon is a necessary condition for forming aesthetic experience.On the one hand,body perception is the basis for the formation of horizon,and horizon can only be established by relying on the body.On the other hand,works of art can express meaning only through horizon,and horizon is also the field of self-expression of works of art.The body?horizon and the art world are intertwined together.The aesthetic connotation of horizon is mainly manifested in three aspects: body perception,meaning expression of art works,and ontology.First of all,the body is the basis for the formation of horizon.Horizon is a spatial form formed on the basis of the body that makes perception possible.Aesthetic perception can only occur in the horizon formed by the body.Secondly,the depth of a work of art means the existence of a field of vision.The depth of meaning of a artwork is not ready-made,but occurs in the process of gathering everything that is invisible to support the visible.Depth as the meaning expression of art works is mainly reflected in its time and space dimensions.Finally,the horizon theory shows the original unification of physical experience with works of art,people and the world.In addition to aesthetic experience,all human existence experience is actually a manifestation of the subject's intertwined horizon.
