Question 1: "Abstract art is no longer tested by the faithfulness by which it transcribes appearances; it is now to be tested by its transparency to a different model. Visual reality no longer has a privileged status with relation to the work of art, no longer forms the test which the art is to illustrate. Now it is logic that constitutes the 'text'; and the space onto which the art is now open, the model it is to 'picture' and by which it is to be tested is Mind" (251). Art is interpreted and tested in many ways and now we bring in something more than just the visual quality of the piece. I wonder how we know if an art tests the Mind enough, how we know the quality of the piece?
Question 2: If we could go over the purpose of the stones and grey coat story in class, that would really be appreciated. I was a bit confused with this.
