Arnold Hauser Frasi e Citazioni

“La storia sociale dell'arte afferma semplicemente – e questo è tutto ciò che essa può confermare – che le forme artistiche non sono soltanto forme di esperienza condizionate otticamente o acusticamente, ma sono in pari tempo le forme di espressione di una concezione del mondo socialmente condizionata.”

“Le obiezioni contro la storia sociale dell'arte derivano principalmente dal fatto che le si attribuiscono intenzioni che essa non può né vuole perseguire. In particolare essa non cerca mai, neppure nelle sue forme più rozze, di presentare l'arte come un'espressione omogenea, comprensiva e diretta di una determinata società. L'arte di un'epoca storicamente più o meno evoluta non può essere socialmente omogenea se non altro perché la stessa società di una simile epoca non è omogenea; essa non può mai essere più che l'espressione di un ceto, di un gruppo, di una comunità d'interessi, e presenterà tante tendenze stilistiche contemporanee quanti sono i ceti della società che producono cultura.”

Arnold Hauser: Frasi in inglese

“The stereotyped style of cultic representations was well known as early as the Neolithic age, but the stiffly ceremonial forms of courtly art are absolutely new and come into prominence here for the first time in the history of human culture. They reflect the rule of a higher, superindividual social order, of a world which owes its greatness and splendour to the favour of the king. They are anti-individualistic, static and conventional… All the good things and the charms of life are connected, for the privileged members of this society, with their separation from the other classes, and all the maxims which they follow assume more or less the character of rules of decorum and etiquette. This decorum and etiquette, the whole self-stylization of the upper class, demand among other things that one does not allow oneself to be portrayed as one really is, but according to how one must appear to conform with certain hallowed conventions, remote from reality and the present time. Etiquette is the highest law not merely for the ordinary mortal, but also for the king, and in the imagination of this society even the gods accept the forms of courtly ceremonial.”

“The contrast between Tolstoy’s discretion and Dostoevsky’s exhibitionism, between the restraint of the one and the ‘dancing about naked in public’ of the other—as someone says in The Possessed—is attributable to the same social gap as separated Voltaire from Rousseau.”

“The extraordinary significance that music holds for Delacroix, and which contributes most to his admiration for Chopin, is a symptom of the new hierarchy of the arts and the prominent position which music occupies in it. It is the romantic art par excellence and Chopin the most romantic of all the romantics. In his relation to Chopin, Delacroix’s intimate connection with romanticism is brought most clearly to light.”

Origine: The Social History of Art, Volume III. Rococo, Classicism and Romanticism, 1999, Chapter 6. German and Western Romanticism

“If the resistances in one direction are impossible to overcome, then the artist’s invention and powers of expression turn to a goal the way to which is not obstructed, and it is very unusual for him even to be aware of the fact that his achievement is a substitute for the real thing. Even in the most liberal democracy the artist does not move with perfect freedom and unrestraint; even there he is restricted by innumerable considerations foreign to his art. The different measure of freedom may be of the greatest importance for him personally but in principle there is no difference between the dictates of a despot and the conventions of even the most liberal social order. If force in itself were contrary to the spirit of art, perfect works of art could arise only in a state of complete anarchy. But in reality the presuppositions on which the aesthetic quality of a work depends lie beyond the alternative presented by political freedom and compulsion.”
