Expression – reflection

Science studies the objective essence of reality independently of human evaluative attitude towards it; its element is this: to reveal the nature of things and phenomena - their objectively real signs and the connections, dependencies and regularities to which they obey, without being interested in the subjective attitude of man to the reality being studied. Art, on the contrary, reflects the world unconditionally through the ideological-emotional assessment of the artist. Therefore, the problem of expressing the ideological-emotional sphere of the artist and his individual vision of the world is directly related to any artistic creation. Without the manifestation of the artistic attitude towards the object, there is no art; but expression is not yet art at all. For Marxist aesthetics, the latter is an organic unity of knowledge and expression, a reflection of the world in its objective significance and an expression of the subjective evaluative attitude and vision of reality on the part of the creative personality.
