Art: according to the traditional conception, art is a social sphere that is not directly focused on the maintenance of life functions. For this reason it opens up a certain freedom and possibility of knowledge. In the modern age, the idea of the evading of art has evolved in the face of a widespread through-organization of more and more areas of life. This development can lead to an ever-barred understanding ("hermetics"). See also aesthetics, works of art, critique, society, history, enlightenment, recognition._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Th.W. Adorno on Art - Dictionary of Arguments
Grenz I 49 Art/Adorno: "Art is infinitely difficult, too, in the fact that it must transcend its concept [...] but that it adapts itself to the reification in which it is similar to realities, against which it protests ... (Ästhetische Theorie, p. 159). Art/Sense/Adorno: The abandonment of art to the category of meaning drives it into the arms of positivism (it is still a synonym for assimilated consciousness). (Ästhetische Theorie(1), p. 231). >Abstract Art, >Sense. Grenz I 104 Art/HabermasVsAdorno: Adorno's theory of the autonomy of art, which he sees represented in hermetic art, is a 'defensive' theory.(2) Grenz I 108 Abstract/art/Adorno/Grenz: the abstractness of the reference of the works of art to the psychological nominalism, existing before them, on which Adorno insists, are the consequences of the theorem of the ahistorical-ness of the ideological superstructure. >History/Adorno. Grenz I 186 Art/Adorno/Grenz: Adorno separates between the social content of the works of art and their monolithically-viewd suchness. >Truth/Adorno, >Truth content/Adorno. AdornoVs aesthetics of experience: Adorno adheres to the objectification character of the works of art. I 187 Either a work of art is communicative, but then it is at the same time, 'crude propaganda', or it is true as a critique of the communication system. But then it is socially ineffective. >Communication media. I 188 Art/Adorno: art is a practice as "formation of consciousness" (Ästhetische Theorie(1), p. 361). >Consciousness. 1. Th. W. Adorno.
