Abstract

Abstract:This essay examines an oil painting by Georgia O'Keeffe, Ritz Tower (1928), applying the terms of William James's pragmatic conception of truth and the ideas that play a part in it, for example, pluralism and spiritualism, along with assistance from Martin Heidegger's notion of Wohnung (dwelling). This is not only a fruitful way to look at her painting but paintings in the same or similar genre. Aesthetic judgments made about Ritz Tower are true if they work (in the pragmatic sense) for those who make said judgments if they find them successful in fitting in with other ideas and beliefs in their aesthetic experience of the painting or other artworks.

视觉艺术与实用主义真理:掌舵的乔治亚·奥基夫

摘要：本文考察了乔治亚·奥基夫（Georgia O’Keeffe）的一幅油画，里兹塔（Ritz Tower）（1928），运用了威廉·詹姆斯（William James）的实用主义真理观以及其中的多元主义和唯心主义等思想，并辅之以马丁·海德格尔（Martin Heidegger）的沃农（Wohnung）（住宅）概念。这不仅是一种富有成效的方式来看待她的绘画，也是一种相同或相似风格的绘画。如果丽兹大厦的审美判断（在实用意义上）适用于那些做出上述判断的人，如果他们发现这些判断成功地融入了绘画或其他艺术品的审美体验中的其他想法和信仰，那么对丽兹大厦做出的审美判断是正确的。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Aesthetic Education (JAE) is a highly respected interdisciplinary journal that focuses on clarifying the issues of aesthetic education understood in its most extensive meaning. The journal thus welcomes articles on philosophical aesthetics and education, to problem areas in education critical to arts and humanities at all institutional levels; to an understanding of the aesthetic import of the new communications media and environmental aesthetics; and to an understanding of the aesthetic character of humanistic disciplines. The journal is a valuable resource not only to educators, but also to philosophers, art critics and art historians.
