Abstract

Abstract

In art in general, the ‘objective’ concerns the aesthetic realists’ view of the status of aesthetic properties. In Christian art, the ‘objective’ concerns the question of whether the work is open to the religious transcendent. The observers involved can thus attune their religious practice to the religious work in question and be open to the religious transcendent. With regard to art in general, the aesthetic judgment about beauty is not about subjective or objective but about a reciprocal relationship between the viewer and the art object. Aesthetic judgments are normative in the sense that they can be argued. This also applies to the aesthetic judgment of the beautiful within the context of Christian art. The difference lies in the moment of interpretation, which differs between the secular and Christian context.
