philosophical base

The meanings which pure visual forms (apart form their practical significance) and musical patterns convey are nameless because they are logically uncongenial to the structure of language. They will presumably never have literal handles. So their very life, for our consciousness, is in their artistic embodiments. For the artist, these vital meanings are naturally expressed in his model; in his treatment of the model they are emphasized and clarified. That is the logic of his "style." The effects he creates are those sensuous experiences which are wordless, unanalyzable symbols for the life of feeling.
