Welcome to the new SASBRK.

Artists have an immutable power to create a corporeal reality in their work. By altering form and content the artist is allowed to create unique situations that drive an emotive force.

Representational art may be either symbolic or iconic. The content of a symbolic representation is a proposition about the object to which it refers. The content of an iconic representation is a resemblance to an object. The relation of the form of a symbolic representation to its content depends on arbitrary convention; that of an iconic representation is based on physical similarity.
Nonrepresentational art has a perceptible physical form, but no content.

What makes representational or nonrepresentational fabrication art is their emotional value. Not only iconic form elicits sentiment. Nonrepresentational art does so directly; representational art does so in virtue of metaphoric juxtapositions of content on content, form on form, or form on content, each of which reveals a further form that has aesthetic value. It follows from this theory that cognitive, or content, factors are secondary or incidental in aesthetic experience and that all works of art are intentionally underdetermined. This would be seen in a viewer's reaction to abstract art lacking iconography.

In contrast, an image expresses something iconically, which means it does so in virtue of its form, its shape, rather than by subjective standard. This may be either because of physical resemblance or because of a natural association or correlation in space or time.
