Abstract (en)

Essays reconsidering the aesthetic approach to art and beauty that for more than 200 years has helped shape both the theory and practice of art. The first lecture attempts an interpretation of the substitution of the aesthetic for the sacred. The second considers the disintegration of the architectural whole into functional and aesthetic components, linking this to that disintegration of life which to Nietzsche meant decadence. The third offers an interpretation of J.E. Nilson's ca.1770 engraving Der liebe Morgen (Lovely Morning) which is here said to occupy the threshold between Rococo and modern art.
