I will be sure to do some more expansive posts on these theorists but for now these are a few notes i have collected so far...
Aura of an image - Walter Benjamin
https://ceasefiremagazine.co.uk/walter-benjamin-art-aura-authenticity/ - with a couple of 'edits'
' Historically works of art had an 'aura' - An appearance of magical or supernatural force arising from their uniqueness (similar to mana) - (in Polynesian, Melanesian, and Maori belief) an impersonal supernatural power which can be transmitted or inherited.
The aura includes a sensory experience of distance between the reader and the work of art'
Wassily Kandinsky
https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2006/jun/24/art.art - The Painter of sound & vision
He believed...
'Shades resonated with each other to produce 'Visual chords' and had an influence on the soul'.
Theorist - Walter Pater
Walter Pater on the Place of 'music among arts'
The Journal of aesthetics & art criticism -

Walter Pater said:
' All art constantly aspires to the condition of music' - look into what he means by this!
Thats it for now. Like i said at the start i will hopefully be looking more in depth into these guys and their theories so there will be a lot more to go on than just this obviously. Just using them as starting points for now...
