La critica etica dell'arte
Sauchelli, Andrea
2013
Abstract
Some works of art manifest (or recommend) dubious and, in some cases, clearly despicable moral perspectives. For example, the propaganda film Triumph of the Will by Leni Riefensthal expresses (and tries to evoke) admiration for Adolf Hitler. Nevertheless, Triumph of the Will is considered a masterpiece of the documentary genre. This and many other similar examples raise the following questions: Is it possible to consider a work of art a masterpiece and, at the same time, an instance of immorality? Does or should the moral assessment of a work of art affect its artistic assessment?
