ABSTRACT: This paper evaluates how Western culture views art. The objective is to formulate some concepts regarding Osborne’s scheme based on his aesthetics and art theory readings. In order to make it explicitly clear that art is undoubtedly capable of expressing unique emotional, psychological, and cultural interpretations, the inquiry first aims to illustrate succinct and suggestive details by examining the pragmatic, naturalistic, and formalistic approaches. Second, it seeks to explain how Osborne’s theory reads regarding the implications of spiritual communication, logical reflection, and sensual expression to show that approaches to art and the purpose of art are mutually inclusive. The inquiry expands by experimenting with how Plato, Freud, and Bergson understand their theories connected to Osborne’s theory. The analysis ultimately concludes that both of their theories exhibit the same attitudes. Finally, reevaluating Osborne’s scheme in the context of several philosophical stances validates a notion and gives it a fresh interpretation that reflects human interference in art.
