I know, I’m half-memeing. You could probably say the impressionists were the last high artists expressing the absolute, as the A-tonalist Schoenberg shit is basically anti-absolute, or anti-logos

I think Hegel said the Greeks fully expressed themselves through their art, and the Romantic Christian idea is too abstract and complex to every fully express through art.

No so far hegel is the best one I’ve found. Most theories on aesthetics are sickeningly idiotic, I’d like to see Schopenhauer’s aesthetics next, maybe some of Catholic writers too

>paradise lost
>the illiad
>the odyssey

Which of the classics should actually be read? Many of the “classics” are just unbearable memes
