This artwork has a right to determinate existence only in so far as it exists for the human mind. It does not exist for itself independently. This artwork is a shadow, and together with other artworks, composes a shadow-world, mere schemata, that secures, for us, satisfaction for higher and more spiritual interests. It summons an echo and response in the human spirit. The sensuous is spiritualised in art, or in other words, the life of 'spirit' comes to dwell in it under a sensuous guise. This artwork originates from a productive activity of mind and has undergone a passage through 'mind'. This content is only able to come to knowledge, to us, under this sensuous garb. (from Hegel's philosophy of fine art)
