PSYCHOLOGY OF ART

Art as Finding Oneself

The paper reports outcomes of a theoretical reflection of art as a world of experience within a phenomenological approach framework. The paper alleges that by means of art it is possible to comprehend the Other and to recognize oneself within various social contexts. The paper demonstrates that by means of communicative practices art unfolds essential facets of the Other, expands meaningful horizons of a subjects reflexive experience field, and constructs a new model of a personal identity.
