Sublime, Kinetic art, Art of movementAbstract
The purpose of this article is to examine the points of contact between kinetic art and the poetics of the sublime while exploring dialogues with other aesthetic categories and relationships with artistic manifestations in which the sublime is clearly treated. For the development of the ideas, we used as references the analyses of Julian Bell, Barnett Newman, and Robert Rosenblum. In regard to the art of movement, the starting point was the critical-historical revision of Frank Popper, with an emphasis in his work on the aesthetics of the sublime. At least three approaches to the problem were identified: the relationships with nature, the immersion in light and color, and the spirit of sacredness present in moments of creation and revelation.
