Abstract

The article explores the relationship between art and emotion, focusing on the ideas of philosopher R.G. Collingwood. Collingwood distinguishes between "art proper," which involves a deep exploration of inchoate emotions through the creative process, and "entertainment art," which is designed to evoke specific feelings without fostering deeper emotional understanding. He argues that true art enhances emotional literacy and self-awareness, while entertainment art may lead to a superficial engagement with emotions. Collingwood's perspective emphasizes the importance of the artist's journey in clarifying and expressing emotions, contrasting it with the more formulaic approach of entertainment art.
