Art as Embodied Meaning
Art is described as embodied meaning, where paintings and portraits go beyond just visually capturing a subject, but rather mediate the essence and presence of that subject. American impressionists like Sargent achieve this by making their paintings more than mere images, but rather convey the person being depicted in a profound way. Art serves as a form of communication that goes beyond the visual, embodying deeper levels of meaning that captivate and arrest viewers in a way that photographs cannot.
