Rethinking the Question of Quality in Art.

Ewens, Thomas

Arts Education Policy Review, v96 n2 p2-15 Nov-Dec 1994

Discusses the concept of quality in art from the standpoint of the theory of mediation. Traces the idea of quality from Aristotelian criticism to Gagnepain's theory of mediation. Concludes that mediation aesthetics seek inspiration and quality only from the art work, not its contemporary meaning. (CFR)
