be appreciated and which are relevant and properties which can be appreciated and are not relevant. One can "aesthetically perceive" both relevant and nonrelevant properties of works of art.
The solution to the problem of aesthetic relevance is not a general one of the sort sought by these philosophers; the solution, I believe, will have to be a piecemeal affair, and the determination of the aesthetic-object properties of a particular work of art will have to derive from knowledge of the art form within which the particular work falls. The conventions used in presenting works of art give guidance of limited generality. For example, the fact that the stagehands in traditional Western theater are hidden backstage and the Chinese property man of classical Chinese theater is dressed unobtrusively in black are clues which guide us to exclude them as aesthetically irrelevant. But such guidance is of limited generality; nothing prevented or prevents, for example, a clever playwright of classical Chinese theater from writing a play in which the property man in some way becomes part of the performance of the play. Similarly. with regard to the color of the back of a painting, nothing prevents a painter from creating a work of visual art similar to a painting but which is painted on both sides of a piece of canvas. If Picasso can depict an object from two different perspectives on one side of a canvas, another artist could depict an object from one perspective on one side of a 'canvas and from another perspective on the other side of the canvas. Such two-sided paintings would require a new way of presenting, similar perhaps to that of sculptures which are to be viewed from more than one place.
As long as one is faced with traditional kinds of art, one can rely on the established conventions for guidance. When innovation occurs, one will be to a certain extent on one's own to figure out what is going on, although since the innovation will occur within some traditional form or other, there will be some minimum of guidance.
