  • Tone Kralj in Three possible worlds [Elektronski vir] : defence of the ethical value of art
    Kaiser, Neja
    At the end of the 19th century, the main task of any critic was to ethically evaluate a given work of art, while in the early 20th century, the viewpoint that prevailed stated that ethics and ... aesthetics are autonomous fields with their own values, which means that the evaluation of the aesthetic field should be free of ethics. The quest for the autonomy of art, shortly called aestheticism, can be summed up in Oscar Wilde's thought: "There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book." This can be supported by the "common denominator argument", i. e. the fact that many works of art have nothing to do with ethics. In this paper, we are going to show that even if some works of art have nothing to do with ethics and are therefore not the appropriate subject for ethical criticism, it does not mean that ethical criticism is unsuitable for all artworks. An existing ethical (dis)value of art will be corroborated through a thought experiment. The thought experiment is called "Tone Kralj in Three Possible Worlds". Tone Kralj was a Slovenian painter, printmaker, and sculptor. At the time of Fascism, he affirmed his Slovenian nationality by including covert anti-Fascist allusions in his pictures and paintings of churches, for example on Mengore (1929/1930), Šentviška Gora (1941), and Hrenovice (1941/1942). This is one world, one reality. Besides this one, we are going to imagine two more, where his works of art become slightly different.
