What process has the concept of art design gone through today?

Since the emergence of human beings, the history of form creation has begun. From the beginning of using symbols, the originally turbid world has become a world that can be recognized and distinguished. The original form is used to identify and distinguish, until now. Today, the artistic form in our concept is inseparable from beauty and art, but this view is the result of long-term historical evolution. In the nearly 3000 years from the 6th century BC, form, as a category of historical evolution, showed different meanings at different stages. It is either a natural mathematical concept; Or an invisible abstract paradigm; Or external style; Or internal organizational structure; It is either an external static expression or an internal formation process ... These different definitions of form have further formed ideas, and some have improved into philosophical and aesthetic systems. Especially in the 20th century, every different definition can form a genre, and it is more obvious that "the importance of formal concept lies in that it is not a general concept of aesthetics and literature and art, but a concept related to the essence or ontological significance of beauty and art".

Although we often start our discussion in the pre-Socratic era around the 6th century BC, and from then until19th century, although our understanding of form has been developing and deepening, our research field is mainly limited to the external heteronomy of form. Mainly manifested in two historical forms, one is to emphasize formal production and equate one-sided form with instrumental processing production, mainly before 19 century. /kloc-After the 0/9th century, starting from German classical aesthetics, the philosophy-aesthetics system was really formed, and the concept of form became the cornerstone of the aesthetic system, with complete aesthetic value. Although the understanding at this time has got rid of the significance of making simple things, the existence of formal concept is based on the needs of a philosophical cognitive system and becomes the external expression of cognitive content, which is the second expression of heteronomy. In this period, art forms have subjective aesthetic significance.

In the 20th century, form is not only the external expression of beauty and art, but also beauty and art itself in a sense. What's more, I think that beauty and art are expressions of form, and form itself has become a rule. At the same time, Kant, Hegel, Marxism and Simma theory introduced historical and social perspectives with their broad horizons and integrated the concept of separation. Therefore, we can mainly examine the concept of form from three angles. The objective perspective means the existence of form as heteronomy; The ontological view recognizes the characteristics of formal autonomy; The historical perspective tries to realize the combination of heteronomy and self-discipline through the integration of object and ontology. They correspond to the formal concepts of19th century, 20th century and19th century respectively.
