Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to question the necessary and sufficient conditions of signification of an artwork, according to the contemporary philosopher Xavier Rubert de Ventós (1939-2023). Besides the code of communication, the criteria of creativity, innovation and sensibility are preponderant in this search for an objective definition. For this philosopher, is it sufficient or necessary to explain the artwork according to objective norms? Or is it just the transcendence of these rules that characterizes the aesthetic experience? Rubert de Ventós proposes a phenomenological model in which the main answer lies in intersubjectivity.
