The arts of the beautiful Book

Here Gilson, the noted French philosopher and historian laid down his thoughts about arts in 8 essays. I just read the first chapter, here I summarize it in 3 points:

1] Art is not a kind of knowledge, but it falls in the area called making. We confuse teaching art with teaching art appreciation. in the order of the fine arts, knowing is making, hence what is not directly relevant to the making of a work is ABOUT art, NOT art itself. I believe this insight also applies to sociology of law & "pure" law.

2] There are 2 kinds of beauty: Industrial & Fine Arts. Industrial art is like the beauty of for example jet turbine, car engines etc, they have their own beauty but it's different than beauty characterized by Fine Arts.

3] Art doesnt neccesarily have anything to do with truth, truth is a
concept nearer to the realm of being than beauty.

Hmm that s just chapter 1, still 7 chapters to go...I think it's going to be hard going but I don't know...
