Morse saw the role of the artist as an interpreter of culture while Mount saw the American artist primarily as an observer of the American way of life. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Ancient Greek Art
[ send me this paper ]
For many years, the aesthetic interpretation of art was the only accepted interpretation. Then Alex Potts wrote a book on Winckelmann that proposed that art was more than aesthetics, that art included psychological, political and other aspirations. The process became on of finding embodied meanings within art that had otherwise been forgotten. The most shocking of these interpretations by Wincklemann showed that Greek art, once considered to be universalistic in nature, responded to several other measures of great art as posited by the ancient Greeks about ancient Greek Art. Therefore, the concept that is new, should not be new that Ancient Greek art offers a development to include the range of techne, or techniques that contributed to the finely chiseled Greek art with which we are familiar. 5 works cited. jvGreekA.rtf
