Opposed to finding TRUTH in <a href="http://beesikk.nl/PhilosophyTruthFinding.htm"> SCIENCE </a>, which is a general problem (universal rational path) that can largely be defined independent of the context, TRUTH finding in ART is a personalized problem (private emotional path) that is dominated by the context. The context in ART has two main modes of operation, <b> Idealization </b> and <b> Essentialization</b>. In the ART approach we could start with literature in which case one has to read a large set of books and starting points are difficult to give. Literature, like cinematography, is operating in the domain of story telling, taking lots of time. Also story telling has no direct impact on reality while art can have a direct impact in domains like architecture, fashion, etc. or in the design of objects like airoplanes, cars, chairs, plates etc., where it sometimes degrades to decoration. A fast approach can be taken by studying pictures, "a picture is worth a thousand words" and can be interpreted fast, so here we go with a <a href="http://beesikk.nl/PhilosophyTruthFindingInArtNLBEDE.htm"> Dutch/Belgian/German </a> (NL, BE, DE) biased view on Reality, Idealization and Essentialization representing the slow change from mimesian to non-mimesian art: <br>
