Four Elements in Artistic Situation


M. H. Abrams came up with these four Elements in the artistic situation and we have applied Wallace Steven's "The Idea of Order at Key West" to each level.



  1. World (universe) - mimetic - ancient - SEA

  2. Audience (reader) - pragmatic - neoclassical, renaissance - LISTENERS TO THE SONG

  3. Work (text) - objective - modern - SONG

  4. Artist (Creator) - expressive - romantic - SINGER
