Abstract

Luis Juan Guerrero’s (1899-1957) treatment of the notion of catharsis in the first volume of Estética operatoria en sus tres direcciones (1956) is much more significant for his aesthetic theory than it appears. Starting from a critique of the traditional theories of contemplation and an analysis of the subjective influence of artworks, it gives us an alternative theoretical framework for understanding this notion.
