    1. confusion between painting and sculpture. (Sculpture, on its side, emphasizes the resistance of its material to the efforts of the artist to ply it into shapes uncharacteristic of stone, metal, wood, etc.)

      Artists are starting to highlight the medium itself through the use of colors, lines, brushstrokes, etc.

    2. medium that each art is unique and strictly itself.

      Each art form is uniquely special because of its differences in mediums. For people to gain a better respect for art, the medium must be displayed and understood. It should show the challenges and difficulties that come along with creating that form.

    3. express ideas and notions, but to express with greater immediacy sensations, the irreducible elements of experience.

      Wanted to express feelings and emotions, and experiences not just ideals.

    4. Not only could painting imitate sculpture, and sculpture, painting, but both could attempt to reproduce the effects of literature.

      I thought that this meant that people don't often value and respect art enough because they think more about the subject matter rather than the medium of work. For example, if you were to see a painting of a Greek God, you'd be more likely to focus on that person rather than the materials that the artist used.

    5. confusion.

      I think that this means that people are getting confused and cannot accurately say what is surrealism as opposed to abstract art is because of the various styles the artists use. To be more accurate we should look at the historical background o of an art piece and decipher what the artist was trying to convey or understand.

    6. esthetics: is the existence of limits serving to distinguish between the various arts also a condition of the possibility of value within them?

      Question of aesthetics, what is the value and importance in them?
