 There is an entrenched historical connection between imagination and the arts. David Hume and Immanuel Kant both invoke imagination centrally in their exploration of aesthetic phenomena (albeit in radically different ways; see entries on  Hume’s aesthetics  and  Kant’s aesthetics).  R.G. Collingwood (1938) defines art as the imaginative expression of feeling (Wiltsher 2018; see entry on  Collingwood’s aesthetics).  Roger Scruton (1974) develops a Wittgensteinian account of imagination and accords it a central role in aesthetic experience and aesthetic judgment.
