 Bosanquet’s discussion of aesthetic appreciation in the Three Lectures also addressed such questions as the forms of aesthetic satisfaction and the different “kinds” of beauty—beauty being understood as more than what is aesthetically pleasing. It is here that most of the critical attention to his work (e.g., by John Dewey 1893) has been focussed. Bosanquet argues that while beauty is sometimes “easy”—accessible to and recognisable by all—the excellence of certain beautiful items may be evident only to those possessing “aesthetic insight”. Because of the “intricacy” or complexity of the components of a work of art, some might consider an aesthetically excellent object to be an ugly one. This, Bosanquet writes, is a mistake. Ugliness is, Bosanquet argues, strictly speaking a failure in expression. Ugliness in art must not be confused with “difficult art”—i.e., art that is beautiful, though many may fail to appreciate it. (For a recent discussion of ‘difficulty’ in art, see Perricone 2018.)
