When is Art?

Style is saying the same thing in two different ways, it is the opposite of a synonym. An example from the book could be between the sample of swatch or the giant cupcake. When an object has more than one meaning it becomes confusing. In the example, which properties are exemplified depends on context. Style is what is exemplified. The difference between style and subject are the way we say things and what we are talking about. What we find is not dependent on what we seek. Expression is a big part of style, but is not limited by feelings. "Art without symbols is restricted to art without subject (58)" and properties that do not symbolize are considered 'pure' art. Symbols are external to the picture. Goodman's purpose is to free style from former constraints.
