The problem investigated in this paper is that of the value of art in terms of its autonomy. The value of art does not reside in the imitation of life nor does it consist in its representational function. This idea is as old as Plato. Art’s autonomy wherein we locate its value, is actually the autonomy of the artist. The artist is not merely free to choose his subject matter, he is also free to bring about the contrasts and the syntheses among the diverse constituents of the work in a particular medium. Artist’s function in this regard is one of problem-solving. To the aesthetic mind problem solving suggests finding for the line, arrangement of mass, colour, shape, etc., a support which passes through them and goes beyond itself to the less definable. If this autonomy of the artist is compromised, art becomes causally determined and is made to serve some ideological agenda. There are, indeed, great works of art which have inspired the human mind and enabled it to withstand unabashed inhumanity; in which man has taken refuge in suffering and death. It may promote inter-cultural understanding. Yet, the value of art is not to be judged by ends extraneous to it. It is not given antecedently nor is it an established property of things. The value of art is intrinsic to it unfolding the inexhaustibility of the aesthetic spirit.

Suchodolski places education through art in the context of important questions and the pedagogic tasks of the 20th century. He deals with the issues of aesthetic education from the perspective of historical transformations. He pays particular attention to the new meaning of art in the new situation of access to culture by broad masses who had previously been deprived of such a privilege. He was among the first to draw attention to the new pedagogic challenge of managing people’s leisure time. As he points out, the new technologies of reproducing pieces of art aid the popularisation of art among the masses. Suchodolski sees the role of art in three dimensions: (1) cognitive, (2) compensational, and (3) hermeneutical, concerning the understanding of the conflict between man and the man-made world. The value of art and its educational power is related to posing major existential questions. It points to an important role of school in education through art.
