2. The so-called art science is a discipline that takes the entire field of art as its research object. Just as Baumgarten is known as the "Father of Aesthetics", people place the title of "Father of Art" on the head of the German Konrad Fiedler (1841-1895). E. Utitz (1883-1965), one of the leading advocates of art in Germany at the beginning of this century, clearly said: "Federer is the father of our modern form of art." This view has been recognized by the international art theory community. recognized. For example, the "Aesthetic Affairs Code" compiled by the famous Japanese esthetician Takeuchi Toshio also considers Federer to be the "ancestor of art." The reason why Federer became the "Father of Art" was not because he named the subject. The German term "Kunstwissenschaft" (Kunstwissenschaft) was formed after him. Federer's contribution was that he was the first to point out that "the fundamental issues of aesthetics are completely different from the fundamental issues of art philosophy". He believed that art is not only related to beauty, and that beauty cannot cover all problems in art. He strongly advocated the separation of beauty and art.
