Aesthetic Response as Coping Behavior: An Anthropological Perspective.
Young, David E.
Studies in Art Education, v24 n1 p5-15 Fall 1982

It is distinguished from other cultural activity, like religion and science, because its raw materials are formal properties--line, form, color, texture--derived from the external world. (Author/CS)
