Art does not reflect the "mood" of the artist, is not a "replica" or "a fuzzy photograph" of the "psychic content," it is a contribution to expression, an ability that is transmitted through mimesis. Furthermore, the artistic contribution also brings to expression the immanent category of the truth content which is the object of understanding. Mimesis, therefore, is not about replicating the content; rather it is a form of expression. The mimetic moment in art is not found in the artistic intention, it outlines the features of expression, in other words, it expresses expression itself and nothing else.
