    Key Terms

    Aesthetic intent(describing what an artwork is meant to accomplish)

    Aesthetic legitimacy(questioning whether art that focuses on pleasure counts as 'real' art)
    The quality of being genuinely considered 'art' or worthy of serious artistic appreciation, rather than being dismissed as merely decorative or frivolous.
    Bodily pleasure(describing sensations that go beyond just looking at something)
    Physical enjoyment experienced through the senses—like the taste of good food, the feel of pleasant textures, or sexual gratification.
    Deliberately integrate(emphasizing that the artwork is purposefully designed to include bodily pleasure)
    Intentionally combine or blend something as a core part of the work, rather than by accident.
