Abstract: Form and meaning, the two poles in art history, are respectively represented by abstractionist paintings-the extreme of form, and readymade art-the concrete expression of meaning. As for the appreciation, Kant's aesthetic attitude of "disinterest", and Husserl's phenomenological aesthetics of epoche both emphasize the visual appreciation through the physical eyes; The thoughts of "returning to life-world" by Husserl's in his later time and other phenomenologists after Husserl coincide with Bourdieu's theory of "judgement of taste". In the present context of modernity prevalence, we can appreciate modern art from visual perception, meaning expression and symbolization, with the integration of the physical eye and the mind eye. In the process, individual consciousness and collective consciousness, visual perception and meaning expression interact with each other and finally surpass sense perception and obtain spiritual aesthetic experience.

Key words: physical eye, mind eye, aesthetic perception, meaning expression, symbolization
