Art, Artist, Dionysian, Will to Power

While the topic of #218 of Human, All Too Human is Architecture, the primary focus of #11 of the 'Expeditions' section of Twilight of the Idols is, more precisely, "the architect", and it is the latter that is the locus of the subsequent ascription of Will to Power.  This shift of attention is summarized by an assertion, appearing in #677 of the Will to Power collection, that "one must examine the artist himself".  In other words, Nietzsche's orientation, that begins, in Birth of Tragedy, as a "metaphysic of music" (#5), matures into the philosophical Psychology of the Will to Power, to which even Aesthetic Theory is subordinated.  However, obscured in the maturation is the role of the Dionysian principle as a trans-individual force, which, insofar as the object of Psychological diagnosis is the individual, is reduced to an intra-organic drive.  Accordingly, his later analysis of the Artist abstracts from the social context of Art, and, hence, from its communicative dimension, which explains, why the Architecture of the Twilight passage is "conscious of no witness".
