Art and Communication

While Kant conceives Communication as tangentially related to Art, i. e. integral to the judgment of it, Nietzsche and Dewey each suggests a more intimate connection.  For, in "compared with music all communication by words is shameless", from #810 of the Will to Power collection, and in "works of art are the only media of complete and unhindered communication", from the end of ch. V of Art as Experience, Art is conceived as a species of Communication.  However, further development of that classification is complicated by two shortcomings.  First, though just prior to that passage, Nietzsche also observes that "one never communicates thoughts: one communicates movements" (#809), he, in that context, does not explicitly recognize such "movements" as Dancing, as he does in section 2 of birth of Tragedy.  Likewise, Dewey's denial of the assertion, in the preceding paragraph, that "communication to others is the intent of an artist", is certainly false in the case of a Dance Band.  Second, neither of the two seems to subscribe to the thesis that has been proposed here--that verbal communication is essentially a signal seeking a responsive action.  In contrast, accepting the latter concept, in combination with the overlooked example, Art, specifically Music, can be appreciated as not merely a species of Communication, but as its exemplar.
