Whether or not one is a romantic can perhaps be fruitfully determined through one’s conception of art.
art = performance Art as something happening in the act of being seen, heard, felt, experienced. I associate this with movements beginning with post-.
art = representation Art as a copy of reality and therefore, pace Plato, being somewhat less real. Classicism.
art = interpretation Art as being incomplete until criticised. Not that criticism completes art, but it continues the work of art. This is romanticism.
