Paintings from four different periods are considered in chronological order to review an aspect of the ‘advancement’ of arts. In particular, on the basis of a distinction between matter and mind, it is discussed that the Western arts have progressed from involving mainly matter, or objective description, to placing greater emphasis on mind, or subjective imagination. An examination of the advancement of arts may hint that physics, which has dealt with matter so far, may address the aspect of mind in the future.
