To Simmel, art distance can be regarded as the art reaction or psychological strategy when artists face the reality, and also can be regarded as the inherent characteristics of the modernist art. The discussion about art distance of Simmel focuses on two aspects: the outer distance and the inner distance of art. The former emphasizes the relationship of art and reality, while the latter focuses on the distance experience derived from internal factors of art.
