Fix the first sentence
[edit]"The term formalism, and the derived formalist applied to followers of some type of formalism, has been very widely applied." This should be changed into something less redundant and more comprehensible. - RRH Friday, May 19th 2006, 2:00 pm
Suggested Merge
[edit]Formalism and Formalist cover the same ground, so should be merged. Most of the art pages are about formalism, so I suggest that as title for the common merged dab page. Kusma (talk) 03:26, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
- I agree, a merge is the way to go here. --Brendanfox 02:25, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
- I support this merge. Go ahead! -- Rbellin|Talk 22:54, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
Formalism in music
[edit]There does not seem to be anything in this article about the use of the term "formalism" in music, nor does there seem to be an article about formalism in music. I will try to piece together a stub but could someone who knows more about it than I do weigh in and make things better? --Wspencer11 (talk to me...) 17:07, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
- Put something fairly basic together...but now, what's the best way to link the two articles to one another? if searching for "Formalism" one only goes here to the main page with no link therein and no disambiguation. --Wspencer11 (talk to me...) 11:17, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit]What is the difference between formalism and positivism? -- 14:01, 29 July 2007 83.67.85.107
As a Stalinist insult
[edit]In the Soviet Union during the Zhdanovsky period of Stalin's rule, "formalism" was an epithet of condemnation which basically meant art for art's sake, which did not serve a larger social purpose... AnonMoos (talk) 17:38, 2 January 2018 (UTC)
