Over the centuries, art has done a lot of impact to a societys religion and culture. It has long been considered as a form of self expression and has been paid high regards by those people who believe that it is a clear representation of an era that can survive the test of time. And indeed, we see a lot of great works from the best artists of all times.
Different forms of art are produced at present. However, none of them can ever compete the value and the importance that those old masterpieces have. It is as if time has made them more valuable than before. When we visit museums, we will see a lot of these figurative and genre art adorning the walls of the place. Not only do they look beautiful. They look alive and meaningful enough to hold ones attention for a moment.
A quick glance at them and one can simply dismiss that the two genre are more or less the same. The subjects of the art concern humans and their practices. What differentiates them though is the presentation. Genre art clearly shows a scene. An example would be the life at the market. It is like taking a photograph of it and then painting and exact copy. Figurative is more representational. It could include abstract designs. Some of them can be difficult to decipher and are open to different interpretations.
Despite their age, there remains a profound beauty among these artworks. Some may attribute it to the manner by which it is done. Others say it is due to the time spent in making it. And then there are some who believes that it is because of the message that the paintings portray. Actually, they could be the combination of all of these factors.
You may find the painting of different scenarios as easy. As long as you have something that you can use as a guide, you can go ahead and paint. The challenge however is how to make it look appealing. It is difficult to achieve something when you are both concerned about the message and the aesthetics. Sometimes, you just need to let the other flow.
The personal experience of the artist can impact a lot to his works. The life that he lived can influence how he perceived things. What others may see as peaceful may mean ominous to someone who grew up in a poverty stricken society, where peace and comfort are things that only the rich have access to.
And of course there is the issue of an artists bias. Anyone who feels strongly about something will most likely manifest it to his works. While they could not be as dominant as the other factors, they will show. For instance, a painter who values the role of females in the society may paint a picture of women dancing in circles.
One great thing about the masterpieces we see at present is their varied interpretations. We can give meaning to them however we want it. The emotions that they draw out from individuals can affect the way we see it. Someone who sees a painting of aristocrats may find it elegant. Yet others may find it discriminating.
If you have seen an actual work done by the greatest artists of all times, you will get an idea why they are highly acclaimed like they do. Their beauty is more than just the image. The message and the emotion all have something to say.
