Artistic image

This happens for two reasons:

the item itself changes - a person

the forms of reflection of it are changed.

There are features in the reflection of the world (which means both in the creation of artistic images) by artists-realists, sentimentalists, romantics, modernists, etc. As the art develops, the ratio of reality and fiction, reality and ideal, general and individual, rational and emotional etc.

In the images of the literature of classicism, for example, the struggle of feelings and debt is put forward, and positive heroes invariably make a choice in favor of the latter, sacrificing personal happiness in the name of state interests. And the artists-romance, on the contrary, tower the Hero Buntar, alone, rejected society or rejected by him. Realists sought to rational knowledge of the world, identifying causal relationships between objects and phenomena. And modernists announced that it is possible to know the world and a person with the help of irrational means (intuition, inspiration, inspiration, etc.). In the center of realistic works there is a person and his relationship with the outside world, romantics, and then modernists, are primarily interested in the inner world of their heroes.

Although the creators of artistic images are artists (poets, writers, painters, sculptors, architects, etc.), in some sense, their creators are also the ones who these images perceive, that is, readers, viewers, listeners, etc. . So, the perfect reader not only passively perceives the artistic image, but also fills it with his own thoughts, sensations and emotions. Different people and different epochs reveal different sides. In this sense, the artistic image is inexhaustible, as well as life itself.
