Artistic image

At various stages of the development of mankind, the artistic image takes various forms.

This happens for two reasons:

the item itself changes - a person
changes and the forms of its reflection art.
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, common and individual, rational and emotional, etc.
In the images of the literature of classicism, for example, very little individual. Heroes are typed, template. Does not change throughout the work. As a rule, the hero of classicism is a carrier of one virtue and one vice. As a rule, all the images of the heroes of the work of classicism can be divided into positive and negative (Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare Hamlet, Mitrofanushka and Ms. Prostakova at Fonvizin). And romance artists, on the contrary, pay attention to the individual in man, depict the Buntar Hero, is a single, who rejected the society or rejected them. The image of the hero of the romantic work is always a double, tormented by the contradictions that occur due to the difference of the world of the real, in which we all live, and the ideal, how much of the world should be (quasimodo and Esmeralda Hugo, Don Quixote Sermontes, MTSI and partly Pechorin Lermontov) . Realists sought to rational knowledge of the world, identifying causal relationships between objects and phenomena. Their images are the most realistic, there are very few artistic fiction in them (Gogol's chicter, Dostoevsky's splitters). 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 programs, there is a person and its relationship with the surrounding world, romantics, and then modernists, interest in the inner world of their heroes primarily.
Although artists are the creators of artistic images (poets, writers, paintings, sculptors, architects, etc.), in some sense, their creators are also those who are perceived, that is, readers, viewers, listeners and t . D. 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 and multifaceted, as well as life itself.
