Artistic image

1. Artistic image: the value of the term

In the general sense, the image is a sensual representation of a certain idea. Images are referred to as empirical perceived and truly sensual objects in the literary work. These are visual images (paintings of nature) and auditory (wind noise, rustling of the reel). Olfactory (smells of perfumes, herbs aroma) and taste (taste of milk, cookies). Images tactile (touches) and kinetic (related to movement). Using images, writers designate the picture of the world and man in the works; Detect movement, dynamics of action. The way is also a kind of holistic education; Improved in the subject, phenomenon or person thought.

Artistic becomes not every image. The artisticity of the image lies in its special - aesthetic - purpose. He captures the beauty of nature, animal peace, man, interpersonal relationship; Opens the secret perfection of being. Artistic image is urged to testify to the beautiful, which serves as a general good and approves world harmony.

In the aspect of the structure of the literary creation, an artistic image is the most important component of his form. The pattern is referred to in the "body" of aesthetic object; The main "transmitting" gear of the artistic mechanism, without which the development of action is impossible, understanding the meaning. If the artwork is a major unit of literature, then an artistic image is the main unit of literary creation. With the help of artistic images, the reflection object is simulated. The objects of the landscape and interior, events and actions of heroes are expressed. In the images, the idea of \u200b\u200bthe author appears; The main, generalizing idea is embodied.

So, in the Eating A. Green "Scarlet Sails" the main the topic of love is reflected in the central artistic formation - scarlet sails, meaning an elevated romantic feeling. Artistic is the sea in which the Assol is peering, waiting for a white ship; Launched, uncomfortable mennel traaster; Green bug crawling on line with the word "look." As an artistic image (disruption image), the first meeting of Greasol Assol, when a young captain puts on his finger his challenged; Equipping the ship Gray by Alami sails; Drinking wine whom no one had to drink and others.

Artistic images allocated by us: Sea, ship, scarlet sails, tavern, bug, wine - this is the most important details of the form of extravagania. Thanks to these details, the work of A. Green begins to "live". It receives the main actors (Assol and Gray), the place of their meeting (sea), as well as its condition (ship with almy sails), means (view with the help of a bug), result (engagement, wedding).

Using images, the writer approves one simple truth. She is, "to make the so-called miracles with their own hands."

In the aspect of literature, as a type of art, an artistic image is a central category (as well as a symbol) of literary creativity. He acts as a universal form of life development and at the same time using it to comprehend. In artistic images, social activities, specific historical cataclysms, human feelings and characters, spiritual aspirations are comprehended. In this aspect, an artistic image does not simply replace the indentible phenomenon or summarizes its characteristic features. He tells about the real facts of being; knows them in the whole manifold; Shows their essence. Artistic models of being, unrecognized intuitions and insights are recalled. It becomes gnostological; Putting the road to the truth, the primolution (in this sense we are talking about the image of something: peace, sun, soul, God).

Thus, the function of the "conductor" to the primitive image of the whole system (the divine image of Jesus Christ) acquires a whole system of artistic images in the story of I. A. Bunin "Dark Alleys", which speaks of an unexpected meeting of the main characters: Nicholas and Hope, once bound by the Uzami Sin love and wandering in the sensuality labyrinth (in the "Dark Alleys", by the author).

The figurative system of the work is built on a sharp opposition of Nicholas (aristocrat and general who seduced and threw her beloved) and hopes (peasants, the hostess of the inn, which never forgot, did not forgive her love).

Nicholas appearance, despite his old age, almost flawless. It is still beautiful, Elegance and tighten. In his face, the devotion is apparently read by its business and loyalty. However, all this is only a non-resistant shell; Empty cocoon. In the shower of a brilliant general - only dirt and "neglence". The hero appears to a person selfish, cold, worm and not capable of acting even to achieve his personal happiness. He has no sublime goal, no spiritual moral aspirations. He sails by the waves, he died soul. In the literal and figurative sense, Nikolai travels along the "dirty road" and therefore heavily reminds of the writer's own "tarty tarantas" with a robber-like Kucher.

The appearance of the hope of the former Beloved Nicholas, on the contrary, is little attractive. The woman retained the traces of the former beauty, but ceased to follow himself: fused, immediately, "Obaw". However, in the soul, hope saved hope for the best and even love. In the house of the heroine purely, warm and cozy, which indicates not about simple diligence or care, but also about the purity of feelings and mental. A "New Golden Image (Icon - P. K.) in the corner" distinctly denotes the religiousness of the hostess, her faith in God and in his fishery. According to this image, the reader realizes that hope finds a genuine source of good and all of the good; that she does not die in sin, but reborn eternal; What is given to her by the price of severe mental suffering, the price of refusing itself.

The need to oppose the two main characters of the story stems, according to the author, not only because of their social inequality. Contrast emphasizes the different value orientation of these people. It shows the fear of the indifference preached by the hero. And at the same time approves the great power of the manic heroine of love.

With the help of contrast, bunin reaches another, global goal. The author emphasizes the central artistic image - the icon. The icon depicting Christ becomes a writer with a universal means of spiritual and moral transformation of characters. Thanks to this image, the hope is saved, gradually forgetting about nightmarish "dark heralds". Thanks to this image, it becomes on the path of salvation and Nikolai, kissing his hand with a lover and thereby receiving forgiveness. Thanks to this image in which the heroes find complete calmness, the reader himself is thinking about their lives. The image of Christ takes it out of the labyrinth of sensuality to the idea of \u200b\u200beternity.

In other words, an artistic image is a generalized picture of human life, transformed in the light of the aesthetic ideal of the artist; Quintessence of creatively learned reality. In the artistic form there is an installation on the unity of objective and subjective, individual and typical. He is an embodiment of public or personal being. Artistic is also referred to as any image that has visuality (sensual appearance), internal essence (meaning, destination) and a clear logic of self-discharge.
