Искусство в жизни человека.

 

A Role of Art in a Harmonic Development
of a Person.

Art plays an important role in upbrin­ging our emotions, tastes and feelings.It changes our views and outlook and mood, enriches our inner world and cultivate love for people and nature. Great works of art enable man to look at the world as if through a magnifying glass.They bring into focus all that is most impoitant and significant. They allow him to glimpse that spiritual exaltation from which a work of art is born.

While visiting art museums we make a journey through the centuries, ac­quainting us with the works of the greatest painters. Their art is distinguished by humanism, the vital truth and realism.

There is one more quality essential to their art —each of the great masters of the past was a link in the chain of mankind’s spiritual progress, and each of them played a part in it, revealing new aspects of man’s spirit, finding new possibilities of its artistic expression.

Art museums preserve numerous masterpieces which testify that art pain­ting goes back thousands years. Even now we can admire the mosaic and fresco images, icons which have survived the ravages of time. Among the best known icons is “The Trinity” by Andrey Rublov, a painter who opened a new era in world painting with his celebration of human strength and beauty. His works are imbued with spirituality and grace, and the fervour of his faith, with | the support of his luminous colours, endows his painting with immense forcefulness.

The canvases of the painters, whether Italian, German, English, Dutch, French, Ukrainian or Russian, are always marked by a profound humanism together with an acute insight into life, and are distinguished by inspired innova tory ideas and consummate artistic mastery.

' The canvases by Leonardo da Vinci, “The Litta Madonna” and “Benois ¹ Madonna” embody the Renaissance artists’ desire to comprehend emotion | through reason, and to create in accordance with the rules of harmony an ideal of the perfect human being. The works of El Greco (“The Apostles Peter and ‘ Paul,” “Portrait of Don Rodrigo Vasquez,” etc.) amuse us with the aitist’s pe­netration into the depths of the human spirit and its eternal discontent. Rembrand’s works (“Danaya,” “Young Woman with Earrings,” “The Return of the Prodigal Son,” etc.) are striking for their profound insight into man’s inner world. The art of the great painter is concerned with man’s relationship to the world, to life and death, youth and age, the joy of spiritual intimacy and the despair of loneliness.

Flemish painter, Peter Paul Rubens, reveals the charmingly innocent na­ture of the young girl in his famous work “Portrait of Lady of the Cham­ber.”

The names of the greatest Impressionists C. Monet, Renoir, Degas are well-known for their individual art. Painters Cezanne and Van Gogh expressed in their works the desire to re­turn to an integrated perception of the world.

The nineteenth century gave us such prominent Russian painters as K. Briu­llov, A. Ivanov, I. Repin, V. Surikov and I. Levitan. Russian art at the turn of this century saw the search for a new content and a new form, complex and acute images.

In the middle of the nineteenth century Ukrainian art found itself under the strong influence of Taras Shevchenko’s art and verse. He created attrac­tive, emotionally saturated images and acquired his own vision of Ukrainian folk life (“Kateryna,” 1842, “A Peasant Family,” 1843, “The Scenic Ukrai­ne,” 1842).

Bewitching Ukrainian environs inspired many Russian and Ukrainian pain­ters to create poetic landscapes (for instance, those by V. Tropinin, A. Kuidzhi, author of the well-known “Moonlit Night over the Dnieper”). Nowa­days Ukrainian art encompasses probably every conceivable trend, ranging from Neorealism to Post-modernism.
