Art


Our world has become a very visual one – we have art all around us. Understanding art is understanding our world.
The arts are a great subdivision of culture. It is a broader term than art, which usually means only the visual arts. The arts include visual arts, literary arts and the performing arts, like music, theatre, and film.
In my opinion art plays a large part in making our lives infinitely rich. Art stimulates different parts of our brains to make us laugh or cry, calm down or start shouting. You could say “Art is something that makes us more thoughtful and well-balanced humans.”
The most frequent association with the word art is painting. Painting has had a long and glorious world history as an independent art. As for me, not long ago I got interested in modern art (abstract art). I got enchanted by the flying shapes and colourful patterns of the works by Mark Chagal, Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dali, Jackson Pollock, Kazimir Malevich. Understanding abstract art is easy: all it requires is an open mind and a big imagination. You have to open up your intuition to see where the painting takes you. Abstract art allows the viewer to decide what the artwork is about, on a very personal level. Abstract art is open to interpretation, and that is one of the beautiful things about it!
In conclusion I’d like to quote Pablo Picasso: “Everyone wants to understand art. Why not try to understand the song of a bird?” Picasso has a point. Art can’t be explained in words, because its influence on people is very personal.
