The specificity of art as a cultural phenomenon Automatic translate
Art is the combined result and process of human activity, which is expressed in the practically spiritual development of the world. Based on the concept of culture, which states that culture is the second nature created by man and created it, it can be argued that art is one of the main phenomena of culture. At the heart of art is the ability of a person to form images. Various forms of art are literature, sculpture, architecture, graphics, painting, music, dance, arts and crafts, theater, cinema and more.
Among art historians, there is a point of view according to which a certain type of art is especially inherent in each historical era in the development of mankind. For example, in archaic culture, applied art was the most valuable; Antiquity is most represented by sculptural heritage; The Middle Ages - the kingdom of architectural forms; Renaissance - the flourishing of painting; Enlightenment - a surge of literary creativity. Following this logic, we can say that modernity is permeated by the cult of cinema. However, it cannot be argued that other forms of art were not represented or developed in the era under consideration. For example, music, dance, theatrical art were quite developed at all times, starting from Antiquity. We can say that for the most clear description of a particular historical era, it is advisable to use the form of art that was at that time at the peak of prosperity.
Today, art, remaining the same, takes on new forms thanks to the development of science and technology. Our contemporaries have the opportunity to see masterpieces of painting in online galleries, fans of literary works read them without a book on electronic devices, the same thing happens with music that can sound personal to you, although there are no musicians nearby. A special word needs to be said about film fans. The possibilities provided by modern technology to moviegoers are simply endless. You can watch a movie anywhere, having a network connection at hand, you can watch a movie online. And here is the result of all this: thanks to the advent of new communication technologies in the world of culture, interest in art among the masses is growing again.
One of the most important issues in the theory of art is the definition of its styles. Style (from the Greek "stylos" - a stick for writing) is defined as the way of existence of something that differs in a combination of peculiar techniques in art and literature of a certain direction or time, as well as in a separate, specific work. Style unity exists in the culture of a certain era, country, people.
