Over the centuries, art has done a lot of impact to a societys religion and culture. It has long been considered as a form of self expression and has been paid high regards by those people who believe that it is a clear representation of an era that can survive the test of time. And indeed, we see a lot of great works from the best artists of all times.
Most of the masterpieces that we see at present are the works of people who are no longer around. Yet, look at their market value and the appreciation that they receive from people across the world. Figurative and genre art is the same. They may not longer be mainstream nowadays considering that graphic design and digital art are becoming more popular but their beauty and importance remained.
These two genres can sometimes be used interchangeable. After all, they both reflect daily life and practices of the people. But while genre deals a lot with clear manifestations like the Peasant Dance by Pieter Brueghel in 1568, figurative can present abstractions from the real thing. A good example is the Les Demoiselles painting in 1907 done by Picasso.
Despite their age, there remains a profound beauty among these artworks. Some may attribute it to the manner by which it is done. Others say it is due to the time spent in making it. And then there are some who believes that it is because of the message that the paintings portray. Actually, they could be the combination of all of these factors.
If you think about it, you may find it easy to do the genre one. After all, you just need to find a real event that is happening on your place. It could be anything. From the normal life in the streets, up to the life of students living in mountainous areas. The choices are varied. But making them look appealing and catching is a different story.
The personal experience of the artist can impact a lot to his works. The life that he lived can influence how he perceived things. What others may see as peaceful may mean ominous to someone who grew up in a poverty stricken society, where peace and comfort are things that only the rich have access to.
We cannot also set aside the idea of the artists personal biases. Everyone who decides to create something, figurative or not, has his own biases. And in one way or another, this can manifest in his works. For instance, an artist who loves a specific sport may find it appropriate to create a work that uses the sport as a representation for societal inequality.
Every work of art is open to interpretation. There could be various explanations on its general meaning but the bottom line is, everyone can place a meaning to anything. After all, works of art impacts different people differently. What one sees as beautiful may look insulting to others.
There is something irreplaceable about the beauty that old paintings has. It is more than just the image. It could be the message or the emotions evoked by the combinations of color. The great thing is, people of all ages are drawn to it.
