The 21st century has brought new opportunities and prospects to society. We live in an era when the trend is "stylish functionality", which has firmly established itself in a wide variety of areas of life. The effect that this trend has had in the field of painting is striking, because it is an integral part of everyday life, with which positive emotions, aesthetic knowledge of the world and a special culture of perception of beauty are associated. In addition, each artist sees the world in his own way, depicts it in his own special manner, conveys the emotions that he himself feels. Therefore, modern art is developing in many new directions, techniques and names.
Paintings as a gift
Artists clearly feel the emotional background that art forms in the human mind, making their works very meaningful. The most popular, effective and aesthetic technique of painting is oil.
The creative output of modern masters can be described in two directions:
- Conceptual art. Such paintings are devoid of open emotionality and excessive detail. They are focused on the subconscious of a person, his own "perception" of the work, leaving the opportunity to reflect and fill the image with feelings and qualities important for a particular individual;
- Art directions: pop painting, minimalism and photorealism.
The diversity of these directions was created by ethnic and social groups, new technical capabilities and techniques, changed areas of use and styles. This is a flight of imagination, incredible ideas that came to life on the canvas thanks to the talent of the master.
Pop art brought realism back to life, brought a breath of fresh air, expression and charisma to abstract painting. It is the simple colors and lines of minimalism that express laconicism and generalization. There are no excesses in these works. They expose the nerve, emphasize the most important details, focus attention on the main thing.
Paintings in the style of photorealism are especially popular today. They look like real photographs, since in this style you can create exclusively with the use of modern technical innovations. This contributes to the growth of the personality, the creative talent of the master, and also stimulates the development of painting, and its compliance with the needs of modern society.
How to choose a painting?
Recently, a scientific study was conducted, the results of which established how different genres of paintings affect a person's psychological state and their subsequent behavior. Each painting used was written in its own special genre.
The results pleasantly surprised connoisseurs of meaning and content. It has been established that nature depicted in paintings evokes the most positive emotions. The same feelings are evoked by images of the weather: sunny episodes or calm cause joy and inspire creative searches for oneself. Accordingly, a storm, a storm, rainy, cloudy weather cause a person to feel down-to-earth, tired, apathetic. You should also not choose paintings for your home depicting generals, battle scenes or injured animals - these episodes provoke aggressiveness and tension in a person's psychological state. But it is precisely such paintings that will have an adequate expression in the interior of an office or a boss's office, demonstrating status and influence. Scientists have found the widest range of positive emotions in abstract painting, paintings painted with oil in warm colors and shades.
Therefore, you should not perceive painting as a conservative, ossified and inactive sphere of creativity. Modern artists have filled it with functionality and content. All that is needed for aesthetic kalokogatiya is to determine the desired content of the depicted scenes, episodes, images.
