Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: The synthesis of academic painting and plastic anatomy has its origins in prehistoric times (the syncretic nature of primitive culture).It becomes especially noticeable during transitional periods in human history.Particularly vivid examples of such integration can be traced in the 20th century, in particular, with the emergence of conceptual art.Conceptual art focuses on ideas and processes, not on the finished artistic product itself.Conceptual art, as a direction of modern art, was initiated in the 1950s and 1960s and became a reflection of sociocultural changes in the society of the Western world.Such leading philosophers and art theorists of the 20th century as T. Adorno, M. Heidegger, and H. Ortega-i-Gasset reflected on the radical changes both in art itself and in its perception.T. Adorno analyzed the meaning of a modern work of art as a message of the artist, a product of his time and a specific social and political situation, a reflection of reality.T. Adorno combined a complex analysis of social phenomena with a philosophical understanding of culture and art, creating deep and critical views on modern society.M. Heidegger substantiates the interdependence and interdependence between a work of art and its creator.At the same time, a work of art is not just a material embodiment of a creative idea.He is a symbol of the creator himself and his life credo.H. Ortega-i-Gasset already at the beginning of the 20th century, being a direct participant in the events that he analyzed, conceptually formulated and systematized the ideas of mass society and, accordingly, its culture, aesthetically and ethically shifted towards simplification, materialization.These philosophical ideas found their embodiment in the influence of art on the development of design, namely, in being based on several pillars: an idea, a point of view regarding the embodiment of an idea, its possible artistic expression, a demonstration of the artist's position.At the same time, the conceptual design should remain as concise as possible and with a clear idea.Such a combination requires a synthesis of academic painting, plastic in combination with modern technologies, bold experimentation with materials and forms, which testifies to the artist's creative thinking and professional training.Alexander Arkhipenko, Andy Warhol, Yayoi Kusama, Alex Boch are vivid examples of such creative personalities.
