What is an artistic image?
The artistic image is generalizedreflection of reality in the form of specific individual phenomena. To understand what an artistic image is, such vivid examples of world literature as Faust or Hamlet, Don Juan or Don Quixote will help. In these characters, the most characteristic human traits, their desires, passions and feelings are transferred.
Artistic image in art
The artistic image is the mostsensible and accessible to human perception factor. In this sense, the image in art, including the artistic image in literature, is nothing more than a visual-figurative reproduction of real life. However, here it is necessary to understand that the author's task is not simply to reproduce, "duplicate" life, his vocation is to think out and supplement it in accordance with artistic laws.
Artistic creativity from scientific workdistinguishes author's, deeply subjective character. That is why every role, every stanza and every picture has an imprint of the artist's personality. Unlike science, art is inconceivable without fiction and imagination. Despite this, it is often art that is able to reproduce reality much more adequately than academic scientific methods.
The indispensable condition for the development of art isfreedom of creativity, in other words - the ability to model actual situations of life and experiment with them, without looking at the accepted framework of dominant ideas about the world or generally accepted scientific doctrines. In this sense, the genre of fiction is particularly relevant, which puts forward models of reality that are quite different from the real one. Some fiction writers of the past, such as Karel Čapek (1890-1938) and Julia Vernu (1828-1905), managed to predict the appearance of many achievements of the present. Finally, when science considers the human phenomenon multifaceted (social behavior, language, psyche), its artistic image is an indissoluble wholeness. Art shows man as a whole variety of different characteristics.
It can be said with certainty that the main taskartist - is to create an artistic image, examples of the best of them replenish from time to time the treasures of the cultural heritage of civilization, exerting a tremendous influence on our consciousness.
