Art has its own language. It brings out a message but does not speak. It evokes emotions at its stillness. That sublime moment you experience when you are glued at staring a wonderful painting for instance is something that is difficult to explain. Even if science has a way of explaining the phenomena, the appeal that different individuals has for a single work remains something to ponder upon.
Da Vinci, Picasso, and all other great artist of their times may no longer be present to witness the advancements of our society. But their works which embody their era surely remain popular. Figurative and genre art are among the classification that stood proud until today. Many works including paintings and sculptures remain an attraction and inspiration for modern day artists.
To an untrained eye, figurative and genre may just look the same. Their themes, being that of ordinary human experience and practices are the same. They both center on people and the things that they do. What differentiates them however is the mode on how they are done. Genre art presents a clear image of a happening whereas figurative can be representational and can be done in abstract form.
Knowing for sure what makes an artwork great can be a challenge. Only those who created them can tell the story behind the works birth. But people can guess. There are some who are convinced that great works are born out of a skilled person who loves art. Others attribute it to passion. And then there are those who believe it is hard work, time and focus. All of these can be correct. In fact we could be looking at possible combinations.
Genre category is perceived by some as easy. You will just need to paint a common occurrence in the society after all. You can just sit down at some place, observe what people are doing and paint. But clearly, the greatest works of all times required more than clear observation in skills in painting.
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.
Personal bias can also affect the creation. If emotions are indeed used in creating the artwork, then it is easy to say that what the painter felt while doing his masterpiece shaped and curved some of the details of the image. Sometimes it can even be a combination of feelings and beliefs.
One great thing about the masterpieces we see at present is their varied interpretations. We can give meaning to them however we want it. The emotions that they draw out from individuals can affect the way we see it. Someone who sees a painting of aristocrats may find it elegant. Yet others may find it discriminating.
If you have seen an actual work done by the greatest artists of all times, you will get an idea why they are highly acclaimed like they do. Their beauty is more than just the image. The message and the emotion all have something to say.
