The philosophy and modern art paintings have some interesting
similarities and differences. Before continuing, it may be appropriate
to ask: when is a painting considered modern modern art? It is generally
accepted that modern art occurred during the approximate period between
about the 1860 and 1970. Work since then often referred to as
contemporary art, and definitely not the same. Of particular interest to
many is the way in which modern art and the objectives of the
philosophy of common action, but getting through different means. If a
participant in a philosophical conversation, or an observer of art, make
the critical connections or not depends largely on their individual
capacity to interpret and apply.
One of the main characteristics
of modern art painting is that it represents a significant change in
the way that classical or traditional artists, looked to nature,
environment and social norms and structures. That tended to portray more
emotion on the canvas. During this period, the philosophy began to be
incorporated into art, so much so, that the visual aspect of art is
dominated by the philosophy of art was created. This does not mean that
only the artists painted with the philosophical objectives in mind. On
the contrary, that art in itself tends to connect people with
philosophical insights so that I had not done before. He made the most
explicit and deliberate process.
As mentioned above, both
philosophy and modern art of painting tend to share the same goals. Both
attempt to shed light on the nature of the world, self, and our place
in it, and work to open our minds to further exploration and
understanding about the inner workings of our common human experience.
And while this may be the case, others argue that in fact there is no
goal or objective. They argue that art is purer than that, and that if a
person moves or not a particular piece has nothing to do with the
intention of the artist. For these people, identify the purpose of art
is missing the point entirely. I'll let you decide which side you think
is more attractive for you.
Methods philosophical challenges us
to ask questions about the nature of reality, what it means to be a
self, what the ethics of a society should be, how we know what we know,
and many other metaphysical and epistemological areas of life people
have been deeply concerned at all times. Deliberate or not, modern art
painting makes a similar insight in many of the same things and
challenges us to ask similar questions. Color, shape, form and texture
are simply other tools by which they come face to face with these
concerns and questions.
As for the communication of ideas and
emotions, modern art painting has its limitations as does philosophy.
Both are inherently abstract, so that understanding and the application
can be quite difficult to achieve for all but the most committed
participant. Since the meaning seems to be a quality relativistic, only
to be collected to make a meaningful interpretation of himself after
seeing a painting of modern art, or think in a philosophical discussion,
it makes sense that one thinks and feels deeply about both.
Fortunately,
the goal is not to go through life without mental or emotional
connections with the ideas and emotions that a picture or a
philosophical idea could lead. Instead, connections are encouraged and
celebrated. We see a painting of modern art - we feel deeply. We
reflected a convincing philosophical argument - that move inside. Both
of us feel connected and happy to be alive.
