Essay what is real art. Oh what is true art. The Renaissance and the Modern World

  1. (37 words) Gogol's story "Portrait" also shows the influence of real art on a person. The hero spends his last money on a painting that strikes his imagination. The portrait of the old man does not let go of the new owner, even outside. Such is the power of culture over human consciousness.
  2. (43 words) In Gogol's story "Nevsky Prospekt" Piskarev is influenced by his vocation - painting. That is why all life for him is painted in colors unknown to ordinary people: in a public woman, for example, he sees a muse and a wife, does not hesitate to help her. This is how true art ennobles the individual.
  3. (41 words) Real art always makes a person more sublime and noble. In Ostrovsky's play The Forest, the actor who knows Schiller by heart also has the notion of honor embedded in literature. He gives all his money as a dowry to an unknown girl Aksyusha, demanding nothing in return.
  4. (46 words) In Dostoevsky's novel Poor Folk, real art helps Varya not to lose her virtue, despite all life's hardships. The student taught her to read Gogol and Pushkin, and the girl became stronger in character and stronger in spirit. At the same time, kindness, sensitivity and a special inner beauty developed in her.
  5. (50 words) Real art is always dedicated to people, it is “created” from a big heart. In the story "The Freak" the hero only paints the stroller, but he does it not only beautifully, but also with love. They did not understand his gesture, but this situation reminded us, the readers, of the fate of all the persecuted creators who embodied their goodness in works of art.
  6. (38 words) Pushkin's poem "The Prophet" clearly expresses the calling of true art - to burn people's hearts. The poet does it with a verb, the artist with his brush, the musician with his instrument, and so on. That is, their works always excite and stun us, forcing us to think about eternal questions.
  7. (39 words) Lermontov's poem "Prophet" raises the theme of non-recognition of the creators. The author writes how people began to despise his "pure teachings". It is obvious that real art is not necessarily proclaimed as such, on the contrary, it sometimes overtakes its time and becomes misunderstood among conservative people.
  8. (49 words) The theme of real art was close to Lermontov. His poem "When Raphael is inspired" describes the process of creating art, when "heavenly fire" burns in the sculptor, and the poet listens to the "enchanting sounds of the lyre." This means that culture does not even come from people, but from something sacred and mysterious, which is beyond our understanding.
  9. (30 words) In Chekhov's story "Student", the hero tells ordinary women a biblical story. Even in the form of a retelling, real art evokes conflicting feelings and sincere feelings in people: Vasilisa cries, and Lukerya is embarrassed.
  10. (58 words) In Mayakovsky's poem "To the Other Side", the theme of art is central. The author says that it serves people, inspires them to change, that poets “throw themselves under their feet”, go to the front line for the people. And even when “the holiday will be behind the pain of battle”, people will also need art to cheer them up and make them happy. Thus, it is indispensable and very important to us.
  11. Real life examples

    1. (40 words) I realized the impact of real art when I got into playing the guitar. I began to listen carefully to the music, looking for chords, riffs and interesting tricks. When I listened to the playing of meters, I got a real pleasure, comparable only to the euphoria at a concert.
    2. (46 words) My sister became my guide to the world of art. She showed me old engravings and frescoes in large and beautiful books, and once even took me to the museum with her. There I experienced such an uplifting spirit, such a keen curiosity about life, that I will never be the same again.
    3. (50 words) True art has drawn me to itself since childhood. The craving for him led me to the bookshelves, where I found the book "Richard the Lionheart." I remember that it flew by in one breath, I read even at night, and in the rare hours of sleep I imagined tournaments and balls. Thus, culture enriches human life.
    4. (38 words) I remember how art inspired my grandmother. She did not miss a single theatrical performance and always returned in such joyful excitement that she twittered to the whole house, and I did not feel her age: she seemed young and blooming to me.
    5. (45 words) True art is most clearly manifested on the stage. When I first went to the theater, I watched Woe from Wit with delight and rapture. I tried to remember every word, every gesture, as if a miracle was being played out before me, and I, the chronicler, must pass on its splendor to posterity.
    6. (45 words) I didn't have much interest in art until I discovered music festivals. There, the sound is different, and the atmosphere, in a word, is not like in ordinary studio recordings. I was paralyzed by such lively, sincere, strong music and made me realize myself, love and feel my essence.
    7. (56 words) Art makes people more cultured. My mother worked in a museum and was a very polite woman. She really loved and understood her exhibits, which she looked at, and this elevated feeling made her better. Not once did she even yell at me, but her quiet, weighty word was like thunder for me, because I was not afraid, but respected her.
    8. (48 words) Art has played a decisive role in my life. I had a dark period in my life, I didn’t want anything, when suddenly my great-grandmother’s old oil paintings caught my eye. They crumbled in order, I decided to try to revive them. Then I found a calling - painting. With my talent, I continued the family tradition.
    9. (34 words) Real art makes a person better. My brother, for example, was withdrawn, it was difficult to get along with people, but as soon as he developed a passion for painting, he became a very interesting conversationalist, and society itself reached out to him.
    10. (41 words) Art is the source of culture. I noticed that people who are interested in art are much more polite and tactful than those who do not notice it. For example, I'm mostly friends with guys from a music or art school, as they are versatile and pleasant to talk to.

COMPOSITION

Art is a creative reflection of reality in artistic images. Real art excites the soul, gives a feeling of happiness. It can distract a person from everyday life, transfer dreams and fantasies to the world, instill faith in miracles. I will prove the validity of my words with specific examples.

Let us turn to the text of T.N. Tolstoy, whose heroine of the two types of art - theater and cinema - preferred the second. The theater cannot give the storyteller what she needs: "a complete transformation, a final deception." The heroine believes that the movie is intended for those who "love dreams and miracles." So, it is the cinema that helps the narrator to feel the fullness of life.

Essay 1

Real art, according to the article "Explanatory Dictionary of the Russian Language" by S.I. Ozhegov, is "a creative reflection, reproduction of reality in artistic images." But is it possible to define the meaning of this word in one phrase? Of course not! Art is charm and sorcery! This is exactly what T. Tolstoy says in the text.

Firstly, the famous writer builds the heroine's argument about real art, opposing the seemingly incompatible in meaning: theater and cinema ... Incompatible because she does not like the theater! All the sympathies of the lyrical heroine are given to the cinema that enchanted and bewitched her! Here is how she enthusiastically writes about her favorite art form: “It is precisely from the cinema that I expect a complete transformation, a final deception -“ so as not to think why, so as not to remember when.

My point of view about real art differs from the opinion of the heroine of T. Tolstoy: I love the theater! A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to attend a wonderful performance of the opera-mystery Juno and Avos. Everything that was there: the wonderful scenery, and the wonderful music of Alexei Rybnikov, and the romantic love story of two wonderful people - said that I was in the temple of art! And "the gods in it ... are mine!"

Thus, real art is different for each person: someone loves cinema, and someone loves theater.

Essay 2

Art is an integral part of human culture. However, only that art that has a positive effect on a person, touching the innermost strings of his soul, we can call real.

We find examples of real art in the text of T.N. Tolstoy. The hero of the story, on behalf of whom the narration is going on, compares two types of art - theater and cinema. He comes to the conclusion that the theater is not his temple and the gods in it are not his (4-7). He really loves cinema, because there you can relax and dream, there are no flaws that are forgiven to artists in the theater in exchange for their art (8). In his opinion, “cinema for those who love dreams is miracles”, “cinema is for children”.

In addition, you can give examples of real art from life. I really like pictures that depict real objects. And I can't understand why people are willing to pay money for works of incomprehensible purpose. For example, recently a rather interesting exhibit was exhibited in a local gallery - a garbage container with household waste, for which the author offered almost 3 million rubles. So why can't the janitor, who has a lot of this "good", do the same, because nothing is required for this? It seems to me that this is not real art, but just a pathetic imitation of it.

Thus, we were convinced that real art should be done with a soul and serve people as spiritual food, helping them to become happier and kinder to others and to themselves.

Horny Anna, student of I.A. Suyazova

Essay 3

Real art, in my opinion, is the depiction of reality in artistic images. These are those works of painting, literature, architecture, which reflect the inner world of man. Real art is not created for the sake of fame and money, it's just a way to express your thoughts and feelings. I will give examples to support what has been said.

T. Tolstoy's text raises the problem of choosing between two types of art. The heroine from childhood tried to fall in love with the theater, as she was "told". She understood that the theater was a temple, but not for her. She, like most people, enjoyed the cinema, because everything is perfect on the screen, and the theater does not hide imperfections. The author wanted to express her opinion about contemporary art: "The theater is for adults, cinema is for children."

Since I did not manage to visit the audience in the theater, I prefer cinema. A lot of both old and modern films have influenced my worldview, my life. Another advantage of cinema is that you can watch it at any time. One such film that made a deep impression on me is The Green Mile. This is a film about humanity, it makes you think a lot. At the heart of this work is love for the world and all living things. The film really teaches to see the soul of a person, not to judge people by external impressions, superficially.

Thus, I proved that, whatever art, it should bring people pleasure, morally educate. Real art plays an important role in the life of every person, because it introduces us to everything beautiful.

Text 5. T. Tolstaya. Cinema (story from the cycle "Small Things", coll. "River")

(1) As a child, I tried very, very hard to love the theater, as I was told: after all, this is Great Art, the Temple. (2) And I, as expected, should feel awe, but at the same time remember that there are theatrical conventions in the theater. (3) I remembered, but when an elderly uncle in a camisole with puffy sleeves, with a large velvet belly swaying over thin legs, menacingly, like a class teacher, asked: “Tell me, Laura, what year are you?” - and the overweight aunt barked in response: "Eighteen years old!" - terrible confusion and shame crushed me, and all my efforts to love the theater were finally crossed out.

(4) Meanwhile, it was warm in the theater, the hall smelled pleasant and complex, smart people walked in the lobby, the windows were wrapped in parachute silk curtains, like cumulus clouds. (5) Yes, the temple. (6) Probably. (7) But this is not my temple, and the gods in it are not mine.

(8) But it’s a completely different matter - the Ars cinema, an inferior shed on the square. (9) There are uncomfortable wooden seats, they sit there in coats, there is garbage on the floor. (10) There you will not meet “inveterate theater-goers”, dressed-up ladies, offended in advance by the fact that they, decent people, are forced to spend three hours in the company of ignorant profane people. (11) There the crowd tumbles in and sits down, rattling their seats and spreading the sour smell of damp coats. (12) Now they will begin. (13) This is happiness. (14) This is a movie.

whistled, shouted, applauded! (5) And the musician kept blowing recklessly into
your saxophone!

dog. (8) I have a dachshund, the name is Keith ...
- (9) Can you imagine? Uncle Zhenya said. - (10) He this music
writes on the go.
(11) That's for me. (12) The most interesting thing is when you play and don't
you know what will happen next. (13) Keith and I too: I strum the guitar
and sing, he barks and howls. (14) Of course, without words - why should we
Whale of the word?
- (15) Andryukha, it's decided! cried Uncle Zhenya. - (16) Learn jazz!

(18) Jazz, of course, is great, but here's the catch: I can't sing alone.
(19) Only with Keith. (20) For Keith, singing is everything, so I took it from
yourself for an audition.
(21) Keith, having eaten boiled sausage from the refrigerator, walked in a wonderful
mood. (22) How many songs raged in us with him, how many
hope!

(23) But my joy vanished when it turned out that with dogs in
House of Culture is not allowed.
(24) I entered the audition room without Keith, took the guitar, but did not
could start, even if you crack! .. (25) You don’t fit, they told me. -
(26) There is no rumor. (27) Keith almost died of joy when I went out.
(28) "Well?!! (29) Jazz? (30) Yes?!” - he said with all his appearance, and
his tail thumped the pavement. (31) At home I called my uncle
Zhenya.
- (32) I have no hearing, - I say. - (33) I don't fit.
- (34) Rumor is nothing, - said Uncle Zhenya with contempt. -
(35) Just think, you can't repeat someone else's melody. (36) You
You sing like no one has ever sung before you. (37) This is jazz!
(38) Jazz is not music; jazz is a state of mind.
(39) Putting down the phone, I made a croaking sound from the guitar.
(40) Whale howled. (41) Against this background, I depicted the ticking of a clock and screams
seagulls, and Keith - the whistle of a locomotive and the whistle of a steamboat. (42) He knew how
lift my weakened spirit. (43) And I remembered how creepy I was
frost when Keith and I chose each other at the Bird Market...

Read the statements about art carefully.

F.M.Dostoevsky
Art is such a need for a person as it is and
drink. The need for beauty and creativity that embodies
her, is inseparable from a person, and without her, a person, perhaps,
wouldn't want to live in the world."
L.N. Tolstoy
Art is one of the means of uniting people.
W. Goethe
We need an artist even in the moment of the greatest happiness
and the greatest disaster.
Write an essay conclusion
answering the question: “How would
our life without art?

True art is a work of generally recognized artistic value. In order to reveal this concept in the best possible way, the Wise Litrecon uses examples from the literature, which always help him express his thought. It is to you, dear readers, that he dedicated his next collection.

  1. F.M. Dostoevsky, "Poor people". The heroine of the work, Varenka Dobroselova, often corresponds with her patron Makar Devushkin and notices that he is not at all developed. If he reads, then it is second-rate literature, devoid of the charm of genuine art. Then she advises him the books of N.V. Gogol and A.S. Pushkin. After that, even the reader himself sees how Makar has changed: he has become more interesting to write and feel deeper. Only true creativity can transform a person.
  2. I.S. Turgenev, "Singers". The narrator witnessed a competition of singers in a tavern. One of them sang clear and loud, many thought that he would win. However, the second performer sang hoarsely and drawlingly, but so soulfully and warmly that he made the listeners feel every note. There is no doubt that this is the real art - to awaken genuine emotions in the public.
  3. ON THE. Nekrasov, "Elegy". The famous poet has repeatedly touched on the topic of art. In his opinion, it should not be sweet-voiced and soft, but honest and uncompromising. “I dedicated the lyre to my people,” he wrote. Real creativity is always dedicated to people and serves them, but not the interests of a particular class, but the whole society.
  4. N.V. Gogol, "Portrait". The protagonist of the story was a gifted painter, but greed and a thirst for luxury pushed him onto the path of an artisan: he began to make paintings to order. In each of them, he went against the truth and against himself, doing what the customers want from him. In the end, he realized that he had lost his talent, because real art is always free and sublime, it does not obey the philistine taste of the crowd.
  5. N.V. Gogol, Dead Souls. In lyrical digressions, the narrator argues that writers are divided into two categories: some write what people want to read, while others write the truth. Some flatter the world and receive its recognition, others become victims of those who do not want to see the truth and hide from it. Judging by the tone of his reasoning, the author considered the real art to be precisely that literature that contains truthful, albeit critical, food for thought.
  6. A.S. Pushkin, "Eugene Onegin". The heroine of the novel was distinguished by her erudition and taste in the choice of literature.

  8. M.A. Bulgakov, The Master and Margarita. Real art is always aimed at eternity, it does not take into account the present, so it is often not recognized during the life of the creator. Bulgakov portrayed a similar example: Masters who wrote a really talented thing are buried alive in a lunatic asylum. He is not accepted and condemned only because his book did not fit into the tight ideological framework. But the author proves by this example that genuine creativity will survive the persecution and remain for centuries.

So the author showed that people cannot always understand real art, which is out of the ordinary and frightens the layman.
