Trends in Contemporary Ceramic Art and the Overlapping of Stylistic Concepts (Installation Art and Assemblage as a Model)

Contemporary arts have achieved, in accordance with the transition of concepts, a new logic in presentation and expression in general, and specifically in the field of ceramic art. The shift towards the logic of rejection and subversion of prevailing methods, which have been almost a constant foundation for a long period, has directly influenced the direction of visual arts in the contemporary world. The growth and cultural transformations that the world has witnessed after the two World Wars have produced cognitive shifts based on strategies that diverge from the dominant culture. These approaches vary according to existential needs, as the language of art has become conceptual and a medium for contemporary culture with its rapid and expanding rhythm. Thus, contemporary ceramic art has encompassed a diverse range of concepts expressing a specific philosophy tied to technology and scientific progress as means that directly contribute to the development of aesthetic values and artistic formations in alignment with the culture of the era. The concepts of this art form have changed and transformed in terms of presentation style and formal outcome .There is no longer a specific definition for fixed techniques and materials. Instead, we find that contemporary potters have moved beyond the boundaries of their traditional artistic field, under the concept of assemblage , achieving a form that is not subject to homogeneity .They employ renewed presentation methods that are not limited to enclosed spaces but are open in their settings, creating a visual witness in which the artist and the recipient participate in the idea and interpretation , fostering a dialectical and intellectual discourse linked to issues subject to discussion within the inevitability of existence.

Rethinking the Goals and Values of Nanoart During the War: an Artists’ Statement

In this study, we analyze the development conditions of and trends in Ukrainian scientific art during the ongoing war with the Russian Federation. Based on our own experience, we demonstrate how the emphasis, values, and goals of scientific art shift under martial law.

New symbolism of science.” We use this example to show how trends in art, culture, and science change very quickly under critical conditions. Art during the war has military and liberation themes, while artists and scientists during the war are warriors on the cultural and scientific fronts.

VISUALIZATION OF THE SPIRITUAL THROUGH PHYSICALITY IN THE WORK BY ZINAIDA SEREBRYAKOVA “BATH”

Lately, the direction of neoclassicism in fine arts has not attracted enough attention of art researchers and other scientists. But at one time, following the instructions of this direction – improvement, humanization of the world model – inspired a number of domestic and foreign artists to create and further search for art forms. In painting, the ideas of neoclassicism were supported, in particular, by Zinaida Serebryakova and Semen Prokhorov, whose art developed in the context of the events of the first third of the 20th century precisely in Slobozhanshchyna. The article aims to show the manifestation of neoclassical trends in fine art in the works of Zinaida Serebryakova (1884–1967). The goal was to reveal the dual essence of the artist’s creativity: a persistent and conscious desire to be a classic and an instinctive attraction to experiment with the image. The article analyzes Zinaida Serebryakova’s work “Bath” (1913), highlights the significance of this canvas for her subsequent work. The desire of the artist to transform body energy into spiritual energy is shown. The problem of Serebryakova’s search for compositional solutions for further multifigure monumental compositions, such as “Harvest” (1913) and “Bleaching the canvas” (1917), is updated. Analysis of the influence of the French classicist Jean-Auguste Ingres’ (1780–1867) art on the work of Zinaida Serebryakova was carried out. Examples of the cinematographic thinking of the artist and the relevance of her work to the theme of water and the plot of bathing as one of the most common in fine art are given. The result of the study was the proof of Serebryakova’s adherence to the “formula” of neoclassicism: imitation of ancient models and desire to approach them as the highest ideal in the depiction of the naked body, while preserving an individual manner of perceiving nature. It is proven that work on “Bath” confirmed the artist, who was brought up artistically according to the aesthetics of classicism, in the further search for a “new” style, which Serebryakova repeatedly mentioned in her correspondence.

On Chinese Aesthetics of Abstract Expressionism Art

In the development trend of modern and contemporary art, abstract expressionism has occupied a decisive position in the history of art since its birth. As a representative art school in the 20th century in the West, it unexpectedly has a very distinctive artistic characteristic of China.

This paper compares the characteristics of Chinese and western artistic thoughts and the characteristics of abstract expressionism art, and explains how it has oriental artistic thoughts on the basis of world outlook.

Artistic, Commercial, and Confessional Exchanges between Venetian Crete and Western Europe: The Multiple Lives of an Icon of the Virgin and Child from Harvard Art Museums

In the collections of the Harvard Art Museums there is an icon of the Virgin and Child with Saints John the Baptist and Roch. Although a typical product of Cretan icon painting of the turn of the sixteenth century, the icon stands out from similar contemporary artworks due to its unusual subject matter and materiality. The iconographic analysis of the icon places it at the intersection of the Latin and Byzantine traditions and suggests that it was intended as a votive offering against the plague, featuring one of the earliest depictions of the anti-plague saint, Roch of Montpellier in Eastern Orthodox art. Examination of the verso of the icon further underscores the Western European associations of the panel. The presence of an elaborate incised design on the back side of the icon suggests that the wooden panel originated from a reused piece of furniture, in all probability, a fifteenth-century Italian chest. With this case study as a point of reference, this article discusses the commercial, artistic, and cross-confessional exchanges that took place in the ethnically and culturally pluralistic societies of Venice and its Mediterranean colonies, including the trans-confessional spread of cults, the dissemination of artistic trends, as well as the mutual transfer of artworks and objects of prestige, such as icons and chests.

The research revealed that the most important cultural and artistic principles of the Ukrainian national stylistics of the stage vocabulary of the modern children's musical are the reproduction of a living tradition and the author's directorial approaches to the interpretation of folklore forms.

Characteristic stylistic coloring is achieved by using authentic material, folk chants, dances, elements of traditional Ukrainian decor, creating well-known folklore images.

The development trend of music art based on content analysis method

Abstract In the Internet-mediated environment, and in the midst of the ongoing networking process, music art trends are changing accordingly. The purpose of this paper is to make an in-depth observation and reflection on this topic from a theoretical perspective. Therefore, the normalization algorithm is used as the theoretical basis to create a BN-content analysis model. Calculations show that the degree of impediment of the teaching environment to the development of row music art is 64%. And the most likely development trend of pop music is the development of pop music in the field of education, whose comprehensive development degree is 95%. This is followed by the pop music technology area, which has a combined development level of 91%. The calculation shows that music education in higher education has the highest impact with an impact factor of 1.05. This is because music education in universities and primary and secondary schools is gradually returning to the education and study of traditional Chinese music. The influence of the media sector on traditional music and art trends is 0.71. For example, the singers on the TV show “I’m a Singer” have been spreading folk music in their performances.
