What Art means to Me

What Art means to Me

In my opinion, the nineteenth century and the twentieth century have distorted the meaning of the word art unjustifiably, while making it clear that my speech is a painter, I am neither a linguist nor a philosopher. I speak because I see so many young people choosing to study art as brought to drawing and painting and at the end of the studies did not even draw and paint. They learn to do provocation.

By studying the history of art it is understood that the term “art” means “order”, it is said “Doric art” or “Doric” you say “Corinthian” to say “Corinthian art.” Today the word “order” we prefer the word “style”, this since the second half of the eighteen hundred you wanted that art was like music, then, the word “style” that was created to designate the order of writing , which had evolved by designating the order of the sounds, it was passed to designate the order of the shapes.

The consequence of this led Ghiberti to write a book of art history where, for the first time in history, they were together painting, sculpture and architecture. The following centuries this set of disciplines accepted as representative of the whole art. By this I mean that art history as the history of painting, sculpture and architecture had a beginning and it was right that he had a purpose.
