Firmly considering art a human activity ’based on experience, on
quality and on particular aptitudes, on talent and on individual
ingeniousness, any critical estimations of artistic works must
necessarily take account of their development through various
periods, of their complexity with special reference to their own
stylistic expression, to the time when they were created, to
their place of origin.
However it is not sufficient to pass judgment on a work of art
simply explaining its origin or the essence of its various stylistic
forms; we need to try to understand art as an aspect of human
and social life and, particularly, to study the influence of art
on man and on society, on the artistic awareness and culture
education, on the contacts, on the civil and social conflicts that
art represents, reproduces or is ahead of.
The birth, the development and the decadency of the social
institutions of art are defined by the kinds of organization and
by the social groups, which influence artistic creations. It is not
an easy task at all, but such an approach can make possible
methodologies for a wider interpretation of a work of art with
a precise reference to human personality.
Art gives rise to and establishes new forms of behavior especially
if it is considered from the point of view of propaganda, of the
distribution, of the process of communication and of the means
of expression. Therefore it is unthinkable to study a work of art
by trying to ascertain “what is being said, who says it, to whom
and what the effects are.”
In fact art is a form of Man’s activity which is intended as a
confirmation or exaltation of his creative skill and of his capacity
of expression, therefore he modifies himself and the natural
environment according to a dramatic, ironical etc. connection
which goes with the individual or social needs of a logical or
moral nature.
Through the qualities of a work of art, criticism should find
essential the definition and realization of the nature and
originality of an artist, with a constant reference to the general
concepts of imitation, simulation and the singular artifices of
the technical and stylistic particularities. Then the investigation
and study of the aesthetical qualities of a work of art will allow
us to understand exhaustively the processes of transformation
and transfiguration of reality or of a certain ideas developed
by an artist.
