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. 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.
