Yakhnin, E. D. Thoughts on Visual Art and its Perception

Abstract: The author of the article discusses the origin and role and art in a society, creators and consumers of art works and relations. Based on the author, art cannot exist without a society. The basis for perception of art is emotions. Diversity of people (their cultural level, social status, individual development and traditions) and art create contradictions in their relations, too. It is also absolutely normal to have different perceptions of artwork as art and profanation. Business and art have very little to do with the art level of the latter. One should also distinguish true art from fake crafts.
