What are the implications of works of art? What are their characteristics?

From the perspective of the composition of artistic works, when people appreciate artistic works, they will naturally come into contact with external features such as colors, lines, sounds, words and pictures, but they are only means of artistic expression, and the purpose of artistic language and expression techniques is to shape artistic images. Or in other words, the main function of artistic language and expression is to turn the aesthetic image of the unity of subjective and objective in the artist's mind into the artistic image in the works of art. It can be seen that artistic image constitutes the second level of artistic works. From the perspective of artistic works, artistic images can be divided into visual images, auditory images, comprehensive images and literary images. They are all * * * and have their own characteristics.

Visual image refers to the artistic image directly felt by people's eyes, and the material of visual image is spatial. For example, a painting, a sculpture, a calligraphy work, a building, a photographic work, or a practical handicraft, the images in these works of art are all visual images. The visual image in art is directly put into the visual sense of the viewer, so it is particularly intuitive and vivid. This kind of artistic image often has obvious reproducibility. For example, one of the most important aesthetic characteristics of photography is documentary or reproducibility, which always shows the objective things, and the images taken are almost exactly the same as the appearance of the subject, giving people a sense of reality.

The auditory image refers to the artistic image directly felt by people's ears, and the material of the auditory image is temporal. The auditory image in art mainly refers to the image of musical works. Music, as the art of sound, has its own characteristics. It forms an artistic image that people's auditory senses can directly feel through the flow and regular changes of sound in time. Because the auditory image is ethereal and abstract, when people appreciate music works, they mainly rely on the emotional intuitive experience to grasp the musical image, which also makes the musical image uncertain, vague and hazy, which is not only the limitation of music, but also the strength of music, leaving more free space for the appreciator's associative imagination and emotional experience.

Literary image refers to the image of poetry, prose, novel and reportage. , is shaped by language as the medium. The most striking feature of literary image is indirectness. Unlike visual images or auditory images, you can see, hear and feel directly, but you must rely on language guidance and imagination to grasp. Artistic images created by painting, sculpture, architecture, dance, music, drama, film and television. They all directly affect people's senses and can be directly felt through sight, hearing and touch. The image created by literary works cannot be directly felt by human senses. It requires readers to rely on their own life experience and present a vivid image in their minds through positive association and imagination in the process of reading works.

Comprehensive image refers to drama, traditional Chinese opera, film and television art and other comprehensive arts, including visual image, auditory image and literary image. They blend into one. Therefore, the artistic images in these categories can be collectively called comprehensive images. A distinctive feature of the comprehensive image is that it often meets the audience through actors on the stage, screen or screen. Therefore, the performing arts play a very important role in shaping the comprehensive image. Because of this, many famous performing artists at home and abroad and their roles on the stage or screen have left a very deep impression in the eyes of the audience, which fully embodies the touching artistic charm of comprehensive art. At the same time, the comprehensive image also has a feature that can not be ignored, that is, it is often the crystallization of collective creation. Although the actors of drama and film and television play an important role in shaping the comprehensive image, they cannot do without the cooperation of various departments.

Although artistic images are divided into visual images, auditory images, literary images and comprehensive images, their basic characteristics are the same. As the basic form of art reflecting life, artistic image is the core of artistic works. In works of art, artistic language is to shape artistic images, and artistic images also contain artistic significance. In this sense, there is no work of art without artistic image. The artistic image has both concrete and sensible images and generality, which summarizes a wide range of life contents. The artistic image is emotional and ideological, and the artist's feelings of love and hate, sadness and joy are integrated into the artistic image, which permeates the author's thinking and evaluation of life everywhere. The artistic image also has aesthetic significance, which embodies the artist's aesthetic ideal and taste, shines with the brilliance of artistic creation, and can give viewers beautiful enjoyment.
