Understanding What Figurative And Genre Art Really Are

By Enid Hinton


A lot of people are wondering why art is very pricey especially if it is really made by someone who has made a name in the industry. This is because you can expect that their pieces are of the same caliber. And it is something that is very valuable. The value that these pieces possess can sometimes be too high that it is not attainable for the common people.

When you try to create something and it is finished, it would fall into various categories. The classification would be done through determining the methods that it was used. There are also others that is classified through knowing the purpose of creating it. But most of the time, the artwork is determined by both these factors. Two of the best examples would be figurative and genre art.

Many people would just simply say that it is an artwork. But for the expert, there will always be classifications so that they would have an objective on what they are trying to make. With the use of the classifications it would be easier to bring out the unique feature that each artwork has. For example, you can see that those which are made with figurative style are the types of images that really happened.

One of the major different between the two is that genre pieces can just be created through the use of the imagination of the artist. It can be real but it can also be something that was just imagined. It can be confusing at times because the final pieces look the same.

Figurative types are very particular. They represent a very memorable event of a specific time. And these are the pictures that are also often used to showcase the type of culture during that era. That is why the time element is a very essential feature in this type of artwork.

The figurative type is also utilized for other functions. More than just art, it shows a different type of concept. One of the best examples would be the statue of the gods in Greece. It is not just a symbol of devotion and belief to deities. It is also known to show the perfect geometric measurements of the structure.

If you are confused between the abstract arts and the figurative ones, you do not have to be. Abstracts are those works that you can barely recognized. There is an image but it would be hard to know what it is. The figurative ones are clearly defined so the images can be seen clearly.

Another branch of art would be genre types. The usual imagery that you can see are daily activities being performed. It tries to showcase the recent activities in the culture and time of today. So you can say that it aims to record what people are doing.

But the activities is just a small scope. You will also see that there are scenes being pictured. Various scenes would include those that are underwater and in the surrounding. This was made available when art was already made available for the average person.
