In no dictionary can you find an exact definition of what art is. This term has English roots, but despite this, in its original form it has firmly taken root in the everyday vocabulary of Russian people. When using this word in Russia they imply creativity. You can understand what art is in the so-called visual example as follows: the phrase “art group” can often be rephrased into “creative group”. Similar English words very quickly enter into our everyday everyday life, and among those we can distinguish "kitsch", "bow" and so on.
So, the art style is represented in two directions: pop art and art deco. What is a pop art style? Translated means "popular art." Visual images, the combination of the real and the illusory, are inherent in the style of pop art in interior design.
The rooms in this style are characterized by podiums, curtains, ledges on the surface of the floor in pastel colors, many mirrors, graphics and paintings. Night lamps and lamps are unusual, made of car tires or covered with bright material. Colors in bright, rich and provocative colors - in poisonous green or pink. The walls are painted with bright paint, each wall has its own color.
Another art deco trend came from France. The elements of Art Nouveau, Cubism, Expressionism are combined in this style of art, and they have received a new artistic imagery. This style is presented in bright colors, expressive forms. He is very popular with designers. At first, art deco was only one of the areas of drawing and illustration, but then it completely became the genre of room decoration and furniture design. In this case, you can understand what art is by looking at architecture, interior, precious jewelry, painting, sculpture. All of them were influenced by this new style of the 20th century.
The term "art gallery" (from French galerie, from it. Galleria) is a synonym for the word museum in this case. She is involved in exhibiting, storing, studying and promoting works of art. The first such museums appeared in the late 90s of the 19th century. An example is the Tretyakov Gallery.
At the moment, with an increased interest in art, galleries, in addition to exhibiting, are engaged in restoration, examination, advertising, commercial activity, that is, selling.
Combining all the definitions, we can say that the art gallery is an art and cultural institution that is engaged in cultural and educational work among the population. Galleries differ from city museums in that they take on the role of covering and resolving issues that are not within the competence of large state social institutions.
Today, only "free", that is, commercial art museums can boldly cover all aspects of art propaganda. And many types of galleries (there were galleries of light, glass, ceramics) make it possible to satisfy the artistic taste of art lovers and visitors to such institutions in full. In the galleries you can see the works of not only famous, but also young, just beginning artists. The most pleasant thing is that there was an opportunity to not doubt the professional level of the artist, the authenticity of the exhibit, and now you can buy your favorite work of art. Galleries at the same time acquaint visitors with the fashionable trends of contemporary art, help to understand what art is, and educate the artistic taste of people.
