Knowing The Distinction Of Figurative And Genre Art

By Enid Hinton


One of the most noble thing to do is to create art. It is because you are trying to create something that is beautiful. It is one of the most celebrated fields today. According to experts, you can never put a value on something as valuable as the effort of a person. And that is why you will see that the prices of artworks will never be less.

If you are an artist, you would know that there are different types of techniques or method used to create a piece. The categories to where an art belongs might be confusing because the meaning that it is trying to portray can also be a basis of categorization. Two of the most well known types 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.

On the other hand the genre art types are those that could be made out of the imagination of the artist. They may look the same when it comes to the finished product. But the these types signify an important part of the history while the those that belong to the genre types can be unreal.

The time element is always present when it comes to those that are made from the figurative concept. You can observe that most of the images try to showcase a particular event from long ago. This is usually a very historical moment that needs to be remembered.

Another thing that can be noticed is the clever mix of an intellectual concept with a common form of art. For example, the gods and goddesses in Greece where created to show a precise work for geometry and proportions. It is very difficult to achieve the perfect balance, thus they are pieces that are still celebrated up to this day.

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.

Genre paintings and other artworks are another branch in this field. What makes it very popular is because it represents the daily life of a person. It can be used to document what is going on in a daily basis.

But it is not only for human activities. It also applies to what happens in other places such as underwater and in the forest. This can be considered as trying to capture the scenery. That is why you can also hear that it is also known to be scene arts or painting. This is the type of art that was on the rise when the average people were already aware of the presence of art and they have started procuring it.
