What is the color in art and life?

In original and original works of art (this is especially clearly reflected in the painting), of course, there are their own color characteristics that distinguish one masterpiece from another. Among connoisseurs and art critics one of the merits of any painting is wealth and mutual consistency of the color scale. And here we come close to the question: "What is coloring?"

In painting

The very concept comes from the Latin word "color" (color). What is coloring? We can say that this is the color structure of the work, the richness and consistency of colors that we can visually identify. Color is an important component and tool for creating an artistic image, a means of expression in art. It helps to convey the feelings of the artist and his mood. According to the varieties, the color is warm and cold, dark or light. A good sense of color is an invaluable gift for creativity. Many famous Russian artists - world classics already - perfectly mastered this feeling. Vivid examples are paintings by Aivazovsky and Vrubel, Repin and Surikov, Shishkin and Korovin.

In music

What is color in music, which is one of the arts? Here this concept is used, as a rule, when they want to emphasize that the product (or this or that episode) has some kind of emotional coloring. This is achieved by using different timbres, registers, unusual sounding of rare instruments and similar musical tricks.

In the photo

This concept is one of the most important in the art of photography. This pictorial means is used by the artist-photographer for the best transfer of the deep content of the images. The basis is the colors and tonality, skillfully selected texture and lighting. Used often reception - the color organization of the object being photographed (when creating an artistic photograph). The direction of the light stream, light and shade, and the contrast of illumination are estimated. Perhaps, therefore, these highly artistic pictures of famous photographers are quoted no less than picturesque canvases.

In a figurative sense

What is the color in Russian? Under it often understand the originality of someone or something, a feature more or less clearly pronounced. Thus, you can determine the mass of manifestations and properties of objects and animated characters (and not only in works of art, but also in everyday communication). For example: "Bright color of our century" or "This character has his own, special color." As we see, this concept goes beyond the narrow special understanding and becomes, as it were, a popular, often used word.

National character

In the same context, you can also consider this phrase. How can we determine what is national color? Probably, this is what distinguishes one nation from another, one people or nationality from others. Under this notion, customs, clothing, talk, and cultural heritage of a particular nation are also included. As a rule, it manifests itself best in national costumes, folk music, works of applied art, dances and songs. So, everyone knows, for example, Russian dances, Ukrainian embroidered, Scottish kilt. All these are features of a certain national color. And in art works and art objects, it can also manifest itself at the will of the author of the masterpiece: consciously or spontaneously. Here artfully created folk color, built into the general outline of the work, gives it additional artistic colors (provided that a natural harmonious implantation takes place). In the opposite case, an overly used image tool undermines the artistic value of the work itself.
