(162 words) Art is traditionally understood as a way of spiritual self-realization of a person through sensually expressive means.
An example of real art and its impact on people is described by Valentina Oseeva in the text. The main character Dink comes to visit her friends - the shoemaker Yakov and his son Ioska. The family does not live well. But, when Jacob begins to play the violin, Dinka forgets everything and no longer pays attention to the unpretentious situation. The sounds of a musical instrument fill the space, respond in the souls of listeners, and they discover the magical world of music. With the help of art, you can even talk with those who are not nearby, for example, with Ioska’s mother, skillfully depicted in a large portrait. Thus, Jacob expressed his feelings for his dead wife.
N.V. Gogol has repeatedly written about art. Everyone knows the work “Portrait”, which describes the cleansing and destructive power of creativity. Under the mystical influence of the skillfully painted portrait, Chartkov lost his talent, but the master who created it found healing in ascetic creation.
So, art can really be considered one of the areas of spiritual self-realization of people and a great force that can change fate.
Movie example: In the series of V. Furman "Mysterious Passion" tells the story of poets of the sixties. They were famous for their ability to compose such verses that people, passing by, involuntarily stopped and listened. These works were topical and at the same time surprisingly beautiful, in keeping with the spirit of the times. Therefore, they were so enthusiastically received by representatives of the intelligentsia. Poets could, with the help of poems, declare their rejection of the existing social system.
Life example: Renata Litvinova makes an auteur movie that is unlikely to ever be seen on the big screen. This is an example of the attitude to cinema, as to art, intended not for profit, but for demonstrating moral problems, negative phenomena, and people's capabilities. Author's films allow you to think about eternal values.
Media example: Recently I read the story of a sculptor from the Lipetsk region. He created more than a hundred exhibits for the village museum with his own hands. Today this museum is one of the most visited places by tourists. The author of the works, using his own created exhibits, tells the history of the Soviet Union and modern Russia, gives biographies of great people, such as Mikhail Bulgakov. Such an example of art confirms how important the role of literature, cinema, and painting can play in the fate of each of us.
