Quotes from the book
by Vladimer Asatiani
Anato-physiology of Art
(The specific character of invariant of the structure of the artistic culture, an attempt to create a general theory of art)
“Taste is an individual feeling, striving to become a common representation.
Myth is a collective representation that manifests itself as a degree of artistic sensitivity, emotional identity of an individual.
The dialectics of these two principles, as an invariant, lies at the basis of the structure of art, representing a factor of the integration of the creative personality with the sphere of artistic culture as a whole.
Although, instead of the term "integration" in this context, it is more preferable to use the paraphrasis - "twinning".
If you are related to art, then gone with the wind by the turmoil of time - ashes from the bonfires of the Avant-garde, as well as the dust from the postmodernism waxworks, will not chafe your throat and tickle your nostrils causing a grimace, which is usually considered - as a sign of rebellious contempt or as the irony of wisdom, and you will find that unique, exciting tranquility that only art can give, those who are close to it.”
“Art not only reflects the reality of the external world and expresses the content of our inner world, but also transforms them into its own reality; at the same time the reality of art not copy, but also not alienated from the reality of life, but completes it.
Path – is the unity, the unity - of wayfarer, of the soil and of our tracks on the road;
Wayfarer - the artist;
Soil - life, nature, reality, existence;
Traces - artistic creation;
Art is - the way in general;
Art as a way - by means of what and in which we are moving, that motivates us and moves itself with us, passing through the space of existence;
Art - the way, but at the same time the satellite for itself and us;
The road and those who walks - companions.”
"Perhaps the whole pathos of this work consists not only in building the theory of the system of art as a form of consciousness, but also by defining the foundations of this system (taste and myth as principles of art in their dialectics) in determining the status of art as an original, self-sufficient phenomenon beyond its reducing exclusively to the object or subject, to society or individual. Art is neither a sum nor a reflection of the consciousness of others, but in fact - and in this lies the personalistic intonation of the prolegomena of this work - an independent Essence! Art is not a parallel reality, in which one removed to abandon the routine of everyday existence, but a unique form of spiritual realization, the realization of the versatility of being itself. Art is a sphere of spiritual and material activity in which there is no imitation of organic phenomena or adaptation to natural phenomena of paints, stone, metal, sound, etc., but giving them life. Creativity, in essence, first of all, is the process of revitalizing matter, this is a cycle of translating artistic material into “artistic flesh”, in the course of creating works of art.”
