декоративно-прикладное искусство (Occupying that tenuous space between fine art and the everyday, functional art refers to aesthetic objects that serve utilitarian purposes. The genre is remarkably inclusive: it encompasses everything from furniture and lighting to dishes and even books. While the terms "fine" or "high" art typically apply to works that carry an intellectual and emotional sensibility alongside a dose of old-fashioned beauty, functional art infuses these aesthetic ideals into things that you might never have expected to view as art, like, say, a switchblade.  artspace.com Alexander Demidov); прикладное искусство (Functional art is something which is both beautiful and useful. Functional art lets us bring incredible works of creativity and beauty into our everyday lives. Functional Art creates unique & individual pieces of art that fulfil one of life’s purposes, at the same time as being an aesthetic feature to enjoy. Most pieces draw on the organic forms of nature, blending & complementing the environment, rather than overpowering it. com.au Alexander Demidov) |
