Art and reality

Abstract

Aesthetics raises the question - Is the relationship between art and
reality based on the relationship between the imaginary world in the
works of art and the ”real” world? In the relationship between art and
reality, the engaged artist is tasked with witnessing the truth in the
language of art. The avant-garde/engaged artists test the foundations
of their own existence. The question/s of the relationship between art
and reality is/are reduced to the dimension of freedom. The artist does
not hesitate to turn his ”primary engagement” into his own ”self-selection”.
Engaged artists of the 20th century do not stop at basing their
works of art on primarily aesthetic and artistic values, but regard
political, cultural and existential values as primary. Their rebellion
and demand for revaluation of the existing values had a wide echo.
Engaged artists of the 20th and 21st century, in their broad artistic
expression, seemed to be guided by the idea, “I rebel therefore I exist“.
