Artistic Representation of Reality
The artistic representation of reality rests on the
same contradiction as any other reflection of reality.
The goal for all great art is to provide picture of
reality in which the contradiction between appearance and reality, the
particular and general, the immediate and the conceptual is submerged.
A sense of inseparable integrity
The universal appears as the quality of the
individual and particular
Reality becomes manifest
It can be experienced within appearance
The general principle is exposed from the individual
case.
Every work of art must present a circumscribed,
self-contained and complete context with its own immediately self-evident
movement and structure.
Special context in literature
Only the conclusion provides the full clarification
of beginning
Every work of art evolves within itself all the preconditions
for its characters, situations, events, etc.
Reader is conducted to the outcome.
The basic materialism of all great artists is partly
or completely idealistic.
Every significant work of art creates its own world;
characters, situations, actions
Illusion in any case necessary because readers’ surrender
himself to the general effect of the work of art.
Non- correspondence with reality but
non-correspondence is merely an illusion.
Readers’ reflection of reality must be broadened and
deepened.
The extensive totality of reality is beyond the
possible scope of any artistic creation.
The totality of the work of art is rather intensive;
the circumscribed.
The briefest song is as much as an intensive
totality as the mightiest epic.
In representing individual men and situations, the
artist awakens the illusion of life.
If a work of art depicted only the overflowing
abundance of new concepts, only those aspects which provide new insights, only the
subtlety beyond the common generalization about ordinary experience, then the
reader would merely be confused instead of being involved.
Active social function- the propaganda effect of
genuine work of art.
Partisanship of objectivity must be found
intensified in the work of art
The subject matter of work of art is consciously
arranged and ordered by the artist toward this goal. (Engels=tendentiousness)
The paradox in the effect of a work of art is that we surrender ourselves
to the work as though it represented
reality and immerse ourselves in it although we are always aware that it is not reality but
simply a special form of reflecting reality.
Non correspondence in this respect is the pre
condition of the artistic illusion.
Aesthetic illusion is only possible when the work of
reflects the total objective process of life with objective accuracy.
In the period of bourgeois ascendancy-
· There
was parasitic divorce of art from life
· Denial
of any objectivity in art
· A
glorification of the sovereignty of the creative individual theory of indifference
to content arbitrariness in form.
· There
should be mechanical materialism= selection of details on the basis of a
photographic correspondence with reality
· Objective
anarchy in the selection and arrangement of their material.
