figurative

"Figurative art" is often defined in contrast to abstract art.The formal elements, those aesthetic effects created by design, upon which figurative art is dependent, include line, shape, color, light and dark, mass, volume, texture and perspective although it should be pointed out that these elements of design could also play a role in creating other types of imagery -- for instance abstract art, The difference is that in figurative art these elements are deployed to create an impression or illusion of form and space, and, usually, to create emphasis in the narrative portrayed. Figurative art has a branch which called genre art. Genre art is the pictorial representation in any of various media of scenes or events from everyday life, such as markets, domestic settings, interiors, parties, inn scenes, and street scenes. Many of Peter Panov paintings are to be considered a genre works.
