Realistic and conditional space painting in the context of an artistic image

The purpose of the article is to analyze, identify the general and particular in the organization of the compositional space of painting for the most accurate display of the artistic image in the visual arts. The analysis of the main types of space in the composition is given; a fundamental division into realistic and conditional space is proposed in solving the artistic image of fine art; the concept of an artistic image is defined and the main means of conveying its expressiveness in composition are identified. The article discusses the basic concepts, techniques and principles of organizing space on the picture plane in the visual arts. It is determined that the compositional features of the organization of three-dimensional space are due to the use of linear, inverse, perceptual, spherical and light-air perspectives of building both its individual elements and the entire structure of the composition of a work of art. The role of space in the creation of an artistic image within the framework of realistic and conditional painting is analyzed. The authors of the article came to the conclusion that the principles and methods of working on realistic and conditional composition have both common and particular. The general techniques for creating a compositional space include the basic laws of composition, such as the organization of the center, balance, rhythm, movement, statics, nuance and identity, as well as the stetho-air perspective. The use of the laws of various types of perspective differs (for a realistic solution of an artistic image and space of a composition, linear, perceptual perspectives are used; for a conditional solution of a composition, reverse, spherical perspectives and axonometric methods of constructing a form in space are used). The ways of working with color and shape also differ.
