Art has existed for so many years in different countries with different cultures. It is something that has made our world more beautiful than its actual appearance. It has also inspired people to lead a fruitful life. It might be used as a profession or a hobby for some, but for all of us, it is a magical gift. It has always been in our senses for each of us is a masterpiece.
Historical evidences pointed out that even prehistoric people started showing their creative side by painting on caves. With all of its changes and experimentation, it has indeed come a long way. Painting is one of its most popular genres that inspired a number of artists to think of a new form like the figurative and genre art. It mainly deals with artworks that show something out of the real world. It uses models which are found on our daily life. It is the reason why it is often called as representational art. It represents something that exists in the real world. It is a great experiment of combining imagination and reality.
Questions about its history and origin were raised since time immemorial. It started on the centuries ago and continues to inspire modern artists. It actually came from abstraction when artists started gaining a significant amount of respect from subjects in the real world. Some people consider it as a variation of abstraction, but there are others who believed that it is present even before abstract art exists.
It is often confused with other forms particularly in abstraction. That is because some of their characteristics overlap with each other. But what everyone must know is that the later was part of the development of figuration. What draws the line between is that figuration contains real life models while the abstraction does not.
Abstraction is characterized by distortions and ideas. Figuration on the other hand represents live figures such as humans. It always attempts to depict a specific scene which is common in the society. It is also characterized by constant used of depth and shading.
The Spanish painter Pablo Picasso is considered as one of the greatest painter of the figurative genre. Lines and colors that contained energetic human movements are evident in his works. They always attempt to draw something which is specific and present on the real world.
The thirty two Campbell Soup Cans is his most notable painting. It is one of the artworks that ushered figuration in the United States. It is composed of the various canned soup produced by its company. The technique and style he utilized for the work made it a giant success.
What made him more influential is his assertion on the Surrealism movement. It was a revolutionary and an avant garde movement that influenced visual works and literature. It aims to express an existing idea with the help of illogical scenes.
Today, artists of many schools begin experimenting on the genre. It is also used in different purposes such as showing the cultural value of the time where a work is made. It also influenced other forms of art such as photography.
