Communication

Summary: The relation between art and reality in the 20th century. Protagonists in iconography of painting and sculpture and their content considering the place and time.

Keywords: totalitarianism-freedom, masses-individual, fiction-reality, general idea-detail

Research goals: To answer the question who were the protagonists of the 20th century arts based on the iconography of the works of art. In the up to date, contemporary art there is no public commision from the society as a whole, authors themselves freely choose the iconographic motifs the fact that makes their choice more interesting. Social commision exists in the totalitarian societies, with the prescribed iconography, out of which the smallest number of works appear that could be really named as artistic, or there are none. On the basis of the detailed analysis of the selected works of European art the author proves that the art although apparently abstract reveals the deepest layers of the reality.
