1. MEANINGS OF THE ARTISTIC IMAGES

Visual characteristics images will allow us to know how they are made. Meanings of images will allow us to know what they are trying to communicate. MEANING AND SIGNIFIER The meaning is the real or symbolic sense that could be given by a visual message. This term is always connected to the signifier (the visual content of the image)

A gesture, an image or a sign are meaningless in themselves. So, to make a group of visual elements meaningful it is necessary to set an agreement, or rules of conduct between the issuer and the receiver.

MEANING OF AN ART WORK The Arnolfinis marriage by Jan Van Eyck. Meanings

Giovanni de Arrigo: he is a very rich Italian trader settled in Brujas. He represents the snooty part of the marriage. Jeanne Cennani: she comes too from a rich family and her marriage was a previous agreement. Hand: he seems to bless and this could mean he is a moral authority. Their hands: she led him to take her hand firmly, and this shows an aspect from that society. Oranges: oranges were a really luxurious product on that time, so they mean the high social position of the marriage. Bed: it means the culmination of marriage: life and death. And also at the head of the bed there is a carved relief which represents a woman, a dragon an a little brush, which could be mean to Saint Martha or Saint Marguerite, both saints related to home. Rug: It comes from Anatolia so as very rich product means high social position. Barefoot: They are barefoot which means a fertility symbol. Pair of clogs: There are two pair of clogs all over the floor. This means celebration of a religious ritual. And both pair of shoes means fertility. Lamp: it has got only a lighted candle which means it was their first day as a Flemish marriage. Stomach: some authors affirm that she is pregnant but she only picks up her dress which actually means that she desires to get pregnant. According to the history of the family, they didnt have childrens. Mirror: this is an original artistic resource. It was used to avoid bad luck. In this mirror we can find the 14 stations(stops) of the Via Crucis which gives a religious sense to the image. Rosary: this was an often gift between marriages and means the devout attitude of the woman. Attention to details: the Flemish painting is known by its high level of detail and delicacy. Dress of the woman is a good example.

DENOTATION AND CONNOTATION OF THE IMAGES The denotation of an image is the objective meaning that can be taken out of that image. The connotation of images are the different subjective meanings that can be taken out of that image.

2. ARTISTIC GENRES Artistic genres are the different subjects that have been displayed throughout the history of art. STILL LIFE Belong to this genre are all those images that represent dead/stiff objects, generally those that we naturally find in kitchens, tables or old taverns. Often, those simple objects are depicted by artists under a high sensitivity, forcing us to discover a hidden beauty and revealing the variety and richness of its shapes, colours, textures and possibilities of the composition.

ART & DRAWING UNIT 8: MEANINGS OF THE ARTISTIC IMAGE.

Although generally people tent to value higher a realistic portrait than a less realistic one, the quality of a portrait is not on the faithful/accurate representation of the physical features but in the psychological captivation of the person or even in the visual characteristics of the image.
