Abstract

The author analyzes the tendency of artistic perception to interpret abstract art forms in the search for mimetic equivalents and visual similarities in the surrounding world objects. One can see certain patterns in this process: there are tendencies towards constant complication of anthropologically significant elements of the visual form. The author reveals the consistent character of the discovery of new lines of perception, from the simplest perceptual stimuli endowed with anthropic properties to refined art objects found in unique plastic contexts each time. The significance of the topic is determined by the relevance of such tendencies in the fine arts of the XX-XXI centuries, which demonstrate great plastic potential to convey anthropological meanings, including existential ones.
