| Summary: | The only adequate way to approach a great work of art is by considering the fact that it has been made by a human and for other humans. Vermeer's masterpiece, The Art of Painting, offers a good example of how a work of art is more than an historical or cultural artifact. It is a master piece with multiple layers of meaning, and an instance of the power of art to transcend the material world. Vienintelis tinkamas būdas didžiam meno darbui nagrinėti--tai suvokti, kad jis buvo sukurtas žmogaus žmonėms. Vermeerio šedevras "Tapymo menas" ("The Art of Painting")--tai puikus įrodymas, kad meno darbas yra daugiau nei istorinis ar kultūrinis artefaktas. Tai--šedevras su daugybe prasmių bei pavyzdys, kaip menas gali peržengti materialųjį pasaulį. |
