Yakimovich, A. K. ‘Free-lance Artist’ and the ‘Miracle of Art’. Myths of Art Historians and the Problem of Comprehension of Art Work.

Abstract: Every time we deal with art, we intuitively feel that true artists are free in their creation activity. Expression ‘free-lance artist’ has a mythological meaning (‘this is an indefensible and often repeated fantasy’) and the concept of the ‘miracle of art’ contains a mythological meaning of the other kind. Suggestion that we are strongly influenced by art just because it represents ideas, beliefs and world view of the other epochs and cultures seems rather doubtful. In the sphere of art we can understand and explain many things or almost everything except for one thing: why a master-piece is a master-piece and why it has such a powerful influence on us, our minds and spirits. This is the only thing we never understand about art but this is the essence of art itself.
