    Ugly Art

    – There is nothing that may be considered an improper subject for


    an artwork. The grotesque, the ugly, and the tragic are all
    legitimate subjects as much as the pleasurable and the beautiful
    are.

    – A good number of artworks are concerned with pain and evil.


    Some of the greatest plays are invariably tragedies and many of
    our songs are about heartbreaks and grief.
    – The tragedy that is human cruelty is caused by motivations that
    the greatest works of arts, including theatre, film, literature and
    painting, help us understand was that ideology and analogy
    cannot.

    is that each of us has suffers grief, frustration, loss and sadness
    one way or another.

    Tragedy in Art
    Subject
    and
    Content

    Jessamine Ann D. Degala


    Subject

    The subject of art refers to any person, object, scene, or event


    described or represented in the artwork. Some arts have subjects,
    others do not. The arts that contain subject are called
    representational or objective arts while those that does not have
    subject are known as non-representational or non-objective arts.
    Representational Arts
    Non-representational Arts
    Content

    – While the subject refers to the objects depicted by the artists,


    content refers to what the artist expresses or communicates in the
    whole of his artwork. Sometime it is spoken of as the meaning of
    the work.

    – In literature, it is called the theme.


    – We may describe it as the statement, feeling or mood that we
    experience with the work of art. A person does not always see the
    content.
    – Without the direct communication of the artist, the audience must
    decipher the artist’s thought by observing the work’s subject and
    form. It is easier to grasp the content in arts with direct subject
    matter than those of the abstract arts.
    Factual Meaning

    – Factual meaning is the literal statement or the narrative content in


    the artwork which can be directly apprehended because the
    object presented are easily recognized. This meaning is often
    supplemented by other levels of meaning.
    Conventional Meaning
    – This refers to the special meaning that a certain object or color has
    for a particular culture or group of people. For example, the flag is
    the representation of one’s nation or the Cross is a symbol of
    Christianity.
    Subjective Meaning

    – The subjective meaning is any personal meaning consciously or


    unconsciously conveyed by the artist using a private symbolism
    which stems from his own association of certain objects, actions,
    or colors with past experiences. This can be fully understood only
    when the artist explains what s/he really means. Otherwise, it
    tends to be interpreted differently by each viewer or reader with
    the light of his or her own experiences.
