So where can one go to determine the true essence of painting as an art? How can one define it? Is it the artists depiction of their soul on a canvas that creates the masterpiece?
Is it technical skill and classical styles that create the great masterpieces or just common earthly beauty depicted through the artists vision? These questions have reverberated throughout history
and now they plague us again.

ART has not always been what we think it is today. An object regarded as Art today may not have been perceived as such when it was first made, nor was the person who made it necessarily regarded as
an artist. Both the notion of `art` and the idea of the `artist` are relatively modern terms.

Many of the objects we identify as art today — Greek painted pottery, medieval manuscript illuminations, and so on — were made in times and places when people had no concept of `art` as we
understand the term. These objects may have been appreciated in various ways and often admired, but not as `art` in the current sense.

ART lacks a satisfactory definition. It is easier to describe it as the way something is done — `the use of skill and imagination in the creation of aesthetic objects, environments, or experiences
that can be shared with others`rather than what it is.

In an abstract work of art the artistic content depends on internal form rather than pictorial representation. In its pure form, it can be interpreted as any art in which the depiction of real
objects has been entirely discarded and its aesthetic content expressed in a formal pattern or structure of shapes, lines and colors. When the representation of real objects is completely absent, such art may
be called non-objective.

Contemporary art can sometimes seem at odds with a public that does not feel that art and its institutions share its values. In Britain in the 1990s contemporary art became a part of popular culture, with artists
becoming stars, but this did not lead to a hoped for `cultural utopia`. However, some critics like Julian Spalding and Donald Kuspit have become public advocates and suggest that skepticism, even rejection, is
a legitimate and reasonable response to much contemporary art.

In the modern age of the avant-garde and abstract art it is at times difficult to see the basis on the highest teachings. Some believe that the artists mental well-being plays a
large roll. Perhaps dome of out chaotic painting today is caused by the fact that many of the specialized artists are stunted human beings.

It is also mentioned that an artist should not try using the traditional elements all at once in the hopes of creating a great work of art. The work should unify in its style and mood;
and both such values should fit the artist`s individual personality.

It is also believed that the art of the past generations and eras are the building blocks for the preceding movement. If all of these theories were true, painting would become one large
contradiction. Maybe it already is?

Painting has gone through many shifts over the centuries and the only obvious similarity is that all involve some type of pigment on a surface and even that varies from time to time.
If we rely on the theories and philosophies of the old masters we can not accept the majority of 20th century art.

Painting only can describe everything which can be seen and suggest every emotion which can be felt! Art reaches back into the babyhood of time, and is man`s only lasting
monument! (William Hunt, Talks About Art)

Painting has existed as an artistic tradition for thousand of years. From the cave painting of Lascaux to the great, masterpieces of Da Vinci it has played a historical and
aesthetic role in the different ages of existence. Schools of painting were developed as well as many various texts discussing the art form. Mural painting and fresco launched
the theory painting into classical societies. Out of this came the development of several styles of painting. Historical, allegorical, religious, portraiture, landscape and still
life are all different forms of painting that have developed over the years.

Although these are generally accepted themes for artistic painting the components that determine its value aesthetically ate varies. In different time periods the values of true art
shift, even with its alterations, the general guideline still remains. It has been said that there is no one distinction that results in a successful painting.

As a known fact oil painting is the most preferred mode of painting by most of the artists as well as the painting fans. The probable reason why it
is enjoyed and loved by most of the people is because of the deep and beautiful colors present and the attractiveness which the picture brings to the room when it is hung.
Oil paintings have greater scope of being framed beautifully, unlike other forms that do not lent themselves to be framed with metaphorical frames that enhance and add an
additional point of attraction to the paintings.
