Visual Artistic Vision between Rational and Emotional Tendency

Abstract

The research is based on a comparative study relating to the analysis of the

dimensions of the two tendencies (rational and emotional) in art works

across different stages in the history of art, thus highlighting the most important question about the nature of this human intellectual process shared by humanity.

These two tendencies have taken different forms of art depending on each age, and some kind of range between (rational) and (emotional) has made the richest intellectual and artistic process at each stage, and it has become important to stop with examples in art history to look more for the impact of these two tendencies in the final artistic product in search of new provisions in the creative subject.

The comparison came at different stages, including: art in primitive man, and later arts that responded to religious influences, to a comparison between classical and romantic schools, and these tendencies in the modern and post-modern period were defined in a special analytical method. The features of the two tendencies were studied at each stage, in search of aesthetic value. There were haunted examples of a kind of emotion that clearly showed (emotional tendency), and other acts that were categorically oriented towards (rational tendency), and at certain stages the artwork combined both tendencies.

All of this is aimed at opening up broader prospects in understanding and tasting the creative process. Finally, let us conclude the aesthetic value criterion in reading based on the perspective of the two tendencies (emotional and rational) and their transformations in each artwork depending on the effect of the stage, style and technique.
