What are art symbols

Art symbol is one of the symbol systems. Art symbols refer to art images, such as literary images, music images, dance images, and painting, sculpture, photography and other art images; their referent is the "human feelings" expressed by the art image, or "meaning". Artistic image, as the referent of artistic symbol, is usually a symbol, that is to say, it itself has a binary relationship of referent and denotation, and then give it a denotation, such a symbol can be regarded as the second system of symbols. Art symbols can be divided into three categories: (1) visual art symbols, such as painting, sculpture, architecture, etc.; (2) auditory art symbols, such as music; (3) visual aural art symbols, such as dance, theater and film.

The du wholeness of artistic symbols and artistic symbols is the same, zhi is therefore not dao decomposition. Artistic symbols zhuan not be shu consciously grasped, not be expressed in symbols, it only exists in artistic understanding. As the phenomenological aesthetician Dufkheimer said, "Art does have a rune, but this rune is neither definite nor strict, especially since it works only in the surroundings of the aesthetic reality, within the experience of the spectator and the behavior of the creator." Every artistic image can be described as a symbol or system of symbols with a specific meaning. In order to understand the work of art, one must understand the artistic image; and in order to understand the artistic image, one must understand the artistic symbols that make up the artistic image. These are two aspects of one thing. Therefore, the problem of symbols of art is not to be neglected for both art creation and art appreciation. Undoubtedly, art semiotics should become an integral part of modern art theory. In the contemporary form of art theory, it is very difficult to grasp the laws of art creation and appreciation, linguistic phenomenon and non-linguistic phenomenon from different sides by leaving the exposition of art language and its communication from the perspective of semiotics, the special role of symbols in art and the study of creation, and the revelation of the dual structure of symbols in various cultural systems.
