What is the difference between a real artist and an actor? Profession Artist
An actor is a person playing a role. In the cinema, theater, office, at home and away, where a person portrays an image he has invented, he is engaged in acting. The artist is a virtuoso of transformation. For anyone creative person to be an artist is to reach the pinnacle of excellence.
Theater is events in life that can be experienced every time until you realize the true essence of what is happening. Both on stage and in life!
Theater excites, pleases, shocks, inspires and helps you experience or rethink life in a new way. It helps to look at the same problem from a different angle, through the eyes of the actors, the director and society as a whole. I would even say that theater, like a good psychotherapist, heals and shows the course of events in a given situation. Precisely as a psychotherapist, and not fashionable in modern society, such a specialist as a psychologist. What is the difference? The psychologist only listens carefully and asks suggestive questions and tries to help you make the most appropriate decision for you in a given situation. The theater, on the contrary, like a good psychotherapist, clearly explains and shows the problem, as well as the possible development of events based on a specific situation. Moreover, this is shown in such an unobtrusive form, and in such a general atmosphere involvement, that a person on a subconscious level decides for himself some life problems, draws analogies with his life, better understands the behavior of people with whom he comes into contact every day. Sometimes this gives pleasure, and sometimes it shocks. It happens that just for one idea, a person experiences a whole range of emotions from blind indignation and impotent anger to grateful perception real life and all-encompassing love.
Each performance is like a small life, lived not only by the actors, but also by the audience, who are silent participants in the actions taking place on stage. Just as you cannot step into the same river twice, the performance will be new and unique in its performance each time. And those emotions, excitement and experiences will beckon and attract like a magnet, so that again and again you can plunge into that magical atmosphere of mystery and existence at the same time, in order to know yourself through great power art.
Many years ago I watched a youth theater performance based on the play “The Blind” by Maurice Maeterlinck. It was a mass cultural trip to the theater, organized by the company's management for its employees. Everyone expected a pleasant time together, after which it was planned to continue communication in some cafe, with all the pleasant additions. After the performance everyone left in silent silence. I was not only shocked, I didn’t want to talk about anything or anyone for a week - I and those who were with me at the performance were silent for a long time. That is, the conversation went on all the time, but it was an internal dialogue with myself. After we shared our impressions with one of our familiar directors, he responded with the words of one of the greats (I don’t remember who now): “Good theater amazes, bad theater gives pleasure. Congratulations, you have found yourself in a good theater.”
Today I am glad that I am directly involved in the world of theater. Theater psychological school"Image" teaches acting skills to everyone who wants to learn magical power this art. There are no restrictions on age or profession; people are not selected according to any special criteria. After all, every person has been an actor since childhood, only some improve their skills over the years, while others try hard to suppress them, putting on a comfortable mask of pleasant coexistence with everyone. Over the years, such a person gets used to the chosen image, as to his second “I”. And only occasionally, completely alone, being with himself, does he allow his true nature to come out. Sometimes this is a rather painful process, so a person strives to put on his usual look again as soon as possible, so that no one notices. But is such a person happy, can he sincerely rejoice and be sad in order to feel the fullness of life? Of course he can if he wants...
The theater-school "Obraz" invites everyone to take acting courses for life and for the stage. This slogan, which has become over the 18 years of our school’s existence famous brand, is more relevant today than ever. Today, almost every one that has not proven itself through years of successful work theatre studio, already states in full voice about their masters teaching acting skills necessary for a person in life.

But those for whom the Obraz theater school has become a second home during their studies do not remain on the sidelines.

Under the guidance of selected masters, they continue to stage new performances, work on new images that allow them to experience new sensations and enjoy the world of theater and communication with like-minded people. Theater is a whole world that absorbs you completely and never lets you go!
Actor. Artist
Talented actress Liya Akhedzhakova (played in Eldar Ryazanov’s films “Garage”, “ Love affair at work") in a conversation with a journalist said: “Not every actor is an artist.”
Well said. Akhedzhakova emphasizes that the concepts and words actor and artist have their own characteristics. Commendable. Linguists do not always point out the difference.
What are the features of the words actor and artist? They are often mistakenly used as identical synonyms.
The words actor and actress came from French(acteur, actrice - from the Latin actor “performer, actor”. The emphasis actor is outdated).
Actor used directly and figurative meaning:
A) direct meaning: "performer of roles in theatrical performances"(tragic, dramatic, comic, pop actors, film actors).
Now, if only we could find a dramatic, young, good actress (A. Ostrovsky).
b) figurative meaning: “a pretender, a person who shows himself not as he really is.”
What a serious look and dissatisfied look. Yes, I didn’t know that you were such an actor (Lermontov, “Masquerade”).
The nest of cognate words includes: actor, actress, actor, actor, actor, actor, actor.
The word acting, like actor, has a direct and figurative meaning: direct - “the profession of an actor”, performing arts"; figurative - "artificiality, pretense, panache."
Word artist (from French - artiste), g. R. artist. Direct values:
1. “a person who has chosen as his profession activity in the field of stage or pop art.” In contrast, actor - artist, actress - artist emphasizes the difference between profession and talent.
Mrs. Karatygina is truly a gifted artist, in comparison with other actresses Alexandrinsky Theater(V. Belinsky).
2. "a person who is engaged in creativity in the field of any art."
I, grandma, want to be an artist. - As an artist? - An artist... After university I’ll go to the academy (Goncharov, “Cliff”).
The word artist is often used in the figurative meaning of “a person with great art and doing something with love."
Your son is an artist in his field.
The nest of cognate words includes: artistic, artistically, artistry, etc.
In dictionaries of synonyms, the words actor, entertainer and performer are in the same nest. It should be taken into account that the actor and artist have semantic connotations, and the actor is outdated. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, the synonym for actors was used, as a rule, with a touch of irony.
In the Ukrainian language, the word aktor "actor" and its derivatives, actress, are widely used. As in the Russian language, actor and actorship have direct and figurative meanings.

Coming from the French language, the words “actor” and “artist” are undoubtedly interrelated. But they cannot be considered absolute synonyms. What is the difference between an actor and an artist? To understand this, let's look at each concept in more detail.
Definition
Actor is a profession whose representatives can be seen on theater stages, in film stills and promotional videos. The actors play diverse roles there. Public performances have been held in human society since time immemorial. But the birth acting how art is connected with the emergence of the first ancient Greek theaters.
Artist(V general meaning) is a person who conducts his activities in the field of art. In more in the narrow sense An artist is someone who performs on the stage or arena of a circus: a singer, musician, poetry reader, juggler, trainer. There is also a figurative, ironic interpretation of this word. An artist can be called a trickster, a rogue: Well, you are an artist!
Comparison
Thus, the word “artist”, used in the meaning of “person of art,” is very voluminous. Art includes many directions. This includes theater, choreography, pop music, and much more. Once upon a time, painters and sculptors were also rightly called artists. Consequently, an actor as an artist is also an artist. At the same time, such a profession has its own specifics.
The difference between an actor and an artist is that he is exclusively engaged in playing roles. An actor can be, for example, comic or tragic. People serving this profession must be able to masterfully transform themselves and successfully enter into the image of a particular character. Externally, this is achieved by applying makeup, selecting a costume, as well as developing gestures, intonation, and demeanor of the person being portrayed. Decisive role plays the actor’s ability to reliably convey the character traits of the hero, to show how the character lives, what worries him.
It should be noted that a person who has reached the heights of his creativity is called an artist. This word is always included in honorifics government titles. For example, a beginner talented actor may subsequently, thanks to his work, become an honored artist.
In addition, you can understand the difference between an actor and an artist by analyzing the derivative words “acting” and “artistry.” The first of them except direct meaning“the profession of an actor” also has the following meaning: pretense, false image, convenient social role. Artistry, in turn, refers to grace and virtuosity in work, subtle craftsmanship, as well as the ability to present oneself.
