Inspiration is beautiful. Volcanic Sunsets by William Turner

Why does nature inspire writers to create and why did artists love to depict nature? The answer, of course, is quite simple, because each of us admires the sunset, flowers, looks with admiration at the sea or lake.

Why does nature inspire writers and artists?

For poets, writers, composers and painters, nature is an inexhaustible source of inspiration. And many poems, musical and works of art born out of love for her.

The nature around us is beautiful. And when a person experiences admiration at the sight of a landscape, he involuntarily wants to convey his delight to others. Writers are better at conveying their impressions with words, artists with paints, composers with sounds. And people who listen to poetry, music or watch paintings themselves become kinder, more beautiful and better.

All writers and poets sang nature in their works. A.S. Pushkin, I. Bunin, S. Yesenin, N. Nekrasov, A. N. Pleshcheev, A. Fet described different times years and admired them.

Most of the paintings convey the beauty of nature. Many artists have managed to convey beautiful landscapes on their canvases. We all know the paintings of Ivan Shishkin, Ivan Aivazovsky, Isaac Levitan, Arkhip Kuindzhi and others.

Many composers have reflected the beauty of nature in their works. These are P.I. Tchaikovsky, M.I. Glinka, S.V. Rachmaninov, E. Grieg, M.P. Mussorgsky and others. Composers depicted nature in different ways: using onomatopoeia or by reproducing the experiences that nature awakens in them or their heroes. So the composer P.I. Tchaikovsky has musical composition“Seasons”, which consists of 12 parts - 12 months. They cannot be confused with each other. Each has its own character and color.

(Explanatory dictionary of the Russian language)

What does inspiration mean, where does it come from and where does it go? Scientists start numerous debates on this topic, breaking spears in an attempt to explain something intangible that gives the paintings of artists, novels of writers, odes of poets something that makes them recognizable and recognized throughout the world. Let's try to understand what the greats themselves think about inspiration, what they say about it.

The strength of a magnet is transmitted from iron to iron, just as the inspiration of a muse is transmitted through a poet to the reader and listener. - Plato

Inspiration is a state of obsession with truth. - F. Iskander

Inspiration is not a herring that can be pickled for many years. - Goethe

Inspiration is a lightning bolt that does not strike for everyone. - P. Decourcel

Not work, but only pleasure,

Love and tenderness for everything -

This is what inspiration is

And everything corresponds to him!

Nina Kartasheva

Radiant inspiration! Which of the real creators has not experienced its incomprehensible, miraculous power! It, like a mighty stream, carries away the oppressive load of doubts, uncertainty, congestion of previous failures, brings new, fresh ideas, unexpected decisions. Everything suddenly clarifies, makes it understandable, achievable, and the impossible becomes possible. It is no coincidence that poets call him divine.

A moment of inspiration, an exceptional rise in creative power, sometimes reaches such intensity that it is not fully realized by the author himself, is not controlled by his cold reason, and therefore the fruitful results of such inspiration are sometimes unexpected for the artist or scientist himself. In such cases, some of them admitted, paradoxically, that one or another of their works seemed to them “above” their capabilities or they could not explain its appearance themselves. A. Blok said about “The Twelve”: “It is bigger than me and bigger than itself. It is real.”

Inspiration is the state when everything is revealed with utmost power. creative possibilities personalities; all energy sources flow in full flow; reason, will, imagination, fantasy seem to rush in one direction, spurring and stimulating each other.

Inspiration is familiar to any person, including people who work physically. In this sense, the words of I.F. are true. Stravinsky: “The layman imagines that to create one must wait for inspiration. This is a deep misconception. I am far from completely denying inspiration. On the contrary, inspiration driving force, which is present in any human activity... But this force is activated by effort, and effort is labor.” And P.I. Tchaikovsky said: “Inspiration is a guest who does not like to visit the lazy.” Whoever works more often experiences a surge of strength called inspiration, and in this sense the great creative personalities are situated in better position like all true workers.

Inspiration is the joy, the crazy joy of the artist putting the last strokes on the picture; the euphoria of a poet painfully selecting suitable words for the desired rhyme; the unbridled joy of a designer drawing out in detail the still unclear configurations of a machine that does not yet exist; the discovery of a scientist who combined the incompatible in his strict calculations of intricate formulas and received for no apparent reason an unexpected, even frightening result...

Inspiration is novelty, the most original, unexpected and most certainly modern.

Inspiration is a gust of wind, or a gentle touch of flying coolness, or a squall blow of a typhoon, sweeping away everything and everyone in its path...

Inspiration is everything and inspiration is nothing...

At all times, painters and sculptors, as well as photographers closer to us in time, sought to show in their works their own sense of inspiration.

The 17th century French painter Nicolas Poussin managed to

expressively capture the moment of birth of inspiration. The poet, crowned with a laurel wreath, holds a lyre in his hands. His face is calm with a look and a restless soul, and even, if I may say so, “softened.” (the era of romanticism, when the creator was endowed with a burning gaze and a restless soul, is still far away).

More modern French artist, bright representative salon academicism Adolphe William Bouguereau

depicted in the picture the work of creative thought, when the idea is about to be embodied in material outlines.

Polish artist Jacek Malczewski, representative of modernism and symbolism. avoiding questions, he depicted his inspiration on canvas. His painting “The Artist's Inspiration” opens up a special world of creative madness.

Malchevsky argued that inspiration cannot be artificially evoked, it cannot be controlled, and showed what the artist’s passion for obedience leads to, the desire to catch a fragile muse in a net and not let go. In thick colors and gloomy tones it is told about the despair of the creator, his powerlessness. The artist himself experienced such moments more than once.

Masters of the brush, describing their inspiration, see it as sublime, while others talk about a woman as a muse, without which creativity is impossible. Modern creators bring new symbols and images into their works.

Working on the composition

The choice of composition of the painting was determined by the objectives, its content, nature and purpose.

Composition (from Latin compositio) means composition, connection, combination various parts into a single whole in accordance with some idea

Composition in design is associated with the need to convey the main concept, the idea of ​​the work as clearly and convincingly as possible. The main thing in composition is the creation of an artistic image. Paintings painted in different eras, absolutely different styles, amaze our imagination and are remembered for a long time, largely due to the clear compositional construction. And indeed, if you try classical paintings change anything, for example, the size of the canvas, the ratio of dark and light spots, the number of figures, the height of the horizon line, the integrity of the composition is immediately destroyed, the balance of the parts is lost

The composition challenges the artist every time difficult questions, the answers to which must be accurate, original, unique.

Everything is important in a composition - the mass of objects, their visual “weight”, their placement on a plane, the expressiveness of silhouettes, rhythmic alternations of lines and spots, methods of conveying space and the point of view of what is depicted, the distribution of light and shade, the color and coloring of the picture, the poses and gestures of the characters, format and size of the work and much more.

The presented work “Inspiration” is made in a decorative manner of writing.

Decorative thematic composition - special art world with its own conventional order, and sometimes with specific, easily recognizable characters, who relate to each other in a completely different way than in reality.

Main distinctive feature The difference between a decorative image and a realistic one is that the color of an object can be given without taking into account light and shadow; even a complete rejection of the real color is possible. It is important that it creates an artistic image.

The property of a decorative composition is the decorative transformation of any nature, highlighting the elegance, beauty, ornamentation of the surrounding world, observing a certain measure of conventionality of the image. Skillful generalization of form does not harm expressiveness at all. Refusal of minor details makes the main thing more noticeable. TO positive results leads not only to a strict selection of the main thing, but also to some understatement, associativity in the emotional-figurative solution of the topic.

Various composition techniques were used in the work: conveying rhythm, asymmetry, balancing the parts of the composition and highlighting the plot and compositional center.

Rhythm is one of the " magic wands", with the help of which you can convey movement on a plane. It can be specified by lines, spots of light and shadow, spots of color. The gaze, moving from one pictorial element to another, similar to it, itself, as it were, participates in the movement. For example, when we look looking at the waves, moving your gaze from one wave to another, creates the illusion of their movement.

When creating this composition, the following rules for transferring motion were used:

1. The direction of the wing flapping along a diagonal line gives the image a sense of dynamism.
2. the effect of movement is also created due to the free space in front of the moving object.
3. To convey the movement, a certain moment of readiness for creative creation was chosen, which most clearly reflects the nature of the movement and is its culmination.
4. the female figure in the picture is turned to face to the right - this is due to the peculiarity of our vision, which is that we read the text from left to right, and movement from left to right is easier to perceive, it seems faster.

The sense of movement is also emphasized by the neutral, blurred background.

To convey the feeling of the flight of creative inspiration, painting techniques were used: lines, strokes, brightness of the color spot. Choice color range is also not accidental.

Svyatoslav Nikolaevich Roerich says this about color: “Harmony in color is like harmony in music. It has the same effect; it causes the same reactions, determined by whether we like this reaction or not. Take black and white drawing. There is never such a living element in it that gives color. Because color, even without association and form, still carries the vibrations of life. After all, color is very close to music, poetry, sound and smell, which are interconnected. In general, my thesis in painting is this: it is color that primarily influences us.”

Each color has a different effect on a person: orange and red excite energy, cause an upsurge of feelings; green calms, blue and purple put you to sleep

In the composition of a painting, the location of the color and the direction of the color stroke are also important. The blue color in a composition produces a different impression depending on whether it is located at the top or bottom of the picture, to the left or to the right. At the bottom of the composition Blue colour heavy, but at the top it seems light. The dark red color in the upper part of the picture gives the impression of something heavy, inevitable and menacing, while in the lower part it seems calm and self-evident. Yellow in the upper part of the work gives the impression of lightness and weightlessness, while in the lower part it rebels as if in captivity. One of the most essential tasks of composition is to ensure balance of color masses.

Start taking writing and criticism courses. Creative people need support from peers to inspire, comfort and support them. It is very important to leave your office, study or studio and be with other people. By surrounding yourself with others who have similar goals and challenges, you create positive synergy and are filled with fresh energy. Someone in the group will always inspire you, give you a great idea, suggest a solution to a problem, or light you up creative spark, thanks to which you will move forward.

Try creating in a different field. Creative people have many ways to express themselves. For example, you can diversify your work on intellectual projects (writing) with applied activities (making something). In this way, different parts of the brain will be activated, resulting in the formation of new neural connections. Changing activities stimulates creative thinking.

Always be working on some new project. If you're having trouble with one project, work on another. Experiment, work in different genres, try different styles, write for different audiences.

Continue to develop and learn new things throughout your life. Fill your brain fresh ideas. Attend conferences; take courses; read books about writing and artistic skill. Find out more about the arts sector. Master the new kind art. Connect with other artists who inspire you. Develop new techniques, styles and hone your craft. Invite a successful artist to dinner and learn something from him.

• Carry a notepad and pen with you wherever you go so that you can always jot down new ideas that you can use in your writing.
• Read a lot of books of different genres, this will help you decide what kind of book you want to write, and also give you insight into the ideas of other authors.
