Authentic and original works of art (this is especially clearly reflected in the painting) certainly have their own color features that distinguish one masterpiece from another. Among connoisseurs and art historians, one of the merits of any painting is the richness and mutual consistency of the color scheme. And here we come close to the question: "What is color?"
In painting
The concept itself comes from the Latin word “color”. What is color? We can say that this is the color system of the work, the richness and consistency of colors, which we can visually determine. Color is an important component and tool for creating an artistic image, a means of expression in art. It helps to convey the feelings of the artist and his mood. By variety, the color is warm and cold, dark or light. A good sense of color is an invaluable gift for creativity. Many famous Russian artists - already world classics - perfectly possessed this feeling. Vivid examples are paintings by Aivazovsky and Vrubel, Repin and Surikov, Shishkin and Korovin.
In music
What is color in music, which is a type of art? Here, this concept is used, as a rule, when they want to emphasize that a piece (or an episode) has a certain emotional connotation. This is achieved by using various tones, registers, unusual sounds of rare instruments and similar musical tricks.
In the photo
This concept is one of the most important in the art of photography. This graphic tool is used by the artist-photographer to best convey the deep content of the pictures. The basis is colors and tonality, skillfully selected texture and lighting. The technique often used is the color organization of the object being shot (when creating an art photograph). The direction of the light flux, chiaroscuro, and contrast of the light are estimated. This is probably why the real highly artistic pictures of famous photographers are quoted no less than picturesque paintings.
Figuratively
What is color in Russian? It is often understood as the uniqueness of someone or something, a feature more or less pronounced. Thus, it is possible to determine the mass of manifestations and properties of objects and animated characters (and not only in works of art, but also in everyday communication). For example: "The bright color of our century" or "This hero has his own, special color." As you can see, this concept goes beyond the limits of highly specialized understanding and becomes, as it were, a nationwide, often used word.
