Understanding Form
So, what is actually meant by Form?
In connection with art, the term form has two meanings: it can refer to the overall form taken by his physical properties; or in a work of art can refer to elements of form among various elements that form a work.
Explanation of Form
Until the emergence of modern art, when color becomes its rival, form is the most important element in painting and based especially on the human body.
In treating or creating forms in art, artists aim to modify natural appearance to create a new expressive new form, namely, conveying some sensations or meaning itself. In modern art, the idea grows that form can be expressive even if most of it or fully divorced from appearance. In 1914 Critic Critic Bell created the term ‘significant form’ to describe this (see formalism). The idea plays an important role in the development of abstract arts. In 1914 the British Pioneer Abstract Painter David Bomberg wrote: ‘I ask for a sense of shape – where I use the naturalistic form that I have examined from all irrelevant material … My object is a pure form construction.’ Even space can have a form: Henry Moore sculptor once said that ‘holes can have as many meanings as possible such as solid masses’ (see also biomorphic.)
Moreover, as we have seen above, this term is one of a collection of dictionaries, acronyms, terms, jargon, or terminology in the field of arts that begins with an alphabet or prefix F, as well as terms associated with F.
