Understanding Narrative
So, what is actually meant by Narrative?
Narrative art is an art that tells a story.
Explanation of Narrative
Narration is just a story. Narrative art is an art that tells a story. Most of the western arts until the twentieth century became a narrative, describing stories from religion, myths and legends, history and literature (see historical paintings). The audience is considered accustomed to the story in question.
From around the seventeenth century genre, paintings show scenes and narratives of daily life. In the time of Victoria, narrative paintings of daily life subjects became very popular and were often considered as the category itself (eg Victoria narrative paintings).
In modern art, formalist ideas have resulted in the preferred narrative. However, the reference code for political or social problems, or events in the life of the artist is still normal. Such works effectively are modern allegations and generally need information from artists to be fully understood. The most famous example of this is Guernica Pablo Picasso.
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 N, as well as terms associated with N.
