| Symbols represent objects, pictures, sounds, written words or something else and represent thoughts, ideas, notions, beliefs and feelings. Some symbols are very common, like white rectangle on the red background signifying “stop”, others have special meaning and provoke deep emotions. For example, such symbols are the Star or David in Judaism and the crucifix in Christianity. We all are surrounded by symbols. Every day we're faced with something that has a symbolic sense. You may see symbols on money, in books, commercials, music compositions, politics and so forth. To realize the significance of a symbol a viewer has to know what this symbol implies. For example, the Chinese symbol of "yin" and "yang" looks like a funny picture with black and white colors for people who don't know the secret significance of the sign. They can enjoy its design and aesthetic side, but they do not see more than that. On the contrary, if a person knows the origin of the symbol he sees not only a simple picture, but an idea of deep interdependence of things in our life. During the history of mankind symbols were widely applied in art. So, one object on a painting speaks a lot about the situation, the concepts of the painter, his view on life and beliefs. To understand the secret meaning of a book or a music composition we should pay special attention to symbols. Sometimes we have to read critics on a certain piece of art to get the idea of the author. This is because the language of symbols is rather complicated. So what are the most popular symbols in art and what do they stand for? Among the most common symbols used in pieces of art are a book, candles, a clock and a mirror. A book as a rule signifies learning and knowledge. In case you see a burning candle on a painting it is in most cases a symbol of time passing or religion. On the other hand, an extinguished candle signifies death and mourning. A clock represents the passing of time. On this point the world-famous painting of Salvador Dali known as “Melting clocks” stands for an idea that nothing in our living complies with some rules. And at last, a mirror refers to efforts to find the truth, but in some cases it just implies the vanity. Thus, symbols are everywhere in our world. We just should pay a little more attention to details to see them. |
