Abstract

Such distinguishing features of impressionism as disappearing of materialism as a way
of real world perception, new principles of artistic generalization and structuralism required
maximum mobilization of inner resources of art to express new tendencies for culture through
unknown figurative images. Later this new feature of art was influenced not only by the
restless will of an artist, being eager to experiment, but also by quite objective conditions.
Destruction of an old picture of the world revealed itself in all trends of art. A new feeling
of life and time appeared, giving birth to art of a new quality.
Something vague and elusive dominated the new trend of art, very much similar to the
vagueness of people’s lives. These are not distinctly outlined images, some are illusions.
These new artistic optical illusions witnessed rejection of easily recognizable and long ago
adopted images in culture. As a result new artistic means without any evident material objects
as a basis were stressed to reveal that inner moral state of a man during the end of the 19th
century and in the beginning of the 20th century.
