METHODS OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH APPLIED IN FIGURATIVE PAINTING

Abstract

The analysis of the existing situation in the scientific field of figurative painting reveals multiple shortcomings, gaps or uncertainties, which motivate the research process and the development of specific methodologies. The methodological viewfinder focuses on summing and structuring the criteria for the analysis of figurative painting following from the area or sphere influencing the contemplation of the plastic image. All these are structured in two large compartments considered categories of the form and message within the figurative images. The proposed methodology provides a deductive sequence in the process of investigating figurative painting, by which, on the one hand, the most important scientific issues in the field are highlighted, but on the other hand, the most significant and important values promoted by figurative painting are pointed out.
