Art Style | Art & Culture International Magazine

First Edition

Welcome to the first edition of Art Style Magazine. This magazine is open to the public and contributes to the knowledge and information of arts and culture. In this inaugural edition, the arts are addressed in several essays; their varied contents consider sociopolitical dynamics and cultural diversity. The focus is innovation through a constant transgression with the ancient rules of imitation of nature—which held the beauty ideal—that is, Fine Art—in the Academies. Today, however, the arts have become increasingly close to aesthetic freedom. There are no more comparisons between the distinct features of each art, which does not seem to hold any common goal of an abstract beauty ideal. This ideal is far from everyday life. The main feature is the art of each artist in his or her creative freedom and motivation. And in spite of the dissolution of the fine arts, the arts have always been connected by their functions, forms, and contents aiming for a masterpiece, the possibility of the “total art” or the evolution of each art separately, and by the similarities of the processes of creation, which have always been the object of artistic theories and themes.
