The Sociology of art is a subfield of sociology concerned with the social worlds of art and aesthetics. Studying the sociology of art throughout history is the study of the social history of art, how various societies contributed to the appearance of certain artists. In her 1970 book Meaning and Expression: Toward a Sociology of Art, Hanna Deinhard gives these defining features of a sociology of art (page 3): "The point of departure of the sociology of art is the question: How is it possible that works of art, which always originate as products of human activity within a particular time and society and for a particular time, society, or function -- even though they are not necessarily produced as 'works of art' -- can live beyond their...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Sofa painting is a pejorative term for paintings that match a color scheme or match a sofa. However, a 2002 exhibition of sofa art, entitled "A Painting for Over the Sofa (that's not necessarily a painting)," showed that art made to go over the sofa could also communicate highly charged artistic messages. The exhibition, organized by the Bernice Steinbaum Gallery in Miami, Florida, debuted at the Knoxville Museum of Art, Knoxville, Tennessee. Pejoratives are words or grammatical forms which denote a negative affect; that is, they express the contempt or distaste of the speaker. Sometimes a term may begin as a pejorative word and eventually be adopted in a non-pejorative sense. Данное...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In photography, soft focus is a lens flaw, in which the lens forms images that are blurred due to spherical aberration. A soft focus lens deliberately introduces spherical aberration in order to give the appearance of blurring the image while retaining sharp edges; it is not the same as an out-of-focus image, and the effect cannot be achieved simply by defocusing a sharp lens. Soft focus is also the name of the style of photograph produced by such a lens. The effect of a soft focus lens is sometimes approximated by the use of diffusion filter or other method, such as stretching a nylon stocking over the front of the lens, or smearing petroleum jelly on a clear filter or on the front element of...
