Art in its various manifestations and interpretations has existed since the birth of mankind. And for such a long time of its existence, it has acquired many faces. This is a painted picture, and written work, and relatively recently it became the cinematography.

But at the same time art raises a lot of questions about its purpose and the way it affects people. What should works of art be? What should they touch and what should not? Who has the right to interfere in this field? And most importantly, what is art really about, and what is its ultimate goal?

Everyone answers these (and not only these) questions for himself. Only the creator himself can see whether his answers are correct or not.

Alexander Blok tried to answer similar questions in his collection of poems devoted to the theme of art. Although there was also a place for poems of other content, revealing the poet’s soul.
