Art is usually understood as a concrete interpretation of reality. The process and result of expressing the inner and outer world in relation to the creator. Therefore, art is a creative activity that reflects not only the interests of the creators, but also the interests of others. The definition and evaluation of art as a reality phenomenon (existence and consciousness) has been discussed for a long time.

Art has long been considered a means of cultural activity to satisfy the love of beauty. In this sense, art is the technology by which a product provides aesthetic pleasure.

Auguste Renoir painted two similar versions of Blonde Bather (La baigneuse blonde) in 1881 and 1882, both of which are now published as private collections. The 1882 version is seen above on the left. The model was Aline Charigot, who later became Renoir’s wife. Inspired by Renaissance paintings (especially Raphael’s frescoes) in Italy in 1881, these works are clearly different in style from Renoir’s earlier works. Some commentators have called these works beautiful, while others have called them vulgar.
