PORTRAIT PHENOMENOLLOGY IN ART AND LITERATURE

This paper presents a research into the portrait genre from the axiological perspective and its redefi nition in cinematography. In each of the art domains, there is a way to render the physical aspect and the interior world of any individual from diff erent perspectives – literal portrait, painted portrait, carved portrait and portrait in photography. Th e defi ning aspects of these portraits, which are created through the masters` artistic imagination, infl uenced directly or indirectly the creation and development of the portrait in cinematography. The portrait in cinematography is getting “mature” in the branches of art and is easily combining the experiences gained throughout history. Th e fi lm-portrait itself shows the audience a diff erent form of art. It is obvious that we cannot diminish the value of portraits from other branches of art. However, cinematography has its advantages, of which the main one is that it combines all elements in one body: the image, the word and music.
