Music and arts

We divide arts in three main parts – to literature, which include drama,
short stories, poetry, biographies and others styles of literature, the second
part are performing arts, which include dance, cinema, theatre, ballet, concerts
and opera, the third part of arts are fine arts, this are painting and sculpture.
Music and arts are very old, as old as is mankind. For example small flutes from
bone have been found. This flutes come from the primitive times and also very
ancient painting in caves like Alta Mira and Lascaux, in caves and also in other
places were found small statuettes of people, shootable and holy animals. We
know the most beautiful paintings, statues and other things of Egyptians,
Babylonians, Greeks, Romans and other nations of ancient world. From Middle Ages
coming first known artists, like Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo Buanarotti
and many others.

We come into contact with music and arts through our whole live. Every nation
has its own folk art. Our country has many districts, where different folk art
is produced. Folk music include lullabies, carols, love songs? We can divide
music in two main parts: classical music and pop music. This isn\’t exact,
because it depends on personal meaning. Everybody knows classical composers like
Johan Sebastian Bach, who wrote for example many Fugas, Antonio
Vivaldi who wrote The four seasons, Ludwig van Beethoven and his
Fatal Symphony (IX., closes the music festival of Prague Spring ), and many
piano concerts, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, whose music composition are for
example Magical Flute, Figaros wedding and The Small Night Music and many and
many other. In pop music we know better the interpreters than the composers, we
know Ella Fitzgerald, who sings jazz, her own songs and she is celebrated
for her smooth interpretation of George Gershwin\’s songs; everybody knows Elvis
Presley, called The king of rock\’n\’roll, who was born in Memphis in
Tennessee, and made many hits like „Love me Tender“ and
„Don\’t“, since the year 1950 he also made some films like Loving You,
and he died in 1977; one of most popular pop groups from 1960 to 1970 were The
Beatles, The members, all born in Liverpool, were John Lennon, who
was killed in 1980, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo
Starr. They sang songs written by Lennon and McCartney, and starred in two
films A Hard Day\’s Night and Help. Today there are many pop music interpreters
for example Michael Jackson, Phil Collins, Madonna, Elton John,
Whitney Houston, Sting, and groups like Tic Tac Toe, The Rolling Stones,
Kelly Family, Spice Girls and so on.

Now about painting and sculptors. As was I just said, first paintings
were found in Altamira and Lascaux. During renaissance lived the famous artists
especially Leonardo da Vinci, who was a painter, sculptor and a noted
inventor. He painted well known Mona Lisa, Lady with the ermine etc. The next
big artist of this age was Michelangello Buanarotti, he made the statue
of David, the Pieta, he made the fresco in Sixtin chapel and many and many other.
From later times comes for example William Turner who painted romantic
landscapes and was anticipated Impressionism, his pictures are Rain, Steam and
Speed. Most of his works are displayed in the Core Gallery and in the Tate
Gallery of London. Best known from modern artist are Salvador Dali and Pablo
Picasso, but of course not only they.
