Semiotics in Art

Semiotics in art studies how meaning is created and communicated through signs, symbols, and images. In the context of formalism, it analyzes how the composition and structure of an artwork contribute to its meaning. The ontology of art explores what art is and its existence, while art interpretation examines how viewers perceive and understand meaning. Semiotics considers the relationship between the artwork, the artist, and the audience, emphasizing that understanding art involves recognizing the complex interplay of visual elements and cultural contexts that shape our interpretations.
