| Summary: | Relaying on standpoints of the renowned art critic Herbert Read, according to which realism, idealism and expressionism are not separate art movements, but represent permanent basic factors in all arts, this paper considers the possibility of existence of elementary creative orientation in architecture as well. Starting from basic aspects of perception and representation of the world around us, and through a comparative analysis and examples from other fields, a thesis is presented according to which notions of mimesis (mimicry), associativity and expression in architecture are adequate counterparts to Read's basic factors of art - realism, idealism and expressionism. Depending on sociopolitical, cultural and historical, as well as other circumstances, from time to time some of these factors come to the surface, wrapped up in time, and emerge in some new or old form which we can recognize as an art movement or style. |
