37、theeffectsofcolorsoropticalthe conditionsof artarenothingbuta particularway ofinterpretingreality.to understandthis,one can examine thedifferencebetween theclassicalgreek and theclassicalegyptianstyles.forthegreeks,therealityofthevisiblewas given by the perspective and the situation in which the obj

39、ofan object.for theegyptians,greek artwasanillusion;forthegreeks, ontheotherhand,egyptianartwas unrealistic constructivism.the way in which reality appears in art must not be regarded on its own. it is affected by many other systems of recognizing reality, including the political,religious,economic,
