Dear reader! I would not like to conceive ещ ё one long philosophical discussion of a question at all, art product, concerning idea. Instead of it I shall try to help you to develop сво ё own understanding of this question. Welcome on a remote session of гештальт-therapy!
* * *
Look on репродукцию of a known picture А.К. Саврасова « Грачи have arrived(flied) » (1871). See on not ё closely(attentively). Wait, while at you any feelings and – or ideas will appear.
Now try independently to answer the following questions. What for artist has switched on in the image колокольню? About what speak wooden structures without windows? In what of symbolism of an arrival грачей? What feelings arise at you at a sight on this picture? What basic idea of product? In what his(its) sense?
The practising photographers – fans are offered to answer on some additional questions. Whether:-) It is good, what the line of horizon divides a picture practically half-and-half? Whether takes away ветка from the left border of a picture the too large share of spectator attention?
Have answered questions? Have formulated сво ё opinion? Fine! Now postpone clause, rise, resemble on a room, then again come back to reading.
С.М. Сандомирский writes: « the Sense of a picture is simple. The people behind a dark deaf(indistinct) fence and in low houses are far from any spiritual inquiries. Служители of church already rise above every day fine businesses (above horizon a little), and звонница, as устремления in religious ideas, rises even above, grasping the large piece of the sky, but to make the way to light clouds and pure(clean) sky be unable. And only birds not only fly in the clear light sky of spirit, but live in the high sky, — this place of their daily stay ».
Again rise, is sensitive разомнитесь. If at you is кот, stroke it(him) and scratch at him(it) for ухом. If кота at you no, it is possible, for example to scratch an own nape. Now we shall continue.
Now, from your permission, I shall state to you the version of idea of this picture. The sense of a picture is simple. The circulation of life has made the next coil. Грачи have returned. Ещ ё the snow, ещ ё the sky of full свинцово-winter shades has not thawn, but грачи are already engaged in construction of jacks. We cost(stand) on пригорке and we look вдаль. In the early spring something щемяще-shrill is felt in air. And on a background by this пронзительности we feel loneliness. And hope. Е ё to us gives not thawing of snow, and not a kind church колокольни вдалеке, and especially not ordinary contours of sheds on the average plan. We feel е ё through an arrival of birds. Whether we are similar also to these birds? Whether our life same is also vain круговертью of events: every time repeating and every time completely another?
Compare own interpretation to what speaks Сандомирский about and about what I speak. Again rise. Approach to a window. See вдаль. If to read further reluctance, do not read. To what itself to force? Empty …
If you вс ё have decided(solved) to read further, welcome back.
One of ancestors of гештальт-therapy Фриц Перлс (Fritz Perls) just has noticed: « … we do not analyze. We simply perceive completely » (« … we are not analyzing. We are just integrating »). See at the interpretation and on the above mentioned versions from this point of view. That in them it is more than? The analysis or complete perception(recognition)? Can, there is ещ ё something very important? And something can not less important is absent in all versions (including yours own)?
Again look on репродукцию of a picture. Unless can all these words (including yours own) replace alive perception(recognition) of art product? If the idea of a picture also exists, whether that in a condition we е ё вербализовать? What for to us verbal senses? What for to us in general idea? Answer to itself the put questions.
Make a deep breath – exhalation. Be weakened. Smile. The session is finished. Thanks.

Epilogue, not obligatory for a perusal
1. Question for self-checking: whether you have caught the basic idea of my text? If yes, in what she consists? Generally, I wanted only to stimulate your own process of thinking – perception. No more that. If you have found in this text any other ideas, know: it is faster your own ideas, instead of mine. Such result — the quite normal phenomenon (consequence of successful гештальт-therapy).:-)
2. It is possible to see at a problem of idea of art product and a little in another way. In physics there is such piece, as « a principle дополнительности Бора ». On my sight, it(he) can be distributed and to art (quite probably, that I not first, whom have come in a head such idea). In art this principle could be formulated as follows: any interpretations of idea of art product are not mutually exclusive — all of them only supplement each other. If вс ё stated has left at you feeling of an easy irritation, above that, can, such approach will return to you the lost calmness.
