Art is an important part of civilization, which makes people’s lives to be better. Art always uses its graceful behavior to influence people’s daily lives. The history of art reflects human beings’ evolution. It recorded most necessary events during the history of past thousand years. Eiffel Tower, Khufu Pyramid, Venice and Taj Mahal; these artworks demonstrate their specific charm. They are the marvelous spectacles in the world, and they are representatives of the art realm. However, there are also some special master pieces, which always be ignored in ordinary people’s daily lives. Oil painting is a kind method to give rein to one’s imagination which coalesce fantasy and reality for artists. They are come from the life, but beyond life. Especially for portraitures which is the miracle of oil paintings. Drawing a figure on paper is not simple because it is not only drawing a person’s appearance, but also showing the social status and positions of this person. This figure on the paper could be some people real exist. But it also could be the expectation. A painting master must use his extraordinary skills to create a figure on a paper and give the soul to the character, which helps others to understand this character. There are two paintings could be representatives of these extraordinary drawings. The María Teresa del Castillo, painted by Zaragoza who lived in Spain during 1734 – 1795. And the Portrait of the Dwarf Michol, by Avilés who came from Spain in the year 1614 –
Nation's history and culture have definitely a great effect in the art conception in every country. The same way it has a bigger meaning and influence in people that share their traditions.

Art flourishes in a civilization when people communicate complicated ideas and emotions used to create pieces. Art changes with society. In Egyptian times, they built pyramids that were like monuments and had their own artistic style that was represented by hieroglyphics and human figures made of stone. This was the Egyptians mark in time. In our modern-day society, we have buildings, paintings, and statues that all represent the present. Things like politics or natural disasters happening to us currently can help art flourish with expression towards these things. We have political cartoons being created to show the outrage within the political world. There are pieces that make history and remind us of something devastating like a hurricane or earthquake that destroyed cities and took lives. I think art flourishes in both devastating and uplifting times.

In turn, the graduation of tone by blending black and white with other hues creates a smooth effect with a picture plane that forms an invisible barrier, engaging the spectator from a distance.
Today day, art still is a controversial subject of aesthetics, in discussing whether variety form of modern visual art is art or not. In Laurie Schneider Adams’ article “What is Art?” and Marcel Duchamp’s “The Creative Act”, they have own criteria to definite what the nature of art, its meaning and its function.

What is it that attracts us to art? Have you ever wondered exactly why abstract art displays in art museums are indefinitely more valued than that of an art piece created by a child? If you happen to be unaware of what abstract art is all about, it is the only art form in which is solely based upon creating art using shapes, forms, colors and lines to create a composition designed to have no aesthetic significance whatsoever. In this, it is meant that abstract art is completely detached from reality. It is what you make it to be, and it is always looked upon as art that is all created upon imagination.
