What we are exploring: What happened to culture in the 20th century and how did this affect the perception of body beauty?
What's new: What does the art of imitation of reality mean and what does the art of imitation of the content of reality mean?
What we will learn: What does it mean to see true beauty?
1. Many processes and phenomena during the civilizational development of the 20th century. (...) indicate that the culture has entered an active phase of bifurcation – a global explosive transition (leap) from Culture (with a capital letter) to something fundamentally different, which has not yet been observed in the history of mankind (Bychkov V.V. 2012) [1].
2. Hypocritical imitation of art, entangling another in contradictions, imitation belonging to the part of fine art that creates ghosts and, with the help of speeches, highlights in creativity not the divine, but the human part of magic (Plato, 1993. Sophist. 265 b, 268 d) [2].
3. Different vision * of beauty. Over time, fine art, for various reasons, changed its idea of the surrounding beauty, including the beauty of the human body. This becomes obvious from the many works of art that have survived to this day [3]. The fundamental cultural change occurred mainly during the 20th century when the classical culture was replaced by the concept of chaos under the guise of culture. Like an explosion, it tore classical culture into small fragments beyond recognition. None of the experts in aesthetics dared to call it culture. This is probably why what remained of classical culture began to be called postculture.
4. Postculture as a remnant of culture. Naturally, radical cultural change brought chaos to all types of art, including fine art. Post-cultural fine art, which emerged at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries, is replete with "innovative" movements - avant-garde (including Dadaism), impressionism, modernism, cubism, expressionism, futurism, surrealism, constructivism, fauvism [1, 3]. Each movement saw how to depict the surrounding and/or internal world. So you are not alone, in having your vision of beauty.

5. Two visions of beauty. The history of the development of fine arts shows many different directions and trends that claim to reflect the surrounding beauty [3]. However, as the outstanding philosopher Plato and aesthetics expert Professor V.V. Bychkov, there are only two visions of beauty [1, 2]. One is the fruit of human desires and fantasies - a ghost, or according to Plato, "the human part of magic," and therefore does not reflect the world around us (III fr. 11. 6, 8). Plato spoke about this type of "art" 25 centuries ago, exposing the hypocrisy of the so-called wise men - sophists, who resorted to deception to make quick money [2]. Another vision is based on the perception of the existing surrounding world and strives to mimesis (imitate) it in all its integrity and completeness of forms, colors, and content.
• "In the theories of art [Ancient Greece, author's editor], the concept of mimesis (imitation) in all its modifications came to the forefront - from the illusionistic copying of forms of visible reality (especially in painting - Zeuxis, Apelles, Euphranor) to "imitation" of ideas and eidos of the noetic world" (Bychkov V.V. 2012) [1].
