The purpose of the work is to present a work of art - a picture or statue, an engraving, a drawing - as a holistic, complex organized structure, where all elements (and not just narrative ones) participate in the embodiment of an artistic idea, creating this or that figurative picture of the world. In such a system, there can be no elements of "formal," that is, self-contained or purely technical, devoid of their figurative meaning, indifferent to its content side.
