The article analyzes the attributes of models which can be observed in the portrait photography of the second half of the 19th century. With the help of the items in the shot, the photographers created typical images of honourable members of European society. The photographs captured new archetypes of the urban community with modern attributes of a profession or leisure. Items of European and colonial everyday life reflected the interaction between the metropolis and the territories under its control. But the objects in the photograph also conveyed the individual features of a model's personality, which was important for its functioning as an instrument of memory.

This article reviews Samuel Barber's Piano Concerto in three projections: a work of enhanced personal representation, a highly artistic example of the genre, and an "American Piano Concerto”. The affiliation of this work to the culminating phase of the artist's biography, marked by a significant modernization of the individual musical language, is emphasized. The directions of articulation of the basic features of the concert genre are revealed: diversification of forms of dialogue between soloist and orchestra, the balance of technical and artistic in an arrangement of the piano part, achievement of the integrity of a cycle at the expense of intensive motive-thematic work. The place of the Barber concert in the American history of the genre as a point of balance between the canonical and experimental approaches to its embodiment is marked.

American artist Chuck Close is famous for his extremely large pixel portrait paintings based on photos with various geometric grids. This type of portrait painting provides people with a new way of viewing — viewing the abstract nearby and the concrete afar. And as the bridge between the abstract and the concrete, it is the grid of pixels with various styles. Based on this, this article uses Close's portrait paintings from 1970 to 1999 to try to analyze his intention to create with photos and the evolvement of the style of pixel portrait paintings, as well as the way he uses photography to express the new vitality of portrait paintings, thereby reflecting the symbiotic relationship between photography and painting.

Using the scientific bibliometric analysis software CiteSpace, this paper analyzes and identifies literatures related to Chinese aesthetics published in CNKI journals from 1983 to 2020, sorts out the development context and research hotspots of Chinese aesthetics research, and speculates the future development of the field of Chinese aesthetics. The data reflects that the field of Chinese aesthetics is in a preliminary stage of development, with research hotspots emerging, and branches refining in the field. In the future, Chinese aesthetics may have internal branches to drive the development of the overall field. This research aims to provide a valuable reference for researchers and practitioners in the field of Chinese aesthetics. At the same time, as an important part of Chinese culture, it is of great significance to study and predict the development of Chinese aesthetics in the field of inheritance and development of Chinese culture.
