One of contemporary society’s acute problem is moral state of its members, which needs a perfecting through permanent education of ethic standards. Art, as other domain, tackles this problem, but from its own view point. It reflects different moral ethic ideals during its development stages, which influence conscience of respective epoch people. In this way, art presents it self in double hypostasis – to reproduce the moral state of human society in a certain historical moment, and to help the speading of ethic ideas that will contribute to its spiritual education and development. The work of art becomes an object of study for the general viewer and requires him to mobilize his intellectual faculty to understand the proposed „message”. Art is the privileged way to remove man from the conflict zone of life, caused by various historical and social factors. Existential drama, expressed through moral suffering, is present in various genres of art with an emphasis on historical, religious composition, etc., but it is also avoided by artists who paint static natures, landscapes, nudes. Artists of the contemporary period, captivated by plastic and non-figurative technological effects, avoid analyzing the current social impact, rediscovering moral and ethical values and reflecting them in his work.
