Abstract

The world of objects in visual art in terms of semiotics can be considered as an integral system, with its own structure, hierarchy, laws of combining parts, features and functions, as well as its ability to change and “transcode” the meaning. In this context the “world of objects” is defined as a set of objects of the material world depicted in the works of visual art. Whereas the world of objects is a sign system, we can talk about the language of objects and its representation in art and its communicative function. The semiotic approach makes a distinction between an object in its usual meaning and the depicted object as a part of the system of signs. The aim of the article is to identify the range of issues considering semiotic interpretation of the world of objects and to determine the features, functions and structure of the system based on the semiotic studies by Yuri Lotman, Roland Barthes and other scholars.
