Abstract:

The phrase “non-verbal communication” can include all types of signals that are used in interpersonal communication, but at the same time do not belong to language (verbal communication). Non-verbal communication enriches, accompanies, complements, clarifies, emphasizes the content of what is said, and it also reveals the true emotions of the participants in the communication process. By mastering the symbols and signs of non-verbal communication, a change in personal perspectives can be achieved. The impact of works of art as a form of non-verbal communication on viewers would lead to the expansion of their knowledge and to the achievement of aesthetic enjoyment. The aim of this work is to present the impact of non-verbal signals through artistic works as an invariable part of the communication process. To achieve the formulated goal, the author has considered the impact of specific works of art, without neglecting or belittling the variety of other signals in non-verbal communication.
