Stylistic semiotics

When we read a book and we don’t know the author we, also unconsciously, search the author in our mind, among the records, because we want satisfy the curiosity about this doubt, who is the writer? To historical men of art, who is the painter, the architect, the sculptor or artisan that has made it? It is natural, because the writer, artist, actor has a owner style and from it he doesn’t not prescind, because in this dramatic manifestation, dramatic from ancient Greek δρἇμα, this action, therefore the actor playing his interpretation he makes the action, the painter makes the action, the sculptor same and the architect has other δρἇμα, this is the intellective because he must find the form and satisfy need of costumer, but every artist follows inevitably his nature, his culture, his experience; thereupon to us is easy identify an artist, when we experienced and we have known the style of an artist. To historical art men it is natural because he search in his memory the imagines that can be corresponding to the painting the he is looking; he sees the style that is composed with the sign, the application of color, the graphic style to drawings, where he find the characteristic of author. But also unconsciously the artist or whomsoever gives his style, but what is the style? It is a characteristic that whomsoever lavishes it to whatsoever he makes; and in this work we can find, to semiotic level, his culture, experience and exercise, that is the style. To Michelangelo we can identify him to his characteristic, the translated sculpture to painting, in Sistine chapel; Melville’s(1819-1891), we can identify the style to richness, lyric and deep, the style of Frank Lloyd Wright(1867-1959), to his organic union to nature, Francesco Borromini’s(1599-1667) we can recognize for his dramatic conception of space. We slavish our style also when speak to somebody, hence we can become disagreeable to him or sympathetic to other, because same characteristic somebody has found to us; in fact the waiters must be kindle to everybody, because this is canon the usually is fit to everybody, but differences are also to context, because in an episode that needs of action, therefore we can or we become disagreeable because the context want it; thereby we change our style, and our politeness and we use the arrogance or frankness; this is we can change our style every time, every moment, every day, but a characteristic, whatsoever is always present and give information to extern of our nature; therefore we are recognizable always.
