Summary/Abstract: The essential dialectic of creation is driven by two diametrically opposed permanent trends: one to a canonical conformism(tradition) and the other to progress and innovation (modern).The frame of this dispute remains a historical,a temporal one,the determination of the concepts of “new” and “old”, regardless of the circumstance, being a chronological one: the "new" replaces the "old" in time forever. Twin and conflicting concepts such as : ancient and modern, classical and romantic, tradition and originality, routine and novelty, imitation and innovation, decadence and progress,they all have a certain synonymy, they constitute a paradigm. Antagonistic groups simplify everything, they polarize and typify, they help in making clear aesthetic guidelines. The synthesizing and essentialising aesthetic trends, and especially the syncretism of symbolism in perception, coupled with increasingly frequent intertwining of different artistic genres, have become the modernity recognition brands.
