The article is devoted to a special human ability, which is called by the author “the sense of art”. This feeling is presented as the ability to perceive art, as a way of aesthetic cognition. It shows how art (in this case—painting) affects the viewer, his feelings. The connection of the sense of art with the individuality of the person, with the traditional folk culture is shown. The author concludes that the perception of art is a spiritual activity of a person. Perceiving its pictorial forms, we include all our senses, but this is only the first stage of aesthetic cognition. The sense of art is deeply individual. The more developed the individuality, the deeper it is. That is when mutual enrichment takes place. Art becomes for a person not only a form of emotional enjoyment, but also a form of cognition. Everyone has their unique knowledge of reality. There is also some disunity, alienation of a person, but art can eliminate this disunity.
