Abstract:
The history of 20th century painting conventionally identifies abstraction with modernism and the return of figuration with postmodernism. But abstraction ended much earlier, in a spy operation during World War II, when a British intelligence officer, in a stroke of genius, found abstract paintings to be the perfect carriers for secret messages transported across the ocean. For this purpose, he commissioned a painting to Wassily Kandinsky that included a secret message encoded – in the manner of flag signs or Morse code – into its seemingly abstract visual shapes.

The figurative painting from the years 1980-1985 outlines the first page in the evolution of the general stage of “new figurativism” in Moldovan plastic art. The period inscribes a new sub-stage with a unique character, manifested by the inclusion of neo-expressionist landmarks in figurative painting. These are associated with the trends of the sociocultural and artistic environment of the time interested in modern evolution associated with neighboring countries. The artists create a series of new plastic implementations that pursue the experimental involvement of plastic meanings. The plastic

The article deals with the peculiarities of the Union of Russian Artists, a significant association of early 20th century painters. The main attention is paid to the aspects of organizational and creative order, which can be defined by the concept of “synthesis”. This definition is key to the history of the Union for a number of reasons. First of all, the synthesis of creative forces was formed in the daily and exhibition activities of the Union, which united painters with different views on the meaning of their profession, as well as with different style and image preferences.

Abstract:
In Russian fine art, portrait painting has been traditionally distinguished by extraordinary variety and depth, reflecting the figurative and stylistic searches of artists of different periods. Russian art historians have comprehensively studied the portrait genre in the history of art. At the same time, the well-established classification of genres does not allow to take into account completely the variety of trends and approaches to the depiction of a person in contemporary art. The understanding of the portrait genre’s boundaries in contemporary art is extremely blurred. Sometimes it means

Abstract:
This paper analyses and contextualises the artist’s exploration of self-portraiture through the sculptural bust format. Conventionally, the portrait bust epitomises an antiquated view of the human subject as fixed, finite and knowable. The classicistic allusion of the form seems the perfect embodiment of a pre-modern and hopelessly idealised view of subjectivity and its capacity to be represented. This paper will show how, despite these impressions, the portrait bust is in fact a highly volatile sculptural form in which presence and absence are brought into question. When used as a vehicle

Abstract:
The article treats two novels, “The War in the Air” by H.G. Wells and “The Good Soldier” by F.M. Ford, as a sort of “invasion literature” described by C. Eby. In these novels “invasion” has a figurative sense of domination, of cultural absorption, the danger of which is imagined as coming from both Germany and the United States. The transposition of “invasion anxiety”, that was caused by the Franco- Prussian War, to anxiety about Americanization may seem metaphorical, but these are different stages of the same national anxiety about the possible loss of the British Empire’s place in the world
