The purpose of the article is to reveal the impressionistic trends in the fine arts of China, determining the originality of the Chinese oil painting development of the 20th century. Methodology. Historical and cultural, comparative, iconographic and iconological methods are used in the study. Results. The study examines the underinvestigated aspects of Chinese painting development in the first half of the 20th century. The retrospective analysis of the pictural art enables tracing the traditions and innovations in the formation of oil painting in China, which prevails at this historical stage of the national art school development. The desire of Chinese artists to preserve the philosophical foundation and theoretical principles of classical ink painting, and at the same time an interest in Impressionism, have become a peculiar feature of Chinese oil painting. The main trends, dominating at the beginning of the century, persist to this day, defining the development of Chinese oil painting in general. It is determined that the decorativeness and thematic repertoire of classical Chinese ink art has been transferred to oil painting, as evidenced by the booming exhibition activities. The study determined that in the first half of the 20th century, the impressionistic trend was spread in the country, which resulted from the study of Japanese and French masters by Chinese masters. The teaching methods and stylistic searches of Chinese artists of the period under study became the foundation of contemporary Chinese art. The latest trends in Chinese oil painting in the first half of the 20th century are: an artistic rethinking, reminiscences of a similar phenomenon in Western European painting of the late XIX – early XX century. The spread of impressionism contributed to the greatest development of still life and landscape genres, and also brought plein air practice to a new level. Many Chinese artists spread impressionistic ideas not only in artistic creation, but also in art history. The scientific novelty lies in the systematization and factual material analysis on this problem, determining the role of the impressionist trend in the Chinese oil painting development. Practical significance. The results of the study can be used in further studies of the history and theory of Oriental art of the 20th century.

The 20th century was a period of change in the development of Chinese flower-and-bird painting. Traditional brush and ink painting blended with Western painting colors and concepts to present new forms of painting. Following the peak of Ming and Qing Dynasties’ development in Minxi (the western of Fujian) painting, a group of freehand flower-and-bird painters represented by the “four Masters of Shanghang” Li Shaoqi, Luo Xiaofan, Qiu Tian, and Song Shengyu, who inherited the Minxi painting style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, learned the new painting language combines the styles of Paintings of Shanghai school, Lingnanism, and Lingdongism. The unique new style of painting highlights the posture of Minxi flower-and-bird paintings, thus influencing the modern times changes of flower-and-bird paintings of Fujian.

Full textAbstract:
The relevance of the study is determined by the fact that China, like Japan, took oil painting relatively recently. Japan became closely acquainted with Western technology in the 19th century, but at that time they still imposed a taboo on oil painting, the authorities in every way prevented its spread, protecting the traditions of national art. Only the 20th century allowed new trends to finally settle down. The work shows that the understanding of the European painting technology was widely represented in the imperial Celestial Empire. The article shows that the artists did not make a big problem to learn painting skills from the Europeans (originally the Portuguese). They learned the lessons, techniques and technology of European art, despite the fact that they had never had a similar school before. Separately, it is stipulated that cooperation after the formation of the USSR played a great influence on contemporary paintings. This explains the fact that many paintings by Chinese painters are very similar to Russian school of fine art. The authors determine that the Russian style, fully perceived by the PRC, was formed collectively from the Renaissance approach, with the inclusion of impressionism motifs.

Full textAbstract:
Chinese folk painting nianhua (literal translation, “New Year’s picture”) is a kind of Chinese graphic art, which received a wide popularity in the late XIX – early XX centuries. On the eve of the New Year in China everywhere decorated interiors of living rooms with colorful pictures containing New Year’s greetings, they were pasted on windows, doors, gates. Decorative pictures had a utilitarian and cultic purpose: images of mythological characters and gods symbolized happiness, longevity, prosperity, protected from disasters and misfortunes. At the beginning of the 20th century, nianhua was produced in the woodcutting shops in a woodcut way, since the middle of the 20th century have been used modern technologies, including printing. New Year’s paintings significantly different from national academic painting. The philosophical concept of New Year’s painting was to reflect the spiritual life of the people, moral values, and artistic tastes. The images were built on the basis of folklore motifs, a rhythmic combination of bright colors created a decorative effect, so nianhua is a valuable material that demonstrates the aesthetic representations of the Chinese people, their folk traditions and symbols. The themes of the New Year’s paintings are extremely diverse and includes the following: scenes from classical literature, religious and symbolic and benevolent drawings, genre art painting, calendars depicting 12 cyclic signs of animals, agricultural calendars and advertising pictures. During the history of its existence, the New Year’s picture plays an important political and ideological role. Traditional paintings propagated the foundations of the orthodox Confucian ideology about social and ethical relationships, including hierarchy in the family and society: “Wu lun – the five principles of relationships”, “Xiao – filial piety”, “Ren – patience”. In the second half of the XX century, the New Year's picture is developing as an agitational poster. Under the influence of European painting and modern political processes in Chinese society, artists began to use a new artistic method - revolutionary realism on purpose to illuminate sociopolitical events, propagandize government tasks and resolutions. The basic principles of painting the New Year’s picture are the decorative character (the brightness of colors, the rhythmic combination of color spots), the hyperbolism and idealization of images, the folklore basis of plots and the conventional symbolic-metaphoric language.

Full textAbstract:
This article examines the phenomenon of Chinese realism, as well as the prerequisites and factors that influenced the processes of reception in modern Chinese art. At the beginning of the 20th century, under the influence of Western academic realism and the artistic system of social realism, a new direction and artistic method was formed — realism, which became mainstream in the art of China of the mid-20th century. According to its aesthetic and ideological motifs, Chinese realism is an object of social realism reception, which was determined by cultural and historical factors, and the development of political, economic and cultural ties with the USSR. Studying the realistic painting, which reflects the atmosphere of the era, the worldview, and the dialogue of cultures, is relevant for both Chinese and Russian contemporary art studies. The article examines the role of realism in the development of Chinese art culture of the 20th century, including its socio-political components, as well as the dynamics of artistic and expressive means and the iconographic system in the context of the historical and cultural situation. In the 1980s and 1990s, as a result of the liberalization of economic and political life, the artistic consciousness formed new concepts of realistic painting — neorealism and cynical realism, associated with a critical rethinking of the historical heritage. The neorealism and cynical realism, which would significantly enrich realistic painting with new forms and content, adopted Western postmodern concepts of pop art, and debunked, in a grotesque and satirical form, the political stereotypes of the past. The analysis of realistic painting of the 1990s demonstrates how the transformation of past painting canons reflects the desire of society to free itself from the pressure of totalitarian ideology and to rethink the value orientations of the previous era.The novelty of this study lies in the fact that it applies a systematic and holistic approach to the analysis of realism in Chinese painting, reveals the diversity of its forms and directions, and gives ground for the specifics of its evolution in the context of the artistic culture of the 20th century China. There are almost no comprehensive studies of this issue in modern art history, so this work is an attempt to create a scientific approach to the study of this artistic phenomenon and the formation of ideas about how the artistic consciousness of an entire epoch was changing.

Full textAbstract:
The article analyzes the influence of the Itinerants' creative ideas on Chinese realistic painting, the development of which is inseparable from the study of the Itinerants. The article examines how the painting technique and ideology of the Association of Itinerant Art Exhibitions founded in the late 19th century are relevant to many 20th-century Chinese artists. The authors identify the ideological principles of the Itinerant movement that have influenced different generations of Chinese artists (rejection of the “art for art's sake” principle, emphasis on national characteristics of painting, responsibility for reflecting the life of people in the country, advocating the spirit of critical realism as the only true way to reflect life in art) and prove that without Russian Itinerants there would be no Chinese realism in painting and modern Chinese realistic painting. The article identifies and characterizes three stages of adopting the Itinerant creative ideas in China: the period of the Republic of China (acquaintance of the Chinese public with the Itinerants' paintings and understanding the Itinerant ideology at the time of the “Movement for New Culture”), the beginning of the PRC foundation (the period of comprehensive study of realist painting, training of talented Chinese artists in art educational institutions of the USSR as part of the cultural exchange and mastering the principles of Soviet realist art) and the first decade after the Cultural Revolution (a critical “painting of scars” reflecting the experiences and fates of people during the Cultural Revolution). The authors conclude that the study of the Itinerants' creative ideas from the point of view of cultural studies in the context of the Chinese realist art school development is important for understanding the Russian- Chinese cultural dialogue.

Abstract As one of the representative silk-woven artworks of the 20th century in China, Chinese Xiangjin brocade, well-known as “the flower of Oriental art”, draws on the essence of Sichuan brocade, Yun brocade, Song brocade, so as to form its own unique artistic style. It also takes the lead in the innovation of traditional brocade in key processes such as craftsmanship, design and jacquard, whose drawing technique is the exact core skill making it intangible cultural heritage. So far, there have been few studies on crafts and textile design in China before the 20th century or even after the reform and opening up, and rather fewer studies on the structure of Xiangjin brocade in the 20th century. This paper attempts to record and classify 1008 pieces of Xiangjin brocade in the Suzhou Silk Archive, China, as well as to find out their design features, oriental flavour, and unique weaving techniques. In addition, the cultural connotation of Xiangjin brocade as the painting medium was also put forward by analysing those brocades' historical texts, images, and style.

Full textAbstract:
This article is devoted to the hwajohwa artistic genre (bird-and-flower painting) of the late Chosŏn period (18th - early 20th centuries). The study identifies the historical and cultural context and traces the stylistic evolution of the bird-andflower genre. The national features inherent in Korean hwajohwa painting, as well as the influence of traditional Chinese styles and Western European painting techniques on the bird-and-flower genre, are noted. The author outlines the leading artists working in this genre. In the 18th century, the bird-and-flower painting in Korea underwent a significant transformation. The work of professional artists Chŏng Sŏn and Pyŏn Sangbyŏk presents a new realistic approach to hwajohwa painting. Artists began to carefully observe the structural characteristics of the depicted objects of wildlife. Also, artist Sim Sajŏng was a recognised master of the bird-and-flower genre. His work was based on the Chinese “southern school” pictorial principles and aesthetics, the influence of which was strong in Korea. Kim Hondo, the leading artist of the late Chosŏn period, actively used traditional landscape as a background for his works with flowers and birds. However, in depicting living creatures, he did not use formal templates, painting birds in realistic nature scenes. Kim Hondo contributed significantly to the development of Korean traditional painting and the hwajohwa genre. The popularity of the bird-and-flower genre in the late Chosŏn period is mainly due to economic growth and the improvement in the welfare of ordinary people. Most of the works of this genre were created by artists from the people. The works were examples of the so-called minhwa folk painting, which developed in accordance with the requests of a new customer, a native of the lower and middle classes. Such works combined auspicious symbols and were the embodiment of the highest harmony of nature. However, they also began to be used simply to decorate the house. In the hwajohwa painting of the 19th century, a new approach to the depiction of an artist’s personal experiences was reflected; such trends were mixed with the traditional “painting of ideas”. The birdand-flower genre acquired a free style and conveyed fresh aesthetic feelings under the influence of the work of artist Chang Sŭngŏp, whose pictorial approaches were continued and developed by masters at the very end of the Chosŏn era.

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to the albums Ten Landscapes and Travelling Along the River [Painted by] Shitao, attributed to Shitao (1642–1707), a famous Chinese artist and theorist of painting in beginning of the Qing dynasty (1644–1911). The aim of the article is to estab- lish authenticity of the albums. The album Ten Landscapes is in the collection of the State Museum of Oriental Art (Moscow). In 2015 one leaf from it was displayed at the exhibition Classical Painting of China. After visual evaluation and the analysis of painting, calligraphy and seals the author came to conclusion that the album Ten Landscapes could not be the original work of Shitao. It is probably the copy of another album Travelling Along the River [Painted by] Shitao. The latter was very famous among the connoisseur’s circles at the beginning of the 20th century. Therefore, its authenticity is also the subject of scientific discussion. Some of Chinese experts and researchers regard the album Travelling Along the River [Painted by] Shitao as the best example of Shitao’s painting. Others question its authenticity. The author of the article gives arguments to confirm the latter point of view.

Full textAbstract:
В статье исследуется влияние западноевропейского искусства на китайскую живопись, которое шло через опыт японских художников и обучение в Японии китайских мастеров. Роль японской культуры в освоении китайским искусством западноевропейских традиций до сих пор остается недооцененной, часто исследователи не упоминают о связях с Японией, обращаясь сразу к периоду обучения китайских художников в европейских странах, прежде всего во Франции, который был по времени позднее. Однако именно мастера Страны восходящего солнца в конце XIX - начале XX века серьезно повлияли на формирование нового «европейского» языка изобразительного искусства Китая. The article examines the influence of Western European art on Chinese painting, which went through the experience of Japanese artists and training of Chinese masters in Japan. The role of Japanese culture in mastering the Western European traditions in Chinese art is still underestimated, and often researchers do not mention the ties with Japan, referring directly to the period of training of Chinese artists in European countries, primarily in France, which was later in time. However, it was the Japanese masters in the late 19th and early 20th centuries that seriously influenced the formation of the new «European» visual language of China.

Full textAbstract:
Rorschach defines his method as a testing instrument based on the perception of ink blots, on the basis of which the subject finds meaning out of an associative integration of preexistent engrams (mnemonic images) with recent sense complexes. The more ambiguous the visual stimulus is, the more it requires an integrative effort to be decoded, therefore increasing the subject's mental activity and allowing his/her personality resources to be perceived more clearly. The subjects' responses to the stimuli of blots produced in this way would explain how the “mental equipment” organizes and processes stimuli on the basis of the construction of perception processes influenced by early registers in the archives of memory. The blots trigger these constructions, whose “thresholds” account for the potential readiness to tap on thoughts and emotions in processes of adapting to real life. Rorschach might have reached to his own knowledge on the process of construction that underlies the visual image. Most probably inspired by Chinese painting tradition – which exerted great influence on early 20th-century art movements, and relied on image overlapping, vacuum dynamics, shading, light and dark and ambiguity techniques – he constructed “accidental blots” as ideal stimuli to the “guided projection.” Thus, from the Chinese painting Rorschach would have also taken the role played by the spectator, who stimulated by an essentially ambiguous image (act of perception) is supposed to “complete” it in his mind (act of projection). In creating his method, then, Rorschach favored certain types of stimuli, integrating at the same time both his scientific and artistic sides.

Full textAbstract:
The concept of translation as a form of rewriting, developed by André Lefevere, identifies translation as a textual adaptation based on a series of social and cultural factors. Therefore, the act of translating means rewriting a foreign text on the basis of local cultural and poetic norms. The purpose of this article is to apply the concept of rewriting in translation to the approach employed by Ezra Pound in his collection Cathay (1915), which has been chosen as a model to conceptualize the writer’s approach to the translation of Chinese texts. The first section of this article will focus on the different approaches employed in the translation of classical Chinese poems. Following a brief historical overview, two diametrically opposed translation methods developed at the turn of the 20th century, namely the Victorian method and Pound’s method, will be compared. The investigation on Pound’s translation methodology will be then discussed through the analysis of some of the poems included in Cathay. The findings of such analysis will allow for a deeper understanding of Pound’s method, and finally identify to what extent Pound translations (or rewritings) succeeded in painting a clear and unbiased picture of Chinese culture for his Western readers.

Full textAbstract:
Research in the field of cross-cultural communications in the context of modern globalization processes is becoming particularly relevant. Each specific case in cross-cultural interaction has a set of specific features that require detailed study. The article discusses the features of Russian-Chinese cross-cultural communication in the field of fine art, which have been especially pronounced since the second half of the 20th century and until now. The analysis of generally accepted types of communication made it possible to show specific forms of interaction between Russia and China.There is demonstrated that these features are largely related to the fact that the process of cross-cultural interaction occurs not only at the level of communication between representatives of the two peoples, but also in the process of artistic and stylistic exchange at the level of art works perception. Thus, cross-cultural communication refers to the process of information exchange at different levels. Russian-Chinese communication features include the intrapersonal perception of Russian art, style and genre features of the Russian realistic school, that influenced the style of Chinese artists; the interaction between individual artists and students, the unique contacts between a teacher-master and a student studying individually in the art studio. In the period under review, the communications were often unilateral — Chinese students and artists adopting the traditions of the Russian realistic school of painting, both by inviting Russian artists to China and studying in Russia. The specificity is also shown in the interaction between professional creative unions of artists, joint holding of exhibitions, and organization of plein-airs, during which a multi-level exchange of cultures can happen.

There are several collections of Chinese popular woodblock prints nianhua in the fund of the Peter the Great Museum of Anthropology and Ethnography, Russian Academy of Sciences (the Kunstkamera) acquired from different collectors. The paper addresses the so-called Okulich collection (MAE No. 3676) consisting of 250 original titles, most of which possess undoubted artistic value. According to the dated sheets, the prints were produced in the last years of the 19th century, and no later than 1904. We only know that, in 1928, a man named Okulich donated these prints to the Kunstkamera. Two groups of paintings from this collection are discussed in more detail: a series of prints that represent illustrations for the main Chinese textbook The Thousand Character Essay (Qian zi wen), and those named xiaojiaochang nianhua printed in Shanghai in the early 20th century. Their scrutiny allows us to conclude that the collector was both serious and skillful in selecting sheets for this collection: apart from being fluent in Chinese, he was a connoisseur of Chinese traditional culture and lived in China for a long time. We discovered a large family with surname Okulich who lived in China in the first half of the last century, and contacted a member of this family, but she was unable to help us with identifying the potential collector.

In China, rock art is spread mainly in the border regions – carvings and engravings in the north of the country and paintings in the south. Before the beginning of the 21st century, research books and albums of petroglyphs were published in four administrative units at provincial level in the north-west of the county: Inner Mongolia, Ningxia, Xinjiang and Qinghai. Petroglyphs of Inner Mongolia were studied and published by Gai Shanlin, Liang Zhenhua and N. Dalengurib. The earliest and the latest books by Gai Shanlin available to us (published in 1985 and 2002 respectively) were entirely devoted to the interpretation of rock carvings and searches for their analogies. All four monographs on Ningxia rock art – by Zhou Xinghua, Li Xiangshi and Zhu Cunshi, Xu Cheng and Wei Zhong were published almost simultaneously, at the beginning of the 1990s. Ancient rock art of Xinjiang was published in albums by Zhao Yangfeng, Wang Linshan and Wang Bo and in books by Wang Binghua and Su Beihai. The monograph by Tang Huisheng and Zhang Wenhua was devoted to the description of Qinghai petroglyphs and the problems of their interpretation. The album of photos “The Rock Arts of China” is a kind of a guide to the main rock art sites known by 1993 in all the Chinese provinces. Generally, it can be stated that modern Chinese scientific rock art research was born in the first half of the 1980s, when the first articles on rock carvings started to appear in Chinese archaeological periodicals and flourished in the second half of the 1980s and the 1990s, when quite a number of monographs were published.

In 1988, the Shanghai Animation Film Studio produced a 19-minute short film Shanshui qing 山水情, known in English as Feeling from Mountain and Water. Devoid of dialogue, the film recounts the friendship between an elderly musician and a young fisherwoman. The last of the Studio’s ink-wash animation project, Feeling from Mountain and Water transfers the visuality of traditional Chinese landscape paintings to the cinematic format. My paper focuses on this market-reform-era production and examines the little-discussed afterlife of landscape art in the medium of animation. Conjoining visual analyses, animators’ self-accounts, and existing literature on 20th-century Chinese art, I aim to resituate Feeling from Mountain and Water in the historical juncture when it was created. Specifically, I argue that instead of a forced resurrection of traditional aesthetic, the film belongs to an unbroken artistic lineage in the Chinese landscape tradition, complicates the issue of “the artist’s hand” in Chinese pictorial art, as well as reflects the ever-changing political and economic climate from the Republican era to the age of the market reforms.

Dear readers, We are pleased to present to you Issue 4, 2022, of the scientific and analytical journal Burganov House. The Space of Culture. Upon the recommendation of the Expert Council of the Higher Attestation Commission, the journal is included in the List of Leading Peer-reviewed Scientific Journals and Publications in which the main scientific results of theses for the academic degrees of doctor and candidate of science must be published. The journal publishes scientific articles by leading specialists in various humanitarian fields, doctoral students, and graduate students. Research areas concern topical problems in multiple areas of culture, art, philology, and linguistics. This versatility of the review reveals the main specificity of the journal, which represents the current state of the cultural space. The journal opens with articles by Chinese researchers devoted to the art of Ancient China. In the article "The Heaven-and-Man Oneness Concept and the Style of Funerary Plastic Art During the Han Dynasty", Xiang Wu analyses the idea of heaven-and-man oneness, which was important for the art of this period. It was based on the Confucian view, the rituals of a strict social hierarchy and Taoist metaphysics. Qiu Mubing’s scientific research topic is “Objects of the Funerary Cult in the Han Dynasty. Gold and Silver Items. Aesthetics of Gold and Silver in the Han Dynasty”. Examining archaeological sources, the author concludes the high achievements of Chinese artisans during the Han Dynasty on examples of works of arts and crafts made of precious metals. In the article “Aesthetics of the Song Dynasty. The Origins of the New Style of Furniture Design in China", N.Kazakova and Qiu Qi analyse the vector of development of the furniture industry through the prism of the industrial design evolution. The reasons for the emergence of the New style in furniture design in China are studied. They are analysed in detail against the background of changing economic, political and cultural realities. The issues of the influence of Ancient China aesthetics on the formation and development of a new language in furniture design are touched upon. In the article "Problems of Colour Harmonisation of Composition and Development of Associative and Imaginative Thinking in the Environmental Design", N.Bogatova reveals the potential of colouristic graphic two-dimensional modelling in artistic and imaginative thematic compositions. On the example of the compositional laws of colouristics, the author traces the path of ascent from the concrete to the abstract, pictorial to the expressive, and emotional to the figurative. P.Dobrolyubov presents the text “Sculptor Alexander Matveev’s School and His Students”, which includes many archival documents and photographs. The author describes the process of learning from teacher and sculptor A.Matveev, names the main dates in his creative work, reveals the details of the sculptural craft, talks about the variety of moves in the master’s plasticity, analyses the methods and principles of work in sculpture, shows the attitude of students to their teacher, and highlights the entire course of historical milestones in the sculptor’s creative biography. In the article "The Golden Age of PRC History Painting (1949–1966): Origins, Searches, Achievements”, K.Gavrilin and L.Xiaonan consider the issues of the formation of the modern Chinese art school. Its foundation was laid in the framework of the creative and educational dialogue between China and the Soviet Union at the beginning of the second half of the 20th century. The authors believe that the characteristic features of the golden age of Chinese historical painting were, on the one hand, the popularisation of painting as an art form and, on the other hand, the predominance of the dominant position of realism over the traditional styles of Chinese painting. It is noted that during this period, two main plots became widespread: scenes of socialist construction and historical events of the revolution. S.Zubarev considers theoretical and practical aspects of the activities of military musicians in the article "Academic Music in the Practice of Russian Military Bands of the 19th - early 21st Centuries". In the process of studying military bands, special attention is paid to the study of the features of military band service development in the 19th and 20th centuries. Factors revealing the role of Russian composers in the history of military musical culture are highlighted, and several works of academic music performed by military bands are analysed. In conclusion, the author notes that in the national culture, unique conditions for the development of military musicians’ arranging activity were created. They made it possible to preserve the traditions of the military band service and form the value principles of academic art. The publication is addressed to professionals specialising in the theory and practice of the fine arts and philology and all those interested in the arts and culture.

Конец ХХ – XXI век — период активного взаимодействия России и Китая в сфере искусства. Китайское изобразительное искусство испытало серьезное влияние русской академической школы и традиций русского реализма в целом. Современная российская живопись также обогащается элементами китайского искусства, поскольку в последние десятилетия чрезвычайно расширились культурные контакты, которые влияют на творчество отечественных художников. В петербургском искусстве происходят интересные процессы взаимодействия и взаимовлияния разных культур. Петербург становится центром пересечения Востока и Запада. Эти изменения касаются даже такой устойчивой школы, как академическая, связанной с традициями реалистического искусства. Этот феномен нуждается в изучении. Особую роль в художественном взаимообмене играет современная петербургская академическая школа. Новизна данного исследования состоит в изучении некоторых явлений китайской культурной жизни, связанных с влиянием петербургского искусства, и в выявлении взаимовлияний, которые обнаруживаются в творчестве китайских и петербургских мастеров живописи. В статье использованы методы компаративного анализа, наблюдения, интервьюирования для определения общих закономерностей развития искусства двух стран. Современные петербургские художники, представляющие академическую школу, чрезвычайно востребованы в Китае, многократно там бывали и сотрудничают на разных уровнях с представителями культурной общественности. Китайские коллекционеры и деятели искусства активно сотрудничают с художниками и разрабатывают интересные проекты. Во время пандемии в 2019–2020 годы реальные контакты между странами сократились, но переместились в виртуальное пространство, теперь многие образовательные и культурные программы проходят в дистанционном режиме. Творческие связи не ослабевают, и это дает надежду на дальнейшее развитие культурного сотрудничества на всех уровнях. The end of the 20th and the 21st century is a period of active interaction between Russia and China in the field of art. Chinese fine art has been seriously influenced by the Russian academic school and the traditions of Russian realism in general. Modern Russian painting is also enriched with elements of Chinese art, since cultural contacts that influence the art of domestic artists have expanded enormously in recent decades. Interesting processes of interaction and mutual influence of different cultures take place in Petersburg art. St. Petersburg becomes the center of the intersection of East and West. These changes concern even such a stable school as the academic one, connected with the traditions of realistic art. This phenomenon needs to be studied. A special role in the artistic interchange is played by the modern St. Petersburg academic school. The novelty of this research consists in studying some phenomena of Chinese cultural life associated with the influence of St. Petersburg art and in identifying mutual influences that are found in the works of Chinese and St. Petersburg masters of painting. The article uses methods of comparative analysis, observation, and interviewing to identify common patterns of the development of art in the two countries. Contemporary St. Petersburg artists representing the academic school are extremely in demand in China, have been there many times and cooperate at various levels with representatives of the cultural community. Chinese art-collectors and artists actively cooperate with artists and develop interesting projects. During the pandemic, real contacts between countries decreased, but moved to the virtual space. Now many educational and cultural programs are held remotely. Creative ties do not weaken and this gives hope for the further development of cultural cooperation at all levels.

В статье рассматриваются художественные аспекты китайского лубочного промысла в д. Янцзябу близ г. Вэйфан, уезд Вэйсянь, провинция Шаньдун. Данный центр находится на пересечении торговых путей между севером и югом, что позволило его мастерам знакомиться с творчеством своих коллег из других регионов. В результате мы наблюдаем интереснейший путь от прямого копирования до формирования оригинального местного стиля, образов и художественных приемов. В наши дни, на фоне стремительного технического прогресса и социальных изменений в обществе, каждый народный промысел находит свои оригинальные пути развития и сохранения прежних традиций. Информация, содержащаяся в статье, знакомит читателей с новейшим этапом истории развития лубочного промысла во второй половине XX - начале XXI в. Основой исследования стали материалы, собранные автором в экспедиции по центрам народных промыслов провинции Шаньдун в апреле 2015 г., а также китайские издания последних лет, посвященные китайской народной картине. Новизна приводимых материалов заключается в том, что ранее подробная информация о данном центре на русском языке не публиковалась. This article examines artistic aspects of Yangjiabu folk prints (Weifang City, Weixian County, Shandong Province). Yangjiabu is located at the intersection of trade routes between the north and the south, which has allowed its artists to become acquainted with the work of their colleagues from other regions. As a result, we see an interesting development from direct copying to a synthesis of local styles, borrowed images and artistic techniques. Nowadays, when we live in a world of rapid technological progress and social change, every folk craft finds its own ways to develop and preserve its traditions. This article introduces the latest stage in the history of the folk print industry, from the second half of the 20th - early 21st century. It is based on materials the author collected on an expedition to the centers of folk crafts in Shandong province in April 2015, as well as on recent Chinese publications devoted to folk painting. Information about this center of folk prints has not previously been published in Russian.

Dear readers, We are pleased to present to you Issue 5, 2021, of the scientific and analytical journal Burganov House. The Space of Culture. Upon the recommendation of the Expert Council of the Higher Attestation Commission, the journal is included in the List of Leading Peer-reviewed Scientific Journals and Publications in which the main scientific results of theses for the academic degrees of doctor and candidate of science must be published. The journal publishes scientific articles by leading specialists in various humanitarian fields, doctoral students, and graduate students. Research areas concern topical problems in multiple areas of culture, art, philology, and linguistics. This versatility of the review reveals the main specificity of the journal, which represents the current state of the cultural space. The journal traditionally opens with the Academic Interview rubric. In this issue, we present an interview with Alexander Burganov, Academician of the Russian Academy of Arts, an outstanding Russian sculptor, National Artist of Russia, Doctor of Art History, Professor, Director of the Burganov House Moscow State Museum, interviewed by Irina Sedova, the Head of the 20th Century Sculpture Department of the State Tretyakov Gallery. This dialogue became part of the sculptor’s creative evening at the State Tretyakov Gallery, which included a personal exhibition, donation of the sculptural work Letter, screening of a special film and a dialogue with the audience in the format of an interactive interview. In the article “The Apocalypse Icon from the Kremlin’s Assumption Cathedral. Dating and Historical Context”, T. Samoilova points out the similarities between some motifs of the Apocalypse iconography and the motifs of Botticelli’s illustrations to the Divine Comedy, as well as the role of a line in both artworks which testifies to the influence of the Renaissance art on icon painting of the late 15th — early 16th centuries. Studying palaeography and stylistic features of the icon, the author clarifies the dates and believes that the icon was most likely painted after 1500, in the first decade of the 16th century. P. Tsvetkova researches the features of the development of the Palladian architectural system in Italy, in the homeland of Andrea Palladio. On the examples of specific monuments, drawings and projects created during two and a half centuries, the author analyses the peculiarities of the style transformation in the work of Palladio’s followers, the continuity of tradition, deviations from canonical rules. In the article “Artistic Features of the Northern White Night Motif in the Landscapes of Alexander Borisov and Louis Apol”, I. Yenina conducts art analysis and compares the works of the Russian “artist of eternal ice”, A. Borisov, and the Dutch “winter artist”, L. Apol. They were the first to depict such a phenomenon as a white night in the Far North. V. Slepukhin studies the artworks of the first decades of the Soviet era in the article “Formation of the Image of a New Hero in Russian Art of 1920- 1930”. The author concludes that the New Hero in the plastic arts of the 1920s–1930s was formed as a reflection of social ideals. The avant-garde artists searched for the Hero’s originality in the images of aviators, peasants, women. The artists of socialist realism began to form the images of the “typical” heroes of the time — warriors, athletes, rural workers, scientists, as new “people of the Renaissance”. In the article “Dialogues of the Avant-garde”, A. N. Lavrentyev presents a comparative analysis of spatial constructions created by the Russian Avant-Garde Artist Alexander Rodchenko and the famous kinetic European and American artist Alexander Calder in the first half of the 20th century. Wei Xiao continues his analysis of contemporary art in the article “Chinese Sculpture in the New Era”. The author notes that the art of sculpture is in many ways a reflection of social change, both in terms of cultural content and practice. The author emphasises the need for cultural identity to preserve national traditions and spirituality. Xu Yanping’s article “The Dynamics of the Choral Culture Development in China in the 1930s on the Example of Huang Tzi’s Oratorio Eternal Regret” is a scientific study of a particular phase of the active entry of Chinese choral music into the sphere of the oratorio genre, directly related to the name of the great Chinese composer, Huang Tzi. It also highlights the issues of the country’s political life in the 1930s, which actively influenced the creation of nationwide singing movements and new choral works in the country. The author believes that the oratorio Eternal Regret presented in the article is a unique creation that organically combines ethnic musical material and Western composition techniques. The publication is addressed to professionals specialising in the theory and practice of the fine arts and philology and all those interested in the arts and culture.

Full textAbstract:
At the turn of the century, opera was leaderless after the heady days of Verdi and Wagner. Puccini emerged as the new voice of Italian opera, where realism, or verismo, was the way forward. But verismo could never be the answer to the operatic dilemma that faced the latest composers, since it only gave a musical dimension to a stage painting of ‘life as it is’, without reference to underlying psychodynamics — I personally have never thought Puccini much of an intellectual. Beautiful his music may be, but as thinking pieces of theatre they are devoid of real challenges. Their appeal and potency lies, to a great extent, in Puccini's obsession with needless suffering.

Founded in 1429, the Solovetsky Monastery has throughout several centuries preserved and maintained the traditions of Russian icon painting in the North. In its iconpainting chamber (the building was constructed in 1615), new iconostases were created and icons from the churches of the monastery and patrimonial lands in Pomorie were repaired. In the 17th century, 45 icon painters worked on Solovki in different years, among them were monks, monastery servants, and “trudniks” (lay workers). In the 18th century, the artists of the Pomor patrimonial lands underwent their initial training at the monastery school of icon painting. Families of hereditary icon painters Chalkovs and Savins from Sumsky Posad are particularly well-known. The monastery sent the most gifted students to St. Petersburg and Moscow to improve their art. In 1880, the Solovetsky painting school was inaugurated, where many northern icon painters acquired basic painting skills. Copying and painting from life formed the basis of the educational process; students were offered paintings from the Academy of Arts as samples. The icons and paintings made in the workshop are distinguished by their characteristic stylistic, technical and technological features. The most prominent graduates of the school (A. A. Borisov, N. G. Bekryashev) contributed significantly to the history of Russian art. The article contains new archival documents and rare photographs.

Full textAbstract:
This paper begins by examining the discourse on the term and concept of meishu that emerged in early twentieth-century China and was centered on how to construct meishu as a form of cultural establishment and a discipline distinct from other art genres. It then considers the social and cultural contexts behind the evolution of the meaning of meishu, focusing on Chinese artists’ and art critics’ complicated attitudes toward both Chinese artistic tradition and the influence of Western art, as reflected in their varied views on literati painting and its xieyi tradition. This paper demonstrates that the Chinese art world’s process of redefining meishu as fine arts was a clear indicator of the artistic endeavor to rediscover the roles of painting in Chinese society. Meanwhile, the paper also pays renewed attention to literati painting and its xieyi tradition by rethinking the relationship between the long-standing literati painting tradition and the increasing Western artistic trends in China. The Chinese art world of the early twentieth-century constantly attempted to encompass both Chinese and Western painting traditions, and relentlessly tried to merge the strengths of the Chinese tradition with Western influences in order to pave the way for a new Chinese painting tradition.

Цель данного исследования — познакомить специалистов, занимающихся изучением и реставрацией произведений китайской живописи, с опытом, полученным в Государственном Эрмитаже. В процессе изучения текстов «Альбома рисунков. Путешествие императора Цяньлуна на юг Китая» хранителем К.Ф. Самосюк была установлена дата его создания — 1751–1758 годы. Альбом с китайской живописью был исследован всесторонне: проведены физико-химические и биологические исследования, которые позволили определить методику его реставрации. В России мало информации о реставрации альбомов такого рода. Исследование и реставрация китайской живописи осложняется хрупкостью материалов — бумаги и шелка, а также утонченностью техники живописи, поэтому были выбраны неразрушающие методы исследования без взятия проб. Рассматривались также этические проблемы. Были применены физический, химический и биологический анализы для определения подходящего метода реставрации. Биологические исследования подтвердили необходимость замены старых, обветшавших страниц альбома новыми. Для реставрации и сохранения альбома были использованы традиционные китайские методы реставрации и собственный опыт. Об исследовании и реставрации китайской живописи и каллиграфии, помещенных в альбомы, не так много информации. Наряду с другими источниками впервые в отечественной практике было использовано «Иллюстрированное руководство по монтированию китайской каллиграфии и живописи» Янь Гуйжуна, 2013. В статье также рассматривается проблема адаптации альбомов с живописью и каллиграфией к новым требованиям хранения и экспонирования графики. Изменение исторической формы монтирования листов с изображениями было вызвано сильным разрушением конструкции альбома. Новая форма хранения позволила выставлять альбом отдельными листами на различных тематических выставках с возможностью их ротации на экспозиции. В данной статье показан логический ход выбора методики реставрации, основанный на результатах исследований памятника и сочетании традиционных и современных методов реставрации. The aim of the article is to share our experience of restoring the Album of Drawings. The Emperor Qian Long’s Tour of Inspection to Southern China. Curator K.F. Samosyuk has dated the album to 1751–1758. There is little information in Russia on restoring albums of this kind. Restoration of painting on paper and silk is complicated by the fragility of the support material and painting technique; we therefore chose non – destructive research methods without taking samples. Ethical problems were also considered. For the first time we used physical, chemical and biological analysis to determine the appropriate restoration method. Biological research led us to replace old, faded album pages with new ones. We then used traditional Chinese restoration methods and our own experience to restore and preserve the album. Along with other sources, for the first time in Russia, Yan Guirong’s Illustrated Instructions for the Mounting of Chinese Calligraphy and Painting, 2013 was used. The key factor, though, was the experience we gained during research secondments at Shanghai Museum. We also examine the problem of adapting painting and calligraphy albums to new requirements for the preservation and exhibiting of graphic art. Historically, album pages with illustrations were mounted in pairs and glued together. Because of the album’s severe state of deterioration we decided to mount the pages on separate sheets. This new form of preservation has enabled separate pages from the album to be shown at differently – themed exhibitions and for rotation to take place. The article shows the logical process involved in choice of restoration method based on our research findings and a combination of traditional and modern restoration methods.

Full textAbstract:
In the Rijksmuseum collection there is a painting depicting the Buddhist deity Water-Moon Avalokite´svara. The identification and dating of this painting are complex. It had long been considered to be a Chinese work of the Song Dynasty and dated to the twelfth century; later it was regarded as a Chinese work from the Yuan Dynasty and dated to the fourteenth century; more recently opinion shifted and it was seen as a Korean Buddhist painting from the Goryeo Dynasty and dated to the first half of the fourteenth century. This essay aims to serve as a fundamental research by examining the iconography and style of this painting in detail. The author argues on the basis of style that this painting is a late fourteenth-century Japanese hybrid creation that combines both Chinese iconography and the colouring of Chinese Song Buddhist painting with decorative elements of Korean Goryeo Buddhist painting. In light of the recent research into the inter-regional connection of East Asian Buddhist image production, the Rijksmuseum Water-Moon Avalokite´svaraprovides an example of the artistic interactions between China, Korea and Japan in the fourteenth century.

Full textAbstract:
The semantics of the doll in painting is not sufficiently investigated in art history and culture studies. The doll is never an accidental or unimportant component of a painting; it reveals deep psychological and symbolic undertones, complicates and concretizes the content of the painting. Each art style deals with this topic in its own way. The aim of the article is to analyse the interpretation of the image of the doll in various styles of painting of the second half of the XIX century – beginning of the XX century: in realistic painting, in symbolism, impressionism, and modernism. The research methods are the analysis of literature, the descriptive method, the hermeneutic method, and the comparative analysis method. The article may be useful for researchers in art and cultural studies, and can be used at school and university courses in the History of Art and Culture.

Full textAbstract:
This article examines Marina Tsvetaeva’s modernist perception of the personality and paintings of the greatest representative of the Russian avant-garde of the 20th century in the essay “Natalia Goncharova. Life and Work” (“Наталья Гончарова. Жизнь и творчество”, 1929). Goncharova’s paintings that Tsvetaeva describes in her essay are indicated. The principles of modernist poetics and ekphrasis are revealed (lyrical subjectivism, ontology, consonance, anagrammatic disclosure of the inner form of a word, mythologization, reader co-creation, dialogism). The similarity between Tsvetaeva’s understanding of painting and poetry is compared to the ontological understanding of art by Martin Heidegger. This can be explained by the tradition of ontological poetry (Friedrich Hölderlin and Rainer Maria Rilke), which is important for both. The ontology of Goncharova’s painting is also considered in the context of the ontology of animals in Russian philosophy at the beginning of the 20th century (Vasily Rozanov) and in the Tahitian Painting of Paul Gauguin. Special attention is paid to ekphrastic poetics (style, tropes, consonance), with the help of which Tsvetaeva authentically transfers the ontologism of Goncharov’s painting in its stylistic diversity (cubism, neo-primitivism, rayonism) to the verbal level. Tsvetaeva and Goncharova in the respective Russian and European context (Gauguin, Rozanov, Heidegger, Rilke) appear as exponents of the ontological turn in the culture of the first half of the 20th century.

Full textAbstract:
The depiction of Hungarian village and rural life ap-peared as a motif of outstanding significance in 20th-century painting. The representation of the hungarian village and ru-ral life appeared as an outstanding motif in the 20th century painting. The variations in the appearance of the topic are closely related to the transformations of Hungarian society in the 20th century (vagy 20th century helyett:era). The focus is on each in artistic oeuvres to depict the rural sites of civic life and to the myth of a peasant living in harmony with nature and folklorization, elsewhere a new, pantheistic one falls to cre-ate a picture of nature. In the artistic oeuvres the focus was on the representation of the civil life’s rural locations, on the myth of peasants who live in harmony with nature, more on their folklrisation and elsewhere on a new, pantheistic nature-picture creation.

Introduction. The Kalmyks are a Mongolic Buddhist people that arrived in the Volga region in the 17th century. The specific ethnic features of Buddhism professed by the Kalmyks took shape over centuries of Russian suzerainty and were determined by various historical factors, including prolonged remoteness from Buddhist centers, the total eradication of Buddhist monasteries and centuries-long ban on spiritual guidance experienced in the 20th century, and the official Buddhist restoration by the early 21st century. Goals. The work aims at identifying and comparing traditional and contemporary Buddhist thangka patterns as elements to mirror particular features of Kalmyk iconography, as essential objects of religious cult and cultural heritage at large. Results. The paper shows that in the pre-20th century period Kalmyks used different techniques for producing thangkas — painting, embroidery, and applique ones. In the late 18th century onwards, imports of religious attributes from Tibet and Mongolia were restricted, and the role of art workshops affiliated to local Buddhist temples increased. That resulted in further development of thangka painting schools and the shaping of somewhat ethnic style in depicting Buddhist deities characterized by certain differences from canonical images. The old thangkas from private and public collections have served a basis for the restoration of ethnic painting traditions integral to Kalmykia’s Buddhism proper. The contemporary practices of producing divine images are closely related to stages in the regional development of Buddhism from the late 20th century to the present, lay Buddhist experiences, women’s leisure-time activities, and ethnic entrepreneurship. The study concludes contemporary Kalmyk needlewomen are guided by traditional rules of religious craftsmanship.

<p>著名建築師、畫家陳其寬先生的建築設計與繪畫創作之間的關聯是一個重要卻尚未被充分探索的領域。為補此闕漏，本文以脈絡化的研究方法，將陳的繪畫創作以及四件早期建築設計作品放回20世紀前半葉視覺藝術與現代建築思潮共同發展的過程中探討，結合當時風行並影響他的《時間•空間•建築》、《視覺語言》和〈透明性〉等三部著作，探索當時國際上關注的「透明性」概念與「圖—底關係」如何啟發陳其寬先生的思維和表現方式。本文主張結合陳的繪畫與建築共同探討有助於得到更為整體的認識，並發現建築與繪畫是他用於探索同一種空間新觀念的兩種不同媒介。透過對陳之繪畫與建築作品的深入分析，本文指出：1. 陳透過「圖」與「底」之交互疊合，試驗其所造成看似裁切、實則使空間與畫面延伸之心理感知效果；2. 陳藉操作「現象的透明性」創造模糊多義的空間，從中既可見前述西方思潮帶來的影響，亦可見陳結合自身文化底蘊所開展出的創新路徑；3. 陳以具有地域特色的透空建築皮層、質紋拓墨／紙背塗色等特殊技法表現「字面的透明性」，一方面回應、修改了玻璃在西方建築、繪畫中表現透明性時扮演的角色，另一方面也同時挑戰、革新了中國傳統水墨與空間營造中既定的做法與價值觀。這些都是具有開創性的視覺與空間設計思維。陳其寬先生並非僅止於被動接受西方建築與繪畫的影響，而是以此為基礎，在持續的試驗中發展出嶄新的空間感受與視覺語言。</p> <p> </p><p>The correlation between architectural designs and paintings created by the distinguished architect and painter Chen Chi-Kwan has not yet been well discovered. To make up for this gap, this article methodologically contextualizes Chen’s paintings and early architectural designs together within the trends of Analytical Cubism and Architectural Modernism developed in the first half of the 20th century. Three crucial writings in understanding this correlation are identified as Space, Time and Architecture: The Growth of A New Tradition, Language of Vision, and Transparency: Literal and Phenomenon. By analogously comparing Chen’s architectural designs and paintings, the author points out that, first of all, via overlapping figure and ground, Chen experimented on the visual perception of excision and extension. Second, Chen played with “phenomenal transparency” and created spatial ambiguity. Although under apparent Western influences, Chen tried his own brand new ways of expression. Third, the concept of “literal transparency” and multi-layered space could also be seen in Chen’s works. However, certain special techniques he adopted not only redefined the materiality of glass, but also challenged the conventional ways of Chinese painting and building. Inspired by but not limited to Western Modernism, Chen Chi-Kwan developed his own spatial and visual languages with cultural characteristics. As two kinds of medium in exploring the same new spatial concept of transparency, architectural designs and paintings are complementary and equally satisfactory in result to Chen Chi-Kwan.</p> <p> </p>

The painting of the Kronstadt St. Nicholas Naval Cathedral is one of the largest and little-studied monuments of Russian church painting of the early 20th century. Тhe study of the iconographic program of the painting of the cathedral will fill in the gaps in our understanding of the development of Russian art of that period. The article undertakes an iconographic analysis of some compositions united by liturgical symbolism, which brings us closer to a more complete understanding of the artistic method of the authors of the painting.

Full textAbstract:
Saratov is justifiably called one of the most significant centers of the artistic culture of the Russian Near-Volga Region. When analyzing the condition of that domain of the plastic arts represented by painting and graphics, it is necessary to state that during the course of the entire 19th century (not to mention the previous century) the figures of the artists were merely episodic: Jean Baptiste Savin, a Frenchman in his origin (famous for his portraits and watercolors), watercolor painter Maria Zhukova, Andrei Godin (who was the first teacher of Mikhail Vrubel) and Feodor Vassiliev (the first instructor of Victor Borisov-Musatov), portraitists and church painters Lev Igorev and Nikolai Rossov. For the most part, the artists who worked beyond the confines of Saratov were its natives, who were veritably well-known artists – Vassily Zhuravlev and Alexei Kharlamov. The high flourishing of painting in Saratov at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century was prepared by the activities of Hector Baracchi, originally from Italy, and graduate from the St. Petersburg Academy of the Arts Vassily Konovalov. They exerted a decisive influence on the local artistic school, the main representatives of which were Victor Borisov-Musatov, Pavel Kuznetsov, Piotr Utkin, Alexander Savinov, Kuzma Petrov-Vodkin (a native of Khvalynsk), as well as sculptor Alexander Matveyev. However, there were three names which have become the most “celebrated” for Saratov, which led the brilliant assemblage of remarkable artists pertaining to the visual arts and were in the vanguard of the so-called era of “cultural boom,” as the high artistic accomplishments of the late 19th and early 20th century are sometimes referred to. They are Victor Borisov-Musatov, Pavel Kuznetsov and Kuzma Petrov-Vodkin. The present essay is devoted to them.

Full textAbstract:
With the outbreak of the Opium War in the mid-XIXth century, advanced foreign science and technology made the Chinese nationalists see the gap between them and the developed countries, so they gradually began to lose their sense of national pride and realized the importance of learning and adopting Western technology, Western culture, Western thought and Western education, and step by step they started to study the West comprehensively. In this context, European oil painting was brought to China. The first part of the article analyzes the heated debates that arose in Chinese cultural and artistic circles during the XXth century, when European art began to be widely introduced into China. In the second part, the spread of European oil painting in China and the development of Chinese oil painting in the XXth century are divided into three main stages according to the development characteristics of different eras. It also discusses the main ways of introducing and disseminating new painting techniques, teaching methods and the extent of influence at each stage. After more than 100 years, European oil painting was accepted by China and became an important part of Chinese culture.

Full textAbstract:
The merchant class, which contributed to the improvement of Russia, evolved due to politicial reforms. Especially in 1861 the emancipation reform of the Russian serfs caused social and culturel changes in the life of merchants. In 19th and early 20th century, the works of Russian genre painters P.A. Fedetov, A.P. Ryabushkin, V.G. Perov, F. Juravlev and B.M. Kustodiyev not only reflected the social situation and stereotypes of merchants, but also revealed cultural history of the mentioned class. In this paper it is aimed to disclose the evolution of merchant class in 19th and the early 20th century, observing and analysing the art of Russian painting in sociocultural perspective.

Full textAbstract:
The article deals with a number of issues highlighted in the research of monumental painting during the 1960–2000s, and follows the development of art studies literature during the specified period. Ukrainian monumental painting during the second half of the 20th century evolved rather unequally, which affecte the art criticism reflections. In the 1960's and 80's the active and dynamic development of monumental art took place. Research in this area also reached the peak of its popularity. For example, the article of I. Pronina contains a review of publications from 1973–1974, and the author brought the statistics indicating more than 200 works. (180) Since the mid-1960's, academics have been increasingly focusing on monumental art. The attitude to monumental painting in the art history literature of the 1960's is ambiguous. However, most researchers are still critical of post-war practice and consider monumental works of the late 1950`s and 1960`s as a step forward. The distinctive differences between the 1960's and 1970's – 1980's lie in various attitudes towards themes and scenes of the monumental painting. In the 1960's the monumentality was associated with the laconic content, using a set of all understandable associative attributes. The expansion of the range of themes in monumental painting in the professional literature occured in the 1970's. Since the research problem stands at the crossroads of various branches of art, important scientific advancements were reflected in such prominent professional publications as: "Architecture of the USSR", "Decorative art of the USSR" and "Fine Arts". In the 1970's the publishing house "Soviet artist" released a series of articles compilations called "Soviet monumental art." The state of monumentalism significantly changes in 1990's as there was a significant decline in the activity of this artistic direction. At this time the monumental painting fell into the field of wide-scale artistic studies. In the professional literature of the last decade the scope of art study themes has changed to a certain extent as the art historians more often address the issues previously tabooed in Soviet times, and some of them partially or fully relate to the monumental painting. To such themes belong the Sixties and Boichukizm. Today the problem of the preservation of Soviet monumental works sharply appears. Many authors turn to the theme of monumental art in order to attract the attention of society to the rapid destruction of mosaics and wall murals, and to prove their value for Ukrainian fine arts.
