Abstract
The paper deals with the image of Pablo Picasso in the novel “Kesarevo svecheniye” (“Cesarean Glow”) by V. P. Aksyonov. The analysis of the imagery is connected with the tradition of representing the Picasso myth-image as part of the Spanish painting personosphere in Russian culture. This myth-image includes the motives of demiurge, who destroys and creates an artistic space, fire-inspiration, trickster, making familiar forms of the surrounding world to look foreign, which is consistent with the narrative syncretism of the Aksyonov’s postmodern text. The motif of “Russian” Picasso is also an important component of the painter’s myth-image, realized by connecting with Russian images of Pushkin, Tatlin, Khlebnikov, Khokhlova, Dilaktorskaya, Stalin and the Gorelik family.
