Неофициальное искусство Саратова: проблема эволюции художественного языка в 1960–1980-е гг.

Abstract

The unofficial art of Saratov 1960s – 1980s was not considered in art history as a separate artistic phenomenon for a long time. This is due to the strong influence on Saratov artists of informal art of Leningrad and Moscow. In addition, the residents of Saratov almost did not unite in art groups with common programs, which makes it difficult to study the main trends in the development of this regional school. Nevertheless, in the last decade the discussion of the specifics of the Saratov school has become relevant – there were publications devoted to the formation of Saratov informal art and the work of its key masters (M. N. Arzhanov, V. F. Chudin, V. A. Solyanov, V. V. Lopatin, L. E. Pererezova). In the 1960s and 1980s the artistic language of Saratov unofficial art is a synthesis of a number of approaches: the interpretation of the heritage of domestic painting of the late XIX – early XX century, the development of the aesthetic and philosophical system of N. M. Gushchin and the development of actual artistic phenomena – primarily, the abstract trend in the art of the second half of the 20th century.
