Джаз в пространстве изобразительной культуры: вариации интермедиальных проекций

Abstract

The relevance of the topic is determined by the intensive development of intermedial interactions, including those in the field of artistic culture. An analysis of these processes makes it possible to more fully characterize the content of not only artistic and aesthetic states but also broader sociocultural contexts. On these grounds, the article for the first time analyzes the spectrum of features of the stylistic and thematic influence of jazz on the creation of works in the space of visual culture, mainly in the visual arts. The variety of projections of the jazz theme in the visual and artistic spheres is largely due to the essential properties of jazz music: the improvisational nature of its creation, the spectacularism of musical images and the process of music reproduction itself, expressive rhythms and musical colors, strong emotionality, stylistic diversity and variability. The possibility of free self-expression in the process of creative improvisation has attracted artists of various trends and styles to jazz as a cultural theme. Understanding jazz as a kind of algorithm for creative activity has made it possible to visualize the content of many non-artistic sociocultural contexts that are relevant both for jazz musicians and for the creators of visual artifacts. Of particular importance is the ability of jazz to vividly convey the mood of real cultural and historical time, its atmosphere and collisions. These images are projected into the visual and pictorial environment perceived by artists and find various embodiments in subjective visual equivalents. Going beyond the self-sufficiency of musical and visual works, such projections expand the field of cultural designations and meanings that arise in the course of the intermedial interaction.
