ФОРМИРОВАНИЕ СОБСТВЕННОГО СТИЛЯ В ТВОРЧЕСТВЕ ХУДОЖНИКОВ ГОРОДА ЧУГУЕВА

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the life and work of representatives of the art school of painting in Chuguev. Due to the huge losses of their heritage, it still remains a blank spot in the history of national culture. The uniqueness of the masters of the brush of a small military settlement, which was Chuguev in the 19th century, consists in the fact that they came from a soldier and peasant environment. Mastering various technical techniques of painting, they worked in different genres. This allowed the Chuguev artists to create works of a secular and spiritual nature, including icons and frescoes. New names of Chuguev painters are introduced into scientific circulation, the characteristic of the works of Chuguev masters that have reached our time is given, and the peculiarities of their creativity are highlighted. The myth of the influence of Western European art on the work of the Chuguev masters is debunked. The Chuguev Art School is part of the Russian art school. Its significance lies in the fact that in the conditions of military settlements, examples of high art were created, understandable and close to every resident. The works created by local artists contributed to the creation of a special spiritual atmosphere in the Chuguev military district, the development of a common mentality and spiritual unification of the swedens – people of different nationalities and faiths.
