СИМВОЛИЗМ И ЖИВОПИСЬ С. А. ЖУКА

Abstract

This article is devoted to the work of the artist S.A. Zhuk, which is considered from the point of view of his artistic stylistic features and his worldview dominants. For this purpose, an art-historical analysis and comparative analysis of some of his pictorial works are carried out, considered from the standpoint of the artistic "language" of forms, as well as from the side of the "canonical" philosophical meanings established in the art of symbolism. During the analysis and upon its completion, conclusions are formulated that the stylistics of the artist's painting, to a greater extent, tends to symbolism rather than realism, as the author himself believes. In general, the article positions the thesis that S.A. Zhuk has his own author's style, that the bright, original work of a mature master is an interesting phenomenon, the significance of which, in the context of the artistic life of the country and in the process of training young artists, is undeniable.
