Image and Style in a Modern Landscape Painting

Abstract

The subject of research in this article is a description of a number of creative formalist approaches to modern landscape painting, which are born under the influence of rethinking the leading stylistic trends of the 20th century by artists. Approaches in the landscape genre are analyzed, which are based on the study of world experience and the artistic heritage of different countries, as well as the principles of academicism. Particular attention is paid to analyzing specific examples of modern landscape practice. Also, it is extremely important to characterize the plots and images of paintings, variations of the artistic language that are used in visualization. The main conclusions of the study of the topic is a detailed disclosure of the concept of "image" of landscape painting. There is also a distinction between the concept of style in art into a stylistic direction, considered in a narrow sense, and a historical style, considered more broadly. The author's special contribution to the study of the topic is that in modern landscape painting the formalistic approach can become one of the structural components of a new style in art, if this is accompanied by appropriate factors. The form in this perspective is precisely the link that the creator lacks to create a full-fledged creative image that has developed in his imagination.
