Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of Chinese landscapes painting by Chinese and Russian artists. Comparative analysis of landscape painting by Chinese and Russian artists dedicated to China allows to identify the most important trends and patterns in the methods of landscapes painting in Russia and China of the late XX в - early XXI century. The purpose of this study is to determine the main intersections in the approaches of artists of the two countries. The specificity of the artistic and expressive language of Chinese and Russian landscape artists in the embodiment of landscapes of China is determined primarily by the influence of the modern national school of painting, as well as the desire to develop and update existing traditions, finding inspiration in foreign experience, coming into contact with foreign culture and artistic tradition. The main conclusions of the study are that landscape painting by artists of Russia and China reveals similarities in formal terms: artists of both countries use techniques of both, realistic school and impressionism. Scientific novelty is determined by the fact that the mechanism of integration of the principles of realism and Western impressionism by Chinese painters is revealed. The author introduces an extensive body of artistic materials of Russian and Chinese painters into Russian science, notes that there are significant differences between the artists of the two countries.
