Representation of Emmanuil Mysko's works on the pages of art magazines

Abstract

This paper analyzes art magazines and other periodicals in the context of the presentation of works by the famous sculptor Emmanuil Mysko, who holds a special place in the fine arts of Ukraine. The research material provides a brief overview of publications in art magazines and other periodicals that thoroughly acquaint the reader with the formation and evolution of Emmanuil Mysko's creative path. The focus is made on a holistic analysis of articles by art historians describing the artist's work, as well as publications containing only specific references to him. A number of well-known national art magazines, newspapers, newsletters, etc. covering the cultural and artistic events were selected for the study, namely, the magazine of the National Union of Artists of Ukraine "Fine Arts", "Art" magazine, "Free Ukraine" newspaper, Bulletin of the Lviv National Academy of Arts , "People's Notebooks", "Art Horizons" and others. The study outlines a number of trends regarding the presentation of material about Emmanuil Mysko, through which it can be argued that each of the authors tried to highlight as much as possible the key aspects of Emmanuil Mysko's activity in the field of monumental and decorative sculpture and to emphasize his contribution to the development of Ukrainian art. It is revealed that the talent, pedagogical and social activity, human qualities of Emmanuil Mysko and its impact on culture and art, have not been neglected by national scientists, art historians, researchers who in their works published on pages of art magazines and other periodicals describe various aspects of the life and work of a prominent Ukrainian sculptor, art critic, teacher, public figure Emmanuil Mysko. The need to create a structured bibliographic index has been identified, which will contain a complete list of articles on E. Mysko published since 1996, since the Bibliographic Index was published by that year. Also the main provisions and conclusions of the article can be used in the formation of the relevant sections of the new Bibliographic Index, which will become a basis for young researchers who will study the work of E. Mysko.
