Abstract
The author briefly describes genesis and meaning of imaginative systems of traditional painting of Russian and Altaians (in particular, Mezen, group of Severodvinsk, and Uymon paintings) backed by results of studies got by fine art experts and art historians. The paper shows a relation between age of various types of decorative paintings and a level of their complexity and semantic richness. Theoretic approaches to understanding of cultural senses of typical animalistic images, that produce freestanding semiotic composition are arranged. Also, the author analyzes zoomorphic motifs in ornamental systems as well; it stressed out that such systems pass sign information in a language of people's painting besides an aesthetic message.
