The Influence of Contemporary Art Trends on Visual Communication Design

Since modern times, the western contemporary art trend has undergone long-term evolution and development, and has formed various art and design factions. At the same time, it has also greatly promoted the development of related fields of visual communication design.

Soviet Pop Artists in Russian TV Series: Integration of Dramatic Models of Psycho- and Socio-Biography

This article deals with the dramaturgical and musical patterns of modern Russian television biopic series about Soviet pop artists. The concept of psycho- and sociobiography as developed by the Polish researcher Eva Mazerski is used as a means of analysis. The first section describes the regularities of particular dramatic models and traces their development in late Soviet cinema. The second section examines the convergence and integration of these dramatic models on the basis of extensive material drawn from Russian TV series dedicated to Soviet pop music stars. Special attention is paid to two series: Anna Herman. The Mystery of the White Angel (2012) and Born a Star (2015) with elements from the biography of Edita Piekha. In the final part of the article the soundtrack of these two series is analysed making use of the psycho- and sociobiographical model. On one hand, one can identify how the songs played in these series correlate with the dramatic collision of the episodes in which they appear. On the other hand, one can also identify the principles behind the selection of repertoire. These can be traced, in particular, to the ratio of songs related to civil and lyrical subject matter. The article concludes that, if in the late Soviet period the models of psycho- and sociobiography still exhibited some autonomy, an autonomy inversely proportional to the ideological consistency of the film, then the current stage is determined by the active convergence and integration of two models that no longer exist in their ‘pure’ forms. As for the musical dramaturgy and selection of repertoire in the soundtrack, Soviet pop star series continue to develop an active lyricisation of the Soviet scene, replacing civil and patriotic themes with foreign hits. Nevertheless, playing Soviet pop songs serves to reconfigure the cultural and historical context of the past.

Culture of the Chinese revolution: symbolic and semiotic differences from the world culture of revolution

AbstractThis article examines images of revolution in Chinese artworks within a global context. It argues that the theme of revolution in Chinese art can be divided into three movements: (1) Art of Scars, (2) New Wave ’85, from which political pop art and cynical realism took their roots, and (3) the modern twenty-first century trend of Mao and the Cultural Revolution. An analysis of political pop art identified a synthesis of academic and iconographic features and Western philosophical concepts, which can be found in the semiotic elements of the painting Maozedong: AO. Its cynical realism is similar to the satire of the American painter in his Daughters of Revolution. Both artworks depict images of the "citizen" in an era of historical change. This analysis of the painting in the style of Mao and the Cultural Revolution offers a rethinking of traditional Chinese canons as a response to the Western religious traditions influenced by a multicultural environment. The data can be used as an additional source to examine symbolism and semiotics in the artistic language of Chinese artists representing the culture of revolution.

쿠오바디스, 차용미술의 미래는 어떻게 될 것인가?

The Supreme Court’s ruling on “Andy Warhol v. Goldsmith” (hereinafter referred to as the “Andy Warhol case”) was made on May 18, 2023. The Supreme Court agreed with the ruling of the Second Circuit Court of Appeals and ruled that Andy Warhol’s “Orange Prince” and “Prince Series” were copyright infringement, not fair use, because they could not be regarded as transformative use.
 This case will be the most important case in the art world as a ruling on fair use in the past 20 years or so. And the outcome of this ruling could have a tremendous impact on the future of appropriation art, so-called pop art.
 In the Andy Warhol case, the rulings of the first trial and the appeal trial were sharply divided. The first trial judged that Andy Warhol’s use could not be regarded as fair use for each factor of judgment, but as a result, it was fair use. However, the appeals court ruled in favor of Goldsmith, judging that the first trial court made a mistake in reviewing the fair use factors and that it was not fair use in all of the fair use judgment factors.
 Therefore, this paper analyzed the rulings in each court. In addition, the concept of appropriation art in Korea and copyright infringement cases related to the current parody were reviewed, and what judgments would be made if the Andy Warhol ruling was applied to Korea in the future.
 Finally, in Korea, it was concluded that it is desirable to actively interpret fair use doctrine as much as possible so that freedom of creation can be guaranteed if fair use is a problem in copyright infringement cases.

We often identify fashion with clothes or clothes, when in fact what is said fashion is everything that is trending in society. Consumers can be regarded as the main driving force of the fashion industry. Because apart from being a buyer, they are also the ones who determine and choose the style to become a fashion trend.

Singing Wives and Oligarch Patrons

Based on extensive ethnographic fieldwork on Swedo-Russian musical collaborations, this article explores the link between popular music and the conspicuous consumption of Russia’s wealthy elite. Presenting two specific cases, one following a Russian millionaire’s wife’s efforts to become a pop star and the other exploring a wealthy Russian’s pursuit of patronage for emerging pop artists, the article describes how popular music became a means for Russia’s rich elite not only to show off their wealth and luxurious lifestyles but also to exchange monetary means for other forms of (cultural) capital, such as fame, coolness, and associations with a Western lifestyle. Furthermore, the article situates this elite dynamic in relation to specific Russian historical trajectories, and the ways in which the influence of the economic elite within the Russian music industry creates an unlevelled playing field for professionals trying to make a living from making popular music.

American Consumer Culture as Reflected in Andy Warhol's Marilyn Monroe and Green Coca-Cola Bottle

Andy Warhol was in an extremely prosperous post-World War II United States when Pop Art was flourishing in America, when art was becoming civilianized and began to focus on the daily lives of the public. Andy Warhol was keenly aware of the effects that consumer society brought to the mass culture and he brought the commodities and elements used by the masses into Pop Art, such asGreen Coca-Cola BottleandMarilyn Monroewhich concentrated and distinctly embodied the cultural characteristics of the consumerist. This paper applied The Consumer Society written by Jean Baudrillard to argue the consumer culture reflected in two of Andy Warhol's classic paintings, namely Green Coca-Cola Bottle and Marilyn Monroe. The former reflected the state of consumption-controlled production in America, while the latter reflected the emergence of the consumer protagonist as the new concern of popular culture, the rise of mass media and the frenzied pursuit of consumer symbols. Lastly the inspiration he brought to us that is to provide an in-depth and well-reasoned understanding for the consumer culture reflected in Warhol's paintings and the implications for modern consumer society and contemporary art.

Разрушение ауры искусства в творчестве Энди Уорхола

Since the 20th century, along with the introduction of innovations, society has seen the processes of ignoring/destroying/transforming the values of previous historical stages of development. The changes that have been taking place are controversial, which makes us investigate them in order to preserve/restore the best of the past. The sphere of art and the phenomenon of the aura of a work of art were chosen as the object of this research. The paper applies the phenomenological, analytical and biographical methods. They help to describe the phenomenon of the aura of a work of art, identify some of the reasons for its origination, reveal the causes of its disappearance/transformation in modern times and consider the situation on the basis of the philosophical and aesthetic position and works of the representative of pop art Andy Warhol. It should be noted that the aura is something difficult to comprehend. Originating in the process of creating a work of art, it (immaterially) manifests itself when the work is being perceived. The origins of the aura are traced to the author: due to his/her individual characteristics and creative resources, the work of art acquires its uniqueness and philosophical poetry. In modern conditions, the artist’s use of devices (audio/video and document-reproduction/digital) and technologies, as well as constant replication of art lead to the transformation or disappearance of the aura. The latter fact was pointed out as early as in 1936 by W. Benjamin. To illustrate this phenomenon, the paper studies the works of Andy Warhol, who actively used technology and various devices to create them. As a result, his pieces of art are devoid of the aura, their perception by the audience is alienated. Moreover, Warhol himself, having deliberately turned into a man-machine, felt no joy from the process. A similar analysis can be used to study other forms of art and creators. The results of the analysis will help in constructing the concept of the aura of art and describing this phenomenon, in understanding the transformation of the aura in contemporary works, as well as in finding ways to bring the aura to life in the creative process.

Of Echoes and Utterances: A Brief Sketch of Arabic Hauntings in Hindi Cinema and Song

On a Saturday afternoon in January 2017, Shah Rukh Khan—Hindi cinema's reigning star of the last thirty years—arrived at Bollywood Parks Dubai to promote his latest film release, Raees (2017). To the crowd of adoring Arab and South Asian fans and journalists who had flocked to the theme park to catch a glimpse of the “Badshah of Bollywood” and brand ambassador of Dubai, SRK unveiled the much-anticipated Arabic version of “Zaalima” (Cruel One), the film's breakout hit song. Rendered in Darija by Moroccan pop artists Abdelfettah Grini and Jamila El Badaoui, this version of “Zaalima” proved an awkward copy of the original, its unwieldy Arabic lyrics molded to fit as tightly within the blueprint melody as possible. “ Dīrī fiya al-thiqa, al-gharām hā howa ” (Put your confidence in me, for love is here) did not have quite the same ring or seamlessness as the Hindi-Urdu “ Main sau martaba dīwāna hua ” (I fell in love a hundred times over), with the Arabic line painstakingly crafted to echo the “ hua ” ending of the Hindi-Urdu.

Research on Artificial Intelligence in New Year Prints: The Application of the Generated Pop Art Style Images on Cultural and Creative Products

Chinese New Year prints constitute a significant component of the country’s cultural heritage and folk art. Yangliuqing New Year prints are the most important and widely circulated of all the different kinds of New Year prints. Due to a variety of factors including societal change, industrial structure change, and economic development, New Year prints, which were deeply rooted in agricultural society, have been adversely impacted, and have even reached the brink of disappearance. With the protection and effort from the government and researchers, New Year prints can finally be preserved. However, the underlying problems remain, such as receiving little attention, a singular product form, and being unable to keep up with the times, especially among the younger generation. In this paper, the researchers first processed Yangliuqing New Year prints through the GANs model. Then, the image is segmented by binarization and color extraction of images from the Pop art dataset by the K-Means algorithm, followed by colorizing the binarized and segmented image. Finally, usable high-quality Pop art style Yangliuqing New Year prints are generated. The generated images are used in the development of cultural and creative products. Questionnaires were then distributed based on the empirical research scale. The results of this study are as follows: 1. The method proposed in this study can generate high-quality Pop art style New Year prints. 2 Using Pop art style New Year print images in the design of cultural and creative products is popular among the younger generation, and they possess a great propensity to purchase. This study solves the problems encountered by the current cultural heritage of New Year prints, and broadens the artistic expression forms and product categories, and provides research ideas for the cultural heritage of the same type that is facing similar problems. In the future, researchers will continue to explore the incorporation of AI technology in New Year prints to stimulate the vitality of traditional cultural heritage.

От «тупого быдла» в интернете до нового героя протестов: дисфемизм школота и репрезентации подросткового участия в публичной сфере

In the late 2010s, one can observe intensification of debates about adolescents as political subjects among the various Russian media platforms. Adolescents became an object of close attention of political actors and institutions, journalists, pop artists and ordinary internet users. This process is very noticeable in the shifts of semantics of the dysphemism shkolota (originally a disparaging definition of elementary and middle school students). The article aims to give an overview of the change in the meaning of shkolota as the “commonplace” of imagination and representation of teenagers. To find out what shkolota means, I conducted an analysis of publications and comments on LiveJournal, a social media platform and the birthplace of shkolota. A symbolic path was traced from the “Lemmings in the Internet” to “New Valiant Protesters” within twelve years. In considering the semantic boundaries and the context of shkolota in publications and comments on the LiveJournal platform and correlating them with the socio-political context of Russia, I describe the process of transformation of the dysphemism as a simultaneous expansion of adolescent participation visibility in the public sphere and the deconstruction of the image of the passive, defenseless (primarily against adult manipulation) and dangerous adolescent in public rhetoric. Analysis of how shkolota was reshaped turns out to be a method that allows us to consider from a new perspective the public rhetoric about children in contemporary Russia.
