The composition of the study is based on the counterpoint of two questions – how Surikov perceived “modernism” and how “modernism” perceived Surikov. The concept of “modernism” in this case is interpreted in the extended sense of the creative search to the early 20th century for unconventional art of magical and plastic means of expression that went beyond the limits of the Itinerant (Рeredvizhniki) Movement’s realism. The collision of relationships is viewed through the prism of the stable plastic and emotional features of the artistic poetics of Surikov himself. That is why the author touches the issues of the artists’s personal understanding of the nature of art and the problems of innovation, which worried him until the end of his life and found expression in the decorative, lyrical and expressive features of the late creative period.","PeriodicalId":37537,"journal":{"name":"Academia (Greece)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70465561","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the works of monumental art of the city-states of pre-Islamic ancient Syria and Mesopotamia, traits are found that allow us to see in the heritage of the different art cultures of the ancient and early medieval Mediterranean and the non-Mediterranean Hellenized East not only a cradle, but also schools of Greco-Roman and Early Byzantine miniatures that complement and decorate texts of the ancient manuscripts. With the absorption of these regions by the Caliphate and the development of the medieval Islamic civilization, these schools, next to the vivid and developing art of Byzantium, became sources of knowledge and skill for the designers of Arabic manuscripts. The design of Greek, Latin and Syrian codes, along with the illustrations in the text, inspired the inclusion in the Arabic manuscripts of the frontispiece with the \"portrait\" of the author (or authors) of the book, and 'the dedication picture' – that were the separate miniatures glorifying the patron or the crowned addressee of the book in allegorical form. Over time, the style of Arabic manuscripts had lost the visible connection with both Greco-Roman and Byzantine prototypes. However, the acquisition of their own stylistic devices, methods and norms did not mean either a final deviation or a complete denial of lessons of the classical book painting. In one form or another, their contribution in Medieval Near Eastern arts was also manifested in the later illustrated Arabic manuscripts, although now at most they were oriented toward the models and ideals of Iran and Eastern Asia.","PeriodicalId":37537,"journal":{"name":"Academia (Greece)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70464343","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
