Pastel technique as a means of creating the image of St. Petersburg in the drawings of modern russian artists
Abstract
This article is devoted to topical issues of artistic display of the unique architecture of Northern Palmyra on the canvases of Russian painters who created a many-faced pictorial “Petersburg”. The purpose of the work is to present a general description of the work of modern landscape artists, fruitfully working in the dry pastel technique, who turned to the city as a “plot.” The chosen angle of the study is little represented in the scientific literature, which informs the work of relevance and novelty. The authors carried out a brief art history analysis of a number of paintings by famous masters of painting of a new generation - A. Volkov, S. Usik, A. Zuev, E. Mill, N. Anfalova, from the standpoint of plots, images, stylistics, features of the application of pastel in the creation of composition and the arrangement of emotional and semantic accents. On the example of the works of painters, modern trends in the use of pastel painting techniques in an architectural landscape are indicated.
