Author's and tirage’s in creativity of stonecarver Vladimir Yakovlevich Bakulin
Abstract
The article provides the first overview of the creative activity of Vladimir Yakovlevich Bakulin, one of the leading artist-stonecarver of the Sverdlovsk Factory "Russkie Samotsvety" in the 1960s–1980s. The artist's creative path is examined in detail, including the period of study at the Nizhny Tagil School of Decorative Arts, which significantly influenced the artist's future fate, the main areas of his activity as a stonecutter are revealed, and information about a number of works is provided. Special attention is focused on the features of the artist's Autor works, in contrast to the models developed as part of the factory's product range expansion. As a result of studying more than one hundred pieces, a new view on the creative activity of the stonecutter is proposed, including both labor-intensive author's works from various types of colored stone and in complex techniques, and models for mass production that differ significantly in approach, distinguished by the laconicism of forms in line with the aesthetic program of the 1960s with a gradual increase in decorative elements throughout the 1970s–1980s. Based on the study of the archival data of the plant, statistical information is provided about Vladimir Bakulin as an active participant in the process of expanding and updating the plant's product range. In addition, information is provided about the master's experience in creating jewelry and their compliance with the main trends of the Ural jewelry school of the second half of the 20th century.
