This issue № 1 (12) 2019 of “The Art of Eurasia” Journal is about graphics. Our authors vividly and enthusiastically talk about various graphic techniques, the purpose of illustration, and the history of the development of this art form in our country.
Graphics is the oldest and most outspoken art form. If in other types of art the initial stages of work then "drown" in the finished work, then in the graphics the nature of the stroke, the shape of the color spot, sometimes the seeming chaos of lines keep the first excitement, the first emotional response of the artist to the thought that captured him and the image that he seeks to embody in work. Petr Dick, Sergei Eisenstein, Andrey Mashanov, Victor Penzin, Vitaly Kulikov, Petr Sokolov, Natalya Bakanova-Weibert, Ivan Bykov, Arkady Kazantsev, Eleonora Zharenova, Larisa Pastushkova — their work became the subject of research in the “Forum” section.
