This issue No. 4 (23) of “The Art of Eurasia” Journal is dedicated to the artistic life of the Russian Far East and the countries of the Asia-Pacific region. It presents the results of a major scientific forum that took place on the basis of the Primorye State Art Gallery with the participation of a forum of art critics from many regions of Russia, as well as Mongolia, Korea, China and other countries.
Within the framework of the forum, the "Days of the Hermitage in Vladivostok", which have already become traditional, took place in Vladivostok. In our journal, this was reflected in a series of articles under the heading "On the Storerooms and Expositions of Museums and Art Galleries". It shows the results of the most complex restoration work carried out by specialists of the Hermitage, when unique works were literally revived from oblivion.
The art of the 20th – 21st centuries, although close to us in time, but there are already many pages that have not yet been described and little studied. In the section of the same name, a study of the works of the outstanding artist, traveler and fighter for the preservation of culture Nicolas Roerich is published in one of the richest collections in the eastern regions of Russia — the Primorye State Art Gallery. You can get acquainted with the artist and author of the original philosophy of art Alexander Rychkov-Galaktionov in an essay that presents his views and creativity in detail. Buryatia, according to many art critics, now rightfully occupies one of the leading places in contemporary art. The third article of this section describes the masters of all kinds of arts and the acquisition of a unique collection.
Traditionally, in the issue you will find publications of the "Dictionary of Buddhist Iconography by Lokesh Chandra", information about new albums and scientific publications about fine art, as well as exhibitions at the Russian Academy of Arts.
