No. 1 (24) (2022)

This issue No. 1 (24) of “The Art of Eurasia” Journal is dedicated to the art of the Urals in the Soviet period. It presents the materials of a major scientific conference, that  took place on the basis of the Yekaterinburg Museum of Fine Arts with the participation of art historians from many cities of Russia. A number of articles have been published here that reveal the ideological and artistic-plastic aspects of the style of socialist realism from different angles. It, given its wide distribution, can be considered one of the last major artistic styles. It covered both the former Soviet republics and other countries closely connected both politically and socio-culturally with the Soviet Union — from Europe to the countries of the Far East. 

The section “Eurasian Heritage” presents a study of folk craft for the manufacture of chests, which arose in the Urals in the 18th century. An article about the impressionist artist Andrey Arestov was published in the section “Art of the 20th – 21st centuries”.

In section “In Storerooms and Expositions of Museums and Art Galleries”, readers can learn about the works of Dutch masters dedicated to the city of Leiden from the museum with the richest history and the richest collection — the Radishchev State Art Museum in Saratov. The article in “Dictionary of Buddhist Iconography by Lokesh Chandra” section hopefully will help experts in the field of Buddhist art to identify the most complex image associated with the parables of the earthly incarnation of the Buddha. The “Academy News” section presents an overview of the most representative exhibitions of members of the Russian Academy of Arts, which opened both in the halls of the Academy and at other venues.
