No. 1 (28) (2023): To the 175th anniversary of the birth of the artist Vasily Surikov
This issue No. 1 (28) of “The Art of Eurasia” Journal is dedicated to the outstanding artist of Russia Vasily Ivanovich Surikov, whose 175th anniversary is widely celebrated in our country. The desire for a perfect artistic form and philosophy distinguish the work of V.I. Surikov. It was well studied during his lifetime, but, as often happens, some of its most important stages are only now receiving decent coverage — for example, the Italian period in the life of the artist, which, in turn, prepared a powerful take-off of his painting in “Boyarynya Morozova”. New publications about the artist, on the one hand, close the existing gaps and help to better understand his heritage, and, on the other hand, the scale of his personality becomes more and more obvious. He appears as a major thinker and even a prophet, a person who not only understands history in facts and events, but captures its deep spiritual foundations. The painter brings this awareness to his works, which become “pivotal” for the entire Russian culture.
