Abstract
The article examines the features of artistic perception and representation of the geographical and cultural space of Stalingrad-Volgograd in evolutionary development in 1940–2020; interaction between architectural and artistic texts of the city, the specifics of the Volgograd Union of Artists; the issues of changes in the artistic life of the city that took place in the post-Soviet period. The architecture, history and daily life of post-war Stalingrad are now of great scientific interest. In this article, for the first time, the artistic reflection of the life of the city of this and subsequent periods becomes the subject of independent research. The active work of Stalingrad and Volgograd artists was reflected in numerous publications: newspaper and magazine articles, exhibition catalogues, and monographic publications. A number of publications are devoted to the history of the Volgograd Union of artists. At the same time, relations between artistic creativity and location were not specifically considered. Until now, the issues of transformations of artistic life and art in Volgograd have also remained without proper attention. The work has been done mainly on the basis of the collection of the Volgograd Museum of Fine Arts named after I.I. Mashkov with a review of works from artist's studios. This group of works attracts interest not only from an art criticism point of view, but also from a cultural, sociological, and historical point of view. City views in painting and graphics are considered in chronological order and in accordance with the thematic principle. The methods of comparative analysis have been applied when comparing works of the Soviet period with modern ones. Materials of the imaginative and stylistic of paintings and graphics are compared with the memories of old residents of the city and interviews with contemporary artists. Works of painting and graphics by Stalingrad and Volgograd artists of the second half of the XX – early XXI centuries are introduced into the scientific circulation. The author focuses on native Stalingrad painters and graphic artists who took an active part in the formation of the local branch of the Union of Artists: N. Chernikov, A. Chervonenko, F. Sukhanov, A. Legenchenko, G. Pechennikov and A. Pechennikov, N. Pirogov, B. Osikov, P. Grechkin, V. Strigin, etc. Their works are compared with the works of contemporary artists: N. Zotov, Yu. Sorokin, etc.
