No. 2 (37) (2025)

Issue No. 2 (37) of The Art of Eurasia journal is dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Great Patriotic War. The pages of this issue feature studies of fine arts from Russia, India, China, Moldova, and Mongolia. The authors delve into the depths of history and passionately discuss modern artists. Art has always addressed the most poignant and emotional topic of war. The philosophy of existentialism gave rise to the concept of an existential situation — an extreme one that pulls a person out of their daily routine and confronts them with the enormity and complexity of life, with all its profound meanings. Art allows us to touch this, to peer into the abyss and not only understand what happened, but also to reflect on ourselves today, to shed the burdens of everyday life, deceit, and vanity. Only fortitude and faith can guide a person through trials and anxieties. The victory in the Great Patriotic War, having transcended existential and historical time, has entered a new dimension, becoming a sacred symbol of strength, goodness, and wisdom. This is evident in modern works of fine art, which elicit a strong response from viewers and pique the interest of art historians.
