Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the work of Oleg Nikolaevich Loshakov, the Academician of the Russian Academy of Arts, Honored Artist of the Russian Federation, Professor. He organized a group of young artists, consisting of his first graduates of the Vladivostok Art School, and together with them painted landscapes on Shikotan Island for several decades. The analysis of the paintings of the Shikotan group representatives made it possible to identify their characteristic stylistic, compositional and coloristic features. The research materials expand the range of ideas about the years of Loshakov's work in the Far East, reveal new aspects of his landscape painting of the 1960s, as well as the works of the mature and late periods in the context of the development of Russian art in the second half of the 20th – early 21st centuries. The relevance of the article is determined by the lack of an extensive study of the works of art by O.N. Loshakov and other artists of the Shikoltan group, whose artwork is a bright page in the history of Primorye fine art.
