Abstract
Mstislav Valerianovich Dobuzhinsky (1875 – 1957) refers to the artists whose work belongs to both the Russian and world culture. He was born and lived in Russia, then in Lithuania, America, spent many years in European countries – England, France, Italy. Having experienced the influence of various art schools and trends, the work of M. V. Dobuzhinsky nevertheless retains integrity, which is based on loyalty to Russian culture – its themes and artistic principles established in the early XX century in the «World of art». A kind of creative method of M. V. Dobuzhinsky is in the genre of the urban landscape. As in the retrospective paintings of the members of the main lyrical hero is the landscape, often architectural in character, it seems to have affected the appearance in the works of M. V. Dobuzhinsky themes of the city – cultural monument. Unlike his friends, the artist remains indifferent to the image of architecture in retrospect paintings, preferring to show the life of the past in modern times.
