Abstract

The article is devoted to the origin, development and current state of the art school of the Lugansk region in the context of the art of the Soviet period. The author examines the origins and historical and cultural conditions that influenced the features of the art of this industrial centre. He traces the movement of artistic processes from socialist realism, through the avant-garde in its various manifestations in ideas, themes and pictorial and expressive means to a new understanding of realistic traditions and the depiction of people imbued with the spirit of creation and love for their native land, ready for a feat in labour and war. The important role of the Lugansk State Academy of Culture and Arts named after M. Matusovsky and its college of culture and arts in the preservation of the realistic school is substantiated and illustrated. This study introduces into scientific circulation and accompanies a number of works of art created by Luhansk artists in 2014–2021 with an art history commentary
