Theme of the Issue:
This last issue of the year, as the previous one, is devoted to a dialogue of cultures in visual art and literature (section “Epoch. Artist. Image”). Such a methodological approach to the study of art evolution based on the intention to assert the contextuality of the world artistic process, carries on the best traditions of the Art Studies Magazine, the successor of the almanac Soviet Art Studies first published in 1974 by Soviet Artists Publishers (in 1991 it was renamed Art Studies). From the very start, this publication became the most representational discussion platform on which the country’s leading scholars were able to raise and address the most important topics of the theory and history of art. Published by the State Institute for Art Studies since 1993, the magazine has preserved its high-level scientific content. That is why we are striving to remember those who once determined the level of Russia’s science of art studies. This issue carries the final part of the recollections of E.I.Rotenberg, a classic of Russia’s art studies (section “Memoirs”). Another luminary of Russia’s art studies school, D.V.Sarabyanov, was spoken about at a special event in Tretyakov Gallery and at a roundtable in SIAS (“Miscellaneous” section).
