Аннотации:
Стаття присвячена літографіям київських художників-графіків 1980-х років. Розглянуто тематику їхніх естампів та подано характеристику образно-стилістичних і технологічних особливостей графічних творів.
In the final stage of the Soviet-era stagnation phase the graphic
art of the 80s had still been affected by the political, social and ideological
pressure but gradually it started expressing itself freer both in form and content.
Some students of Kyiv State Art Institute chose lithography as their final
year project. In the book design workshop led by Professor V. Chebanik and
acting Associate Professor G. Halynskaya, there designed Ukrainian and
Russian literary works such students as Vladimir Ivanov-Akhmetov, Volodymyr
Radko, Larissa Pukhanova, Katerina Kudelina (Korniychuk), Anatoliy Marchuk,
Oleksandr Shytui, who came across original composition solutions in the subject
interpretation. In the easel graphics workshop, headed by Professor I. Selivanov,
and since 1985 by Professor A. Chebykin students Yuri Pilipenko, Vasyl Shpak,
Edward Mezhul, Valerii Franchuk, Timur Masautov, Olena Sapozhkova, Igor
Shelest, Olena Plesovska and others kept on working on politically motivated
Leninist, revolutionary and patriotic themes, glorified a working person within the
method of «socialist realism».
The theme-based Republican art exhibitions presented lithographies by Yurii
Rubashov, Georgii Varkach, Vitalii Movchan, Gennadii Poljovui, Mikola Popov,
Olexander Mykora, Olena Ovchinnikova, Andrii Chebykin and others, performed in
a variety of genres, including portraits of prominent figures of science and culture,
different landscapes, works on military topics and everyday scenes. In the graphic
works of the artists an original way of solving creative problems was traced.
Kyiv artists Adam Krvavych, Julii Sheinis, Oleksii Mezentsev, Anatolii
Vasilenko, Olga and Sergii Yakutovych and others participated in the III, IV,
V Republican exhibitions «Artist and Book». We can observe a plurality of
individual approaches and solutions in the book design, a large register of
means of expression in the image interpretation.
The graphic arts reflected the person`s worldview of the definite time and
transfused the spiritual atmosphere of the society at large, caused by the general
processes of the development of fine art and culture in the country. Despite the
ideological conditions and political situation in the 1980s, the artist became more
relaxed and strived for self-realization.
