The study examines Chinese oil painting from the early stages of formation to the 
end of the XX — the beginning of the XXI century. Despite the constant interest of art historians and scientists in the question of oil painting of China, it remains insufficiently stu died. The  need  for  a  generalization  study  on  this  topic  is  urgent  in  Eastern  European 
countries, which in the process of internal transformation in the political, social and cultural spheres make the most of their efforts to study their own arts history, while the world 
experience, in particular Chinese one, is very important for the formation of the national 
art science science.
To  clarify  the  essence  of  the  influence  of  the  European  realistic  art  traditions  on 
Chinese painting, in order to reveal the rules of the transformation of Chinese art in the 
XXth -  the beginning of the XXIst century the dissertation research includes  the following 
parts:
analysis of the published sources on the chosen subject, which resulted in compr ehensive description of the cultural and historical background of the emergence of oil painting in China; revealing of the role of European influences on  the transformation of concepts  and  the  search  for  artistic  forms  in  Chinese  painting  from  the  early  stages  of  its 
emergence to the establishing of artistic higher education institutions; the discovery of key 
features of the transformations in Chinese oil p ainting after 1949 by the most illustrative 
examples, the disclosure of significance of these features for the further development of 
Chinese art; the analysis of peculiarities of artistic processes in the late XXth  —  the beginning XXIst century in Chinese oil painting, demonstration of the similarities and diffe rences of the transformations that took place during the periods of the Cultural Revolution 
and  the  beginning  of  the  reform  and  openness  period;  substantiation  of  the  main  trends 
found in the emergence and development of the stylistic peculiarities inherent in contemporary Chinese painting; research and systematization of the genre variety of the work of 
Chinese artists of the XXth  -  the early XXIst century; identification of techniques, tec hnologies, materials used in Chinese painting of the studied period, tracing of the relatio nship between the introduction of new tools into the artist’s practice and the external infl uences on Chinese art.
The dissertation is a comprehensive detailed study of the  influence of European art 
traditions on the Chinese ones, given that new persons, facts, documentary materials were 
introduced  into  scientific  discourse,  and  their  influence  on  the  painting  of  China  of  the 
studied period was evidences. The work of the artists who went to study abroad at the beginning of the twentieth century to develop and raise the cultural level of their homeland is 
explored in this thesis Finding the new artistic styles, examples of western painting, ado ption of advanced Western technologies and ideas became for old China the necessary steps 
in its struggle to keep pace with the progress in the global artistic culture. The important 
role of the emergence of artistic educational institutions for establishment of modern Ch inese art is described in the thesis.
Both negative and positive factors of the influence of Soviet art on Chinese art have 
been analyzed by the examples of creativity of artists and educational activities of professors, those from China and invitees from the USSR. The advantages of the Soviet model of academic artistic education for the formation of Chinese oil painting school have also 
been  revealed.  The  influence  of  the  above  model  on  the  development  of  Chinese  art  in 
general  has  been  analyzed.  The  peculiarities  of  the  Chinese  variant  of  socialist  realism 
have been studied and reviewed in the thesis.
The changes in techniques and stylistics of oil painting during the period of the Cu ltural Revolution are revealed. A striking feature of that period was the new artistic i deal, 
the romanticism and heroization of both the communist elite and ordinary people in the 
plot of the class struggle, the construction of a new communist society, etc. First of all, it 
was the result of political pressure, which led to the disfigured beauty and nobility in the 
pictures, and rather monotonous scenes and techniques.
The  main  phenomena  of  the  beginning  of  the  reform  and  openness  period    have 
been researched in accordance with the proposed typology: the period of "Scar art" and the 
emergence of local art succeeded by the emergence of neoclassicism. It is noted that the 
main motive of "Scar Art" was a drama of reviewing and changing values, and the resulting condemnation. The "Scar Art" and "local art" period had been followed by the eme rgence of neoclassicism. The so-called "conceptual art" had emerged and quickly became 
the mainstream. The works of Chinese neoclassical painting, as well as many styles prior 
to it, are also full of Chinese cultural features, or are created regarding them. It  has been 
found  that  thanks  to  that  the  realistic  painting  had  gained  a  general  public  recognition 
again.
