The article considers the cultural memory using the example of the development of the motif of Russian medieval architecture in the series “Pereslavl‑Zalessky” of the Novosibirsk artist N.D. Gritsiuk (1922–1976). The research applies the principles of stylistic analysis, taking into account the provisions of the theory of cultural memory. This approach contributed to the identification of patterns of stylistic transformation of the temple motif in the series “Pereslavl-Zalessky” and the definition of recollection as a methodological principle of the artist. In the lyrical landscapes of Pereslavl from 1967, and then in folk tale compositions and cubist-futurist depictions of temples from 1969, N.D. Gritsiuk actualizes cultural memory by repeating the pictorial experience of the past. In the early 1970s, he overcomes the stylistic influence of tradition and creates surreally distorted psychological depictions of temples as images of memory. As a result, the phenomenon of memory is realized in the works of N.D. Gritsiuk in the following aspects: memory as a manifestation of supra-individual and personal mechanisms of connection with artistic tradition; memory as a philosophical problem; memory as a lived experience that forms a serially developed artistic image. |
