Abstract: Ship models are the part of a significant number of collections of domestic and foreign museums. Such objects are the primary sources of knowledge and emotions, true monuments of history and culture, but often belong to the group of reproductions of museum objects, that is, reduced copies of original objects. The article analyzes the questions of the definition of ship models, correlates the definitions of these items in different sources. The author considers the model of the ship from the point of view of the functions and properties of a museum object, asserts their value as originals of significant historical and cultural significance, monuments of science and technology, objects of arts and crafts, ethnographic sources. The novelty of the research lies in the study by the author of the ship model from the point of view of the theory of the museum object. This allows us to consider ship models from other, not generally accepted positions, and consider them full-fledged museum objects, which, along with originals, have the same set of properties, qualities and features. The main conclusions of the study are, firstly, that the models of ships and vessels in the collections of museums are not secondary in relation to other material sources, and secondly, that such objects fully correspond to the concept of "cultural values", are source of knowledge and emotion.

Abstract: The article contains materials about the work of St. Petersburg artist Yulia Vasilievna Gusarova, a master who creates works in different materials and techniques and has her own theme, manner and style. The purpose of the article is to determine the foundations and nature of creativity, to track the dynamics of the personal development of a hereditary artist. She is multi-faceted and is successfully realized in the art of painting, in mosaics, in ceramics, in textiles, in scientific and pedagogical activities. The main themes of her work: stories from the history of culture and art, travel impressions, the world of the sea and marine life, the fantastic world of the medieval "bestiary" and modern technology. The article presents examples of her works, describes their semantic content and artistic merits, notes theoretical and methodological-pedagogical aspects of the problems of art and art education. The materials of the article have novelty, because they are offered for publication for the first time. There was no scientific study of Y. Gusarova's creativity in domestic and foreign art criticism. The results and research methods in this article can be useful in art criticism for use in writing monographic works about the work of other artists, as well as for creating a complete picture of the features of the work of domestic ceramic artists of the XX - XXI centuries.

Abstract: The author examines the art history problem of the influence of philosophical trends on the art that is relevant to them on the example of the work of the St. Petersburg ceramic artist Mikhail Yuryevich Kapustin and his philosophical reflections revealed in the plastic search for impressive images. His worldview was formed in a whirlwind of contemporary philosophical trends, scientific and technological discoveries, new trends in culture and contemporary art. The article reveals the regular change of one philosophical direction to the next, often alternative, and how artists reacted to this in their work, finding new ideals and expanding expressive possibilities in the visual arts. The purpose of the article is an attempt to decipher the in-depth meanings of the artist's works. The subject of research is philosophical reminiscences in the author's sculptural and graphic works of the ceramic artist. The main themes of his artwork are Man, Earth, and Time.
The study has a novelty, because its materials are original and are offered for publication for the first time. In domestic and foreign art criticism there was no scientific study of the work of M. Kapustin. The works of M. Kapustin are large-scale, peculiar ceramic (sculptural and graphic) compositions of epic imagery, represent a compressed formula of an idea in a tense volume of form. The logical chain of his creative process as a ceramic artist goes as follows: from the idea towards the artistic image, material, technology, and finally work. The results and research methods in this article can be used in art criticism for contribution in writing monographic works about the work of other artists.

Abstract: The object of this research is contemporary Chinese art in the context of the latest trends in the development of the global and national art market. The subject of the study is the problem of underestimation of modern ceramic art in China and its potential from the standpoint of the art market. The history of the issue is considered, the analysis of the main directions of research development in this subject area is carried out. In addition, the article clarifies the existing concept of "modern ceramic art" in China. Special attention is paid to the analysis of the most significant modern objects of Chinese ceramics presented in the domestic art market of the country. The features of the artistic originality of the masters Li Jiusheng, Wang Silyan, Zhang Songmao, Guo Aihe are revealed. The scientific novelty of the research is connected with the development of ideas about the modern ceramic art of China, its role in the modern art market, both at the national and international levels. For the first time, the criteria for the demand for modern porcelain are revealed; the idea is stated that the problem of collecting modern Chinese ceramics remains on the periphery of scientific discourse. A special contribution is the establishment and justification of the artistic value of a number of works carried out for the first time in science, which were sold at various auctions for fabulous money. The main conclusions of the study are the following. Currently, the development of the art market indicates that experts are beginning to realize the artistic value of modern Chinese ceramics art. The greatest interest among collectors is aroused by works in the spirit of "ceramic painting" with the use of modern technologies that allow expanding the expressive possibilities of painting on porcelain. The boom in collecting modern Chinese porcelain, observed since the beginning of the XXI century, testifies to the high level of artistic execution of objects of modern ceramic art in China, as well as such qualities as innovation and non-standardness in terms of choosing themes, visual effects, expression of the author's idea, rethinking academic traditions.

Abstract: The significance and artistic results of the Far Eastern ceramic productions launched in the second half of the XX century and liquidated at the beginning of the XXI century, as well as the creativity of the masters and artists who worked for them, are currently insufficiently studied In the Primorsky Territory, this is largely due to the general decline of the industry, the complexity of collecting primary information, the lack of reliable data, the problem of attribution of products etc. The subject of the study is the activity of master artists who worked at the art ceramics factory in the city of Spassk-Dalny, Primorsky Krai. The research was carried out using a set of theoretical and empirical methods, including comparative-historical, biographical, formal-stylistic, as well as interview methods and included observation, which allowed to identify the key figures of the masters who influenced the formation of their own unique style characteristic of this plant. As a result of the study, it was found that the formation of the creative team was carried out both from visiting specialists with specialized education and from local artists. Among the most significant masters of the Spassky Art Ceramics Factory are E. E. Skurikhin, A. I. Gornich, S. V. Danilyuk, Z. H. Zhelandinova, V. A. Lavrenova, A. A. Lupey, N. B. Ovchinnikova, L. Y. Skrynnikova, O. Timofeeva. These artists have made a significant contribution to the improvement of molding technologies and decoration of utilitarian and highly artistic products. The results of the activity of master ceramists led to a significant evolution of the forms and types of decoration of the products of the Spassky Art Ceramics Factory, creating their own style based on ethnic and regional flavor. The presented information can be used for attribution of ceramic products, studying the specifics of the author's artistic ceramics of the XX XXI centuries, forming a general picture of the evolution of Russian decorative and applied art.

Abstract: The goal of this research is the comprehensive examination of precious framing of the bestowed royal figures in Russia during the reign of Peter the Great. The author explores the circumstances of emergence of such awards in Russia and creation of precious frames of this time, possible “prototypes” of the diamond frame pattern that are similar to Western European awards, the masters who design these frames, etc. The article is based on the combination of art criticism and historical-cultural approaches. The object of this research was the award badges – royal figures of the first quarter of the XVIII century (enamel and graphic miniature portraits of Peter the Great, as well as minted medals). The research employs the written (unpublished archival documents) and visual sources (portraits of the grandees of the Petrine period with such awards; images of the royal figures on lithographs of the mid XIX century). It is established that precious frames of the bestowed royal figures of the first quarter of the XVIII century had the same pattern. Most likely, in design of the framing of award badges in Russia, the masters relied on the appearance of the royal figures brought by Peter I from England and Holland after the Great Embassy. These Western examples, in turn, had the “design” characteristic to similar royal awards of the XVII century. The article list the names of the jewelers who manufactured diamond frames of the bestowed royal figures in Russia of that time. These are the "foreigners" J. Westfahl, K. Boldan, I. Jasper. A significant part of such frames (over a hundred) was created by J. Westfahl. The design of precious frame for the royal figures of the Petrine period remained in similar awards of the Russian rulers and in XVIII – XIX centuries.

Abstract: This article is dedicated to modern trends in the art of wooden sculpture. The key question raised in the article consists in drawing the line between art and craft. The problem of distinguishing between these two terms is one of the crucial issues of the theory of art. Having examined the works of multiple contemporary artists in the genre of wooden sculpture, the author comes to the conclusion that the fundamental difference between craft and artistic wooden sculpture is the pursuance of naturalness by the artists, work with unfinished wood, fixation of the natural the beauty of the material, which is not much inherent to craftsmen. Turning to the modern ecological trends, it is suggested that the task of a contemporary artist and a human who desires to live in harmony with nature lies in cognizing the beauty of nature, even in its unsightly forms. The author claims that the greatness of nature is its diversity, in the current era of excessive production (for example, oversaturation), which also pertains to art objects, our shared goal is to working with the objects discovered, which are exposed to minimal processing, and first and foremost, demonstrate the beauty of nature.

Abstract: The goal of this research consists in comprehensive examination of all groups of gold, silver and diamond jewelers who were commissioned by the tsar in Moscow and Saint Petersburg in the late XVII – early XVIII centuries (their biographies, work organization, and artworks), as well as in analysis of stylistic evolution in the artistic image of items made of precious metals of that period. The research is based on the combination of art and historical-cultural approaches. The object this work the jewelry art of the time of Peter the Great. For achieving the set goal, the author refers to the unpublished archival documents and monument of decorative and applied art from the collections of Russian museums. Summary and analysis are conducted on the published material dedicated to the work of jewelers of that time; new records on the jewelers are introduced into the scientific discourse. The research demonstrates that that in the early XVIII century, tsar’s order was carried out by several teams of jewelers from Moscow and Saint Petersburg, who were simultaneously public servants and “free” artisans. The analysis of archival documents allowed specifying the nationality of foreign specialists, as well as the time of their arrival to Russia. The author suggests correlation between attitude of the monarch-commissioner towards court culture and the stylistics of works of decorative and applied art.

Abstract: The synthesis of materials in arts and crafts is a rather understudied topic in modern researches. The aim of this research is to analyze the synthesis of ceramics and metal as an independent trend of arts and crafts and relation of such artwork to other kinds of art and design as well as the influence of technology on the creation of an integral art image as a result of organic synthesis of two different materials. By saying so, the authors of the article mean the creation of a completely new artistic phenomenon that influence the material, aesthetic and spiritual spheres of human life. The methodology of the research is based on complex combination of art history and cultural research methods as well as the authors' practical experience. The researchers have also carried out historical comparison and stylistic analysis of different decorative compositions as well as touched upon the technological aspect of the matter. In their article the authors have attempted full analysis and generalisation of the research matter, i.e. synthesis of materials (metal and ceramics have been chosen as an example) in arts and crafts. As a result of their research, the authors have described typical features of creation of artwork out of ceramics and metal, their specific features, aesthetics and functions played at different time periods. The researchers have also outlined general trends of changes in the sphere of expressive means related to the change in the perception of artists and the use of new production technologies and methods of form making. Modern decorative art is more humanities-oriented, focused on the inner world of a person and has the emotional and imaginary role prevailing over traditional craft functions.

Abstract: The object of the research is the biography and creative life of a court jeweler Yakob Dublon who worked on the governor's order during the reign of Empress Elizabeth Petrovna. In her research Bykova also discusses the biography of Yakob Dublon's full brother Martin Carl Dublon who was the silversmith. The scope of the research also covers jewelry masterpieces stored in the collections of Russian museums. Bykova focuses on the circumstances under which the Small Imperial Crowns were created and used during the first half of the XVIIIth century. In her research Bykova applied the integral research method (based on the combination of the fine art and historical-cultural approaches) which enabled a better view of the main research issues. For the first time in the academic literature the author of the article has managed to define the origin of two famous jewelers who worked at Russian palace in the mid of the XVIIIth century Yakob and Martin Carl Dublon and to discover that they represented the traditions of Nuremberg silversmithes. The documents found by the author in the archives extended the scientific view of the creative life of these masters and the orders they made. In a number of cases it was possible to 'define' jewels created by Yakob Dublon. The results of the research demonstrate that Yakob Dublon made a great contribution to the development of the Russian art of jewellery. The name of that master also relates to the creation of new imperial regalias. It was Dublon who defined the stylistics of these insignias that were efficient throughout the second half of the XVIIIth century. They also analyzed the problem of creation, use and existence of the Small Imperial Crowns of the first half of the XVIIIth century that had never before been raised in the scientific literature.

Abstract: In her research Kanokova examines different kinds of traditional female headgear of the Nogais used by all Nogai ethnographic groups since the 14th (creation of the Nogai Horde) till the 20th century (the final stage of the development of the national Nogai female costume). The author of the article describes their sign function. By carrying out an integral analysis of the research objects, the author studies their stylistics, manifacturing technique, decoration technique, and relation to customs and religious concepts. This allows to define the infant, maiden, wedding and grown-up female headwear. Due to the insufficient study of the matter, the author has also used the method of field ethnography besides general and special cultural and art historical methods. The novelty of the research is caused by the fact that the author discovers and carries out an integral analysis of a wide range of female headgear kinds described or recorded in written or graphic sources and held in museum or private collections of regions where Nogai ethnographic groups live. For the first time in the academic literature the author defines local particularities and general features that define Nogai headgear as an individual type of headwear.
