Limanskaya, L. Yu. Historical Memory of Place and Time: Odessa School of Fine Arts between Classical Avant-Garde, Non-Conformism and Trans Avant-Garde

Abstract: After the revolution Odeassa avantgarde was supported by Mikhail Boychuk, Ukranian follower of Diego Rivera and David Siqueiros. In 1923 the Polytechnic University of Fine Arts of the Odessa Art School was created where he and his students G. Komar, I. Gurvin and M. Gronets created the Faculty of Monumental Decorative Fine Arts. The main purpose of the new movement in arts was to go beyond the borders of salons and workshops and create monumental pieces of art addressed to common people. These ideas were supported by the Literary Fair almanac which editors, publicist N. Khvylevsky and writer K. Bureviy were attracted to Pablo Picasso’s works. After the war followers of classical avant-garde T. Fraerman, M. Zhuk and N. Shelutto continued to work in the South Ukranian school of arts despite the idealogical pressure. Early avant-garde traditions were later reviewed by their followers – leaders of nonconformism during 1950– 1960, O. Sokolov and Yu. Egorov, who created new fine art systems and anticipated nonconformistic findings in 1970th.
