Memory and monuments – labor on earth. Monumental sculpture

Abstract

The article provides a detailed analysis of the development of sculpture in works dedicated to the glorification and admiring the beauty of the farmer's work. The authors talk about the problems facing artists in this sphere, give a general definition of this direction, its boundaries and connections with other types of art. The authors claim that the task of the sculpture is not to exhibit, but to live, give the examples of the theme of rural labor used by artists, and glorifying the beauty of work on the land. The paper concludes that it is necessary to preserve both traditional and innovative forms of this type of art closely related to peasant life.
