REPRESENTATION OF THE MEMORIAL CULTURE IN CHECHEN PAINTING (2000-2012)

Abstract

The object of the research is the memorial culture in Chechen painting, the subject being its representation in the works of Chechen artists. The purpose of the study is to consider the representation of the phenomenon of memorial memory in the work of Chechen artists. The paintings of national artists of Chechnya served as empirical material in the work. The methodology is based on comparative studies, art history and the system-constructive analysis. The authors construct the concepts of memorial heritage in the paintings of Chechen artists, revealing the universal characteristics of their work. For the authors, memorial culture comes down to a variety of ways to materialize the socio-cultural ethnic context, including the visualization of mythological and religious meanings, as well as the translation of mental characteristics and ethnic archetypes. The deep memory of the people includes historical and cultural areas, which include artistic images born in a creative way. In turn, ethnic art serves as a kind of reflection of ethnophilosophy, the mentality of the people, national traditions and a means of conveying the deep memory of the people.
