The article is devoted to the works of Ivan Tankov (Tonkov), whose oeuvre remains a mystery in the history of Russian painting of the last third of the 18th century. The content of the artist’s creations, called “rural festivitiesˮ, has not yet been deciphered, as their stylistic features go beyond the mainstream development of the landscape genre. The connection of Tankov’s paintings with the manor culture and everyday life of a country estate suggests as the primary sources of the artist’s pictorial fantasies: the theatrical performances in the Demidovs estates Sivoritsy and Taitsy, located not far from St Petersburg. Comparison of the works by Tankov and by his contemporary, the landscape painter Semion Shchedrin, shows the stylistic multidirectionality of the landscape genre in the era of classicism. Romantic tendencies in scenery painting are intertwined with traditions of a bucolic landscape. The article concludes that in Tankov’s works pictorial models and real-life impressions are fused together in the spirit of Baroque art.

This article is dedicated to Moscow symbolist art group “Blue Rose”, named after the exhibition from 1907 and known for their special attention to the semantical and metaphysical attributes of the artistic material. Paint, canvas, primers, paper, brush stroke techniques – all of those components played a particular role in the creation of the figurative-formative system. The members of “Blue Rose” were inspired by creative genius of V.E. Borisov-Musatov and M.A. Vrubel as well as traditions of the Old Russian icon painting. The latter found its new beginning at the turn of the century, in the era of Symbolism. Icon as an example of the union between material matter and spiritual concepts significantly influenced the core ideas in the art of symbolism. The “Blue Rose” followed the path of combining traditions and innovation, further affecting the viewer’s perception of the art work by specific organization of its material structure. Sacralization and spiritualization of materialistic principles of art are closely related to the problem of the symbol, in which contradictions between materialistic and spiritual as well as worldly and divine are resolved.

The article summarizes the role of Alexander Benois in the study of French painting of the 18th century. His interest in this period is connected both with the peculiarities of art collecting in Russia and with rediscovery of French painting of the 18th century in France. Benois was well aware of the historical and literary sources of the 18th century as well as of the modern art history in France. The article examines the main categories used by Benois, who combined the methods of connoisseurship and essayism, and also analyzes the language and terms that he used in his books and articles.

Twelve watercolours by the topographer and videographer Gavriil Sergeev from the Uglich Museum were made during his serving in the Extraordinary Embassy of M.I. Kutuzov to Istanbul (1793–1794). Four of them were added to the report card with the marks of intelligence nature. At the same time these watercolours are of remarkable artistic significance. Their role in the development of the Russian landscape is indisputable. The combination of official tasks and the plein air approach set by them with the experience in mastering the academic tradition and passion for everything East make the artist's work an extremely attractive object for the close study.

Boris M. Sokolov
The article discusses the pictorial system of Pavel Kuznetsov, the leading master of the Blue Rose association, and its changes in the context of his work at the Crimean estate Novy Kuchuk-Koi in 1908–14. The art objects (photographed by the author in 2002 and 2021) show the artist's transition from the poetics of ghostly visions to clear and contrasting forms typical for Avant-Garde art. The mosaics, ceramics and frescoes of the estate reveal the experience in creating cyclic, closed composition specific for Kuznetsov’s paintings and graphic works. However, in the dialogue with the garden and the mountain landscape new, more energetic variations of the previous themes arise. In assessing Kuznetsov's artistic search the poetic characteristics of his work given by art historian A.M. Efros in his “Profiles” (1930) are taken into consideration.

The article is devoted to the history of friendship and cooperation between Alexandre Benois (1870–1960) and his elder nephew Eugene Lanceray (1875–1946). Being like-minded, they explored St Petersburg, its suburbs and France. Since 1898, they were participating at group exhibitions and at magazine and book projects. In the 1900s, they worked on the design of theatrical performances, created the interior of the dining room for the exhibition “Contemporary art” (1903). They were helping each other on commissioned artworks. In 1915–1916, they developed monumental panels for the Kazansky railway station in Moscow. Their last meeting took place in France in 1927, but the correspondence continued until 1946 (many fragments of their correspondence were never published before).
