Description
Summary:Examines the works of art of the famous Russian visual artist that were based on reconsidering traditions of the Russian North. The author aims to outline the ways of redesigning the folk art tradition in individual creation. The terms of “North traditions’ synergism” and “traditional­individual creation” are proposed and conceptualised. It is argued that the art of the Russian North was essential in Bilibin’s creative work and it is still the vivid source of Russian culture. Рассматриваются произведения художника И.Я. Билибина, основанные на творческом осмыслении традиций Русского Севера. Цель статьи - выявить пути переработки народного искусства в индивидуальном творчестве. Введены термины «синергизм северных традиций» и «традиционно­индивидуальное творчество». Автор полагает, что северное искусство - одна из важнейших основ творчества Билибина, живительный исток отечественной культуры.
