The Beginnings of the Cult Puppet Theatre in Romania
No full textThe Romanian puppet theatre had many forms of tradition, which appeared as a result of many intercultural influences. The ucrainean vertep influenced the marionnette tradition of vicleim, the influence of turkish karagöz is present in the satirical theatre from 18th century, Punch and Judy and Kasperle are similar with the romanian Vasilache, a.s.o. Many of these popular traditions survived until the middle of the 20th century. However, at the beginning of the 20th century, a modern form of puppetry art was born, as in the other countries from Europe. This fenomenon occured especially as a result of the influence of the cech and austrian marionette theatres. In this moment were founded some marionnette theatres in Romania, as repertory and art theatres. This article is about that important moment of the foundation of the modern animation theatre
Comprehensive Conservation and Restoration of Two Frames for the Temple Icons of the Sampson Cathedral in St. Petersburg
No full textThe article is devoted to the restoration of two carved gilded frames to the temple icons of the 1760s in the Rococo style, during the work on which the techniques of conservation, restoration, reconstruction and recreation associated with the severe physical condition of the objects of church decorative and applied art received in the restoration were comprehensively applied. The purpose of the study and practical work was to return the expositional appearance of church objects of decorative and applied art as monuments of cultural heritage of Russia. During the study part of the project, printed and handwritten materials of many Russian experts in art and restoration, including Andrei Petrovich Aplaksin, a member of the Imperial Archaeological Commission, author of the restoration project of the Sampson Cathedral in 1908–1909, diocesan architect-restorer, civil engineer, artist, archaeologist, historian of Russian architecture, writer, were studied. Thanks to the well-coordinated and consistent restoration and restoration processes performed on the monuments, professional craftsmen: sculptors, carpenters, wood carvers and gilding restorers managed to turn the shapeless, heavily soiled fragments of fragments of two frames to the temple icons back into frames. After a comprehensive restoration of the two frames, it was possible to restore them to their former expositional appearance, prolong their life and preserve these monuments of church art for contemporaries and descendants, and then place them in the temple in their former historical places, i.e., to fulfill the main task of the restorers—to preserve the cultural heritage of Russia

Features of the Event-Geographical Distribution of Folk-Art Products in Russia
No full textRussian folk crafts are a form of folk art, in which Russian traditional customs, which originated many centuries ago, are clearly traced. Russian handicrafts combine the uniqueness of Russian traditional culture. Russian art painting has at least 28 geographical varieties, fabric products have at least 11 geographical varieties, metal products and bone carvings have six geographical varieties each, toys have at least 16 geographical varieties. All of them were distributed in various ways on the territory of both Russia and foreign countries. The object of the study was the processes of distribution of works of folk art in Russia. The subject of the study was the mechanisms of distribution of folk-art products in Russia. The purpose of the study was to comprehend the historical practice of the realisation of works of traditional folk-art crafts, characteristics of the role of small retailers (ofenias, peddlers, walkers), fairs, national and international exhibitions in this process. Historical, logical, and critical research methods were applied to achieve the tasks set. The research used scientific articles and monographs of famous Russian and Soviet researchers in traditional applied art of Russia. The author concludes that in the new millennium, the traditional applied art of Russia has entered into conditions when interest in its ancestral roots and folk art has already covered a considerable part of Russian society. However, certain difficulties for the traditional applied art of Russia arise due to weak and ineffective advertising, and the lack of a distribution system for artistic products. If the sale of antiques, as well as the so-called “modern art” rely on a wide network of relevant institutions and organisations, then the sale of Russian folk-art products is just beginning to acquire organised forms. It seems that over time, a network of sales and distribution of folk-art products should still develop. When creating such a network, the experience of the past may well be useful
Law in the process of globalization
No full textThe process of globalization has become an integral part of the modern development of the whole society. Its influence is more evident every day. It primarily affects such areas as: politics, economics, culture in general, the media. The issue of the consequences of globalization for the development of law and the state is very interesting and relevant also because globalization is a very controversial phenomenon that entails not only positive, but also negative consequences for the development of states and their national legal systems.

The purpose of the course work is to study law in the process of globalization. The degree of development of the topic. Issues related to the study of the state, the legal system of society, globalization, the definition of their essence, form and functional purpose, have been and remain one of the central ones in the general theory of state and law. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that in the context of globalization, the transformation of the legal system, including Russian society, creates a new quality of interaction between national and international legal norms, which consists in strengthening mutual influence and requires a consensus approach. The study was conducted on the basis of dialectical-materialistic methodology, within the framework of which logical, formal-legal, historical-legal, comparative-legal and other methods of scientific knowledge were used to solve the research problems

Cyclicity in Creation: From Drawing to Memory, from Memory to Drawing
No full textThis study provides a wider view over Romanian contemporary painting from the two national poles of art: Iasi, located in the north-east part of the country and Timisoara, representing the west side of Romania. It is focused on fusing painting and drawing, with an array of works on paper such as drawings, watercolor, altered photographs and mixed media by Smaranda Moldovan and mixed media portraits on canvas by Ioana Palamar. Both study cases present a microcosmos of the intangible cultural heritage with roots in memory, not a collective one, but an individual one – a long term memory and an iconic memory of landscapes from Romania and France. The study shows the importance of memory in contemporary art, even if it was nominated as a cliche. The authors believe that memory has still not been sufficiently offered as an empirical art research method and that memory combined with the two genders, painting and drawing, can produce a new and unique repository of imagery

Politeness and the Art Criticism Discourse
No full textArt criticism usually manifests itself in such written genre-texts as art reviews. When producing such a text, the critic finds himself/herself in a position of the interface between the general public and the artist, and, consequently, between the general public and the work of art. While, on the one hand, the critic has to remain true to his/her role as a guide to mediating understanding and appreciation of the works of art by the audiences, meanwhile bringing efficient/effective suggestions for the artists, on the other, the critic also needs to be a master of good writing in the use of the most effective discourse strategies. These include the application of the most relevant politeness principles for the sake of perpetuating good communication throughout the art world. The present study aims to discern the mechanisms of utilizing those principles in art criticism, in direct relationship to how works of art are (negatively) evaluated by the critics, who may balance between remaining polite and becoming utterly/straightly impolite, for the sake of truth
Artistic Strategies in Oliviero Toscani’s Advertising
No full textIn this article, we will discuss how contemporary advertising becomes the territory where various artistic expressions contribute in a complementary way to the constitution of the meaning of a work. The case study will approach the activity of Oliviero Toscani, and his two decades of collaboration with Benetton materialized in memorable advertising campaigns that rewrote the visual history of contemporary advertising. We will analyze how photographic media provides advertising with one of the most consistent expressive resources, based on the realism of the image, the endless possibilities in managing the visual composition, the premises of reproducibility and, last but not least, the appetite of an audience eager for the technological image. Also, we will try to discuss the creative premises and mechanisms that characterize Toscani’s creation, the reading conditions of his advertising works, as well as how his creative strategies combine the expressiveness of the technological precision of press photography, and the appropriation strategies specific to artistic postmodernity
