Sculptural Image of Philosophers in Art: Grigory Skovoroda Pismichenko Alexander Ivanovich

Abstract

The article defines that, in modern times, fundamental ideas about monumental and decorative sculpture are beginning to undergo a rethinking, which also affected the foundations of the student learning process. It is revealed that the complex path of development that plastic has done over the course of a century needs a comprehensive philosophical and aesthetic understanding. Of particular relevance is the task of identifying the ideological sources of these changes, designating their stages, and determining the direction of evolution. The aim of the study is to reveal the transformation of the plastic image in the context of the history of culture and its development trends. Identification of features of the sculptural image of philosophers and the rationale for the search for the plastic image of G. Skovoroda. It is distinguished from history that the dominant interpretation of the subject plays the decisive role in the formation of the plastic image. For the culture of the 20th century with the position of anthropological negativism that is relevant to it as a whole, such stages of plastic image transformation as dehumanization of the image, deformation of the bodily image, image of fragmented, split corporality are caused by changes in the concepts of the subject. The form, the plastic image requires in addition for the full existence of a verbal expression, which can also be purely formal and fluid, but it is precisely the connectedness of “words and things” that gives rise to a work of art. The conclusions substantiate that the plastic image of G. S. Skovoroda, considered from the point of view of his formative role, plastic characteristics and thematic training programs, allowed to identify features in the process of teaching students and create a method of its manufacture in practice, and special attention in the learning process is necessary to give the figurative, associative characteristics of the means of artistic expression.
