Modern Monumental and Decorative Enamel in Russian Temple Architecture of the End of the 20th — the First Quarter of the 21st Century

Abstrak / Ringkasan

The genesis and evolution of modern artistic enamel are still poorly understood, as they have not been developed by either Russian or foreign researchers. Moreover, the issues of the use of easel and monumental-decorative enamel in modern temple architecture have not been touched upon in scientific literature at all. Nevertheless, in Russia, from the 1990s to the present, this type of artistic enamel has been in demand especially widely, along with easel enamel — enamel icons as one of the types of modern enamel art, which took shape in the last quarter of the 20 th century, and in the first quarter of the 21st century overcame the specific boundaries of decorative and fine arts. Today, enamel is used for the interior decoration of both restored and new churches. Its artistic and expressive properties have also proved to be in demand for interior and façade solutions of such socio-cultural objects as memorial temples. Using the example of several key objects of restored and new temples, the article analyzes the synthesis of modern enamel art and temple architecture. The results of the study show that today artistic enamel has not only gone beyond its specific boundaries as a technique of artistic metalworking — decoration and even an independent type of decorative art — panel paintings. It is also in demand in the development of artistic and ideological programs in temple architecture, in the restoration of old and the construction of new temple monuments.
