metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article is devoted to the study of visual semantics in the artworks of the famous artist
  Vladimir Makovsky (1846–1920). This painter entered the history of Russian art as an outstanding
  master of “small genre”, the author of a short, fascinating story in painting. It is no
  coincidence that the contemporaries compared the characters in V. Makovsky’s paintings with
  the heroes of N. Gogol’s, I. Turgenev’s, A. Ostrovsky’s, L. Tolstoy’s, M. Gorky’s, A. Chekhov’s
  works. The author makes an attempt of interdisciplinary research, analyzing the “Artistic text”
  in V. Makovsky’s paintings in the aspect of philological problems, using the appropriate methodology
  and terminology, as well as touching upon the issues of psychological perception and
  comprehension of his works of art. The article draws parallels between the rhetorical figures
  (antithesis, comparison, metaphor, metonymy, hyperbole) and the visual tropes in V. Makovsky’s
  paintings and, using specific examples, examines the role of the psychological landscape,
  quotation, artistic detail, mirror, observer’s position, the techniques of “story in a story”
  (“picture in a picture”) in painting. Language — a cultural code — performs two formally opposite
  functions: on the one hand, it preserves and reproduces traditions, and on the other, it
  provides dynamics through creative innovation. Verbal language affects the viewer gradually
  in time, with a clear sequence of language elements, visual language affects the viewer onestep
  and complex. It is argued that in V. Makovsky’s artworks there is an intense penetration of
  techniques and image-associative references associated with literary tradition. The means of
  artistic expression in literature and in visual arts reflect the action of general mental operators
  associated with creation and transformation activities.
