Based on the works by the Kasli and Kusa iron factories from the collection of the Yekaterinburg Museum of Fine Arts, this article explores provisional and established sources used as models for the production of cast iron pieces in “Oriental style”, both as standalone images and as decorative details. The article describes historical context and conditions that facilitated the popularity and appeal of the Far-Eastern artistic traditions to the Russian craftsmen, and examines examples of borrowings, feature transformations and perceptions of the “exotic” images by factory workers. Many items found in the museum collection reflect several waves of “oriental” fashion, which reached Russia from Europe. Despite the distance of Yekaterinburg from the metropolitan centres, these influences reached Ural cast iron makers relatively quickly due to the fact that commissions from Moscow and Saint-Petersburg customers constituted the major part of local production. The conclusions presented here are that these works, and their possible sources, provide an evidence of a close connection between the regional Ural arts and crafts and European artistic process.

The article is the second part of the research that consider and analyze two exhibitions held in recent years at the A.S. Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts named, “Chanel: according to the laws of art” (2007) and “Dior: under the sign of art” (2011), dedicated to the largest fashion designers of our time. The original concepts and artistic solutions of the exhibition design of these exhibitions became events not only in the fashion world, but also in the art of the exhibitiaon. These exhibitions presented various exhibition solutions, vivid artistic images, expressive spatial organization, conceptual and scenographic arrangement of copyright collections in the context of high fine art. The most important conceptual component of the exhibitions was to present the art of fashion designers, juxtaposing, giving rise to associations and building analogies and contexts with visual art, against which unique collections were exhibited and in the circle. With this single conceptual view of their work, and the single space of the museum in which the exhibitions were held, the artistic and architectural strategy of the exhibitions was diametrically opposite, revealing the palette and variety of artistically expressive means and modern exhibition design. Both exhibitions were created by modern foreign curators and designers and represent talented and creative exposition projects, the analysis of which can be useful for domestic environmental design as vivid examples of the exposition as a genre of plastic art, which is considered the modern museum and exhibition exposition at its highest and creative forms.

SummaryThere are only a few sequences of ancient magic signs known to us today that have been preserved on multiple artefacts. A previously unnoticed sequence of 17 signs on a gem in the Museum of Fine Arts in Vienna occurs with minor but significant variations on two other gems in the State Museum of Egyptian Art in Munich. The Viennese gem is dated to the 16th century and is documented as a drawing in a 17th century publication. The first Munich gem has been assigned to the Graeco-Roman period. The second gem, which, according to the inventory card of the museum, also belongs to the Graeco-Roman period, is published here for the first time. A comparative study of the three gems and the drawing has lead to a number of new findings, including the re-dating of the Munich gems.
