Diego Rivera was an artist born in 1886 in the Mexican city of Guanajuato. The family relocated to Mexico City in 1892 as a consequence of the liberal politics of Rivera’s father. In the capital, Rivera was educated at the National Preparatory School and the National School of Fine Arts (formerly known as the Academy of San Carlos), where he studied under Félix Parra, Santiago Rebull, and José María Velasco. In 1904, he met Dr. Atl, who was likely the first to encourage Rivera to explore Modernism. By utilizing the multifaceted, compressed, and interlocking planes characteristic of Cubism together with the naturalistic forms more common to academic art, his works represent a peculiar blend of the academic and the avant garde.

In the autumn of 1902 Károly Ferenczy (1862–1917) painted a double portrait of Gyula Schönherr (1864–1908) and his father Antal Schönherr (†1905) in Nagybánya (today Baia Mare, Romania). Antal Schönherr was the police chief of the town, but his son had long been living in Budapest and pursued a serious career as a historian. After the onset of his career in the Archives of the Hungarian National Museum, he edited the periodical Turul rallying heraldic research, the periodical of book historical research Magyar Könyvszemle, the volumes of the Millennial Hungarian History, and he became the secretary of the National Inspectorate of Museums and Libraries set up in 1897. In 1896, at the age of 32, he became corresponding member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. He supported the art colony of Nagybánya from its foundation. Károly Ferenczy was a friend of the Schönherr family in Nagybánya; he painted the double portrait as a present to Gyula Schönherr. Gyula Schönherr’s unpublished letters to his family reveal the process of portraiture (with references to the creative methods of the painter), the display and reception of the portrait in Budapest and its subsequent fate, the further contacts between Ferenczy and his painter friends and the Schönherr family. After Gyula Schönherr’s death the painting remained with the family, who donated it to the Museum of Fine Arts in 1926, since when it has been in public collections.

The article considers the problems of creating a semantic component of the pedagogical narrative (based on biographical studies of prominent personalities of Ukrainian national art) as an effective method of professional-pedagogical education of teachers of fine arts. Among the most representative phenomena of Ukrainian culture are the works by Hanna Sobachko-Shostak, Kateryna Bilokur, Oleksandr and Nadiia Babenko, the Piliuhin family. As a result of the research, the individual features of our selected outstanding masters of Ukrainian folk art were clarified, the influence of the social environment and the family on the formation and creative development of outstanding Ukrainian folk artists was determined.The Department of Fine Arts of Poltava V. G. Korolenko National Pedagogical University has developed biographical narratives about outstanding masters of Ukrainian traditional folk art, which are used in teaching the following subjects: "History of Ukrainian Fine Arts", "History of Decorative and Applied Arts", "Basics of Decorative Composition". The study proved the effectiveness and feasibility of introducing biographical narratives in the training of future teachers of fine arts.

Goals And Objectives

The paper analyzes the means of forming intangible values among adolescents at the age of 14 to 18 years. In this regard, special attention is paid to the content of the concept of “value” and the peculiari-ties of its interpretation by scientists in the field of philosophy, psychology and pedagogy. The role of the teacher, the environment, and the family in the formation of axiological priorities in adolescents is established. At the same time, their influence on the spiritual and moral sphere of children is carried out both separately and comprehensively from the per-spective of a single and consistent system of educa-tion. It is noted that fine arts have highly effective means for influencing teenagers’ picture of the world of values. In particular, the author emphasizes the relevance of using modern media tools, the In-ternet and social networks in the system of addi-tional education, which provide teenagers with the opportunity for self-realization and self-improvement. It is argued that the use of technolog-ical progress in the organization of fine arts signifi-cantly increases their effectiveness and contributes to the achievement of creative and educational goals and objectives, including the formation of a system of adolescents’ spiritual and moral values.

Karen Blixen was a singular figure in 20th century Danish literary life. In the 1930s, when Blixen started writing, Danish literature was dominated by social realism centred on the contemporary world. Blixen nourished the myth of herself as the timeless aristocratic storyteller who wrote her works independently of her own historical context. However, by drawing lines to Nietzsche, existentialism, and psychology, Blixen scholars have clearly demonstrated that she belongs to modernism. As her contemporary Samuel Becket, she was a bilingual author (she wrote her works in English and Danish). Karen Blixen’s life can be divided into three different phases: During the first (1903–1913), Blixen studied at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen and wrote her first works under the pseudonym Osceola. The second begins in 1914, when she moved to Kenya (British East Africa) with Bror Blixen. The two were separated in 1921, leaving Karen Blixen to run the coffee farm at Ngong Hills alone until financial problems forced her to sell it in 1932. Finally, in 1931, Blixen returned to Denmark and remained at the family manor Rungstedlund until her death in 1962.

The 19Th Century

The article reviews the biography and works of the painter Roza Parczewska. The life of the painter presented in the publication was picked up crumb by crumb from various sources of the 21st century. However, these are only small light flashes in the surface layers of the history, which passed into silence. Her life is worth a much more detailed historical research, or maybe even a pen of the novelist. Roza Parczewska (15 September 1799 – 20 October 1852, Raudondvaris Manor of Nemenčinė) was born in the family of colonel Ignacy and Salomea Dziewońska Parczewska. The painter devoted her life to the family, charity work and painting. At the end of the 18th – beginning of the 19th century, a number of people of the manor made attempts in the fine arts, although they did not have appropriate education. It is not known where and when Parczewska studied painting. However, it is likely that she was acquainted with it during her general education. She painted miniatures early in her life. Later she moved to the large-scale oil paintings of religious motives in churches. Parczewska participated actively in the artistic life. She was the first woman in Lithuania who participated with her own works in exhibitions. Her miniatures painted on ivory received an extremely high recognition. The painter created in the spirit of that time and was employed to make copies of popular miniatures of that time. She painted very thoroughly, perfectly repeating the original images. Therefore, her works were especially popular and wide-spread in Lithuanian manors. Alexander Parczewski recorded eight miniatures and fifteen paintings painted by his sister. However, a complete creative heritage of the painter is unknown. It is obvious that her brother Alexander mentioned not all of her works. A part of her paintings were lost in church fires (for example, in 1842 and 1947 all her paintings were lost in the fire of Nemenčinė church). The religious painting of Parczewska was inspired by the tendencies and traditions characteristic of this field of art. The painter brilliantly and thoroughly copied the works of the well-known painters. For example, in 1831 R. Parczewska created a painting of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the Kretinga Franciscan Church according to the painting by Szymon Czechowicz from the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Parish Church in Węgrów (Poland). Another painting of R. Parczewska created in 1837 according to the same work by S. Czechowicz is kept at the altar of Our Lady in Grodno Cathedral (Belarus). R. Parczewska as an amateur painter reached very satisfactory results. She was one of the first women painters who participated in the exhibitions where her works gained praise words. However, the modern art critics estimate her ability of painting as average. Nevertheless, the preserved paintings are considered to be an interesting and valuable example of the specific phenomenon of amateur painter’s creation of the 19th century in Lithuania.

The work of the French-born Argentine artist Fernando Fader is one of the most prominent and appreciated in Argentina. Fader was born in Bordeaux, France, but his family settled in Mendoza, Argentina just a few years later. His parents, a German engineer and a French viscountess, sent Fader to Europe to complete his primary and secondary school education in France and Germany. After some brief artistic training in Mendoza, during which he focused on depicting urban landscapes, he moved to Germany to study art at the Munich Academy of Fine Arts with Heinrich von Zügel, a specialist in pictures of animals in an impressionistic style. Von Zügel stimulated Fader to work in plein air (outdoors) painting. His spontaneous techniques, vibrant colors and brushstrokes contributed to the introduction of modernism in the local artistic field. After the death of his father, Fader took over the family business. In 1913, a flood destroyed the power station of his company in Mendoza, which eventually went bankrupt. Because of this, he decided to move to Buenos Aires and dedicate his life entirely to painting. He died in Loza Corral, Córdoba province, on February 25, 1935.

The Individual

In recent years, much uncertainty and outright scepticism surrounds the notion of character. In the arts—painting, the novel, drama, film—the notion of character has receded into the background. The loss of character is especially conspicuous in those artistic forms in which it traditionally occupied centre-stage: drama, the novel, films. The withdrawal of character from the arts has in fact become a topic of debate in the theory and criticism of the arts. In the arts themselves, the difficulty, if not the impossibility, of attaining character is a common subject. Since ordinary sentiments are readily reflected in the fine arts, it is natural to suspect that character is not held in high regard in everyday life. Even if we take a dim view of the suggestion that the arts mirror ordinary sentiments with little distortion, a decline in the importance of character is evident in other humane disciplines: history is a striking example. Indeed, if we attend to our major social institutions—the family, the courts, the bureaucracy—it would be difficult to point to any in which the question of character is more than a peripheral concern. Indeed, it appears that the appraisal of character is of central concern in modern society only when the individual is in some way beyond the pale: in institutions of punishment, rehabilitation, mental health.

Собрание Национального художественного музея Республики Саха (Якутия) – это осмысленный итог подвижнического труда многих поколений. Коллекции музея по своему общему составу представляют большой историко-художественный интерес и включают обширный ряд уникальных произведений, являясь органичной частью мировой художественной сокровищницы. Яркой страницей в истории музейного дела в республике стала безвозмездная передача в 1962 году более 250 произведений западноевропейского искусства ХVI – ХIХ веков из семейного собрания известного якутского ученого, доктора экономических наук, профессора Михаила Федоровича Габышева (1902 – 1958). В составе дара можно отметить работы итальянских мастеров – Николо Реньери (ок. 1590 – 1667), Джованни Баттиста Питтони (1687 – 1767), голландских художников – Александра Адриансена (1587 – 1661), Фредерика де Мушерона (1633 – 1686), превосходные портреты неизвестного фламандского мастера первой четверти ХVII века. На основе картин из коллекции М. Ф. Габышева в 1970 году в бывшем здании Якутского уездного казначейства, построенном в 1909 году, был открыт  филиал – «Музей западноевропейского искусства», преобразованный в 1995 году в «Галерею зарубежного искусства имени профессора М. Ф. Габышева».  Статья рассказывает о принципах и процессе формирования собрания знаменитого коллекционера. The collection of the National Fine Arts Museum of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) is a meaningful result of the hard work of many generations. The Museum's collections are of great historical and artistic interest and include a wide range of unique works, being an organic part of the world art Treasury. The significant moment in the history of Museum life in the Republic was the gratuitous transfer (gift) in 1962 of more than 250 works of Western European art of the XVI – XIX centuries from the family collection of the famous Yakut scientist, Doctor of Economics, Professor Mikhail Gabyshev (1902 – 1958). In the composition of the gift can be noted Italian masters – Niccolo Reniery (about 1590 – 1667), Giovanni Battista Pittoni (1687 – 1767), Dutch artists – Alexander Adriansen (1587 – 1661), Frederico de Mucheron (1633 – 1686), excellent portraits of the unknown Flemish master of the first quarter of the XVII century. On the basis of paintings from the collection of M.F. Gabyshev in 1970, in the former building of the Yakut district Treasury, built in 1909, a branch was opened – the Museum of West European Art, transformed in 1995 into the Gallery of Foreign Art named after Professor M.F. Gabyshev. The article deals with the principles and process of forming the assemblage of the famous collector.
