The work of Ukrainian artists who have contributed to Ukrainian and international art, is not sufficiently disclosed. Their creative search impresses with versatility, interesting decision, continues to impress and inspire contemporaries. Purpose of the article — to find out the contribution of the Ukrainian avant-garde artist, set designer, teacher Oleksandra Ekster, to the Ukrainian and international fine arts. Oleksandra Ekster’s work has been the subject of research for decades. Scientists are interested in the painter’s art search, her contribution to Ukrainian avant-garde, scenography reforms, and teaching activity. Some sources may state that Ekster is a representative of Russian avant-garde. However, the artist grew up in Kyiv, obtained art education and promoted with her work not only Ukrainian but world avant-garde as well. The research of modern scientists (H. Kovalenko, D. Horbachova, T. Filevska, N. Stoliarchuk, M. Yur and others) makes it possible to review the artist’s life and artistic journey as well as her contribution to art history. The research methodology consists of a range of methods: historical, biographical, theoretical. The abovementioned methodological approach allows studying the question of historical data relating to the events in Ukraine that led to the emigration waves, finding out certain biographical facts and analyzing the artist’s creative activity.

This article examines some of the problems associated with the initial classification and subsequent reclassification of a specialist Fine Art library. The Library at the then Chelsea School of Art was established in the early 1960s. It was unusual, ‘being predominantly a fine art (painting and sculpture) institution, with lesser responsibilities in design.’ Most ‘off the peg’ classification schemes do not incorporate enough flexibility for the detail required by such a specific collection, but do include large sections devoted to design subjects which were unnecessary at the time. It was decided, therefore, to create a bespoke scheme for the Chelsea collection, and this was adapted several times over the years to fit in with the changing landscape of art history and art education. In January 2005, Chelsea College of Art & Design relocated to a new unified site on Millbank, merging the three very specialised libraries: Manresa Road (Fine Art), Hugon Road (Interior and Spatial Design, Graphics and Illustration) and Lime Grove (Textiles and Public Art). One of the major challenges of this relocation was to bring all the collections together under one classification scheme.

Редкое исследование, посвященное современному художественному процессу, его участникам, обходится без употребления термина «школа». При этом его содержание трактуется очень широко: от сложившейся и действующей на протяжении большого отрезка времени системы полного цикла профессионального художественного образования до принадлежности художников одной территории или следования за лидером в выборе стилевых предпочтений. В статье дается краткий очерк истории появления и бытования термина «школа», предлагается уточнение его содержания в современных условиях и на этой основе предпринимается попытка оценить ситуацию с формированием региональных школ в России на примере Дальнего Востока. A rare study devoted to the contemporary art process, its participants, dispenses with the use of the term "school". At the same time, its content is interpreted very broadly: from the system of a full cycle of professional art education that has been established and has been operating for a long period of time to artists belonging to the same territory or following the leader in choosing style preferences. The article gives a brief outline of the history of the emergence and existence of the term "school", suggests clarifying its content in modern conditions and on this basis attempts to assess the situation with the formation of regional schools in Russia, using the example of the Far East.

This paper examines an important moment in the recent history of UK art education by examining the magazine Block, a radical and interdisciplinary publication produced from within the art history department of an art school in the late 1970s and 1980s. Block was created and edited by a small group of lecturers at Middlesex Polytechnic, most of whom were art school educated; it was formed by, and in turn influenced, the milieu of studio-based art education in the UK. Despite the small scale of its operation, the magazine had a wide distribution in art colleges and was avidly read by lecturers looking for ways to incorporate new theoretical, often Marxist, feminist, poststructuralist, perspectives into their teaching.

This article is dedicated to the relevant problem of art history, and determines the degree of impact of the traditions of the Soviet Academy of Art History upon the art education of the People's Republic of China. The fundamental role in this process is assigned to the Chinese students who studied in I. E. Repin Leningrad State Institute of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture of the USSR Academy of Arts during the 1950s – 1960s, as well as their pedagogues and academic advisors. The article analyzes the stenographic materials of state attestation of the four Chinese students of the faculty of Theory and History of Art, who defended their theses in 1959 and 1960. The novelty of this research lies in the fact that the the materials of the Scientific Archive of the Russian Academy of Arts that were not previously used in scientific discourse, namely work with the stenographic materials of state attestation of the selected students, reveal certain peculiarities of art history and art education of the People's Republic of China, description of the tradition of the Soviet Academy of Art History and its impact upon the Chinese education at the turn of the 1950s – 1960s. The Chinese graduates of I. E. Repin Leningrad State Institute of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture have later continued the traditions of the Soviet Academy of Art History, and laid the foundation for education of the future generations of specialists in the field of art. The conducted research determines several relevant trends of the Soviet School that influenced the development of Chinese art history.

Professor Huxley, in his recent address to the students of Aberdeen University, drew attention to the growing desire for a knowledge of art and of art history, and trusted the day would not be far distant when a chair for this important branch of study wou ld be founded in each university and school of art throughout the length and breadth of the land. It is scarcely credible that, with the immense facilities within the grasp of the Royal Academy, this body has hitherto allowed the teaching of art history and æsthetics to be entirely neglected. And who will not agree that these two most important branches of an art education are simply a necessity? Historical painting—acknowledged to be the highest, most elevating, and instructive form of pictorial representation—can never attain that degree of excellence of which it is capable, unless the art student passes through a thorough course of historical teaching during his academical career. Many of the art monstrosities to be found in, and supposed to adorn, the metropolis, would never have been called into being had the study of æsthetics held a place in the academy curriculum.
