Цель настоящей статьи – исследование азербайджанских мотивов в творчестве известного русского живописца, народного художника РСФСР Федора Модорова. В середине 20-х гг. прошлого века Модоров, побывав в Азербайджане, создал ряд работ, посвященных нефтяной индустрии республики, а также истории и культуре азербайджанского народа. Несмотря на то, что от момента создания этих полотен прошел почти век, они до сих пор не были предметом отдельных изысканий. Автор попытался восполнить этот пробел – им осуществлена классификация относящихся к данной теме произведений художника, проведен их краткий искусствоведческий анализ и впервые дана оценка в художественном и историческом аспектах. В ходе исследования также было отмечено, что в наше время, когда культурные связи между Азербайджаном и Россией вступили в новую фазу, освещение их истории приобретает особое значение, позволяя народам обеих стран глубже узнать и оценить общее историко-художественное наследие. The aim of the article is an art history analysis of the works on the theme of Azerbaijan by the outstanding Russian painter, people’s artist of the RSFSR Fedor Alexandrovich Modorov (1890–1967). This analysis involves the establishment and refinement of the history of these works’ creation, the classification and definition of their historical and artistic significance. In the study, the author used the historical-comparative method to analyze Modorov’s works and compare them with works of other Russian artists. The research materials were Modorov’s paintings, as well as historical, biographical, and art studies by Soviet, Russian, and Azerbaijani researchers. The problem is characterized by an extremely poor degree of elaboration: on its own, the theme of Azerbaijan was not even distinguished by researchers who studied the artist’s works. Meanwhile, over the years of his creative business trip to Azerbaijan at the initiative of the Association of Artists of Revolutionary Russia in the 1920s–1930s, Modorov painted about 20 paintings and watercolors directly related to Azerbaijani themes. During the study, most of the artist’s works on the theme of Azerbaijan were examined, their historical and artistic significance was determined and substantiated, features associated with national specifics were identified and shown. The history of some paintings is clarified, the works are systematized by genre and theme. Modorov’s works are compared with other artists’ paintings on the topic. Modorov’s Azerbaijani series is divided into four groups according to the thematic principle: historical and revolutionary theme; industrial landscape; city landscape; national theme. Common features were revealed in the ideological, aesthetic, and artistic solutions of the paintings: they all show industrial achievements, development of public life and activities; convey the rich national color and character, everyday characteristics of the people; reflect the panorama of Baku and its historical and architectural monuments. The artistic and historical significance of these works is emphasized, despite the fact that about a hundred years have passed since their creation. It is noted that, at present, when the cultural ties between Azerbaijan and Russia have entered a new phase, coverage of the history of mutual cultural ties is of particular importance as it allows the peoples of both countries to more deeply learn and appreciate the common historical and artistic heritage.

Purpose of the article аnalyze the features of Islamic geometric ornament as a historical and at the same time modern artistic phenomenon, its formation, development, traditional structural elements. Methodology. General scientific research methods, chronological and historical ‒ comparative, figurative-stylistic, semantic, and theoretical-art history analysis are applied. Results. The features of the historical development of geometric ornament in the countries of Islam, its national, historical, mental, figurative, artistic features are analyzed. Recognized in the world as a unique work of art, Islamic geometric ornament is known for its compositional construction which consists of simple elements (circle, square, triangle). Then by connecting and repeating the shapes according to a certain grid pattern, a complex pattern (hexagon, octagon, star pattern) is created. The richness of the artistic culture of Islam is embodied in the range of its variants. It was found that the geometric ornament, which is the main decorative element on numerous objects, embodies a deep spiritual content. Geometric Islamic ornament embodies thousands of years of creative practice that has become traditional in the Arab East. At the same time, in the modern world, Muslim ornamental traditions remain relevant and reveal opportunities for introducing the acquired artistic experience of the Arab countries into new creative practices, including graphic design. Scientific novelty consists in determining the place and significance of Islamic geometric ornament in modern cultural and historical processes, taking into account its traditional aesthetic, substantial, structural and compositional content. Practical significance. The proposed research expands the understanding of the possibilities of using the traditions of Islamic ornament in modern creative practices. The results can be used in design practice.

B. Greuze and T. Gainsborough. In general, the specific artistic and figurative manner of E.

Among modern studies in the history of the Stavropol Cossacks, the following topics stand out: military life and everyday life, folklore and song traditions, the movement for the revival of the Cossacks, as well as the current state and prospects for the development of Cossack organizations. The prospect of the development of pedagogical technologies based on the Cossack traditions of educating young people in Stavropol is highlighted as a separate topical topic. The relevance of the study lies in the need for a private study of the historiography of the regional Cossack group of Stavropol Cossacks in order to expand the scientific and pedagogical tools in the field of «Cossack studies». The practical significance of the study is expressed in the possibility of using the data of the article in the search for supporting material for teaching the "History of the Cossacks" in a higher educational institution (taking into account the regional specifics). The scientific novelty of the research is expressed in a new view of the Stavropol Cossacks as an independent Cossack group formed at the end of the XVIII century. The source base is represented mainly by archival data from the State Archives of the Stavropol Territory, data banks on archaeological, cultural and linguistic expeditions, sources of personal origin, the works of contemporary historians and directly the works of historians, whose studies formed the basis of the historiography of the history of the Stavropol Cossacks. The research methodology is based on the principles of historiographic comparative studies and comparative analysis of sources. Within the framework of the sociocultural approach, we rely on the following methods. Special-historical: the narrative method, the historical-comparative method, the historical-systemic method, the retrospective method. Sociological: document analysis, method of generalizing characteristics, method of ideal types. Culturological: comparative method, cultural-systemic method.

The article analyzed concept of the study of art by Robin George Collingwood (1889-1943), a well-known English neo-hegelian philosopher. His significant part of the theoretical heritage is connected with the explanation of the nature of art and with the consideration of its condition during the period of the changing Oscar Wilde era to the era of Rudyard Kipling. The circle of problem such as content and form, character, image, mimesis, reflection, emotion, art and "street man" identified. All of them in Collingwood's presentation and interpretation significantly expanded the space of research not only English, but also European art criticism. The concept of study of art is "built" on the basis of an active understanding of historical and cultural traditions accented. The concept of art criticism of R.G. Collingwood – a famous English philosopher of the XIX-XX centuries, on the one hand, has self-importance, and on the other, although based on the traditions of contemporary humanities, still expands art history analysis of aesthetics through aesthetics and psychology. Recognizing the exhaustion of the English model of romanticism, R.G. Collingwood tries to outline the prospects for the development of art in the logic of the movement "romanticism – realism – avant-garde", which leads to the actualization of the problem of "mimesis – reflection". At the same time, the theorist's attention is consciously concentrated around the concept of "subject", the understanding of which is radically changing at the turn of the XIX-XX centuries. Theoretical material in the presentation of R.G. Collingwood is based on the work of Shakespeare, Reynolds, Turner, Cezanne, whose experience allows us to focus on the problem of "artist and audience". It is emphasized that Collingwood's position is ahead of its time, stimulating scientific research in the European humanities. The existence of indicative tendencies, which are distinguished in the logic of European cultural creation of the historical period, is emphasized.

The article is devoted to the analysis of means of formation of information and communication systems taking into account inclusive design. The constant development of innovative project developments in this direction indicates a change in conceptual approaches to their design and the urgency of changing the paradigm of inclusive education, which takes into account accessibility and safety for all students without exception. The system approach allowed to establish connections between the ergonomic component of the formation of the design of information and communication systems, their functionality and aesthetic expressiveness. The method of abstraction helped separate from certain properties and relations of the object and at the same time focus on those properties that are the direct object of scientific research; the method of generalization contributed to the logical completion of abstraction; the method of classification allowed to determine the specific characteristics in solving the problems of the best examples of project activities with the possibility of their theoretical justification. The social significance and relevance of the chosen research topic lies in the analysis and identification of fundamentally new design solutions for the educational space of secondary schools, which have been implemented in foreign countries. Characteristic features of their solution are taking into account the principles of universal (inclusive) design based on the use of technological innovations, availability of spatial planning, design and artistic solutions, which significantly improve the implementation of information and communication systems. Functional comfort, in this case, is considered as a generalized criterion for optimizing the system "human-object or process-environment". In addition, the inclusive approach takes into account the comfortable and aesthetic conditions of students' adaptation to the new modern standards of education and testifies to its practical significance. It is a special synthesis of ergonomics and design in the educational environment, and also allows you to create new "scenarios" of educational activities of modern students. Analysis of aspects of the developed design model of an inclusive approach in solving information and communication systems will help initiate its implementation in the educational space of secondary schools of Ukraine.
