ANIMALISTIC ART OF KOBAN CULTURE AND SCYTHIAN-SIBERIAN ANIMAL STYLE

The Koban animalistic art and the Scythian-Siberian animal style in many respects are based on culture of the Central European art of the pre-Scythian period, Middle East and Urartu art. In some cases, both directions use similar compositions (whirlwind forms and symmetric), the same animal images («the scraped predator», a winged predator, a deer, a ram, a goat, the head and a figure of the flying bird of prey, fish), and parts of animals (a boar canine teeth) who receive various art interpretation. In the Koban animal style there was an infiltration of images of the Scythian-Siberian animal style (figures of deer with the head turned back and the turned-in legs; animals with the turned-out back part of a trunk at an angle 180°; the predator which was curtailed in a ball), occurs registration of the Koban bronze trapezoid zone buckles Scythian motives). Also the return process of penetration of the Koban images into Scythian art is known (objects in the form of a bust of a bird of prey, «the scraped predator»). All this demonstrates difficult centuries-old interaction of two directions of animal art.

Carex buekii is a rare species, native to Europe and the Middle East, although its full geographical distribution is poorly known. Attention is paid to the global occurrence of C. buekii. Its situation and threat status is presented in relation to each country from which this species is known. Carex buekii forms four (rare) hybrids, each with other members within the section Phacocystis. Special attention is paid to the comparison of Carex buekii with the recently described Central European C. randalpina; the taxonomic problems of those two species are briefly discussed.

Анималистика в искусстве один из самых древних жанров. Его история начинается еще со времен палеолита и достигает своего расцвета лишь в XIX XX веках. Изображения животных всегда были неотъемлемой частью живописи, скульптуры, декоративно-прикладного искусства. Тем не менее исследований на тему анималистического жанра и его развития было сравнительно мало. Вопросы терминологии и границ жанра основополагающие для научного исследования анималистики, определяющие вектор ее дальнейшего рассмотрения, до сих пор не до конца раскрыты в искусствоведении. В данной статье уделяется внимание причинам снижения интереса к анималистике, поднимается проблема актуальности и важности этого направления. Проводится обзор различных жанров в контексте истории искусства. Сравнение различных интерпретаций образов зверей позволяет вывести наиболее точное определение жанра, понять его специфику и обозначить, какие произведения можно относить к анималистике. Данный теоретический очерк можно считать начальным этапом в систематизации особенностей анималистического жанра для дальнейшего его изучения. Animalistic Art is one of the most ancient genres. Its history dates back to Paleolithic era, and in XIX XX centuries it had the peak of the development. The depiction of animals has always been an essential part of painting, sculpture, decorative arts. Nevertheless, there animalistic genre and its evolution are relatively little studied. The problem of terminology and genre frames a sufficient part for scientific research of animal art, which gives the direction for further analysis. But it hasnt been taken as a subject among art historians yet. This article pays attention to the reasons of waning interest to animalistic art among specialists raises the problem of relevance and importance of this genre. The article provides a review of different genres in terms of the art history. The comparison of different interpretations of animal images provides an opportunity to make a precise definition of genre, to understand its specificity and distinguish animalistic art-objects among others. This theoretic essay can be considered as the first step for future studies.

It is my impression that Kurdish people often think of the lives, mores and life-worlds in Europe and the Middle East in terms of a dichotomy, or even as complete opposites. In my letter, I would like to draw readers’ attention to historical parallels, links and commonalities between medieval Kurdish worlds and those in medieval and early Modern Central Europe, especially in the case of Hungary.
