The article examines the statements about collecting graphics contained in the letters of art historians and artists of the 1920s and 1930s. These sources rarely come to the attention of scientists, many of them have not yet been published. However, they contain extremely interesting information about the artistic life of those years, including how the collections of famous connoisseurs and researchers of graphics were formed, what principles guided the collectors, what materials they preferred. The purpose of the work is to identify the range of issues that were especially often raised in the correspondence of art historians and graphic artists, to clarify their positions on the key problems of collecting. The epistolary heritage of P. Ettinger, E. Gollerbach, A. Sidorov, V. Voinov and their correspondents is analyzed using a complex of source studies, art studies, and comparative-historical methods. The author comes to the following conclusions: private collections of graphics played an important role in the culture of the 1920s and 1930s; the creation of these collections was a natural continuation of the scientific work of the owners. Art historians-collectors sought to acquire works that were not in the museum collections, it was important for them to draw the attention of colleagues to small forms of applied graphics, to the work of the best modern masters of engraving. В статье рассматриваются высказывания о коллекционировании графики, содержащиеся в письмах искусствоведов и художников 1920–1930-х гг. Эти источники нечасто попадают в поле зрения ученых, многие из них до сих пор не опубликованы. Однако в них имеются исключительно интересные сведения о художественной жизни тех лет, в том числе о том, как формировались коллекции известных знатоков и исследователей графики, какими принципами руководствовались собиратели, каким материалам они отдавали предпочтение. Цель работы — выявление круга вопросов, особенно часто поднимавшихся в переписке искусствоведов и графиков, уяснение их позиций по ключевым проблемам коллекционирования. Эпистолярное наследие П.Д. Эттингера, Э.Ф. Голлербаха, А.А. Сидорова, В.В. Воинова и их корреспондентов анализируется с помощью комплекса источниковедческих, искусствоведческих, сравнительно-исторических методов. Автор приходит к следующим выводам: частные собрания графики сыграли важную роль в культуре 1920–1930-х гг.; создание этих коллекций было естественным продолжением научной работы владельцев. Искусствоведы-собиратели стремились приобретать произведения, отсутствующие в музейных фондах, им важно было привлечь внимание коллег к малым формам прикладной графики, к творчеству лучших современных мастеров гравюры.

The article is devoted to the attribution of the original graphics of the 20th century from private collections in the collection of the Irkutsk Regional Art Museum named after V.P. Sukachev. The stages of studying a particular work of art are described in detail. Attention is paid to the research of recent years, which allows us to talk about the ongoing work with objects from museum collections. As a result of the study, based on the source studies and comparative stylistic methods, it was possible to clarify the attribution of a number of illustrations to literary works, small-format watercolors and some drawings. Such works include, for example, the works of N.V. Kuzmin, T.A. Mavrina; K.S. Petrov-Vodkin, described in the article. Статья посвящена атрибуции оригинальной графики XX века из частных коллекций в собрании Иркутского областного художественного музея им. В. П. Сукачёва. Подробно расписаны этапы изучения того или иного произведения искусства. Уделено внимание исследованиям последних лет, позволяющим говорить о непрекращающейся работе с предметами из музейных коллекций. В результате исследования с опорой на источниковедческий и сравнительно-стилистический методы удалось уточнить атрибуцию ряда иллюстраций к литературным произведениям, небольших по формату акварелей и входящих в серии рисунков. К числу таких произведений относятся, например, работы Н.В. Кузьмина, Т.А. Мавриной, К.С. Петрова-Водкина, описанные в статье.

The features of attribution work with the items from the private collection for the exhibition of the old Japanese sculpture “Netsuke. The private collection” in Primorye State Art Gallery have been considered in the paper. The items from private collections usually are excluded from a scientific circulation but they often are of a great scientific interest for art historians and museum researchers. The author aims to include into a scientific circulation several items of miniature sculpture netsuke which would be of an art history interest and which have never been exhibited before. The process of the items attribution, plot and stylistic features specification has been described on a basis of the expert opinion, comparative analysis with the items from the sufficient museum collections. The author comes to a conclusion that the plots and iconography of some items are rather rare and their description would make a contribution to the Japanese miniature sculpture research. В статье рассматриваются особенности атрибуционной работы с предметами из частной коллекции для выставки старинной японской миниатюрной скульптуры «Нэцкэ. Частная коллекция» в Приморской государственной картинной галерее. Произведения из частных коллекций, как правило, исключены из научного оборота, однако часто представляют большой научный интерес для искусствоведов и музейных работников. Автор ставит своей целью ввести в научный оборот несколько произведений миниатюрной скульптуры нэцкэ, представляющих искусствоведческий интерес и ранее никогда не экспонировавшихся. Описывается процесс атрибуции произведений, определения сюжета, стилистики на основе экспертного мнения, сравнительного анализа с предметами из крупных музейных коллекций. Автор приходит к выводу, что сюжеты и иконография некоторых предметов весьма редки, и их описание внесет определенный вклад в изучение японской миниатюрной скульптуры.

Slovenian Štefka Cobelj (1923–1989) saw her work of an art historian and ethnologist as a calling, and dedicated her life entirely to it. She specialized in Baroque and Yugoslavian and international contemporary art, but was most passionate about world ethnology. As the director of the Ptuj museum in Slovenia, and later a museum consultant in Mogadishu in Somalia, she was involved in the creation of ethnology collections of national importance. On her numerous travels for both business and pleasure, she compiled a large personal collection of cultural, historical, and ethnological items. This article describes her contribution to the creation of collections in Ptuj and Mogadishu, and her personal heritage, which was bequeathed to the following Slovenian institutions: Celje Regional Museum, Maribor Art Gallery, Maribor Regional Museum, Ivan Potrč Library Ptuj, and Ptuj-Ormož Regional Museum.

Introduction: the article deals with the methodological problem of the meaning of the goal of civil law research. The author analyzes the dissertation abstracts from the point of view of goal setting, which were completed in different periods of the development of Russian civil law science, identifies the qualitative characteristics of the stages, and proves the connection of the achieved results with the researcher’s knowledge of the methodological methods of goal setting. Purpose: to show the value of goal setting in scientific research in general and in civil research in particular; to consider the relationship of goal setting with the achievement of specific scientific results on the examples of dissertations defended in the specialty 12.00.03; to justify the need to set as goals the fundamental problems associated with the identification of patterns of development of relations that are part of the subject of civil law regulation and the creation of effective mechanisms that mediate them. Methods: system-structural, system-functional, generalization, abstraction, analogy, logical, statistical, classification, legal modeling, comparative legal, forecasting, formal legal, historical. Results: civil methodology should take into account the importance of the goal in the organization of scientific work. Only a competent possession of goal setting skills can ultimately ensure the creation of scientifically-based mechanisms for effective impact of civil law norms on regulated social relations. Conclusions: 1) any science, including the science of civil law, is not only designed to study and describe existing problems, including legislative, doctrinal, and law enforcement. Research, in order to meet the criterion of scientific character, must attempt to identify the laws of development, both regulated relations and mechanisms that mediate them; 2) the significance of the goal in the development of science has been proven by outstanding philosophers. In addition, the very definition of science indicates that goal setting is one of its essential characteristics; 3) the analysis of the author’s abstracts of leading Russian tsivilists showed how the skilful setting of research goals helped to achieve them consistently, as well as to create a high-quality categorical apparatus of civil law science; 4) the analysis of modern dissertations showed that not all young researchers see the value of goal-setting and this methodological disadvantage is important for the author to eliminate.

Abstract Introduction. The objective of this paper was to provide an overview of the life and work of a Polish artist and painter, August Rozental, who lived and worked in Bulgaria in the late 19th and early 20th century and is completely unknown in Poland. Documentation of his work may be of interest to both art historians and Polish travel agencies, the latter for marketing purposes. Material and methods. In searching for reliable information, the focus remained on historical, icono-graphic and epigraphic sources. Archival and museum collections were consulted, as were academic libraries, periodicals and internet sites (Polish, Bulgarian, Serbian and Russian). The information thus obtained was verified on the basis of three interviews with museology specialists. Results. The information was presented in terms of a description of the location and marketing product, to address the needs of cultural tourism. Consequently, the descriptions focus primarily on the artist's surviving works and their locations in monasteries in and around Sofia. Along the way, interesting information was discovered regarding the accomplishments of his brother Juliusz, a poet, and their father August, a doctor who years earlier was exiled to Siberia along with his family. Original, newly discovered documents containing personal information about August Rozental (the painter) are also presented. Conclusion. The research confirms his Polish origins and documents the current locations of his most interesting works of art. This makes them easily accessible to both specialists and tourists interested in the subject.

The article deals with the relationship between the local community, museum collections, collective memory and the cultural landscape. The ICOM Code of Museum Ethics defines a museum collection as a cultural and natural heritage of the communities from which they have been derived. The collections, especially in regional museums, are inextricably linked to the community. The cultural landscape can be read also as a bridge between the society and natural environment. The cultural landscape is vitally connected with a national, regional, local, ethnic, religious or political identity. Furthermore, the cultural landscape is a reflection of the community's activities. Therefore, private collections are the foundation of the collective memory and empower museums for important social tasks. They offer an opportunity for multilayered interpretation of the past and give a possibility for museums to work on the inclusion of vulnerable groups. The collections could be a mediator and unique tool for recovering of the “broken” memory. In this way certain tragic past events, ignored or only bigotedly mentioned by history, can be re-evaluated.

The Creation

New idea bearers during the first two decades after the Liberation became foreign artists among whom are standing out the names of Ivan Mrkvička, Yaroslav Veshin and Boris Schatz – who binded a decade of his life with Bulgaria. And this life is filled with difficulties, unexpected twists and noble ambitions. The remarkable personality of Boris Schatz as a talented sculptor, organizer and pedagogue stands out in the context of the artistic life of his time, where no major cultural event occurs without his energetic interference. It is his efforts to promote modeling as one of the most important disciplines of the artistic education that leads to the creation of the Sculpture specialty at the National Academy of Art. When Schatz dies in 1932, the Bulgarian art has already passed a long way of development, of change of ideas and conflicts between trends and generations. The academism of the “realistic school”, which has earned the artist`s particiality, has long ago been rejected, but his personality remains among the most prominent representatives of the new Bulgarian sculpture.

The paper which I lay before the Society is an attempt to treat with sufficient osteological detail an extinct family of Ungulates which had an immense range of distribution and a great variety of forms in the two periods of the earth’s history which preceded our own. The fate this family has met with at the hands of palæontologists is a somewhat sad one, presenting a warning example of the unscientific method that was paramount in the palæontology of the Mammalia after the time of Cuvier. With the exception of England, where here the study of fossil Mammalia was founded on a sound basis, and some glorious exceptions on the continent, we have very few good palæontological memoirs in which the osteology of extinct mammals has been treated with sufficient detail and discrimination; and things have come to such a pass, that we know far better the osteology of South American, Australian, and Asiatic genera of fossil mammals than of those found in Europe. Nearly all fossil Mammalia which have been described in detail belong to genera that still exist on our globe, or whose differences from fossil forms are trifling. After the splendid osteological investigations of Cuvier had revealed to science a glimpse of a new mammalian world of wonderful richness, his successors have been bent rather on multiplying the diversity of this extinct creation, than on diligently studying the organization of the fossil forms that successively turned up under the zeal of amateurs and collectors. From the year 1828, and even before, when Laizer, Pomel, Croiset, and others began to give short notices on the Mammalia of Auvergne, mammalian genera and species from this locality have been multiplied at a prodigious rate, every private collector giving his own generic and specific names, with no better description than stating the real or supposed number of teeth, and some phrases as to the general resemblances of the fossil in question. Others substituted in their short notices other names, while the scientific work of description did not proceed further than the mere counting of the number of teeth. This process has given rise to such an utter confusion in the palæontology of the extinct Paridigitata, that even now (forty years after the date of the earliest notices) we are utterly ignorant of the true extent and organization of the Miocene mammalian fauna of Auvergne, for instance—though materials for a detailed study of the subject abound in all great public, and many private, collections, the fossils being very common. No palæontologist, even of the highest standing, could boast of knowing, in our own time what Dremotherium, Dorcatherium, Elaphotherium, Gelocus , and so on really are, what are the bones belonging to each set of teeth (as the names were mostly given to these last), whether they had horns or were hornless like the Tragulidæ , and so on. If we add that German authors described the genera of Paridigitates which were found and named in France under different names (as Palæomeryx , Microtherium , Hyotherium , and so on), when they came from German localities, the confusion may be guessed. Having no good descriptions and no figures of the genera noticed in France, the German authors almost necessarily fell into the mistake of renaming what was already named. Once named, the genus was allowed to go forth with the short and wholly insufficient characteristics given to it by the first describer, the impossibility of adding one’s name after the generic or specific designation seeming to take all interest from it. And this, moreover, is the best case; for frequently the same form was described by an other palæontologist under a different generic name, or, if this was Utterly impossible, a new species was made of it, founded on some difference in size or other trifling character. Happily, however, a reaction began to set in, one of the first to head it on the Continent being Rütimeyer, who did not confine his study merely to the teeth of fossil Mammalia, but aimed with brilliant success at a complete investigation of the osteology of the extinct genera and of their affinities with the living ones. Gaudry’s work on the fossils of Pikermi (the best palæontological work that has appeared in France since Cuvier’s 'Ossemens Fossiles’), Fraas’s 'Fauna von Steinheim,’ Alphonse Milne-Edwards’s 'Oiseaux Fossiles,’ and many others may be cited as examples to prove that the new tendency has fairly set in and will bear good fruit. The wide acceptance by thinking naturalists of Darwin’s theory has given a new life to palæontological research; the investigation of fossil forms has been elevated from a merely inquisitive study of what were deemed to be arbitrary acts of creation to a deep scientific investigation of forms allied naturally and in direct connexion with those now peopling the globe, and the knowledge of which will remain imperfect and incomplete without a thorough knowledge of all the forms that have preceded them in the past history of our globe.
