Image of happiness: as a Semantic Code of National Culture (on the material of yakut graphic arts of the 1970 years.)

摘要

Since 70-s there is continuous search for landmarks among Yakut artists going for out of the limits of customary reality. The myth and folklore, penetrated by deep symbolism, have served them as a new system of aesthetic coordinates for understanding life and world. The interest to the remote past, to treasures of national culture have contributed to the fact that the artists seem to have rediscovered for themselves the beauty of a real world and artistic means of its implementation, poetic richness of their emotional perception. The methods of aesthetic generalization, found by Yakut artisans, were perceived by many Yakut artists as a starting point for own search in this direction.
