Features of the modern art history of Kazakhstan. Interaction of painting and cinema

Abstract

This article examines the process of the impact of cinema on the modern visual art of Kazakhstan. The influence of cinematic methods on the choice of formal techniques and motifs of the painting is revealed. Modern masters are widely involved in the principles of montage, appeal to a variety fore- shortening. Characteristically, montage principles are always in demand during historical periods of rejection of old techniques and the search for other ways of reflecting time and space. So today, too, at a new stage, montage techniques allow us to go beyond the usual framework of genre painting and show modernity in an unconventional, dynamic way. The compositional combination of different fragments of the canvas is, like in cinema, subject only to the author’s idea. An important concept in historical painting is the phenomenon of nostalgia, which is equally significant in the cinema of the beginning of the XXI century. The transformation of the myth into a fantasy world, its approximation to the needs of the viewer, and the enhancement of the entertainment of the depicted phenomena led to the active use of the poetics of fantasy films by domestic artists. In the current situation, in the period of active search for a new visual language, in connection with the variety and complexity of the displayed phenomena of the surrounding reality, the painting of Kazakhstan once again turns to the achievements of cinema to show a complicated, symbolically rich picture of the world.

Key words: painting, film, montage, foreshortening, heritage, nostalgia, fantasy.
