CLASSICISM (from the Latin classicus - exemplary), a style and direction in literature and art of the 17th - early 19th centuries, which turned to the ancient heritage as the norm and ideal model. Formed in the 17th century. in France. He strove to embody ideas about the rational laws of the world, about beautiful ennobled nature, and lofty heroic and moral ideals. The founder of classicism in musical theater was J.B. Lully (the creator of lyrical tragedy), features of classicism and baroque are combined in the genre of opera seria. The work of Voltaire, G.E. is associated with the enlightenment of classicism. Lessinga, I.V. Goethe and F. Schiller (1780 - 90s); in music - operas by K.V. Gluck; The art of the Viennese classical school became the pinnacle stage in the development of musical classicism. In Russia, classicism (which emerged in the last quarter of the 18th century) is represented by the poetry of M.V. Lomonosov, G.R. Derzhavin, satyrs by A.D. Kantemir, tragedies of A.P. Sumarokov and Ya.B. Princess; in Russian musical culture (in combination with other artistic movements) - the works of M.S. Berezovsky, D.S. Bortnyansky, E.I. Fomina and others. The normative aesthetics of classicism (a set of “rules” of poetics is given in N. Boileau’s “Poetic Art”) prescribed a strict hierarchy of genres (“high” - tragedy, epic, ode, historical, mythological, religious painting, and “low” - comedy, satire, fable, genre painting), unity of time, place and action (in drama), linguistic purism. Such great people as F. J. Haydn, W. A. ​​Mozart, Ludwig van Beethoven created in this era.

Such great people as F. J. Haydn, W. A. ​​Mozart, Ludwig van Beethoven created in this era. Classicism in Russian literature CLASSICISM is one of the most important trends in the art of the past, an artistic style based on normative aesthetics, requiring strict adherence to a number of rules, canons, and unities. The rules of classicism are of paramount importance as means to ensure the main goal of enlightening and instructing the public, turning them to sublime examples. The aesthetics of classicism reflected the desire to idealize reality, due to the refusal to depict a complex and multifaceted reality. Classicism establishes a strict hierarchy of genres, which are divided into high (ode, tragedy, epic) and low (comedy, satire, fable). Each genre has strictly defined characteristics, the mixing of which is not allowed. The most important standards of classicism—the unity of action, place and time—follow from those substantive premises discussed above. In order to more accurately convey the idea to the viewer and inspire selfless feelings, the author should not have complicated anything. The main intrigue should be simple enough so as not to confuse the viewer and not deprive the picture of its integrity. The requirement for unity of time was closely linked to unity of action, and many different events did not occur in the tragedy. The unity of place has also been interpreted in different ways. This could be the space of one palace, one room, one city, and even the distance that the hero could cover within twenty-four hours. Particularly bold reformers decided to stretch the action for thirty hours. The tragedy must have five acts and be written in Alexandrian verse (iamb hexameter). The visible excites more than the story, But what the ear can tolerate, sometimes the eye cannot tolerate. (N. Boileau) The pinnacle of Russian classicism is the work of D.I. Fonvizin (“The Brigadier”, “The Minor”), the creator of a truly original national comedy, who laid the foundations of critical realism within this system. Classicism in Russia developed under the great influence of the Enlightenment, the ideas of equality and justice have always been the focus of attention of Russian classic writers. Therefore, in Russian classicism, genres that require the author’s obligatory assessment of historical reality have received great development: comedy (D. I. Fonvizin), satire (A. D. Kantemir), fable (A. P. Sumarokov, I. I. Khemnitser), ode (Lomonosov, G. R. Derzhavin). In connection with Rousseau’s proclaimed call for closeness to nature and naturalness, crisis phenomena were growing in classicism at the end of the 18th century; The absolutization of reason is replaced by the cult of tender feelings, sentimentalism. The transition from classicism to pre-romanticism was most clearly reflected in German literature of the era of Sturm und Drang, represented by the names of J. V. Goethe (1749-1832) and F. Schiller (1759-1805), who, following Rousseau, saw art as the main force for educating a person. D. I. Fonvizin G. R. Derzhavin

Classicism in music

Classicism in music Music of the period of classicism, or music of classicism, refers to the period in the development of European music approximately between 1730 and 1820. The concept of classicism in music is firmly associated with the work of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven, called the Viennese classics and who determined the direction of further development of musical composition. The concept of "music of classicism" should not be confused with the concept of "classical music", which has a more general meaning as the music of the past that has stood the test of time. The aesthetics of classicism was based on the belief in the rationality and harmony of the world order, which was manifested in attention to the balance of parts of the work, careful finishing of details, and the development of the basic canons of musical form. It was during this period that the sonata form was finally formed, based on the development and opposition of two contrasting themes, and the classical composition of the sonata and symphony movements was determined. During the period of classicism, a string quartet consisting of two violins, a viola and a cello appeared, and the composition of the orchestra expanded significantly. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Haydn's art had a tremendous impact on the formation of Mozart's symphonic and chamber style. Based on his achievements in the field of sonata-symphonic music, Mozart introduced many new, interesting, and original things. The entire history of art does not know a more striking personality than him. Mozart had a phenomenal memory and hearing, had brilliant skills as an improviser, played the violin and organ beautifully, and no one could challenge his primacy as a harpsichordist. He was the most popular, the most recognized, the most beloved musician in Vienna. His operas are of great artistic value. For two centuries now, The Marriage of Figaro and Don Giovanni have enjoyed success, striking with their charmingly elegant melody, simplicity, and luxurious harmony. And “The Magic Flute” went down in the history of music as Mozart’s “swan song”, as a work that most fully and vividly reveals his worldview, his cherished thoughts, as an epilogue to his whole life, as a kind of grandiose artistic testament. Mozart's art is perfect in skill and absolutely natural. He gave us wisdom, joy, light and goodness. Ludwig van Beethoven Beethoven became famous as the greatest symphonist. His art is permeated with the pathos of struggle. It implemented the advanced ideas of the Enlightenment, which established the rights and dignity of the human person. He owned nine symphonies, a number of symphonic overtures (Egmont, Coriolanus), and thirty-two piano sonatas formed an era in piano music. The world of Beethoven's images is diverse. His hero is not only brave and passionate, he is endowed with a finely developed intellect. He is a fighter and a thinker. In Beethoven's music, life in all its diversity - violent passions and detached daydreaming, dramatic pathos and lyrical confession, pictures of nature and scenes of everyday life. Completing the era of classicism, Beethoven simultaneously opened the way for the coming century. Joseph Haydn Haydn is called the founder of classical instrumental music, the founder of the modern symphony orchestra and the father of the symphony. He established the laws of the classical symphony: he gave it a harmonious, complete look, determined the order of their arrangement, which has been preserved in its main features to this day. The classical symphony has a four-digit cycle. The first part goes at a fast pace and most often sounds energetic and excited. The second part is slow. Her music conveys the lyrical mood of a person. The third movement – ​​minuet – is one of the favorite dances of Haydn’s era. The fourth part is the finale. This is the result of the entire cycle, a conclusion from everything that was shown, thought out, felt in the previous parts. The music of the finale is usually directed upward; it is life-affirming, solemn, and victorious. In the classical symphony an ideal form has been found that can contain very deep content. In Haydn's work, the type of classical three-movement sonata is also established. The composer's works are characterized by beauty, order, subtle and noble simplicity. His music is very bright, light, mostly in major key, full of cheerfulness, wonderful earthly joy and inexhaustible humor. Classicism in Classicism in painting Classicism in European painting Classicism is an artistic style in European art of the 17th–early 19th centuries, one of the most important features of which was the appeal to the forms of ancient art as an ideal aesthetic and ethical standard. Classicism, which developed in intensely polemical interaction with the Baroque, formed into an integral stylistic system in the French artistic culture of the 17th century. The principles of rationalistic philosophy underlying classicism determined the view of theorists and practitioners of the classical style on a work of art as the fruit of reason and logic, triumphing over the chaos and fluidity of sensory life. Orientation towards a rational principle, towards enduring patterns determined the firm normativity of ethical requirements (subordination of the personal to the general, passions - reason, duty, the laws of the universe) and the aesthetic demands of classicism, the regulation of artistic rules; The consolidation of the theoretical doctrines of classicism was facilitated by the activities of the Royal Academies founded in Paris - painting and sculpture (1648) and architecture (1671). Greuze Jean Baptiste Greuze Jean Baptiste (1725–1805), French painter. Born August 21, 1725 in Tournus, Burgundy. Between 1745 and 1750 he studied in Lyon with C. Grandon, then at the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture in Paris. In 1755–1756 he visited Italy. The head of the sentimental-moralizing trend in French painting in the second half of the 18th century, Greuze shared the opinion of the enlighteners about art as an active means of educating morals. In his genre paintings (“The Paralytic, or the Fruits of a Good Education,” 1763, State Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg), Greuze glorified the virtues of the third estate, which initially aroused the energetic support of the philosopher Diderot. The works of the artist Jean Baptiste Greuze are characterized by a combination of sensitivity with exaggerated pathos, idealization of nature, and sometimes quite a well-known sweetness (especially in the numerous images of children's and women's heads). "White Hat" 1780, Boston Museum of Art “Vow of Fidelity to Eros” 1767, Wallace Collection London David Jacques-Louis David Jacques-Louis, French painter. Born on August 30, 1748 in Paris. From 1766 to 1774 he studied at the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture with the historical painter Joseph-Marie Vien, and in 1775–1780 he studied ancient art in Rome. In the 1780–1790s, Jacques Louis David became the founder and recognized leader of the so-called revolutionary classicism - a movement in French art of the late 18th century, which adopted the cult of reason and natural feeling from the rationalist educational philosophy of the 18th century, putting forward a new type of artist-fighter, designed to educate the viewer has high moral qualities and civic virtues. "Belisarius" 1781 Museum of Fine Arts, Lille “Oath of the Horatii” 1784 Louvre Museum, Paris Canaletto Antonio Canaletto Giovanni Antonio (1697-1768). Italian painter of the Classical era and etcher. Actually, the real name is Canal. Born October 28, 1697. He studied with his father, theater artist Bernardo Canal. He worked mainly in Venice, but also in Rome (1719-1720 and around 1740) and London (1745-1755). A master of the architectural veduta landscape, Canaletto painted panoramic views of Venice and other cities, filling them with colorful images of city life. Canaletto's vedutas were valued on a par with the works of the recognized master of this genre, Karlevaris. But the painter Canaletto, unlike Karlevaris, magically filled his works with colorful vibrant life and amazing light. The documentary accuracy of the drawing and the perfection of perspective construction are combined in his works with the elegance and freshness of the color scheme, light-air effects, and the elegant spectacle of the compositional solution (“The Stonemason’s Court,” circa 1730, National Gallery, London; “The Departure of the Venetian Doge for Betrothal to the Adriatic Sea,” 1740s, State Museum of Fine Arts, Moscow; “Portic of the Palace”, 1765, Academy Gallery, Venice; “Old Walton Bridge”, 1754). Canaletto’s landscape etchings (“Veduta”) are marked by subtle observation and ease of light and shadow gradations.

It arose during the strengthening of absolutism and was supposed to serve its strengthening and glorification. Mature educational classicism was established in Russia in the second half of the 18th century. At this time, historical painting and ceremonial portraits occupied one of the leading places. A large series of portraits was created by the largest painter of the second half of the 18th century, Dmitry Grigorievich Levitsky. He was a wonderful colorist. His portraits are always subtly harmonized in color, and the artist often resorts to very intense tones (juicy crimson velvet, white satin, blue moiré), collected in a single color scheme. Dmitry Levitsky Ukrainian by origin. Along with F. S. Rokotov and V. L. Borovikovsky, he is one of the largest Russian portrait painters of the 18th century. The father of the future master, Grigory Kirillovich Nos (who changed his surname to “Levitsky”), is a priest of the village of Mayachka (Poltava region of Ukraine) and one of the outstanding engravers of the Ukrainian Baroque [his illustrations for the “Apostle” and “Gospel” (both editions - 1737) and others are known religious and secular compositions, including engraved portraits] - was also the first teacher of Dmitry’s son. Arriving in St. Petersburg around 1758, Levitsky Jr. studied with A.P. Antropov. In his youth he painted icons; in 1762, as an apprentice under Antropov, he participated in the decorative and pictorial decoration of Moscow on the occasion of the coronation of Catherine II. Portrait of Suvorov Portrait of the architect A.F. Kokorinov Portrait of E. I. Nelidova (pupil of the Empress of the Educational Society for Noble Maidens) Aivazovsky Ivan Aivazovsky Ivan Konstantinovich (Ivan Aivazovsky), 1817–1900, Russian artist. Born in Feodosia on July 17 (29), 1817 in the family of an Armenian businessman. He studied at the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts under M.N. Vorobyov (1833–1839). He worked in Crimea, Italy, and also visited France, England and a number of other countries. He loved to travel, but from 1845 he worked mainly in his hometown. Experienced the special influence of the French Marina of classicism. By getting rid of too sharp contrasts of classicist composition, Aivazovsky eventually achieves genuine pictorial freedom. Bravno - the catastrophic “The Ninth Wave” (1850, Russian Museum, St. Petersburg), where the impression of a “boundless” sea space is achieved, can serve as the result of his early period. In his most textbook and rightfully especially popular paintings (such as “The Black Sea”, 1881, etc.), Aivazovsky, like no one else, was able to show the living, permeated with light, ever-moving water element. A painter of the Main Naval Staff (since 1844), Aivazovsky took part in a number of military campaigns (including the Crimean War of 1853–1856), creating many pathetic battle paintings (Chesme Battle, 1848, Feodosia Art Gallery). Although he painted many “purely earthly” landscapes, among which Ukrainian and Caucasian views stand out, it is the sea that usually appears in his works as the universal basis of nature and history, especially in scenes with the creation of the world and the flood. “Portrait of the artist’s wife Anna Burnazyan” 1882 "Ice Mountains" 1870 "The Ninth Wave" 1850 Bogaevsky Konstantin Bogaevsky Konstantin Fedorovich (12.1.1872, Feodosia, - 17.2.1943, ibid.), - Russian landscape artist, painter and graphic artist, creator of the original epic-romantic style of landscape in the eastern part of Crimea - Cimmeria. In 1890, Bogaevsky entered the Academy of Arts, where he worked in the workshop of Arkhip Kuindzhi. In the spring of 1898, Bogaevsky traveled to Italy, where he became acquainted with the paintings of Claude Lorrain, who became his another teacher. And during his second visit to Italy in 1909, he was influenced by Andrea Montegni and Nicolas Poussin.

This direction is characterized by rationalism, normativity, a tendency towards harmony, clarity and simplicity of expression, balance of composition and at the same time a certain amount of schematization and idealization in works of art, which was expressed, for example, in the hierarchy of “high” and “low” styles in literature , the requirement of “three unities” - time, place and action - in drama, emphasized purism in the field of language, etc. Under the influence of the rationalistic philosophy of the great French thinker Rene Descartes, the principles of classicism are established in all types of art. The main aesthetic postulate of classicism is fidelity to nature, the natural rationality of the world with its objectively inherent beauty, which is expressed in symmetry, proportion, measure, harmony, which must be recreated in art in perfect form. By the middle of the 19th century. classicism, lagging behind the development of public aesthetic feeling, degenerated into lifeless academicism.

Classicism

An artistic style in European art of the seventeenth - early nineteenth centuries, one of the most important features of which was the appeal to the forms of ancient art as an ideal aesthetic and ethical standard. The principles of rationalistic philosophy underlying classicism determined the view of theorists and practitioners of the classical style on a work of art as the fruit of reason and logic, triumphing over the chaos and fluidity of sensory life.

In architecture, classicism is understood as an architectural style common in Europe in the 18th - early 19th centuries, the main feature of which was an appeal to the forms of ancient architecture as a standard of harmony, simplicity, rigor, logical clarity, monumentality and reasonableness of filling space. The architecture of classicism as a whole is characterized by regularity of layout and clarity of volumetric form. The basis of the architectural language of classicism was the order, in proportions and forms close to antiquity, symmetrical axial compositions, restraint of decorative decoration, and a regular system of city planning.

The impetus for the development of classicist sculpture in the mid-18th century was the writings of Winckelmann and archaeological excavations of ancient cities, which expanded the knowledge of contemporaries about ancient sculpture. In France, such sculptors as Pigalle and Houdon vacillated on the verge of Baroque and Classicism. Classicism reached its highest embodiment in the field of plastic art in the heroic and idyllic works of Antonio Canova, who drew inspiration mainly from the statues of the Hellenistic era (Praxiteles). In Russia, Fedot Shubin, Mikhail Kozlovsky, Boris Orlovsky, and Ivan Martos gravitated towards the aesthetics of classicism.

This picturesque movement became the absolute opposite of Baroque. It is conditioned by harmony and awareness. The main feature of the style is the ancient norms of beauty and the desire for the ideal inherent in the Renaissance.

During the reign of classicism, a specific hierarchy of genres was formed. High genres of painting correspond to historical, religious and mythological. The Low genre includes portrait, still life and landscape. They are classified as a household genre and are less significant.
