Retrospectivism in Soviet Children’s Portraits of the Second Half of the 1960s — Early 1980s

The article examines a child’s portrait in the work of Soviet artists of the second half of the 1960s — early 1980s. At the moment, this type of genre has been little studied. The generation of artists — the “seventies” demonstrated unity in the way they saw, understood and presented the most important ideologic image of the Soviet system — the image of a child. The faces of boys and girls in portraits allowed them to escape from the insipid reality of stagnant years with the help of retrospective reflection of the past, or served as a conductor of the transcendent into everyday life. Representatives of the official wing preferred to delicately recreate the historical aura around the child and interpret his image through the prism of their favorite era, while the underground turned to religious themes, the language of which childhood images spoke in the past.
