| Popis | In this talk I did present, in the first instance, the way Armenian art (and more generally that of the Caucasus), were perceived in the late nineteenth century and the early years of Soviet power. In a second moment, I focused on the historiographical reflection produced by scholars during the 1940s, that is, a pivotal juncture not only in Soviet history, since it coincided with what is still referred to today as the Great Patriotic War - a total war in which many of the certainties of the communist state were overturned. The question at crucial to this paper was therefore about the impact this period had on the way Armenian art was conceived in the Soviet union. The last part of this paper was devoted to the years immediately following the war conflict to better understand how the ideas authorized during the crisis period were absorbed by the regime once the war ended. |
