Abstract

The problem of the “national style” that existed in Russia since the times of Peter the Great has undergone many modifi cations in the course of time. This issue became particularly acute in the latter half of the 19th century when the origins of the “Russian” in domestic architecture were found either in Byzantine and Old Russian architecture, or in the architecture of the 17th century, or in the architecture of the Russian North. Attention to the latter tradition emerged at the very end of the century and was linked to the birth of the “Neo-Russian” style. Interestingly, its manifestation took place in Paris exhibition of 1900 in the form of the Division of Russian Crafts, which was erected by members of Abramtsevo circle and represented a number of interlinked wooden structures. This article analyses these structures and identifi es the ways of their emergence in Paris exhibition; this analysis requires a detailed discussion of trends in the Russian art of the turn of the 19th century. Special attention is paid to the work of Abramtsevo circle, in the artistic milieu of which the “Neo-Russian” style originated. The article also discusses the work of Abramtsevo artists in the fi eld of scenography, as the artistic solutions they found when working on theatrical scenery was to aff ect their future architectural projects.
