Abstract

The article considers the work of the contemporary painter Vyacheslav Sergeyevich Torbokov, who keeps the realistic line in the Altai art, at the origins of which stood Grigory Ivanovich Gurkin (1870-1937). The fine arts of Altai are really important, because they considerably determine the direction of the region’s artistic culture. The article presents the periodization of V.S. Torbokov’s works. The author observes major areas of the artist’s activity (landscapes, still lives, portraits), his themes (landscape series, portraits of artists, etc.), his ideas (two kinds of time: the cyclical time of human life and nature, eternity; the origins of creativity: self-expression and adherence to tradition; people and nature). It is noted that in the works of V.S. Torbokov the national ideal of beauty (natural and human) is embodied most completely.
