Ontognoseology of Plastic Value (M. Nesterov, A. Platonov, L. Leonov)

Abstract

The process of emergence of plastic value in art is considered in the article: the plastic value is not born as a result of copying reality, but it is generated by a spirit, which in life-like plastic images returns to itself. Plastic art values were created only by those Soviet artists who, like M. Nesterov and A. Platonov, found the true plot of the reality. On the contrary, an attempt to deceive the logic of reality destroyed images of art, despite their external credibility and plasticity (L. Leonov).
