‘SIGNS OF REqUIEM’: INTERPRETATION OF ICONOGRAPHIC FORMULAE IN PAINTINGS BY SOLOMON GERSHOV (1906–1989)

Abstract

The article is concerned with works by Leningrad painter Solomon Moiseevich Gershov (1906–1989) and Requiem as a recurring theme of his late period. A number of Gershov's artworks of 1960-s — 1980-s are considered as a subjective interpretation of the Passion of Christ iconography. On the basis of established iconographic templates the artist developed his own enduring visual formulae, which in the article are conventionally called “Requiem signs”.
