Abstract: In this article, archaeological finds made of white stone (limestone) are considered as a special group of museum items. The subject of the study is the methods of exposure and methodological approaches to the preservation of monuments of this group, which are investigated by methods of problematization, comparative typological and system analysis. The article consistently examines the prerequisites for collecting stone sculpture, presents the main museum collections on the territory of the Russian Federation, which have impressive lapidary collections, reviews the bibliography devoted to the study of ancient stone sculpture and medieval monuments, and analyzes the methods of exhibiting and preserving objects of this group. В В  As a result of the undertaken analysis, it was possible to identify the main exposition practices. So lapidary monuments are exhibited both indoors and outdoors. The latter method probably goes back to the tradition of using sculpture as a decorative element, however, in the case of museum items, it requires considerable effort to ensure proper preservation. Stone monuments are successfully included in thematic and systematic expositions, while the most fully informative potential of these objects can be revealed by presenting them in a specially created lapidarium space. From the point of view of ensuring the preservation of limestones of archaeological origin, weak methodological provision and the lack of a unified approach to the choice of conservation measures are revealed.

Abstract: The subject of this research is animation technologies in modern visual culture, their role and importance in web design and development trends. The purpose of the study is to determine the role of animation in modern visual culture, in general, and in web design, in particular. The main tasks include, firstly, the analysis of trends in the development of the sphere of animation used in web design; secondly, the identification of key characteristics of web animation and the classification of the main animation forms; thirdly, the analysis of the technological aspect of the development of web animation with specific examples of tools that implement this or that a different technology. In the course of the study, both general logical research methods (analysis and synthesis, deduction and induction, generalization) and methods of systematization of scientific knowledge – typologization and classification were used. The novelty of the research lies in rethinking the importance of animation technologies in modern visual culture. As a result of the research, the specific features of web animation, its role in modern web design, the main areas of application, forms, methods and techniques were highlighted. The technological aspect of web animation creation was also analyzed, the classification of modern web technologies that allow solving various tasks facing web animation was presented.

Abstract: The article presents a comment and reflections on the recently published book by the famous Russian cultural critic Ekaterina Nikolaevna Shapinskaya. Her fate was very unusual: having been educated in the USSR, she lived in India, where she mastered the traditional genre of Indian dance and achieved considerable success in this field, then returned to Russia, where, on the one hand, she introduced the audience to Indian dances, and on the other hand, gradually, having spent a lot of work, she moved from the sphere of art to philosophy and science (defended her dissertations, published scientific articles and books, became a professor, lectured at the university). В В  The author, relying on the text of the published book, analyzes not only this life path, but also Shapinskaya's views on life and love, showing that they were largely conditioned by the family, the social reality of the end of the last century, the vicissitudes of life itself. At the same time, the author breeds sublime love-passion, with which romantic love often begins, and calm kindred love in the family. The features of the sociality of the modern world, which are more or less manifested in the actions of the heroine of the book, are discussed: duality, conventionality of what is happening, the distribution of reality. The book "Time and Fate. The Stories of My Life" is also interesting because it presents a different model of life, different from the model we are used to, where a person uniquely defines his life, clearly feels the social reality, understands what needs to be done.

Abstract: The article introduces a new interpretation of the concept of metaphor. The author examines the traditional concept of metaphor, which comes from Aristotle, the semiotic concept, which introduces metaphorical meaning along with the usual one, and the rather complex construction of metaphor proposed by K.I. Alekseev in the "Sketch of the Theory of Metaphor" (it is based on the methodology of L.S. Vygotsky, the concept of social relays by Mikhail Rozov, the theory of classification and the logical theory of definitions). The author suggests analyzing the metaphor, including it not in the psyche and relay races of Rozov, but in artistic reality; the latter is created in the space of artistic communication and creativity of the artist and the viewer. В  Within the framework of this approach, a metaphor is characterized as a special scheme, a technique and an expressive means that allow, on the basis of two artistic contents (potential events), to create a new content (a new objectivity) in which they are fused ("removed") both of the original artistic contents and due to a kind of emergent effect, a fundamentally new content (objectivity) is for our consciousness. In order to make these general statements more understandable and to concretize them, the metaphor "centaur" in Meir Shalev's novel "Esav" is analyzed. In fact, this is a humanitarian reconstruction based on the author's theory of artistic reality. In the last part of the article, latent and revealed metaphors, metaphor and metaphorical discourse, metaphors and schemes are distinguished.

Abstract: The subject of the study is the reaction of Colombian artists to the events that took place in the country on April 9, 1948 and were one of the most important milestones in the modern history of Colombia and the history of art of this country. On that day, peaceful Bogota was involved in an unprecedented civil uprising in Colombian history, the consequences of which affected all spheres of life of Colombian society. For art, this uprising also became a turning point in its development. Changes have taken place in all areas of fine art: there has been a pronounced social problem, there has been a break with academism and, of course, since the events of Bogotaso, the critical position of artists in relation to the phenomena of socio-political life in Colombia has received its vivid expression. This paper analyzes the paintings of key artists of the history of Colombian art: Enrique Grau and Alejandro Obregona. The works in question reflect the events of the fateful day for the country on April 9, 1948, interpreting the facts of this tragedy in their own way, and affirm the importance of the artist's socially critical position in society. Methodologically, this is a work with a comprehensive approach, including cultural-historical, iconographic, artistic-stylistic analysis of works. The novelty of the research lies in the study of the reaction of artists to political and social repression in Colombia, as well as in the study of the dizzying political and social changes that occurred after the events of Bogotaso in 1948 and influenced the development of the "critical art" of Colombia up to the present day.
