Abstract

The object of the research is the “Caucasian text” by A. S. Griboedov in his pictorial aesthetics. The purpose of the study is to identify the features and principles of creating the illusion of visual perception in the "Caucasian text" by A. S. Griboedov. The relevance of the problem is determined by the accentuation of the value acquaintance of the Russian reader with the Caucasian culture in its natural component, as well as the insufficient knowledge of the "Caucasian text" by A. S. Griboedov and the need to clarify the features of the formation of the poet's artistic method. The novelty of the study is to identify the features of the poetics of visualization in the “Caucasian text” by A. S. Griboedov, to determine the mechanisms of verbal transmission of the picturesque. By analyzing the “Caucasian text” in the tradition of pittoresque voyage (traveling in search of the picturesque), the article first examines the poetics of pictorial art of A. S. Griboedov, manifested in the selection of colorful views, following the principle of local color, finding color solutions for verbal landscapes. Among the leading principles of visualization, the principles of framing, the alternation of general, large and super-large (volumetric images of small details) plans stand out. Conclusions are drawn about the importance of visualization tools for creating natural and national everyday paintings in the Caucasus. The dominance of the poetics of tangible objectivity in the reproduction of national paintings and historical events allows us to consider the “Caucasian text” by A. S. Griboedov as a step towards a new, realistic tradition of depicting the Caucasus, and realism as the basis of the poet’s artistic method.
