Résumé anglais Evgenij Kovtun, A Soviet painter: Vladimir Sterligov. Vladimir Sterligov, a Russian painter deceased in 1973, whose followers continue, up to our times, to draw their inspiration from what is called in Leningrad "the school of Sterligov"" (under the direction of the painter's widow, Tatiana Glebova) had created in Russia, in the sixties, a new aesthetic tendency at the intersection of the Suprematism of Malevich and the "organic" pictural culture of Matiushin. For Sterligov, the structure and the construction of plastic space are based on the shape of a bowl (and the cupola derived therefrom). The aesthetics of the curb, of the bowl and the cupola is perceived in the spiritual and moral life of the world as a new and imperative necessity. Sterligov dreamt of the contemporary religious art of painting. He was not attracted by the face but by the vision of the world such as displayed by ancient Russian painting. He was opposed to the arbitrary in the individualistic creation and believed in the logic of the unescapable and absolute development of the plastic shape transmitted through the artist.
