DOI: 10.23951/2312-7899-2019-3-98-112
The essence of the study consists in symbolic and semantic analysis of the main circle of architectural decor elements, specific to the decorative and applied art of Crimean nations. The main objectives of the study include general characteristic of Crimea, as a multi-ethnic region, saturated for many centuries with a variety of cultural later developments, which were reflected in arts and crafts as well as architecture. Due to such a variety in the architectural decor Crimea, lots of symbolic pictorial elements are traced, for which reason the author faces two more tasks: identification through the method of historicism and the comparative semantics method of each symbol and belonging thereof to a particular ethnic culture. Symbolism and allegorical character of decorative images are also associated with the long-term formation of Islamic pictorial culture in Crimea, based on plant and geometric elements, and wide influence thereof on the art of surrounding nations. Temporal area of the study covers the period of the late 19th – early 20th centuries, when Art Nouveau comes to the Crimean architecture, the overall elegant eclecticism of which contributes to the introduction of various elements of the national decor. Decor elements of buildings could indicate the ethnicity of their owner, and also contributed to the formation of the so-called “Crimean style” in the architecture of the region, which is characterized by an abundance of small “lacy” molded elements, elegant ornamentation, light colors of the facades, which, in combination with a predominantly blue sky, creates characteristic southern charm of the city.
