Abstract
The study analyzes the current state of the art of artistic enamel in Kazan in the early 20th century, which is a unique phenomenon. The relevance of studying, developing, and supporting artistic techniques and crafts that are historically associated with regions is one of the main tasks of modern history and cultural theory. Due to globalization and the spiritual and moral crisis of the individual, self-identification and a cultural code are necessary to awaken individuality and creativity. Hot enamel, which is used both as a type of decoration and as an independent art form, primarily as a stand-alone art form, is an expressive and rather difficult technique to master. Considering the subject of this article, there are traditions in the history of Kazan hot enamel as a type of jewelry, where enamel is a component of jewelry. Considering the subject of the article, in the history of Kazan hot enamel, there are traditions of jewelry enamels, where enamel is a component of jewelry, and the tradition of pictorial enamels, where this technique is the basis of an independent artistic technique. Based on the identified archival sources, interviews with artists, exhibition materials and expert opinions, the leading representatives of the Kazan enamel school of the twentieth century were identified, the dynamics of development was analyzed, and an art criticism analysis of the works was given. The historical component of the subject is arranged chronologically. The result of the work is a conclusion about the formation of the original Kazan school of enamel, which continues to develop in difficult conditions, despite objective difficulties. The further development of enamel art requires a targeted measure of support from both the art communities and the state.
