Abstract

The purpose of this article is to examine the genre of industrial landscape and how it reflects the era in which it was created, as well as the development of industrialization and society's attitude to it in different periods of time. Looking at the paintings of this genre, starting from the XIX century, you can trace the evolution of industrialization and society's attitude towards it. Also, the genre of industrial landscape beautifully reflects the development of painting, covering a period of more than a hundred years. Research methods. The article uses the analysis of artistic works of the industrial genre, the study of the historical contexts in which these works were created, as well as the interpretation of modern trends in this genre. The results of the research. The study showed how the industrial landscape changed from a fascination with engineering creativity to a critical understanding of the impact of industrialization on the environment and society. It is also found that artists use this genre for social criticism and reflection. Thus, the industrial landscape became not just an image of industrial objects, but also an important tool for expressing one's own relationship to the present. Conclusions. Industrial landscape is an industrial genre that allows you to trace the evolution of society's attitude to industrialization and its impact on people's lives and the state of the environment. It continues to be relevant in contemporary art as well, providing opportunities for experimentation and new interpretations. Kyiv artists Olena Pryduvalova and Nat Levitasova best show the modern vision and attitude to the industrial landscape. Their works united by one genre have many differences. However, they serve the same purpose, show the city from different angles and interest the viewer in learning and reinterpreting places saturated with infrastructure and industry.
