THE PROBLEM OF STUDYING OF THE MUSIC AND PAINTING OF ARTSAKH IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE 19TH CENTURY AND THE BEGINNING OF THE 20TH CENTURY IN THE PAGES OF THE EASTERN ARMENIAN PERIODICAL PRESS

Abstract

The culture of Artsakh stands out for its uniqueness in the centuries-old history of the development of Armenian culture. The second half of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century are important periods in the centuries-old history of Armenian culture. The preconditions for the development of the culture of the period (movements in the field of socio-economic relations, socio-political tendencies, the process of national unification of Armenian people, the strengthening of Armenian-Russian relations, a powerful social and pedagogical movement that developed in Eastern Armenia in the 60s of the 19th century, the strong relations with major Armenian cultural centers: Calcutta, Madras, New Julfa, Venice, Moscow, New Nakhichevan, Astrakhan, Saint Petersburg, Tiflis, etc) also had a unique impact on the cultural life of Artsakh. It should be emphasized that although the cultures of Russia, European countries and neighboring peoples had a beneficial effect on the culture of Artsakh at that time, however, the Armenian intelligentsia has always retained its unique national spirit in the field of pan-Armenian culture.

 The socio-political movements that took place in Eastern Armenia and the rise of the cultural life also had a beneficial effect on the development of the branches of the art of Artsakh (theater, music, fine arts, architecture, sculpture, applied arts: carpet weaving, embroidery, pottery, jewelry, etc.).
