MEDITATIVE (MIDDLE) DECADES (60-year cycle of meditative decades (6))

In one of the decades of this cycle, World War II occurred. Wars of this magnitude did not always occur, but international tensions increased, and in a number of decades world wars broke out.


This is the fourth article in which we examine the next decade of the 60-year cycle, illustrated by works of fine art. As we have seen before, each active decade in which the artist is focused on changing the external environment is necessarily followed by a decade in which creativity is primarily directed toward internal goals, meditation and reflection.


And so, in the next (fourth) decade under consideration, the creative person, as a rule, reconciles himself with the surrounding reality, goes inside himself, leaving the field of action to pragmatists and the general public.



(Here, as before, art in general and painting in particular should be considered not as an enlivening illustrative material, but as a fundamental one, without which we cannot understand historical time.)
