Close-up» as a mirror

Introduction: on October 28, 2021, People’s Artist of the USSR Vladimir Alexandrovich Igoshev would have turned 100 years old, whose work was inextricably linked with the culture and history of Yugra. Objective: on the basis of a theoretical and methodological combination of approaches («close-up» and «theory of mimesis») and oral reports of informants to consider the experience of V. A. Igoshev’s creative trips to Yugra. Research materials: catalogs of exhibitions and reproductions of V. A. Igoshev’s works, works of the artist from the funds of the State Art Museum, literature dedicated to the artist’s work, oral reports of informants. Results and scientific novelty: the article actualizes 1) a new theoretical and methodological reading of both the artist’s works and the understanding of the realities of the culture and life of the Ob Ugrians in the second half of the XX century; 2) thanks to the collected and recorded oral data of informants from among the indigenous peoples of the North, it became possible to fill in the gaps in the master’s creative heritage
