Art and reality in ekphrasis V. A.K.Werin's trilogy "Lighted windows"

The article is devoted to the trilogy "Lighted window" (1976) by V.A.Kaverin. The artistic realization of the "arising of the topic writer" theme is being researched. It is being elucidated how ekphrasis reveals the process of developing a creative personality by objectifying an ideal hero. The description of some or other works of art varies the theme of interrelation between art and reality, which is urgent not only to the hero comprehending the basis of his future profession but also to the author who has presented the results of his meditations on art. The idea that it was ekphrasis that allowed him to make a thought not only persuasive but also visual is emphasized.
