The largest master of this direction was the artist, who began his career in the 60-ies of D. D. Zhilinsky. A special feature of his creative method was the increased attention to the drawing, executed in an academic manner and is the basis of subsequent paintings. Later the method of D. D. Zhilinsky was picked up and elaborated in the works of a younger generation of artists who came to art in 70-ies. Wide dissemination of this method was facilitated by the Soviet school of art, keeping the traditions of classical art education with its intense attention to real figure, plastic employee the basis for any scenic image. In his work many young artists of the 70-ies of the last century appealed to the traditions of art of the ages preceding the birth and development of the impressionist school of painting, as well as the emergence and spread in the twentieth century different directions of modernism.
