The right to creativity
The article shows the development of a methodology for distance learning of painting and graphics in the 1930s-1950s on the example of the self-taught Stepan Bublik. For this, an analysis was made of the work of the House of Folk Art with self-taught people in the 1930-1950s on the basis of the studied works, archival materials, methodological manuals and exhibition catalogs. The author comes to the conclusion that despite the fact that the artistic primitive in the work of amateur artists was actively suppressed, an individual approach to each student of correspondence courses became the basis on which teaching at the Correspondence People‘s University of Arts was built. This made it possible to reveal the talent of many artists, who today are considered classics of naive art.
