Abstract

The article considers the role of the war prisoner artists in the cultural life of Siberian cities during the World War I, the city of Krasnoyarsk taken as an example. The work of artists jailed into specialized regional camps is understudied and still needs to be thoroughly researched. The war prisoner artists were active in the art process of Siberia taking part in exhibitions, working in workshops, for printing and decorating industries and even promoting the local art education. The research is based on archive documents and retrospective periodicals and the conclusion is made that the regional art life got a powerful push for its further development under the influence of the outside, mostly European culture.
