There are many articles on the Internet devoted to the theory of types, created by Lyubov Popova, a candidate of art history, the author of a methodology for the development of creative abilities. We contacted her to get first-hand information about the popular theory.
The art critic has developed a system of supporting types associated with the Great Historical Styles (Baroque, Rococo, Art Nouveau, Art Deco, Renaissance, Romanticism, Middle Ages, Greece, Egypt). The system of linearity and imagery of Lyubov Popova is taught by her student Olga Menshikova.
Based on the linear analysis of appearance, created by Lyubov Popova, in 1998 Olga Menshikova developed a system of 6 image types with their common characteristic features:
Dramatic is a general impression of strength. The face is large. Facial features are often large, embossed, heavy or sharp, in shape they can be both coal and rounded, the eyebrow line is energetic, hard.
