Biography of the artist Konstantin Makovsky

Konstantin Egorovich Makovsky (1839 - 1915) was born in the family, where there was an atmosphere of worship art. In their house there were many famous cultural and art figures. The Father of the artist, Egor Ivanovich Makovsky, was one of the largest collectors of Moscow of the second quarter of the XIX century. His passion was the works of fine art, mainly an old engraving.

And Konstantin Egorovich, inheriting the passion of his father, collected all the masterpieces of Russian ancient skills, but it was "beautiful old". Something he skillfully attracted in residential rooms and workshops, and then used in his paintings, and something simply put up into his ancient large wardrobe from a black tree to admire and admire the beauty and skill of Russian masters.

On the fireplace of the fireplace stood old homemade utensils: silver buckets, cups, manuals, Opahala - Boyman's items. Vintage boyars, multicolored sundresses, humiliated by pearls, Kokoshniki, embroidered with pearl laces - all this can be seen in the artist's paintings. And besides things, with love collected by Konstantin Egorovich, people who collected around it took part in his paintings. Sometimes the scenes from the boyars life were played, which were then transferred to the canvas. And it caused, undoubtedly, the hottest interest of the audience, because they were involved in the paintings of Makovsky to knowledge of the history of Russia and the culture of ancestors.

The daughter of the artist in his memoirs told how "... there were luxurious" live paintings "from the boyars life ...". The invited at these evenings was sometimes up to 150 people, among whom were representatives of ancient childbirth, the descendants of those whom the artist portrayed. They are "... deftly and beautifully dressed in a brocade and ..." in order to reproduce the scene in them, conceived by the artist. So the pictures appeared - "Wedding Feast", "Selection of the Bride" and many other pictures.

Pictures of Konstantin Makovsky

On the canvas K.E. Makovsky in bright luxury costumes from his own collection created images of beautiful women, modern artist. We look at the picture and feel like a Russian patronage glows, worst with silver and silver embroidered with Russian beauty. And if you pay attention, we will see that on every painting on girls haweding completely different hats. Indeed, the artist has a collection of kokoshnikov and hats was the richest and most valuable acquisition.

Collecting items of Russian Starina K.E. Makovsky continued to engage all his life. Collecting masterpieces of Russian masters, the artist was introduced to the history of Russia and, admiring them, inspired by new ideas. Now his canvases cause and in us not only admire the richest legacy of our ancestors, but also the desire to learn more and more about their homeland.

About how K.E. Makovsky used his collection in the work, told the writer E.I. Fortunato, which was lucky to be in him as a model.

K.E. Makovsky was not only an artist. Communicating with major historical scientists, he himself became a large specialist in the field of Russian antiquity. K.E. Makovsky sought to save the artistic treasure of Russia. Therefore, it is no coincidence in 1915 he became a member of the Society for the Renaissance of Art Rus, the main task of which was the preservation, study and propaganda of Russian antiquity.

Gorky and sadly that the collection gathering for half a century, which occupied such an important place in the life of the artist, who became a reflection of a whole era in Russian culture, in just six months after his death will be punished with trading. In September 1915, K.E. Makovsky was shot down by a street whip on one of Petrograd streets. After receiving a heavy injury, the artist died two days later. Sudden death destroyed all intended plans ...

More than 1000 items were listed at the auction, some of them got the capital museums: the Russian Museum, the Hermitage, the Museum of the Technical Drawing School of Baron Stiglitz, Moscow Museums. Many items were scared by representatives of Moscow antique firms. Genuine costumes, silver cups, buckets, glasses switched to the hands of prominent Moscow collectors.

But not everyone admired the paintings by K. Makovsky and his manner to work.

At the beginning of his creative path, K. Makovsky divided the views of the Movie artists, he wrote peasant children ("Children running from a thunderstorm", "date"), but already in the 1880s, the artist was irrevocably moved away from them and began to arrange personal exhibitions.

In 1883, he created a picture of the "Boyarsky Wedding Pier in the XVII century", followed by "the choice of the bride by the king of Alexey Mikhailovich" (1886), "Death of Ivan Grozny" (1888), "Dressage of the Bride to the Crown" (1890), "Kiss rite "(1895,). The paintings were successful, both in Russia and international exhibitions. For some of them at the World Exhibition of 1889 in Paris, K. Makovsky was awarded the Gold Medal.

At its pictures, prices were always high. P.M. Tretyakov sometimes could not buy them. But foreign collectors willingly bought the Boyarsky Cycle cloths, so most of the artist's work went out of Russia.

Thanks to such success, K.E. Makovsky became one of the richest people. Throughout his life, he was surrounded by a luxury, which did not dream of a single Russian artist. Makovsky with the same brilliance performed any order on any topic. It was the latter that caused misunderstanding from many, and even condemnation. Some, apparently, envied success, others believed that people with their daily lives should be present in the paintings. But such pictures were not so readily bought, and many believed that Makovsky wrote to those topics that were in demand, that is, for their own enrichment.

However, he always lived, as he wanted and wrote what he wanted. His vision of the beautiful simply coincided with the requirements and requests of those people who were ready to pay for his paintings a lot of money. His light success was the main cause of a negative attitude towards him and his work of the artists-Mobile. He was accused of the fact that he used art and his talent for the material benefits.

K.E. Makovsky started his artistic way with the artists of Movies, exposing paintings on the topic of the life of the people. However, over time, his interests became different, and from the 1880s he became a successful salon portrait. The fact that this happened for the sake of material goods cannot be believed. After all, his numerous collections and multifaceted talent speak about it. But it is impossible to deny that Makovsky has not been looking for recognition abroad. In addition, Europeans were interested in Russian history, so his work was quickly sold.

In the personal life of Makovsky was also happy. His pleasant appearance, sociability, always open and smiling look of clear eyes did Konstantin Egorovich always welcome guest. He was married three times. His first wife Lenochka Burkova, actress of the Alexandrinsky Theater, lived with him a short life. The charming and gentle girl made a lot of joy and warmth into his life. But from the earthly life, her sickness was taken early.

Carefree and greedy to the comforts of the life of Konstantin Egorovich quickly comforted, seeing the ball of extraordinary beauty to the girl - Yule Tsykov. The girl was only the sixteenth year, and the charming painter is the thirty-sixth. Soon the wedding took place. Having lived twenty years of happy family life, Konstantin Egorovich wrote many paintings, most of which are found a cute image of his young wife. For many years, Julia Pavlovna Makovskaya was his muse and model for portraits.

In 1889, Konstantin Makovsky went to the World Exhibition in Paris, where he exhibited several of his paintings. There he was fascinated by the young Maria Alekseevna Matavin (1869-1919). In 1891, the extramarital son Konstantin was born. I had to confess all my wife. Julia Pavlovna did not forgive betrayal. After a few years, divorce was decorated. And Konstantin Egorovich continued his lucky family life with the Third Wife, which also used as a model. His children and from the second, and from the third marriage, he also often portrayed on his canvases.

The name of the artist Makovsky is inextricably linked with the history of the Russian Art Society "Mobile". Brullov's educated on the ideals of Creativity, Konstantin Egorovich - one of the prominent representatives of the academic Russian style, which actively participated in the development of "Mobile" in the early stages of their existence. He entered the story as a wonderful portrait, his work was recognized not only in Russia, but also abroad. Makovsky is the most "fashionable" portrait of his era, whose brushes belong to the portraits of Russian Empress.

Biography Konstantin Makovsky

Born: July 2, 1839. The early years of the future of the artist passed in a creative family. Father (Egor Makovsky) is an amateur artist who became the founder of the Moscow School of Painting. Native brothers, sisters Constantine - also artists:

• Alexandra Makovskaya - landscape in the mid-19th century;
• Nikolai Makovsky - a landscapeist, master of genre painting;
• Vladimir Makovsky - Master of Household Painting, Schedule, Famous Pedagogue.

Father's upbringing, with all the heart of the painting of painting, creative atmosphere, the influence of the famous parents of parents who often visited the house of Makovsky - from this there is a childhood of Konstantin. It is not surprising that afterwards he tied life with the work, with drawing.

The twelve-year-old Konstantin enters the Moscow School of Painting, based on his father. Already seven years old, he is one of the best students of the Imperial Academy of Painting. The Academy Konstantin did not graduate. By refusing to participate in the competition, left the educational institution without receiving a diploma, with a scandal. Participants in the famous "Bunta of Fourteen" were: Kramskaya, Makovsky, Zaboloti, Lemoch, Venig and other best students of the Academy. Relaxing against the tough, conservative views of teachers who demanded strict adherence to academic painting, young artists refused to participate in the competition "Golden Medal of the Academy" and continue their studies.

Later, Makovsky joins Kramsky in the "St. Petersburg Artists Artists". This is the middle of the sixties of the 19th century.

1870. Konstantin, together with brothers and other members of Artel, are based on "mobile exhibitions partnership". Not counting the "artel", the mobileians became the first so large-scale independent art community of the Imperial Russia.

Cooperation with the Academy Makovsky does not break. The works of Konstantin Egorovich Makovsky are exhibited at the Academy on a par with mobile exhibitions of a new society. In the pictures, there is an acute social orientation. Makovsky seeks to show the simple, national life of Russian cities.

The sharp changes of the stylistic spirit of the works of Makovsky will happen later: after traveling to Northeast Africa, on the Balkans. Konstantin Egorovich begins to attract the game with color, shape. For this, many critics of that period condemn the artist. He betrays the ideals of "Mobile", distracted by the problems of modernity and paying attention to the internal problems of searching for their artistic "I", filling paintings by decorativeness. The artist's work is called aesthetically excellent, but - "empty", sore-conditioned, with a superficial meaning.

80 years 19th century. Konstantin Egorovich becomes (as Soviet critics noted) "Salon artist". The masters are appreciated in elite circles. Many aristocratic noble persons, including members of the imperial family, want portraits of Makovsky's hands. In addition to portraits, the artist also draws pictures of historical, mythological subjects: "Court of Paris", "Death of Ivan Grozny". Huge popularity is confirmed by deserved awards: the Gold Medal of the World Exhibition in Paris.

Until Death (1915), Makovsky does not lose popularity. Life is broken by a tragic chance: the tram crashes into the crew of the artist. Unfortunately, the grave of the master in the Nikolsky cemetery was not preserved.

Although officially Konstantin Egorovich is called the representative of Russian Academism, the master of the master absorbed bright features of the influence of other directions. From an early age, a romantic trend is noticeable in the works of Makovsky, excessive decorativeness inspired by the works of Brullov. Long before the development of Russian impressionism, Konstantin Egorovich's web already possess some elements of this style: no dynamics, sketching, emotional smears.

The artist himself, slightly ironically, recalled this side of his activity: "I posed the best beautiful beauties to me ... I earned huge money, I lived with royal luxury and managed to write a reasonable number of paintings, decorative panels, portraits, etudes and watercolors." But finally, a peculiar phenomenon that can be called the "phenomenon of Konstantin Makovsky" was formed only in the 1980s, when the artist moved away from the heads and began to arrange personal exhibitions of his works. In 1883, he showed the picture "Boyarsky Wedding Pier in the XVII century," which was shortly purchased to America. This work is rather interesting from an ethnographic point of view: the artist carefully presses the costumes of characters, accessories, details of a domestic environment.

Mermaids. 1879.

It was followed by "the choice of the bride with the king of Alexey Mikhailovich" (1886), "Death of Ivan Grozny" (1888), "Dress Up the Bride to the Crown" (1890), "Kiss rite" (1895, MRM). Thanks to the abundance of household details, the antique beauty of the entourage, the "noble" flowers given in the unity of a common golden tone, these works enjoyed the continued success, both in Russia and international exhibitions. At the World Exhibition of 1889 in Paris, K. Makovsky for the painting "Death of Ivan Grozny", "The Court of Paris" and "Demon and Tamara" was awarded the Golden Medal. Foreign collectors willingly bought exotic "boyars genres", so the majority of such works by the artist left Russia.

"Portrait of Princess Zinaida Yusupova in a Russian costume." 1900s.

Undoubtedly, it can be said that the eighties - the beginning of the nineties - the flourishing period of artist's creativity. During these years, magnificent works as "Krakh Bank" (1881), "justified" (1882), "Date" (1883), "On the Boulevard" (1886-1887), "Outdoor House" (1889).

"In the 1880s, the artist pays a lot of attention to the flavor, - T. Gorin notes. - In some works of this time, persistent searches for cleanliness and colorfulness of color, naturalness of nature of nature, sunlight, transparency, lightness of air are completely obvious. Characteristic in this respect such pictures as "two wanders", "Equestrian Fair in Ukraine", "Prayer in Easter". During these years, the artist wrote some rare for his work of purely landscape work. Among the best of them are "Kineshma. Embankment. " V. Makovsky in the picture "Explanation" is a wonderful colorist and subtle psychologist. With its figurative building, a bright lyrical feeling this picture is close to the stories of A.P. Chekhov ... "

Boyfriend at the window. 1885.

In later works, Makovsky often writes on insignificant themes, while manifested itself with a magnificent narrator and a subtle connoisseur of human psychology "School comrades" (1909), "Last Step" (1911), "Surrounding" (1912), "Waiting for an audience" (1904 ), "Sun" (1885-1914).

In 1918, Makovsky, receiving a pension, leaves the Academy of Arts.

Easy success K. Makovsky, its superficiality, colorfulness and attention to a beautiful entourage, became the main causes of the unprecedented success of his painting. After all, it was he who immersed a person in the element of beauty, into the world of elegant items and sophisticated feelings. Against the background of the general ethical orientation of Russian art of the XIX century, he kept the right to painting.
