Artistic heritage The masters are not exhausted only by book graphics. A. F. Pakhomov is the author of monumental paintings, picturesque canvases, machine graphics: drawings, watercolors, numerous etams, among which the exciting lists of the Leningrad series in the days of the blockade. However, it happened that in the literature about the artist there was an inaccurate idea of \u200b\u200bthe genuine scale and time of his activity. Sometimes the lighting of his work began only from the works of the mid-30s, and sometimes later - with a series of lithographs of the military years. Such a limited approach was not only narrowing and dreamed of an idea of \u200b\u200bthe original and bright heritage of A. F. Pakhomov, who created for half a century, but also impoverished Soviet art as a whole.

The need for a study of creativity A. F. Pakhomov has long been abandoned. The first monograph appeared in the mid-30s. Naturally, only part of the works was considered in it. Despite this, and on some limitations in the understanding of traditions, peculiar to that time, the work of the first biographer V. P. Anikayeva retained the value from the factual side, as well as (with the necessary adjustments) conceptually. In the essays that came out in the 50s about the artist, the coverage of the material of the 20s - 30s turned out to be narrower, and the coverage of the consequent periods was more selective. Today, the descriptive and appraisal side of the works about A. F. Pakhomov, distant from us by two decades, seems largely lost persuasiveness.

In the 60s, A. F. Pakhomov wrote the original book "About his work." The book clearly showed the fallacy of a number of existing ideas about his work. The artist's thoughts made in this work on time and art, as well as the extensive material of records of conversations with Alexey Fedorovich Pakhomov, made by the author of these lines, helped creating the proposed monograph readers.

A. F. Pakhomov belongs to an extremely large number of paintings and graphics. Without claiming their exhaustive lighting, the author of the monograph considered its task to give an idea of \u200b\u200bthe main parties creative activity Masters, about her wealth and originality, about teachers and colleagues who contributed to the formation of art A. F. Pakhomov. Citizenship, deep vitality, realism peculiar to the works of the artist, allowed to show the development of his work in a permanent and close connection with the life of the Soviet people.

Being one of the biggest masters soviet art, A. F. Pakhomov carried on all his duty of the life and creative way of hot love of the Motherland, to her people. High humanism, truthfulness, richness and make it works by such spiritual, sincere, full of warmth and optimism.

In the Vologda region near the city of Kadnikov on the banks of the river, the village of Varlamov was spread. There, on September 19 (October 2), 1900, the peasant of Efimi Petrovna Pakhomoy was born a boy, who was called Alexei. His father, Fedor Dmitrievich, took place from the "specific" landpashers who did not know the horrors of serfdom. This circumstance played not the last role in the lifeguard and prevailing characteristics of the character, the ability to stay simply, calmly, with dignity. They also rooted the features of special optimistic, the latitude of views, mental directness, responsiveness. Alexey was brought up in an employment situation. Lived not burning. As in the whole village, there was not enough bread to spring, it was necessary to buy it. Required additional incomewho were engaged in adult family members. One of the brothers was Kamenotes. Many fellow villagers were cargo. Nevertheless, the early hours of life remembered young Alexey as the most joyful. After biennial training in a christmas school, and then two more years - in the Zemstvo School in the neighboring village, he was sent "to a stateless account and on the government charachi" in the Higher Primary School in the city of Kadnikov. The time of classes there remained in the memory of A. F. Pakhomova as very heavy and hungry. "Since my careless childhood in from the house, "He said," it was forever to seem to me the happiest and poetry time, and this poetization of childhood later became the main motive in my work. " Artistic abilities Alexei manifested itself early, although where he lived, there was no conditions for their development. But even in the absence of teachers, the boy achieved certain results. The neighboring landowner V. Zubov drew attention to his talent and presented the alea pencils, paper and reproduction from paintings by Russian artists. Early Pakhomov drawings, preserved to the present day, find what subsequently, being enriched by professional skill, will be characteristic of his work. A little artist fascinated a man's image and primarily a child. He draws brothers, sister, neighbor children. Interestingly, the rhythm of the lines of these frequency pencil portraits Ensharge with the drawings of its mature pore.

In 1915, by the end of the school of the city of Kadnikov, on the suggestion of the county leader of the nobility of Yu. Zubov, local art lovers declared a subscription and the money collected sent Pakhomov to Petrograd to the school A. L. Stiglitsa. With the revolution, the changes and to the life of Alexey Pakhomov. Under the influence of new teachers who appeared in the school, N. A. Tyrsov, M. V. Dobuzhinsky, S. V. Chekhonin, V. I. Shujaeva - He seeks to deeper to understand the tasks of art. Short-term learning under the guidance big Masters Figure Shujaeva gave him a lot of valuable. These classes laid the foundations of the structure human body. He sought to a deep study of anatomy. Pakhomov was convinced of the need to not copy the surrounding, but in meaningful to portray him. Drawing, he got used to not depend on black-free conditions, but no matter how to "illuminate" nature with its own eye, leaving bright close parts of the volume and the prettier one that are more distant. "True," the artist noticed at the same time, "I didn't become a faithful Shukhaev, that is, I did not draw Sangina, sinking it with a rubber band so that the human body looked spectacular." We were useful, as Pakhomov recognized, the lessons of the visible artists of the book - Dobuzhinsky and Chekhonin. He especially remembered the last advice: to seek the ability to write fonts on the book cover at once with a brush, without a preparatory mark with a pencil, "as an address on the envelope." According to the artist, such a development of the desired chammerator helped subsequently in the sketches from nature, where he could, starting with some detail, place all depicted on the sheet.

In 1918, when it was impossible to live in a cold and hungry petrograd without permanent earnings, Pakhomov went home, enrolling the teacher of drawing to school in Kadnikov. These months brought tremendous benefits to replenish his education. After lessons in the classroom and the second stage, he greedily read, while the light allowed and the eyes were not tired. "All the time was in an excited state, I was covered by the fever of knowledge. In front of me, the whole world was revealed, which I, it turns out, almost did not know, - recalled the steven steams. - I took the February and October revolutions with joy, like most people, surrounding me, but only now, reading books on sociology, political economy, historical materialism, history, I began to truly understand the essence of the events that happened. "

Before the young men, the treasures of science and literature were opened; It was quite natural that his intention to continue in Petrograd interrupted training. In a familiar building in Salo Lane, he began to engage in N. A. Tyrsa, who was then the Commissioner of the former School of Stiglitz. "We, students of Nikolai Andreevich, was very surprised by his costume," Pakhomov told. - The commissioners of those years wore leather caps and jackets with a flaw and Nagan in Cobur, and Tyrsa walked with a cane and in the bowler. But his conversations about art listened to his breath. " The head of the workshop witnessed the obsolete views on painting, introduced students with the achievements of impressionists, with the experience of postpressionism, unbelievably attracted attention to the search, which are visible in the works of Van Gogh and especially Cezanne. The clear program of the future art of Tyrs did not advance, from those engaged in his workshop, he demanded immediacy: Write the way you feel. In 1919, Pakhomov called on the Red Army. He closely learned unfamiliar to this military environment, I understood genuinely people's character The army of the country of the Councils, which later affected the interpretation of this topic in his work. In the spring of next year, demobilized after the disease of Pakhomov, arriving in Petrograd, moved from the workshop of N. A. Tyrsi to V. V. Lebedev, deciding to obtain an idea of \u200b\u200bthe principles of cubism, which was reflected in a number of works of Lebedev and his students. From the works of Pakhomov, completed at this time, a little preserved. Such, for example, "still life" (1921), distinguished by a subtle sense of texture. In it, hesitates the desire to seek instructing from Lebedev, to seek not a superficial completion, but a constructive pictorial organization of the canvas, not forgetting about the plastic qualities of the depicted.

Just new great work Pakhomov - Pictures "Senokos" - originated in the native village of Varlamov. There was a material to her. The artist depicted an ordinary household scene on the back, and the help of young peasants with his neighbors. Although the transition to the collective, collective farm work was then the case of the future, but the event itself, showing the burdens of youth and the passion for the work, was already akin to new trends. Etudes and sketches of kostov figures, fragments of the landscape: herbs, bushes, stubs indicate an amazing sequence and seriousness artistic designwhere bold textured searches are combined with the solution of plastic problems. The ability of Pakhomov to catch the rhythm of movements contributed to the dynamicity of the composition. To this picture, the artist walked for several years and fulfilled many preparatory works. In a number of them, he developed close or related main themes of the plots.

The figure "beat off spit" (1924) shows two young peasants at work. They were drawn by Pakhomov from nature. Then he passed this leaf with a brush, summarizing the shown already without monitoring his models. Good plastic qualities that combine with the transfer of a strong movement and the overall painting of the use of carcasses are visible in the earlier work of 1923 "Two Kosza". With deep truthfulness, and you can say, and the severity of the drawing, the artist here was interested in the alternation of the plane and volume. In the sheet skillfully used batter. The landscaped environment is given a hint. Feeling the texture of beveled and standing grass, which contributes a rhythmic diversity.

Among the considerable number of development in the color of the scene "Senokos" should be called the Watercolor "Kosar in the pink shirt". In addition, in addition to picturesque blur, it was applied to a wet colorful layer, which attached a special sharpness of the image and was introduced in another technique (in painting by oil) in the picture. Colorite large sheet "Senokos" written by watercolor. In it the scene as if seen with high Point vision. This made it possible to show all the figures going to a row of kostov and achieve a special dynamics of transmission of their movements, which contributes to the location of the figures diagonally. Evaluating this technique, the artist built and the picture, and then did not forget him in the future. Pakhomov reached the painting of the common range and gave the impression of the morning haze, permeated sunlight. The same theme was solved otherwise in an oil-written picture "On the back of" depicting working kossti and aside grazing near the cart. Landscape here is another than in other sketches, options and in the picture itself. Instead of field - shore fast riverWhat is emphasized by streams and a boat with a row. Expressive flavoring landscape, built on various cold green tones, only in the foreground is introduced warmer shades. A certain decorativeness is found in combination of figures with a surroundings, intensifying the total color sound.

One of the paintings of Pakhomova on the topics of sports in the 20s - "boys on skates". The artist built a composition in the image of the longest moment of movement and therefore the most fruitful, giving an idea of \u200b\u200bwhat has passed and what will happen. The other figure is contrastingly shown, which makes a rhythmic diversity and the final composite thought. In this picture, along with interest in sport, the appeal of Pakhomov to the most important for his work is the subject - the life of children. Previously, this tendency has affected the artist's schedule. Starting from the mid-20s, deep understanding and the creation of images of children of the country of councils was an outstanding contribution of Pakhomov to art. Studying large picturesque and plastic problems, the artist solved them and in works on this new important topic. At the 1927 exhibition, the fabric "peasant girl" was shown, which, although he had echoed by his task with portraits discussed above, was also also independent interest. The artist's attention focused on the image of the head and hand of the girl written with a large plastic feeling. The type of young person is originally seized. Close to this canvase on the immediacy of the feeling is the "girl for hairstyle", exposed for the first time in 1929. From the graceful image of 1927, it was distinguished by a new, more unfolded composition, including almost the entire figure in growth, transmitted in a more complex movement. The artist showed a relaxed pose of a girl, correcting the hairstyle and losing in a small mirror lying on his knee. The sonorous combinations of a golden face and hands, a blue dress and a red bench, the scarlet of sweatshirts and oath-greenish logs of horses contribute to the emotionality of the image. Pakhomov thinly captured an incentive expression of a kindergarten, pointing poses. Bright, unusual images stopped spectators. Both works were part of foreign exhibitions of Soviet art.

Throughout its half a century creative activity, A. F. Pakhomov was closely with the life of the Soviet country, and this was saturated with his works by inspired by the conviction and strength of vitality. His artistic individuality has developed early. Acquaintance with his work shows that already in the 20s it was distinguished by the depth and foundation, enriched with the experience of studying world culture. In the formation of it is obvious the role of the art of Jotto and Pratamentansans, but no less deep was the impact of the ancient Russian painting. A. F. Pakhomov belonged to the number of masters, innovatives approaching a rich classic heritage. Its works are inherent in the modern sense in solving both pictorial and graphic tasks.

The development of the Pakhomov new themes in the canvases "1905 in the village", "Riders", "Spartak", in the cycle of paintings about children is important for the formation of Soviet art. The artist played a prominent role in creating the image of a contemporary, his series of portraits is a visual testimony. For the first time he introduced so bright and life images Young citizens of the country of the Soviets. This side of his diving is extremely valuable. His works enriched and expand ideas about the history of domestic painting. Already from the 20s the largest museums Countries acquired Pakhomov's canvas. His works received international fame at large exhibitions in Europe, America, Asia.

A. F. Pakhomov inspired socialist reality. Attention it was attracted to the test of turbines, the work of weaving factories and a new in life agriculture. Themes associated with collectivization are revealed in its works, and with the introduction of equipment to the fields, and using combines, and with the work of tractors at night, and with the life of the army and fleet. We emphasize the special value of these achievements of Pakhomov, because all this was displayed as an artist in the 20th and early 1930s. His picture "Pioneers at the solebl", a series of commune "Sewer" and portraits from the "beautiful swords" belong to the number of the deepest works of our artists about change in the village, about collectivization.

Work A. F. Pakhomova is distinguished by the monumentality of solutions. In the early Soviet wallsopi, the artist's work belongs to the most striking and interesting. In the Krasnaya oath cards, paintings and sketches of the "dance of children of all nations", pictures about the jaciest, as in general in the best creations of Pakhryov's painting, will feel the relationship with the great traditions of the ancient national heritage, which is in the treasury of world art. Deeply original coloristic, shaped side of his paintings, paintings, portraits, as well as machine and book graphics. The brilliant successes of the plenary painting demonstrates the series "In the Sun" - a kind of anthem youth of the country of the Soviets. Here in the image of a naked body, the artist performed as one of the large masters who contributed to the development of this genre in soviet painting. Color searches of Pakhomov were combined with the solution of serious plastic problems.

It must be said that in the face of A. F. Pakhomova, art had one of the largest drawers of modernity. Master masterly owned various materials. Work in mascara and watercolor, pen and brush adjacent to the brilliant drawings graphite pencil. His achievements go beyond domestic art and become in a number of outstanding creations of world graphics. Examples are not difficult to find in a series of drawings made at home in the 20s, and among the sheets made in the next decade on travel around the country, and in cycles about the pioneer camps.

The contribution of A. F. Pakhomov in graphics is huge. His machines I. booksDedicated to children relate to outstanding successes in this area. One of the founders of Soviet illustrated literature, he introduced a deep and individualized image of a child. His drawings were fascinated by readers with vitality and expressiveness. Without a teaching, alone, the artist brought thoughts to the children, awakened their feelings. And important topics of education and school Life! Nick from the artists were not solved so deeply and truthfully as Pakhomov. For the first time, it is so figurative and realistic, he illustrated the verses of V. V. Mayakovsky. Feature discovery His drawings became for the works of L. N. Tolstoy for children. The considered graphic material clearly showed that the creativity of Pakhomov, Illustrator of modern and classical literature, illegally limit only the area of \u200b\u200bthe children's book. Excellent artist drawings to the writings of Pushkin, Nekrasov, Zoshchenko testify to the great successes of Russian graphics of the 30s. His works contributed to the approval of the method of socialist realism.

Art A. F. Pakhomov is distinguished by citizenship, modernity, relevance. During the hardest tests of the Leningrad blockade, the artist did not interrupt its activities. Together with the masters of the art of the city on the Neva, he, as once in his youth in a civil war, worked on the tasks of the front. A series of lithographs Pakhomova "Leningrad in the days of blockade", one of the most significant creatures of the art of war years, reveals unparalleled valor and courage of Soviet people.

The author of hundreds of lithographs, A. F. Pakhomov must be named among those enthusiast artists who contributed to the development and dissemination of this type of printed graphics. The possibility of appealing to a wide range of spectators, the mass of the address of the circulation estampa attracted his attention.

His works are characterized by classical clarity and laconicism fine remedies. The image of a person is its main goal. The extremely important side of the artist's creativity belonging to his classical traditions is the desire for plastic expressiveness, which is clearly visible in his painting, drawings, illustrations, tops up to its most recent works. He spent it constantly and consistently.

A. F. Pakhomov - "Deeply original, large Russian artist, fully immersed in the mapping of life of his people, but at the same time the absorbent achievement of world art. Creativity A. F. Pakhomov, painter and graphics, is a significant contribution to the development of Soviet artistic culture. /V.S. Matafones /

Vladimir Vasilyevich Lebedev

14 (26) .05.1891, St. Petersburg - 11/21/1967, Leningrad

Popular artist RSFSR. Corresponding Member of the Academy of Arts of the USSR

He worked in St. Petersburg in the workshop F. A. RouBo and visited the school of drawing, painting and sculptures M. D. Bernstein and L. V. Sherwood (1910-1914), studied in St. Petersburg at the Academy of Arts (1912-1914). Member of society "Four Arts". Collaborated in Satirikon magazines, "New Satirikon". One of the organizers "Growth winds "in Petrograd.

In 1928, a personal exhibition of Vladimir Vasilyevich Lebedeva was arranged in the Russian Museum in Leningrad - one of the brilliant graphs of the 1920s. He was photographed then against the background of his works. Impeccable white collar and tie, hat, sweeping on eyebrows, facial expression is serious and slightly arrogant, the view is correct and not glad, and, at the same time, the jacket is reset, and the sleeves shirts, roll up above the elbows, are exposed to muscular big hands with Brushes "smart" and "nervous". All the impression of college, readiness to work, and most importantly - intensity of the graphics shown at the exhibition, internally tense, almost gambling, is sometimes ironic and as if challenged in armor a slightly cooling graphics reception. The artist joined the post-revolutionary era with posters for "growth windows". As in the "Gladliners" created at the same time (1920), the style of a color collage was imitated in them. However, in the posters, this reception that comes from the cubism receives a completely new understanding, expressing with the lapidarity of the sign and pathos of protection of the revolution (" On guard of October ", 1920) and will to dynamic work (" demonstration ", 1920). One of the posters ("Need to work - rifle near ", 1921) depicts a worker with a saw and simultaneously perceived by a certain firmly rigid object. Orange, yellow and blue strips, from which the figure is composed, are firmly connected to printed letters having, in contrast to cubistic inscriptions, a specific meaning value. With What expressiveness is crossed by a diagonal formed by the word "work", the canvas saw and the word "necessary", and the steep arc from the words "rifle near" and the shoulder line of the employee! The same atmosphere of the direct occurrence of the drawing in reality has characterized at that time and Lebedev drawings For children's books. In Leningrad, a whole direction was formed in the 1920s in illustrating books for children. Together with Lebedev, V. Yermolaeva, N. Tyrsa worked , N. Lapshin, and the literary part was headed by S. Marshak, then standing close to the group of Leningrad poets - E. Schwartz, N. Zabolotsky, D. Pharms, A.Vedensky. In those years, a completely special image of a book was approved, different from what cultivated in those years in Moscow Illustration led by V. Favorsky. While in the group of Moscow Xilarographers or Bibliophiles reigned almost romantic perception of the book, and the work itself concluded on her and something "harsh-otogram", Leningrad illustrators created a kind of "book-toy", gave it directly to the child, For which she was intended. To change the movement of the imagination "in the depths of culture" there came here a cheerful effectiveness when the painted book could be thrown in his hands or at least crawling around it lying on the floor surrounded by toy elephants and cubes. Finally, the "Holy Saints" of the Xylography of the Favorsky - the black and white elements of the image in a depth or from the depth of the sheet - inferior here a place of frankly flat applicature, when the drawing arose as if "under the hands of a child" slices of paper out of scissors. The famous cover for the "elephant" R. Kipling (1926) is formed as if from the patchwork, randomly scattered on the paper surface. It seems that the artist (and possibly the child himself!) Until then, they moved these pieces on paper until the completed composition was turned out, in which everything "goes with a wheel" and where, meanwhile, do not shift anything to the millimeter: in The center is an elephant with a curved long nose, around it - the pyramids and palm trees, from above - a large inscription "Elephant", and at the bottom of the crocodile, the victim of a complete defeat.

But even more gambling a book"The circus"(1925) and "As the planer made the plane"In which the Pheists of Lebedev accompanied the poems S. Marshak. On the reversals with the image of a handshake of clowns or a thick clown on a donkey literally "boils" work on cutting and sticker of green, red or black pieces. Here all "separately" - black shoes or red noses in clowns, green pantalona or yellow guitar fatty with a karasem - but with which incomparable glitter is connected and "glued", permeated by the spirit of lively and cheerful initiative.

All of these Lebedev pictures facing ordinary children readers, among which both masterpieces such as lithographs for the book "Hunting" (1925) were, on the one hand, the product of an honed graphic culture capable of satisfying the most demanding eye, and on the other - Art disclosed in live reality. The pre-revolutionary graphics are not only Lebedev, but also many other artists, did not yet know such an open contact with life (despite the fact that Lebedev in the 1910s painted for the magazine "Satirikon") - there were no those "vitamins" or rather, Those "Yeast of vitality", on which "wandered" in the 1920s and the Russian reality itself. Unusually explicitly discovered this contact of the household drawings of Lebedev, not so much invading life, as illustration or posters, how many absorbing it into their figurative sphere. The basis here is a sharply greedy interest in all new social types, which continuously arose around. Figures 1922-1927 could be combined with the name "Revolution Panel", which Lebedev entitled only the series of 1922, which was depicted the string of the post-revolutionary street, and the Little Little Distribution said that it was most likely a foam whipped by tatty street stream of events. The artist draws sailors with girls on Petrograd crossroads, traders with trays or France, smashed in the fashion of those years, and especially NEPMANOV - these comic and at the same time grotesque representatives of the new "street fauna", which in the same years and in the same years V. Konashevich and a number of other masters. Two NEPMANs in the picture "Couple" from the series " New Lodge"(1924) could go beyond the same clowns, which Lebedev soon depicted on the" circus "pages, if there were no more sharp attitude to the artist himself. The relationship of Lebedev to this kind of characters can not be called neither" brazhanty ", nor all the more" Biscuit. "In front of these Lebedev drawings did not accidentally recalled P. Fedotov with its no less characteristic sketches of street types of the XIX century. I mean that the living inseparalness of the Ironic and poetic principle, which were marked by both artists and which both have a special attractiveness of images. Remember both contemporaries Lebedev, writers M. Zoshchenko and Yu. Olese. They have the same absence of irony and smiles, ridicule and admirement. Lebedev something, apparently, impressed and cheap chic sail sailor sailor ("Girl and sailor "), and causing girls, with a boot approved on a cartridge drawer (" Girl and Clever Cattle "), it even attracted it to the zoological or purely plant innocent With what kind of lops under the fence, we climb up all these new characters, showing the wonders of adaptability, such as, for example, talking ladies in the stores at the shop windows ("People of Society", 1926) or a handful of Napmans on Evening Street ("NEPMAN" , 1926). In particular, the poetic began in the most famous Lebedev series "Love Spand" (1926-1927). What fascinating life is breathing in the picture "on the rink" of the guy's shapes with a fur coat open on his chest and sat down on a bench in a kapor with a bow and a bottle legs, tightened into high shoes. If in the "New Life" series, perhaps, you can also talk about satire, then it is almost imperceptible here. In the picture "Rash, Semenovna, Sweeping, Semenovna!" - The height of the Ktendse. In the center of the sheet - hot and young sailing couple, and the viewer seems to hear how to splash out the palm of the palm or pushing the battles of the guy, it feels the snake flexibility of the bare back, the ease of movements of his partner. From the series "Revolution Panel" to the drawings "Love Spand", Lebedevsky style has done a noticeable evolution. Figures of the sailor and girls in Figure 1922 are still composed of independent spots - stains of carcasses of various textures, similar to what they were in the "ironers", but more generalized and catchy. In the "New World" stickers were added here, which turned the drawing is no longer in the imitation of the collage, but in the real collage. In the image, the plane was fully dominated, especially since, and according to Lebedev himself, good drawing Must be primarily "well-sitting in paper." However, in the sheets of 1926-1927, the shift of the paper plane increasingly came the depicted space with its light and the object. We are no longer spots, but gradual graduation of light and shadow. At the same time, the movement of the figure was not in "cutting and sticking", as it was in the "NEP" and in the "circus", but in a slide of a soft brush or in the flow of black watercolor. By the mid-1920s, on the way to the increasingly free, or picturesque, as they are usually called, many other drawers moved the drawing. N. Kupreyanov with its Selischenskaya "herds", and L. Bruni, and N. Tyrsa. The drawing was no longer limited to the effect of "bribery", pointed by grappling "on the tip of the pen" all new characteristic types, but as if he was involved in a lively flow of reality with all his changes and emotionality. In the mid-20s, this refreshing stream has already overwhelmed the sphere not only "street", but also "home" topics and even such traditional layers of drawing, like drawing in a workshop with a naked human figure. And what kind of picture was new in all its atmosphere, especially if you compare it with ascetically strict pattern of the pre-revolutionary decade. If you compare, for example, the excellent drawings from the nude model of the N. Ttyrs 1915 and the Figures of Lebedev 1926-1927 will strike the immediacy of Lebedev's sheets, their feelings.

This directness of Lebedev sketches from the model forced other art historians to remember the techniques of impressionism. Lebedev himself was deeply interested in impressionists. In one of its best drawings in the series "Acrobatka" (1926), a brush, a black watercolor, as if herself creates an energetic movement of the model. Artist is a fairly confident smear to discard the left hand, or one sliding touch to rush forward the direction of the elbow. In the series "Dancer" (1927), where light contrasts are weakened, associations with impressionism causes the elements of moving light. "From the permeated light of space," V.Petrov writes, "like a vision, the outlines of the dancing figure" she "appear barely outlined by the light spangling stains of the black watercolor", when "the form turns into a picturesque mass and is inconspicuously merged with a light-hearted medium."

It goes without saying that this Lebedev Impressionism is no longer equal to classical impressionism. Behind him you always feel the recently traveled master "Rule of Construction". And Lebedev and the Leningrad direction of the figure remained themselves, not for a minute not forgetting a constructed plane, nor about the pattern. In fact, creating the composition of the drawings, the artist reproduced not the space with the figure, as did the same degi, but rather one piece, as if merging her shape with a picture format. He barely cuts off the top of the head and the most tip of the foot, which is why the figure does not relieve about the floor, but rather "tapped" for the lower and top covers of the sheet. The artist seeks to bring the "figure plan" and the plane of the image. The pearl smear of its wet brush is equally belonging to the figure and the plane. These disappearing light strokes transmitting both the figure itself and as if the warmth warmed near the body of the air, simultaneously perceive and as a uniform texture of the drawing, associated with the smears of Chinese drawings in mascara and presented in the eye of the gentle "petals", thinly united to the surface of the sheet. Moreover, in Lebedev's "acrobatki" or "dancers", after all, the same chill of a confident-artistic and a slightly removed approach to the model was noted, what the characters of the "New Lodge" and "NEP" series were noted. In all these drawings, a generalized-classical basis is strong, so sharply distinguishing them from the sketches of the degiousness with their poetry of characterity or everyday life. So, in one of the brilliant sheets, where the ballerina is turned to the viewer with his back, with right legput on the left (1927) sock (1927), her figure resembles a porcelain statuette with sliding over the surface of a saint and light. According to N. Lunina, the artist found in the ballerina "the perfect and developed expression of the human body." "Here it is - this thin and plastic organism - it is developed, perhaps, a little artificially, but it turned out and is accurate in motion capable of" saying about life "more than any other, because it is less than the shapeless, non-subsided Case. " The artist really was interested not the most ballet, but the most expressive way to "tell life". After all, each of these sheets is like a lyrical poem dedicated to poetically valuable movement. Ballerina N. Nadejdin, who posted a master for both episodes, obviously helped him, stopping in those well-studied "positions", in which the life of the body has revealed the most impressive.

The excitement of the artist seems to break through the artistic correctness of confident skill, and then involuntarily transferred to the audience. In the same magnificent sketch of the ballerina from the back, the viewer with passion is watching how the virtuoso brush does not show so much how much creates an instantly frozen figure on the socks. Her legs spent two "petals of smears" are easily raised above the point of support, higher - as if the disappearing semolot - a wovels of snow-white bundle, even higher - after a few passes that give the picture aphoristic brevity - unusually sensitive, or "very hearing", back Dancers and no less "hearing" turn of her small head over a wide scope of shoulders.

When Lebedev was photographed at the 1928 exhibition, before him, it seemed to lay a promising road. A few years of hard work as if he was raised to the most vertices of graphic art. At the same time, both in the children's books of the 1920s, and in the "dancers" was, perhaps, such a degree of complete perfection was achieved, which, probably no longer a development path. And in fact, Lebedev's drawing and, moreover, the art of Lebedev reached here with its absolute vertex. The artist in subsequent years was very actively engaged in painting, a lot of children illustrated children's books for many years. And at the same time, all made by him in the 1930s of 1930s no longer followed in a comparison with the masterpieces of 1922-1927, and the master left behind the shoulders, of course, did not try to repeat. In particular, unfair not only for the artist himself, but for the whole of the art of the following years, Lebedev drawings remained with a female figure. If the subsequent era was impossible to attribute a decline in drawing from a naked model, then only because it was not interested in these topics at all. Only for last years As if it was planned with a fracture in relation to this very poetic and the most creatively noble sphere of drawing, and if so, that V. Lebedev among the drawers of the new generation, perhaps, was also prepared for new than new glory.
