Apparently, "fog in a pine forest", successfully exposed at a mobile exhibition in Moscow (now in the private assembly in Czechoslovakia) gave rise to Shishkin and Savitsky a mutual desire to write a similar landscape in the motive with the inclusion of a kind of genre scene with fried bears. After all, the leitmotif of the famous picture of 1889 is just fog in a pine forest. Judging by the description of the landscape in Czechoslovakia, the back plan for it with a plot of dense forest resembles the distant type of the painting of the painting in the pine forest, belonging to the State Tretyakov Gallery. And this once again confirms the possibility of the relationship of both paintings. Apparently, in the sketch of Shishkin (that is, as they were conceived by a landscape system), Savitsky and wrote bears in the very picture. These bears with some differences in the poses and in quantities (first there were two) appear in all the preparatory sketches and sketches of Shishkin. And there were a lot of them. In one of the state Russian museum, seven pencil sketches are stored. The bears turned out from Savitsky so fortunate that he even signed together with Shishkin in the picture. However, I got it removed the signature, deciding to approve for this picture only the authorship of Shishkin. After all, in it, "since the plan and ending with the fulfillment, everything speaks about the manner of painting, about the creative method characteristic of Shishkin."

About Shishkina said: "He realist is convinced, a realist to the brain of bones, deeply feeling and hotly loving nature ...". But at the same time the artist designs a landscape, theatrilizes him, offering a certain "natural performance".

An entertaining genre motive introduced into the picture has largely promoted its popularity, but the true value of the work was a perfectly pronounced state of nature. This is not just a deaf pine forest, namely the morning in the forest with it that has not yet dreamed of fog, with easily peashed tops of huge pines, cold shadows in the bowls. Felt depth of ravine, wilderness. The presence of a bear family, located on the edge of this ravine, gives rise to the viewer the feeling of remoteness and deafness of the wild forest.

"Russia is a country of landscapes," said Shishkin. They created a lot of artistic scenery symbols of Russia, and the picture is for many generations of people on the entire planet with one of these characters.

So it happened that for packing candies "Bear Kosolapiy" and their analogs of the eyelid, designers chose the picture of Shishkin and Savitsky. And if Shishkin is known in forest landscapes, then Savitsky was remembered with exclusive bears with a wide viewer.

With the rare exception to the plot of Pictures of Shishkin (if you look at this question wide) one - nature. Ivan Ivanovich - enthusiastic, in love contemplator. And the viewer becomes eyewitty of a show of a painter with native expanses.

Shishkin was an unusual forest connoisseur. About the trees of different breeds, he knew everything and noticed the error in the picture. At the plenies, the students of the artist were ready in the literal sense to hide in the bushes, just not to hear the spread in the spirit "such a birch cannot be" or "these pines of Butaforski".

As for people and animals, they occasionally appeared in the paintings of Ivan Ivanovich, but were rather the background, rather than the object of attention. "Morning in a pine forest" is perhaps the only canvas where the bears compete with the forest. For this thanks to one of the best friends Shishkin - the artist Konstantin Savitsky.

The design of the painting was suggested by Shishkin Savitsky, who later performed as a co-author and depicted the figures of the bear. These bears with some differences in poses and quantities (first there were two of them) appear in the preparatory drawings and sketches. Animals turned out from Savitsky so successfully that he even signed in the picture along with Shishkin. Savitsky himself told his relatives: "The picture is sold for 4 thousand, and I am a member of the 4th share."

"Morning in a pine forest" - a picture of Russian artists Ivan Shishkin and Konstantin Savitsky. Savitsky wrote bears, but the collector Paul Tretyakov Stir his signature, so the picture by the picture is often indicated by one Shishkin.

The picture details the state of nature, seen by the artist on the island of Goromba. It is shown not a deaf dense forest, but the sunlight, breaking through the columns of high trees. The depth of ravines, the power of century-old trees, is, sunlight, as it were, timidly looks in this dense forest. Sensing the morning frozen bearings.

"Morning in a pine forest" is the most famous picture of Ivan Shishkin. No, take above. This is the most popular picture in Russia.

But this fact, as it seems to me, the masterpiece brings little use. Even hurts him.

When too popular, she flashes everywhere and everywhere. In each tutorial. On the candy wrappers (where is the mad painting popularity and started 100 years ago).

As a result, the viewer disappears interest in the picture. We slip on it a rapid look with the thought "A, it's again ...". And pass by.

For the same reason, I did not write about her. Although for several years I write articles about masterpieces. And it would be possible to be surprised how I went past this blockbuster. But now you know why.

I'm fixed. For I want to look at Shishkin's masterpiece with you more closely.

Why "Morning in a Pine Forest" - masterpiece

Shishkin was a realistic to the bone's brain. He portrayed the forest is very believable. Carefully picking up colors. Such a realism easily delays the viewer into the picture.

Look at least for color solutions.

Pale emerald needles in the shade. Light green color of young grass in the rays of the morning sun. Dark covers on the tree fallen.

The fog is also keen from a combination of different shades. Greenish in shade. Blue in light. And goes into yellowness closer to the tops of the trees.

All this complexity creates the overall impression of the presence in this forest. You touch this forest. And not just see him. Mastery is incredible.

But Shishkin's paintings, alas, often compare with photos. Considering the masters deeply old-fashioned. Why such realism, if there are photo images?

I do not agree with such a position. It is important which perspective chooses the artist, what lighting, what fog and even moss. All this in the aggregate reveals a piece of forest with a special side. So, as we would not see him. But we see - the eyes of the artist.

And through his view, we experience pleasant emotions: delight, inspiration, nostalgia. And in this, it makes sense: to encourage the viewer for a mental response.

Savitsky - Assistant or masterpiece co-author?

The story with the co-authorship of Konstantin Savitsky seems strange for me. In all sources, you will read that Savitsky was an animal, so I volunteered to help your friend Shishkin. Like, such realistic bears - his merit.

But if you look at the works of Savitsky, then you will immediately understand that animalism is not the main genre.

He was typical. He wrote often the poor. Rada with paintings for disadvantaged. Here is one of the outstanding works "Meeting Icons".

Yes, on it, in addition to the crowd, there are also horses. Savitsky really knew how to portray them very realistic.

But Shishkin also easily coped with such a task if you look at his animal work. In my opinion, he did not get worse than Savitsky.

Therefore, it is not entirely clear why to write stomachs of Shishkin instructed Savitsky. I am sure, he would have coped himself. They were friends. Perhaps it was an attempt to help a friend financially? Shishkin was more successful. I received serious money for my paintings.

For the Bear Savitsky received from Shishkin 1/4 of the fee - as much as 1000 rubles (it is about 0.5 million rubles for our money!) It is unlikely that Savitsky could have been able to get for the whole work.

Formally, the Tretyakov was right. After all, the whole composition was thought out Shishkin. Even poses and the location of the bears. It is obvious if you look at the sketches.

Co-authorship as a phenomenon in Russian painting

In addition, this is not the first such case in Russian painting. I immediately remembered the picture of the Aivazovsky "Farewell to Pushkin with the Sea". Pushkin on the picture of the Great Marinist wrote ... Ilya Repin.

But his name in the picture is not. Although it is not a bears. Still, the great poet. Which is not just realistic to portray. But to be expressive. To ensure that the faschant with the sea in the eyes was read.

Ivan Aivazovsky (in collaboration with I. Repin). Farewell to Pushkin with the sea. 1877 All-Russian Museum of A.S. Pushkin, St. Petersburg. Wikipedia.org.

In my opinion, this task is more complicated than the image of the bears. Nevertheless, the repin on the co-authorship did not insist. On the contrary, it was not enough to work together with Great Aivazovsky.

Savitsky was more proud. Tretyakov was offended. But with shishkina continued to be friends.

But we cannot deny that this picture would not become the most recognizable picture of the artist. It would be the next masterpiece Shishkin. Majestic and breathtaking landscape.

But so popular he would not. It was the bears that played a role. And it means to completely discharge the Savitsky bills.

How to re-discover "Morning in the Pine Forest"

And in conclusion again I want to return to the problem of overdose by the image of the masterpiece. How to look at it with a fresh look?

I think it's possible. To do this, look at a little-known sketch for the picture.

It is made fast strokes. Figures of bears are only planned and written by the Shishkin himself. Especially impressive light in the form of gold vertical smears.

Ivan Ivanovich Shishkin (1832-1898) - a great painter artist. He, like no other, passed the beauty of his native nature through his canvas. Looking at his paintings, many makes the impression that there is still a little bit and breeze or hearing the singing of birds.

In 20 years I.I. Shishkin entered the Moscow School of Painting and Sculpture, where the teachers helped him learn from the field of painting, to whom he followed his whole life.

Without a doubt, "Morning in the Pine Forest" is one of the most popular artist's paintings. However, this canvas Shishkin wrote not alone. Bears were drawn by Konstantin Savitsky. Initially, in the picture there were signatures of both artists, but when she was brought to the buyer Pavel Tretyakov, he ordered the name of Savitsky to erase the name, explaining that he ordered the picture only Shishkin.

Description of the painting "Morning in the Pine Forest"

Year: 1889.

canvas, oil, 139 × 213 cm

Tretyakovskaya Gallery, Moscow

"Morning in the Pine Forest" - a masterpiece that radiates the admiration of the nature of Russia. On the canvas, everything looks very harmonious. The effect of the awakening nature of nature workshk is created by green, blue and bright yellow tones. In the background of the painting, we see barely breaking rays of the sun, they are depicted with bright golden shades.

The artist is so realistic portrayed by Smelling on the ground fog, that even you can feel the coolness of the summer morning.

The painting "Morning in the Pine Forest" is so bright and vividly drawn, which is similar to the photograph of the forest landscape. Shishkin professionally and with love portrayed every detail of the canvas. In the foreground, bears, climbing on the sinage, are located. Their frisky game causes only positive emotions. It seems that the cubs are very kind and harmless, and the morning for them is a holiday.

The most bright and saturated artist portrayed bears in the foreground and sunlight in the background. All other facilities of the web look like light supplementary sketches.

Surprisingly, how can the life of the work of art that came out from under the brush of the wizard. The canvas I. Shishkin "Morning in the Pine Forest" know everything and mostly as the painting "Three Bear". The paradox consists also in the fact that four bears are depicted on the canvas, which made a magnificent genurine K. A. Savitsky.

Little from biography I. Shishkin

The future artist was born in Elabuga in 1832, on January 13, in the family of a poor merchant, who was fascinated by local history and archaeology. He passed his knowledge with his hobby. Kazan gymnasium The boy threw to visit after the fifth grade, and spent all his free time, drawing from nature. Then he graduated from not only the School of Painting in Moscow, but also the Academy in St. Petersburg. His talent of the landscape player was quite determined by this time. A young artist after a short passion journey left to his native places, where he wrote a man's untouched man. He put up his new works at the exhibitions of the Mobile, amazing and admiring the audience with almost photographic truthfulness of her canvases. But the most famous painting "Three Bear", written in 1889.

Friend and co-author Konstantin Apollonovich Savitsky

K.A. Savitsky was born in Taganrog in the family of a military physician in 1844. He graduated from the Academy in St. Petersburg and continued to improve his skills in Paris. When he returned, his first work acquired for his collection P. M. Tretyakov. Since the 70s of the XIX century, the artist exhibited his most interesting genre work at the exhibitions of the Mobile. K. A. Savitsky quickly acquired popularity among the general public. The author especially likes his canvas "with unclean it is known", which can now be seen in the GTG. Shishkin and Savitsky made friends so firmly that Ivan Ivanovich asked to become his friend with the godfather's father of his son. On the mountain, both boy died in three years. And then other tragedies swept over them. Both buried their wives. Shishkin, conquering the will of the Creator, believed that the troubles open in it. He appreciated the big talent and his friend. Therefore, it is not surprising that K.A. Savitsky became co-author of the "Three Bear" picture. Although Ivan Ivanovich himself knew animals perfectly perfectly.

"Three Bear": painting description

Art historians honestly admit that they do not know the history of creating a picture. Her idea, the very idea of \u200b\u200bthe canvas originated, apparently, when searching for nature on one of the major islands of Seliger Gorombo. Night retreats. Warm dawn. The first rays of the sun make their way through thick trunks of trees and rising from the lake fog. One powerful pine is pulled with roots from the ground and half is broken and occupies the central part of the composition. Her debris with a dried crown falls into the ravine on the right. It is not written, but his presence is felt. And what kind of rich paints used a landscape! Cool morning air blue-green color, slightly littered and foggy. The mood of the wakeful nature is transmitted by green, blue and sunny-yellow paints. In the background, golden rays in high crowns are bright. In all work, I. Shishkin is felt.

Meeting of two friends

Show new work Ivan Ivanovich wanted to his friend. Savitsky came to the workshop. That's where questions appear. Either Shishkin offered Konstantin Apollonovich to add three bears in the picture, or Savitsky himself looked at her with a fresh look and made a proposal to introduce an animal element into it. This undoubtedly had to revive a desert landscape. So it was done. Savitsky is very successful, very organically inscribed four animals on the sovereign tree. The full cheerful cubs turned out like small children who frolic and know the world under the supervision of a strict mother. He just like Ivan Ivanovich, signed on canvas. But when the picture of Shishkin "Three Bear" came to P. M. Tretyakov, he paid money, demanded to wash off Savitsky's signature, as the main work was made by Ivan Ivanovich, and his style was indisputable. This can finish the description of the painting of Shishkin "Three Bear". But this story has a "sweet" continuation.

Confectionery factory

In the 70s of the XIX century, enterprising Germans Eine and Gaces built a confectionery factory in Moscow, which produced very high-quality candies, cookies and other similar products. To increase sales, an advertising proposal was invented: on the candle to print the reproductions of Russian paintings, and on the turn - brief information about the picture. It turned out and delicious, and informative. Now it is unknown when the resolution of P. Tretyakov was received to bring reproductions of paintings from his collection to candy, but on one of the candy, where the painting "Three Bear" Shishkin is depicted, it is worth a year - 1896

After the revolution, the factory expanded, and V. Mayakovsky inspired and composed advertising, which was published on the side of the candy. She urged to save money in Sberkassa to buy delicious but dear candy. And until today in any network store you can buy a "clubbird", which I remember all the sweet tooths as "Three Bear". The same name was fixed for the picture I. Shishkin.
