Pictures and their names Pozdeev. Amazing artist Andrei Pozdeev

Today is the birthday of Andrei Pozdeev - "Siberian Matisse" would be 91 years old today. Meanwhile, our great countryman is not only roads to Krasnoyarsham, but also just roads. As far as I figured out the "Prospect of the World".

Today, Andrei Gennadevich's works - a lacking piece for collectors, assures director of Public Foundation Pozdeeva Valeria Guryanova. The artist's workshop stores more than 600 works, some of the paintings are in the country's museums and individuals. But from time to time, new - for example, they are found in cottages.

"Andrei often gave pictures to friends, friends go away, heirs left, who have situations where they are forced to sell them," says Guryanov. - In the heirs, the paintings are very cheap. I sometimes, after such sales, I speak Valentina Mikhailovna (PM, Widow, PM): "What didn't you call?" Not all the paintings by the artist signed, there are fakes, therefore we are often treated for expertise on authenticity.

About prices, she speaks only in common words: millions of rubles per canvas. The cost depends on the subjective circumstances - who sells and who buys, to which period they relate, what preferences from the buyer.

"Red holiday", A. G. Pozddeev, 1960s

The work of the initial period is in great demand - because they are less, they are harder to find them. The abstract work of the last period is less popular. "Sometimes people make up their collection, wanting to acquire early work of Pozdeev, and they have a very valuable" red holiday ", or city landscapes, or still lifes," says director. - Very often interested in "colors", rarely - portraits. As a result, the picture costs as much as they bought it. The price also affects the size of the canvas, and the rare theme. Propaging the creativity of Pozdeev, we involuntarily affect the value of work. The more valuable picture, the more often it is exhibited, the more reproduced on the network or in print editions, the more it is said about it. "

Museum works - those who can now see Krasnoyarsa are fundamentally sold, and they are the most valuable. Thus, according to the estimates of art appraisers, a series of seven works of Pozdeev, brought to the Museum Center "The Square of the World" from the city of Zelenogorsk, costs more than 10 million rubles.

Pictures of Pozdeev are in great demand, tells director of one of the oldest Krasnoyarsk art salons "Dar"Sergey Zadeyev. The artist can be put in one row with Anatoly sign, Boris Royuzov and Yuri Deev.

"The Krasnoyarsk school is considered one of the best in Russia," said the gallery driver. - You can one of the most expensive add Yuri Sudonogov, Gennady Gornsky, Vladimir Kappelko: their paintings are hanging in many galleries in the world, in serious collectors of Moscow and St. Petersburg, foreign countries. The most expensive sale of our salon is "still life" Pozdeev, which was sold for 550 thousand rubles. It is a bright, sunny canvas, on it. Chair, fruit, wine, glass. Now we will have another work at the price of 350 thousand, which, too, I think, will quickly take. In Moscow, Pozdeev is very expensive - at a price of 500 thousand rubles and higher, depending on the web. "

The price is formed in demand, explains the horses. Half of life, the artist works in the name, the second half the name works for him: "You need to give half a fullness to get honestly and become none of anyone, yourself. Then you will have a name, collectors will notice, art dealers. And we have 99% of artists make postcards. In the morning I started the work, I graduated from dinner. What is this work? Let him member of the Union of Artists, but he is a cardboard. And these artists have always been units. "

"Silence", A. G. Pozdeev, 1991

Under life, Andrei sold pictures only through the burdens, he says himself: "Procurement" price was 1 thousand dollars, a market - 1.2 thousand. About a 20% markup He honestly warned his client.

"They lived with Valentina Mikhailovna modestly, only retired," he remembers. - And he sold his work, only if it was necessary to buy canst and paints. I walked all my life in a simple degree racing, having cut off naked so as not to spend money. The widow left a big heritage, she hopes that the city will understand that this is a big artist, and will make a museum, like Ryazov, but our authorities will rather steal and go to the Maldives. From the heritage, the widow will not sell any painting, but the one who after her death will get work, will become a dollar millionaire.

"Sunny Day", Etude, A. G. Pozdeev, 1949

According to the art dealer and director of the Krasnoyarsk "Gallery of Fine Arts", the hopes of Voroshilova, the pricing is also influenced by the fact that Pozdeev is included in the World Rating of Artists of the XVIII-XXI centuries, forming world artistic heritage. The prices of the work of the Krasnoyarsk artist begin from 15 thousand rubles - for the simplest graphics, which is abundant in free access. Etudes Pozdeev can cost from 150 thousand rubles if they are not signed, and up to 350-500 thousand depending on the size and year of creation. It is impossible to install an upper bar: the price depends - and this converge all experts - from where and how the picture will be sold.

- If you sell lateev through international auctions, the price of his work will be significantly higher than to sell it in Russia - it's about millions of rubles for the picture, perhaps about dozens of millions, - Voroshilova notes. - The cost will influence the promotion of the artist. If the collector at auction wants to improve the status of work, the competition begins, and the price may be artificially overestimated even 20 times - in art and the cost is formed. I did not hear about sales for millions of rubles in Krasnoyarsk, in general, here the lowest prices are simply because there are no people who are ready to spend millions of dollars on the picture.

September 27 would be 90 years since the birth of Andrei Pozdeev. Artist legend. His paintings are exhibited in the Tretyakov Gallery. And Krasnoyarsm see his work practically nowhere. There is not a single permanent exhibition of the works of Andrei Pozdeev. The only place where the artist's paintings can be found is his creative workshop where he worked for the last 18 years of his life.

House artist

Pozddeev did not appreciate the marble stairs to receive gold prizes, was not invited to the parade techniques, was not crowned with laurels. He survived hunger and cold, was a concluded and a soldier, a fireman and a worker of art. But his painting is far from the maternity path of the artist. If it concerns life adversity, it represents them in a difficult allegorical form of the symbols invented by the artist himself, and therefore, needs to be deciphering and in the intense work of imagination. This is all that our contemporary, which went to the streets of the city with us.

The house where the artist's work lives today is at first glance an ordinary polystage in the center of Krasnoyarsk. Only looking around, it can be noted that on the last, seventh floor unusually high windows in the floor. These are workshops of artists.

The house is built specifically for them. And in 1980, Andrei Gennadevich gave an apartment here on the 6th floor. And the floor above he got a workshop. He chose himself, he needed a large wall and the maximum departure from her in order to write paintings of a large format. Just at this time, the artist conceived the biblical series for which a large panel was needed. As a result, wrote 15 works. Two today are in the Tretyakov Gallery: "Pier of Snove" and "Creation of the World", one - "Calvary" - in the Museum of Tsereteli. Other works are stored in China, they are raised by occasionally on holidays.

"He loved this workshop very much. Once in a conversation with friends, it turned out that this workshop is graphic. In it, the windows light: windows east and west, and rather dark. There were conversations about Albrecht Dürere (a well-known German schedule) and that he had a whole black workshop so that white sheets were visible better. Andrei Gennadevich caught fire and began to paint the workshop in black. Painted the floor, one of the walls and came to horror - it turned out very depressive. The wall immediately repainted into white, and the floor since then remained black. In general, we try to preserve this workshop in the form in which she was in the artist. Brushes, tubes with paint, household items, atmosphere, "says Valeria Guryanova, President of the Andrei Pozdeeva Foundation and a family friend.

Secret Pozdeev

Andrei Pozdeev born the extermination of Lower Ingash Krasnoyarsk Territory. He studied badly. But I draw from five years. In the 4th grade received a prize at the edge competition for the drawing, which was depicted Pushkin. At the beginning of the War, it was that Kamam's workers left for a Nakombinaya factory, hit the E6 email, where the wall newsnets made the stencils for tattoos.

At the age of 17 went to the front, fought on the Eastern Front. He wrote for officers who sent pictures to their wives. Then his commissioned, and he went to the tour to be treated. After moving to Minusinsk, where he worked in Martanovsky Museum. Returning to Krasnoyarsk, he entered the art school to the class of Andrei Prokopyevich Lekoklenko. In essence, he studied himself: drawing, mixing paints, graphics.

All his life, Pozdeev worked with Russian paints. Even when foreign began to appear, said: "I do not know their properties, I don't know how they mix." He created unusual colors. Even black was not flat and homogeneous, but composite. And artists who are trying to copy his work today, finding them not very complex on the composition, are in confusion. His drawings can be easily drawn by the grid and transfer to the canvas. But when it comes to the selection of color, the picture breaks down.

One of the main topics of creativity is flowers. Photo: AIF / Svetlana Khstik.

Flowers ohapkami

To say exactly how many paintings left Pozdeev, no one is taken. He wrote 72 years. Many works gave friends and acquaintances, they still have something to go somewhere in the cottages. Some destroyed. If they, in his opinion, did not fulfill the task that he put at the beginning of work. Valeria remembers how the artist wrote the painting "Ascension":

"This is a black and white work consisting of triangles. Absolutely abstract: Something rhombid suddenly wakes up. Uniform and symmetric both vertically and horizontally. He wrote her when one eye was already struck by the cataract. Very calmly and neatly a tassel painted the adjoining of black with white, said something at the same time. "

But if you look at this picture, it is full of not only expression, but also sacrality, because it is the ascension of Christ. Before her, I want to stop, as in the church in front of the icon.

Probably, each of us at the mention of the redemption presents his flowers. It is difficult to find an artist who is so tremendous and gently depicted roses, dahlias, gladiolus, asters, lilies and lilac. When the money appeared, I bought bouquets with oakhaps, as I wrote only from nature. From these paintings, it seems to be a sweet aroma.
Another famous theme - pillars. They are dedicated to the whole series - "Caltat". Caltat is a river in the reserve, where he came for a few days and worked with an oblivion.

At the end of his life, he returned to work with kind. It happened after the painting "Eve". On a purple background, a light figurine with red hair. The girl in order to positive him, made her hair for three years. In general, he did not choose people for nature. Often it happened by chance. Masters had many portraits of people who were generally in his workshop just once in life by chance.

Poor but free

Pozddeev - a unique artist also because until the end of the life remained faithful to his art. It was impossible to make it, he could not have a job. He was absolutely not sold to anyone and for any money. He said: "I want to be poor, because I want to be free." And many artists who worked to order, hung him very much. Although it was difficult to stand, the times were heavy. And for sure if he lived closer to Moscow, his, for this desire to be free, just would be destroyed. Tried in Krasnoyarsk.

"For many years, not only the personal exhibitions Pozdeev - his paintings were not exhibited at all. Clearovets chose them, printed the catalogs of the exhibitions, where his work was and, but they did not fall into the exhibitions. Cynically celebrated: "You, Andryusha, fall out, you'll hang up your job, so it is not clear that you have to hang around, everything is flexible," Valery recalls.

He lived very ascetic. Paints, canvas, materials - all this was debt. There was practically no income. Saved a pension on disability and wages of Wife Valentina Mikhailovna, teachers of the Russian language and literature. There was no title. The only reward is a silver medal.

A friend, faithful assistant and his beloved person for the artist, was a spouse. Every day exactly at two o'clock he descended from the workshop for lunch. When Andrei Gennadyevich was weak after illness, she, fragile, little woman, laughed his cassette, in which there were cardboard sheets of paper and etudes. And in the evenings I read Pushkin and kafku, whom he loved very much. Today she and Valeria Guryanov are engaged in the heritage of the artist. Valeria in the family Pozddeev for a long time. Valentina Mikhailovna's student often had a guest, helped the artist, cleaned up in the workshop, soap windows, was just around. When in 1998 the artist did not become, they decided to create a public foundation of his name with Valentina Mikhailovna. His main task is to preserve the artist's creativity.

It so happened that there is no place in the millionth city today where the continuous exhibition of the works of Andrei Pozdeev could be organized. In the anniversary year, about 500 of his paintings will be shown during the week: "Flowers", "initial period", "final period", "Print Graphics". And we have a unique chance to see them. Perhaps the only one.

Biography

Born in the family of postal officer Pozdeev Gennady Danilovich and his wife Evdokia Ivanovna.

He worked as an assistant to the Kochgar. During the Great Patriotic War served in the Far Eastern Fleet.

Painting began to comprehend independently: attended exhibitions, museums and galleries, studied the work of the great masters of the past, read books, wrote from nature. Subsequently graduated from the Krasnoyarsk Art School named after V. I. Surikov (Teacher - A. P. Dzhadzhnos).

Andrei Pozdeev about his understanding of the artist's creativity:

... The artist as a person is more individual. It allows himself what other people may not allow. But it lies a big duty: to give out, what it is. He is exposed, he is "naked". And he is obliged to have a head, think like a philosopher. Thought philosophers - an incredible thing. They talk about the same, but each from their individuality. And I still have to transmit color. And I must, if I "got" in this business for life - and here there is little life, - all the time to improve and develop until the very last day, but I have been released for fate.

Personal exhibitions of the artist took place in Tallinn museums (1984; with the assistance of O. Substibi) and Riga, in the State Museum, in the State Tretyakov Gallery, in the Central House of Artist in Moscow. Pictures of Andrei Pozdeev are in many museums of the world, including the Tretyakov Gallery and in the Russian Museum.

Andrei Gennadievich Pozdeev Born in the village of Nizhny Ingash Krasnoyarsk Territory, in the family of a post office. Being still a small child Andrei began to draw, and throughout his life without drawing, he could not imagine his life. In 1937, Pozdeev took part in the regional competition of children's drawing dedicated to the century of memory of Pushkin, and for the portrait of the poet received a cash prize.

Pozdeev is a graduate of the Krasnoyarsk Art School named after V. I. Surikov, a member of numerous exhibitions. At the very beginning of the war, Andrei Gennadevich began working at the Krasnoyarsk Combine factory. For having left for mom and grandmother, who lived then in the village of Tyujtte, received 6 months of prison on the "Stalin's Decree". In the colony constantly painted, drawing up wall newspaper and various "corners".

In 1943, he left the front to the front, served on the Far Eastern fleet. Demobilized due to the fact that he was seriously ill with tuberculosis. Pozdeev returned to the Krasnoyarsk Territory, in Minusinsk, where his family lived. Thanks to the miracle, Andrei Gennadievich was able to partially defeat the disease and continued to live, being in an infinite creative search, and draw.

Since 1956, Andrei Pozdeev began working in the artist-copist artist. In the fall of the same year, Pozdeev participated in the exhibition of works by Siberian artists, which was held in Irkutsk, and was adopted by a candidate for the members of the Krasnoyarsk Organization of the Union of Artists of the RSFSR. In the 60-70s, Andrei writes a lot from Nature Krasnoyarsk and its surroundings. At the same time, the artist wrote a large series of works called "Caltat" (by the name of the river in the Krasnoyarsk Reserve "Pillars").

Andrei Pozdeev participated in the regional and zonal exhibitions (there were 31 of them), from 1964 to 1997, 11 of its personal exhibitions took place: Krasnoyarsk, Novosibirsk, Norilsk, Tallinn, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Zelenogorsk. The artist appreciated the exhibitions, they helped summarize the made and find new creative approaches. In 1983, two paintings were presented at the exhibition "Soviet Russia" - "Dandelions", "Kuzmichye Polyana".

Pozdeev loved writing flowers. In different years, he portrayed them in different ways and created a huge number of paintings with the name "Bouquet" or "Flowers".

In the 80s, the Bible and books on Holy History included in the 1980s. Esoteric literature also caused great interest. In the new workshop, obtained by the artist in 1980, as a result of rethinking this literature, a cycle of works was created, which included such pictures as: "Calvary", "Praying about the Bow", "Creation of the World", the cycle "Man's life" other.

In the 1990s, exhibitions in Moscow and St. Petersburg were organized (State Russian Museum, 1996), albums were issued, several television programs were created, articles were published in central art journals.

Andrei Gennadyevich was a man sincere and looking for, his work at different times was distinguished by the technique of execution, originality of the vision and image of reality. Many of his works were condemned by some colleagues in the artistic workshop, the public, people who were accustomed to the clarity and traditionality of the drawing. But there were, of course, fans of his talent. Pozdeev had followers, those who studied, wringing his player to write. Andrei Gennadevich himself drew no one imitating, always followed his feelings and emotions.

In the works of Pozdeev, almost all the basic stages of world art are traced: realism - impressionism - postpressionism - Fovisism - abstractionism. For the artist, it was not a follow-up, it was not an imitation, but the embodiment of his personal consciousness. For him, it was the natural steps of personal creative growth.

The official recognition of Pozdeev began, perhaps from the first personal exhibition in Moscow in 1993. According to her results, he was nominated for a state bonus. In 1998, Andrei Pozdeev was awarded the diploma and a silver medal of the Russian Academy of Arts.

From 1992 to the present, 12 personal albums were published with reproductions of paintings by A. G. Pozdeev. His works are stored in different museums of the world, including in the Tretyakov Gallery and in the Russian Museum. The artist is in the collection of the Krasnoyarsk State Art Museum for a fairly large number of paintings. V. I. Surikova.

A. G. Pozdeev died in his workshop in Krasnoyarsk on July 12, 1998. He was buried at the Badalyk Cemetery of Krasnoyarsk.

In memory of the great artist in the historical center of Krasnoyarsk in 2000, the original bronze monument to Pozdeev, in the Krasnoyarsk secondary school No. 69 (ul. Shumyatsky, 3) was organized by a small museum.

Already on the outcome of the Great Patriotic War, it was called up to the army, served in the Far East - in Manchuria, on Kurilla. There he saw a bloody, dirty, non-paraphorous invitation of war, which was later reflected on many of his canvases. He also fell ill with a heavy form of tuberculosis.

Pozdeev came to conquer Krasnoyarsk. In 1948, Andrei Pozdeev, loaded by the cavisters and sheets of cardboard, was granted to Krasnoyarsk and immediately decided to show his work to artistical professionals. Pozdeeva supported Andrei Drugsoshiko, who strongly recommended him to enter an art school. Surikov school he graduated with honors.

Before, the artist came to his style, he copied the work of the classics for quite a long time, painted etudes. "I always loved to draw. Having finished the seventel, sent a statement and its drawings to the Omsk Art School. But then the war began, and my studies ended ... "Female sunny day

"Sails" when in 1974 in Krasnoyarsk was "with creak" the first personal exhibition of Pozdekov, our administrators and art historians were going to arrange a critical defeat on the discussion. But the undertaking did not work: among those who came to this discussion it was suddenly a lot of good and smart people who love to be glad and his paintings.

Portraits Judging by the first impression, Pozdeev and really "not from the world of this": indifferent to luxury, fashionable clothes and in general everything external, very far from a part and market fuss: Well, isn't the crank?

"... Anyway, a person will look like, not even externally - internally, and those who know him will recognize ..." His exhibitions are successfully held in Moscow, St. Petersburg, abroad, write about him, publish albums, luxury catalogs: And he has neither orders nor honored ranks. Only glory in which he does not want to "swim". "I do not need it!" - Typical excuse from all temptations. The excuse is not an eccentric, but the wiser.

Even the earliest, infertility landscapes and still lifes ("sea bass", "sunflowers") - they are also striking their brightness, harmoniousness, easy accuracy of composition and color. Flowers

Reserve "Pillars" "... Reserve" Pillars ". There is a hut, the twilight is all in colors. There I wrote a bunch of landscapes. There are animals go roam. What a miracle, that's a miracle! "

Siberian Picasso With all its originality, it is no longer in the context of global visual art. It can be safely put in one row with such famous masters like Picasso, Matisse, Clee, Kandinsky, a roll call with these artists is obvious.
