In the modern era of high-resolution pictures and the heyday of hyperrealism, Philip Barlow's work immediately attracts attention. However, a certain effort is required from the viewer in order to force himself to look at the blurred silhouettes and bright spots on the author's canvases. Probably, this is how people with myopia see the world without glasses and contact lenses.

Laurent Parsellier's sun bunnies

Laurent Parcelier's painting is a wonderful world in which there is neither sadness nor despondency. You will not find gloomy and rainy pictures with him. On his canvases there is a lot of light, air and bright colors, which the artist applies with characteristic recognizable strokes. This creates the feeling that the paintings are woven from a thousand sunbeams.

City dynamics in the works of Jeremy Mann

American artist Jeremy Mann paints dynamic portraits of a modern metropolis in oil on wood panels. “Abstract shapes, lines, contrast of light and dark spots - everything creates a picture that evokes the feeling that a person experiences in the crowd and bustle of the city, but can also express the calmness that one finds when contemplating quiet beauty,” says the artist.

Neil Simon's illusory world

In the paintings of the British artist Neil Simone, everything is not as it seems at first glance. “For me, the world around me is a series of fragile and constantly changing shapes, shadows and boundaries,” says Simon. And in his paintings, everything is really illusory and interconnected. Borders are washed away, and plots flow into each other.

The majestic and diverse Russian painting always pleases the audience with its inconstancy and perfection of artistic forms. This is the peculiarity of the works of famous masters of art. They always amazed with their extraordinary approach to work, reverent attitude to the feelings and sensations of each person. Perhaps that is why Russian artists so often depicted portrait compositions, which vividly combined emotional images and epic calm motives. No wonder Maxim Gorky once said that an artist is the heart of his country, the voice of an entire era. Indeed, the majestic and elegant paintings of Russian artists vividly convey the inspiration of their time. Like the aspirations of the famous author Anton Chekhov, many sought to bring into Russian paintings the unique flavor of their people, as well as an inextinguishable dream of beauty. It is difficult to underestimate the extraordinary canvases of these masters of majestic art, because truly extraordinary works of various genres were born under their brush. Academic painting, portrait, historical painting, landscape, works of Romanticism, Art Nouveau or Symbolism - all of them still bring joy and inspiration to their viewers. Everyone finds in them something more than colorful colors, graceful lines and inimitable genres of world art. Perhaps such an abundance of forms and images that surprise Russian painting is associated with the enormous potential of the surrounding world of artists. Even Levitan said that in every note of lush nature there is a majestic and extraordinary palette of colors. With such a beginning, there is a magnificent expanse for the artist's brush. Therefore, all Russian paintings are distinguished by their exquisite severity and attractive beauty, from which it is so difficult to break away.

Russian painting is rightfully distinguished from the world of art. The fact is that until the seventeenth century, Russian painting was associated exclusively with a religious theme. The situation changed with the coming to power of the tsar-reformer - Peter the Great. Thanks to his reforms, Russian masters began to engage in secular painting, there was a separation of icon painting as a separate direction. The seventeenth century is the time of artists such as Simon Ushakov and Joseph Vladimirov. Then, in the Russian art world, the portrait was born and quickly became popular. In the eighteenth century, the first artists appeared who switched from portrait painting to landscape painting. A pronounced sympathy of the masters for winter panoramas is noticeable. The eighteenth century was also remembered for the birth of everyday painting. In the nineteenth century, as many as three trends gained popularity in Russia: romanticism, realism and classicism. As before, Russian artists continued to turn to the portrait genre. It was then that world famous portraits and self-portraits of O. Kiprensky and V. Tropinin appeared. In the second half of the nineteenth century, artists more and more often depict the simple Russian people in their oppressed state. Realism becomes the central trend in painting of this period. It was then that the Wanderers appeared, depicting only real, real life. Well, the twentieth century is, of course, the avant-garde. The artists of that time greatly influenced both their followers in Russia and around the world. Their paintings became the forerunners of abstract art. Russian painting is a huge amazing world of talented artists who glorified Russia with their creations

"The beauty of nature in the paintings of Russian artists"

I ... Introduction.

Nature in folk culture is inseparable from man; his thoughts, feelings, life. The Russian artistic tradition has left us the names of many poets, writers, artists, musicians who have touched the theme of nature in their work.

Nature is our habitat. How can you live without the noise of foliage lit by sunlight or cool rain? How can you live without the smell of flowers, grass, black soil? How can you live without seeing the glitter of snowflakes in the moonlight and scarlet rowan clusters against the backdrop of a dazzling white distance? Or without the delightful thrill of the soul, only the first spring rays of the sun ?!Our homeland possesses innumerable natural resources, it has greatness in front of man: its striking beauty, from which it takes your breath away, formidable winter storms, deep rivers, high cliffs, various animals inhabiting Russia. All this is nature. All of this is inspiration. Nature is a real temple of beauty, and it is no coincidence that all poets, artists, musicians drew their ideas from observing them in a natural environment.

Inspiration is what it takes to create a work of art in music, painting or literature. It is fully given by nature to man. And in Russia she is very rich. Our country is especially beautiful. Here there is cold and heat, and hopeless forests, and desert plains, and majestic mountains, even the deepest lake in the world - Baikal. From one species of birch grove, tears of happiness and enlightenment begin to flow!

Also, now in our country the topic of nature protection is very relevant. People are often indifferent to this, but this is not correct. Do we have the right to destroy and spoil what is given to us? Think about it! Let's take care of our priceless nature and admire it, as great people of art did!

The purpose of my work :

1. To draw the attention of my peers to the theme of native nature in art;

Tasks:

    Get acquainted with the work of Russian artists who embodied the images of nature in their work;

    To reveal a sense of patriotism through the images of nature in art;

    Education of patriotism for the surrounding reality and respect for the native nature.

II ... Main part

Consider the creations of artists about different seasons in order to understand what feelings they experience at each time, and how they express them in their works. The seasons in painting are a special theme in the landscapes of pictures of nature by Russian artists, because nothing touches so sensitively as the change in the appearance of nature in accordance with the seasons. Along with the season, the mood of nature changes, which with the ease of the artist's brush is conveyed by paintings in painting.

1. "Frost and sun ... A wonderful day"

Winter! Our homeland is famous for its Russian winters. This is the unique beauty of Russian forests and fields under a white blanket of snow. These are bullfinches with bright breasts sitting on rowan bunches. At this time, it seems as if all nature freezes, and the usual sounds of the city subside until spring, as in the picture of A.M. Vasnetsov "Winter Dream".

Winter in the paintings of Russian artists is a fabulous time of serene splendor, when nature sleeps and rests, hiding under a snow-white blanket, amazingly beautiful landscapes of Russian winter that reveal the true winter nature.

I.E. Grabar "February Azure"

V.G. Tsyplakov "Frost and Sun"

S.Yu. Zhukovsky "Winter"

Winter is loved in Russia, but despite this, it is usually associated with cold weather and sad thoughts.

I. Levitan "In the winter in the forest"

2. How light, how elegant is spring!

Ah spring! Time of love, flowering, happiness! The transparent air is filled with delightful smells of the approaching heat and sun. At this time of the year, all nature comes to life, wakes up after a winter sleep. And how beautiful it wakes up! Everywhere there are the sounds of streams, birdsong, the snow is melting, and the spring rays shine on the water.

A. Gritsay "April in the forest"

One of the founders of the Russian landscape school, Alexei Kondratyevich Savrasov, was very sensitive to spring.

A.K. Savrasov "The Rooks Have Arrived"

He has a lot of paintings depicting this time of year. Levitan, Savrasov's favorite student, notes: "With Savrasov, lyrics appeared in landscape painting and boundless love for his native land." When K. Paustovsky came one spring to the workshop of the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture, Savrasov shouted to his students: “Drive the sun onto the canvas! The spring warmth has been missed! The snow was melting, running through the ravines in cold water - why didn't I see this on your sketches? The lindens were blooming, the rains were as if it was not water, but silver pouring from the sky - where is all this on your canvases? Shame and nonsense! " Also, Savrasov's contemporaries preserved his words that there is no landscape without air: "... How many birches and spruce trees you plant, what do not invent, if you do not write the air ... the landscape is rubbish."

I. Levitan “Spring. Big water "

I. Levitan "March"

Spring in the paintings of Russian artists conceals the tenderness of the awakening of nature from winter sleep in the bright colors of the sun, reflected in the glitter of the melting March snow, in the rich colors of the grass, leaves and blossoms of spring landscapes reaching out to the sun.

I. Ostroukhov "The First Green"

I. Levitan "Apple trees are blooming"

3. “Summer is a sea of ​​sun, light and warmth. It's time for joy "

Everyone loves summer! How not to love green forests and fertile fields, warm rivers, where, with the arrival of summer, people like to swim, the constant light of the sun floating in the petals of fragrant flowers.

A.A. Layers "Haymaking"

A.A. Rylov "Field mountain ash"

Summer in the paintings of Russian artists is saturated with the harmony of warmth and the fragrance of greenery, now slightly tired sultry heat, now soaked in refreshing moisture after a warm summer rain in the colors of the splendor of the nature of Russian landscapes.

I. Levitan "Birch Grove"

I.I. Shishkin "Oak Grove"

I.I. Shishkin "Pines illuminated by the sun"

F. Vasiliev "Wet meadow"

4. "Golden foliage began to spin ..."

Autumn in the paintings of Russian artists is the brightest and most touching time, where the red-yellow, golden and warm colors of the beautiful time of Indian summer, and where the rainy and touching landscape of truly Russian nature in all its autumn splendor. The painting "Golden Autumn" by Vasily Dmitrievich Polenov fits this vision of autumn.

He is an outstanding Russian artist who left a significant mark on the development of the Russian landscape school. The painting depicts an autumn forest and a lake, which reflects the redness of the trees. This is a captivating landscape, indeed, “forests clad in crimson and gold”. Here is just that “rare ray of the sun”, and in its light the foliage of birches becomes even brighter, more dazzling.

I. Levitan "Golden Autumn"

HER. Volkov “Golden Autumn. Quiet river "

In the fall, we say goodbye to summer fun, warmth, and get ready for winter. This, of course, leads to sad thoughts. Autumn colors are full of longing for the lost warmth. Pictures acquire gray, rainy, cold colors.

I. Levitan "Autumn"

I. Levitan “Autumn. The road in the village "

III ... Conclusion.

So, we enjoyed the landscapes of Russian artists. All this could not but affect our thoughts about the captivating beauty and soul of the nature of our native lands. We must not forget what surrounds us every second, which gives us life and even more happiness. Stop even for a moment, take a look at what you usually do not attach much importance to and pass by, hurrying about your everyday affairs! Take a look, and you will forget about vanity, about problems tormenting your soul, and even about pain. Immerse yourself in another world, where there are no usual worries, but there is only the singing of birds, the azure sky, enchanting smells and heavenly views of nature. And, of course, we should be proud of the nature of Russia, because no one else has such diversity and space. Love your homeland, preserve and respect its nature!
