The canvas on the themes of festive provincial life are different, only for Kustodiev characteristic brightness, multicolored and the vitality of the smallest details. Folk holidays and festivities have reflected in many works of the artist of different years. Becpending the student of the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts, Kustodiev the theme of his thesis chose a picture on a similar plot. He traveled around the villages, wrote etudes - portraits of peasants, landscape sketches, genre scenes. The same topic also includes the "christmas bargain" - a work created by the artist in 1918.
Hitting the life and morals of the Russian province, Kustodiev surprisingly combined painting with verbal and musical folklore - with a song and a fairy tale. Attentive, thoughtful viewer not only sees, but also "hears" the artist's work. Written, most likely, in memory, the picture does not have an accurate geographical address - this is Russia at all, not the Astrakhan or Kostroma Christmas Bazaar. The effect on the canvas is as if "in some kingdom, in some state." The spacious sky and the gilded domes of the church over a fussy human anthill - who are only not among this motley crowd! Real wonderfully combined with fantastic: colorful tale, full of living parts, appears before us. And the artist, as if a real storyteller, emphasized everything funny, toy, which is in this uncomplicated narration, hiding everything serious that could be in it hidden. The Christmas Bazaar is depicted by an artist as a festive spectacle. The pattern of the picture resembles a stage platform. The location of the figures, at first glance, is given chaotic: the image can be continued and right, and left. The impertness of the composition, its peculiar fluidity even more strengthens this is the overall impression.
A great place is allocated in this genre scene. The scenery - fabulous seems to be church domes on the background of a snow-covered sky, ate was removed into elegant winter clothes - the main object of bargaining at the fair. The brush smear on the canvas artist did easily, smoothly, even somehow delicately. Large importance attached to the line of line, drawing, playing color spots. Light in this case does not matter much, the light becomes very conditional. Local color spots form a harmonious decorative whole. The sky closed with clouds does not have depth, the dome of the church is intense in color, so that the difference of plans is reduced almost.
On the one hand, the bush is notified and transferred to the canvas genuine types of the Russian province, the real atmosphere of the pre-New Year fuss is transferred and on the other - a festive performance, a costume performance with beautiful scenery is playing in front of us by the artist. Joyful, with nothing with a comparable feeling of fullness of life and movement permeates the canvas. Life in this work is visible everywhere: the people are happy and fussy, in the sky draws his intricate snowy winter patterns in the sky, and all this action will enhance the fresh coniferous aroma of the ate-beauties.
The world in the picture of Kustodiev is similar to the magic light with ever-changing pictures - you can endlessly observe his diverse, so simple, Nomudren and at the same time a complete deep meaning of life. The blue and gentle-white paint paintings are packed, pleased, as if they burn, creating a gentle and poetic atmosphere of the miracle standby on the eve of the holiday - timeless, always modern. They remind us eternally busy and anywhere in a hurry that everything in this world is fine that life is amazing already because it is life.

In the painting "In the cellar on a batch week", Solomatkin depicts his favorite heroes - stray musicians. Talent is a burden or gift, happiness or curse? Talent is fate. The artist himself and his heroes did not make talent happy, but they with dignity fulfill their destination. The musicians depicted in the picture knew the best days. The Cello, which plays an old man is a professional tool that allows the musician to qualify for a certain chosenness, indicating a certain level of living, remaining in the past. The old man is accompanied by a boy blowing on him on a pipe. Apparently, for the sake of this boy, carefully covered with a warm scarf, the old man has to wander with a heavy zucchini tool in a zucchini, earning bread. In the room there is a Christmas tree decorated with toys, and masks and masquerade costumes hang on the hanger, giving all this a phantasmagoric tint. Art Gallery Fund Generations KhMAO Ugra

Picture as a photo from a family album. The artist Zinaida Serebryakova, dressed up the daughter of Katya in the blue blouse and the powdered tri-fingell, did not lend it to the new-fashioned photo equipment. In the best family traditions, the descendants of Benouu and Lancer - took the paper and pastel and "stopped a moment" at the home tree. The picture instead of the family archive fell into the collection of the Pushkin Museum. The girl after just two years old became a Parisian. Fancy birds on the home tree - one of the last children's impressions about Russia.
