On February 12, 1872, Witold Kaetanovich Bialynitsky-Biruli was born in the village of Mogilev Province in the village of Mogilev province in the family of a small tenant. Although he lived most of his life in Moscow, Belarusian nature, among which his childhood passed, involuntarily penetrated the canvas. He was called Belarusian Levitan, whose creativity praised Repin, and the picture was still only a student in the famous Tretyakov collection.He wrote about his childhood: " I am Belarus ... Father served by the tenant, then in the Dnieper shipping company. Going to Flights on Dnieper, Pripyati, sorry, often took me to your office trips. It was the greatest happiness and joy, since just then, in those trips, I discovered for myself an incomparable nature of my dear Belarus".
In 1885, he graduated from the course in the Vladimir Cadet Corps in Kiev and then began to seriously engage in art, entered the Kiev drawing school N.I. Murashko and then at 17 years old in the Moscow School of Painting, Scary and Architecture.

And his picture "Hour silence" was awarded an honorary medal at the Munich International Festival and Bronze in Barcelona.
In search of his style, he sought to truthfulness and simplicity and was constantly improved, seeking freshness and sincerity. The approach to the creativity of Bialynitsky-Biruli can be traced in his letters: " Days are irremitted and most of them are not repeated. Yesterday she walked, admired the place and decided to write an etude here; Today I came to the same place (here even a twig emanated to clarify where to sit and write), and the "place" disappeared: yesterday there were pearl clouds, against the background of which naked birchings were drawn, and today the heavens are smooth, and today You yourself are some other, not yesterday. We, artists, should go through every hour spent on nature, on this. Extremely important is the first impression of the place that you are going to write. This impression must be kept, keeping during the whole work on the etud.".

_____________________
When they call the name of Vitold Caethanovich Bialynitsky-Biuruli, in consciousness there are captivating images of their native nature. I began to melt the snow - and its white cover is disturbed with dark stains of the expusing earth, the leaf, cold water of the river flows wide ribbon. Such a fragile, touching the first greens appeared; And in the remote spring air goes into a transparent distance, becoming violet, thickets have not yet selected shrubs.
And there are images inspected by autumn nature. The beauty of the autumnal gold of parks alleys and forest edges with flaming bunches of rippers and branches of crimson leaves. Bright greens of distant ozimes are combined with heavy, black with blue vapors. Against the background of the low gray sky, the trees lost foliage. Restless ripples were covered with sharp rustling of northern wind water.
And then further - the paintings of the Russian winter with pink frosty mornings, with traceings and groves covered with fluffy snow cover. And all this is seen through the eyes of the artist, gently loving the nature of his country Iat Lyubov transmitting those who are found from the works created by him.
Witold Kaetanovich Bialynitsky-Birulya was born in Belarus in the town of Bialynichi in 1872. He received the first lessons of painting in Kiev, in the enjoyed wide fame of the drawing school N. I. Murashko. Professional skills acquired here helped Bialynitsky-Biarly, when he was 17 years old, to enter the Moscow School of Painting, sculpture. In the school beginning, the artist passed a large, serious school of realistic art. Among the teachers who have been engaged in both the representatives of the older generation of mobileians and their traditions developing more young realist artists.
V. K. Bialynitsky-Birulya so recalls the years of his stay in the school: "In the primary class, he taught at that time S. A. Korovin, in the head - N. V. Nerv, in figure - P. M. Pernichnikov. I have done them all. But the favorite was spanking. This wonderful teacher I studied two years. Spanking knew how to fix the school etude with one or two strokes. "Throw to draw coal, you need to brush" , "he said, and in these words with emergency brightness, his views on painting were expressed ... The spindles had a strong influence on me with their ability to grab the phenomenon in his vitality. And Korovina I am obliged to understand the etude, as definitions of the main relationship inside the designed motive.
Light and shadow, sky and earth, private and general-bind all this together Sergey Korovin helped. Looking back in the past, you realize that the authority of the nurse was rooted in that this artist was undoubtedly a real painter. Epizodically happened to me to work in the workshop V. D. Polenov - I wrote still life. "
At the annual student exhibitions, open to wide review, the pictures of Bialynitsky-Birulya have attracted attention. In the 16th exhibition catalog of 1893, his work was reproduced "Caps". In 1897 his picture "From the surroundings of Pyatigorsk" acquired for its then already famous gallery P. M. Tretyakov. It was the largest event in the biography of a young artist, who had just entered the path of independent work. The acquisition of the picture by the deepest connoisseur and the connoisseur of Russian art marked the beginning of the public recognition of the creativity of Bialynitsky-Borul.
In this early work of the artist, there is the freshness of the perception of nature, which will always be characteristic of him. Written in traditions cultured in the Moscow School, this landscape also captivates the tempering and harmonious harmony of his flavor. True, there are no more deep lyrism in it, which then becomes an integral line of landscapes created by V. K. Bialynitsky-Borul.
Since 1897, the artist begins to systematically show his paintings at the exhibitions of the Moscow Society of Artists and the Moscow Association of Artists. Finally, in 1899, the works of V. K. Bialynitsky-Biruly appear at the mobile exhibition. Further creative biography of painter is inextricably linked with the partnership of mobile art exhibitions, which united artists represented by the progressive democratic wing of Russian artistic culture. A number of years V. K. Bialynitsky-Birulya is exhibited as an exhibitor, from 1905 - a member of the partnership.
During the years of study, Bialynitsky-Borulu from the largest masters of realism of the CII century, during the first of its speeches at exhibitions, the main features of the artist's creative individuality are the truthfulness, the content of artistic images, deeply emotional, lyrical perception of nature, a high culture of pictorial skills. His landscapes are inherent in a pronounced national character: they are inextricably linked with the line of democratic realism in the Russian landscape school, which goes back to Savrasov. This is a "mood landscape." But the "mood" here is not to print subjectivism in the perception of nature. On the contrary, it is inextricably linked with a deeply realistic understanding of nature, the ever-updated life, which she is full. As you know, this line of development of the Russian landscape found an exceptionally vivid expression in the creative activity of Levitan. V. K. Bialynitsky-Borulu is always with a special warmth and with a sense of great gratefulness recalls Levitan, as an artist who played a significant role in his creative self-determination.
The deep philosophical content of the paintings of Levitan, the wealth of human feelings expressed in them, the great value of the motive, as the poetic basis of the figurative picture of the painting, is that the features of the creativity of the Great Russian landscape player who had a particularly deep impact on Bialynitsky-Boruli.
V. K. Bialynitsky-Bnerulya writes a number of paintings for which he is awarded awards at exhibitions. His works are purchased for museums. The picture "By Spring" lovers, which shown in the XIX exhibition, brings V. K. Bialynitskomu-Birulya, the first prize for the landscape at the Society Competition 1899. In 1901, a gold medal marks a picture "Eternal snow", asposed in the Caucasian anniversary exhibition.
Great success falls on V. K. Bialynitsky-Biruly in 1911, when he receives a gold medal at the Munich exhibition for the painting "hour of silence". In the same year, at the exhibition in Barcelona, \u200b\u200bthey received the second gold medal for the painting "in front of the spring". In 1904, the Museum of the Academy of Arts is bought by Painting V. K. Bialynitsky-Boruli "Spring day" (1902). The Council of the Tretyakov Gallery, which included then V. A. Serov and I. S. Ostrukhov, acquires for the gallery the second work of the master "At the end of winter" (1907). Scenery "Cutting fields" (1911) was purchased for Russian museum.
In 1908, V. K. Bialynitsky-Birulya received the title of academician of painting. In 1912, the artist writes a famous picture "Spring", later a width meeting State Tretyakov Gallery. This is one of the works of the artist, which in its entirety shows the originality of his creative appearance, the measure of the skill achieved. Limit modesty and sincerity of feelings are distinguished by this landscape depicting the outskirts of the village with small huts, deserted snowy expanses, a relaxing rock of the river. Composite, rhythmic construction of the landscape is extremely simple and harmonious. With a remarkable loyalty, a certain moment was captured in the life of nature: the snow is still very much, but the beginning of spring is already felt. Extremely successfully found for the image of a cold, non-stern day, monochrome, but richly designed in a tonal ratio of color. Here, the lyrical perception of nature is narrowly planned, its intense emotional experience, which, developing, will subsequently become the main features of the works of Szoynitsky-Borul.
It was the same paintings that I. E. Repin, when V. K. Bialynitsky wrote ~ Birulya in a letter dated January 14, 1910: "I am always with a new great pleasure I look at your salary with a sleeve brought by snow; I love these beems, white edges reflected in the mountain river, "and in the same letter -" I am so accustomed to refreshing the soul to your alive trends, simplicity and freedom. "
It should be emphasized that the last words, indeed, the essence of the perception of nature V. N. Bialynitsky-Birul, as an artist-realist, determines the essence of the nature of the perception of nature.
A genuine, deep sense of love for the nature of his country, the truthful embodiment of her beauty and diversity, the immediacy and sincerity of the perception was protected by the Bialynitsky-Boruli from the influences of the declaration, formalistic art, which was crossed by many novice artists at the beginning of the twentieth century.
