Painting is the Virtual History Museum. Collections of the Russian Museum Main Pictures of the Russian Museum
Probably Russian Museum should be put in one of the main points on the list of visits to the sights of St. Petersburg. Especially if you arrived in the northern capital to one, two or a little more days. "Why?" - you ask.
Firstly: there is a truly wonderful collection of the best works of Russian artists, sculptors and folk craftsmen.
Secondly: there is no such excitement in the Russian museum as in the Hermitage, and the atmosphere of the museum causes a feeling of peace of mind and mental equilibrium.
Thirdly: It's very easy to get here (you don't need to stand in huge queues for a ticket).
Russian Museum. More recently, pronouncing these words, and the townspeople, and guests of the city, implied only a beautiful building in an ampir style on the art square. In the Mikhailovsky Palace, in 1898, the first State Museum of National Art opened, and here the main expositions of the museum are located. But in recent years, another three palaces have entered the museum, having a significant historical and cultural past.
So, the Russian museum has four buildings in its composition: Stroganov Palace, Marble Palace, Mikhailovsky Palace and Mikhailovsky (Engineering) Castle. All these palaces are located in different places in St. Petersburg and have the name "Russian Museum" in the title.
To avoid confusion, let's call the main building of the Russian Museum - the Mikhailovsky Palace, located at the engineering street, 4. It is here that the main halls and expositions of the State Russian Museum are. It is here that guests of St. Petersburg, who arrived in the northern capital for the first time, will be wishing to get away.

Here is a small passage from the work of Professor Anatoly Alekseevich Klesov:
"Unfortunately, in Russian historical science, the destroyer traditionally continues, a destructive approach regarding the Normanism or other periods of domestic history. Selectively chosen and introduced into the "official" turnover, only sources, meaningful meaning, the role of Slavs in historical processes. There are no "historiography" of M. orbini, there are no works of Polish Archbishop Stanislav Boguza (Stanislaw Bohusz, 1731-1826), an outstanding enlightener, in one of whose works - "Historical studies of the origin of Slavs and Sarmatov" - are described by Slavs living in ancient Times from Syria to Ponta Evksinsky (Black Sea). There are no dozens of other books in antiquity or in the Middle Ages classic, where it is narrated by the Slavs of past millennia. This is the whole library of Serbian historians of the past, in which Slavs are called those whom Russian (and Western) historians call "Skifmi". If historians have objections against this - where are they? Or they live according to the saying "I do not see anything, I won't hear anything, I won't tell anyone"? "

A little story: the main building of the Russian Museum.
"In the magnitude of the outdoor view, this palace will serve as an decoration of St. Petersburg, and on the elegance of the taste of the interior decoration, it can be considered among the best European palaces ..." - so wrote the Magazine "Patriotic Notes" in 1825. In that year, every self-respecting Petersburger had to visit himself here, at the newly finished Mikhailovsky Palace, built by architect Carl Rossi for the Grand Duke Mikhail Pavlovich and his wife Elena Pavlovna. Now this is the main building of the Russian Museum. The White Hall is the only room that has survived after the restructuring of the palace for the needs of the museum exactly as it was with Russia. Beautiful girls, squeezing on the chariots - the muses, the daughters of the goddess of memory mnemosina and zeus are depicted on the ceiling beam; Great Princess Elena Pavlovna was fond of painting, music, poetry. Murals performed beautiful Italian artists Jacomo Batistivo Scotty and Antonio Vigi. Everything else is the fruit of the womb of Russian masters: Joinery Masters Bobkov, Bronzovier Zakharov, furniture makers and parquetrs of Znamensky and Tarasov, Sculptor Stepan Pimenova. The White Hall is a true masterpiece, in which Rossi thought out absolutely everything - from the location of the columns, to the smallest details of the ornament and the front service. A happy way all this has been preserved: the picturesque painting of the walls, sculptural decoration, a typical parquet - everything remained from the times of Rossi. Even the furniture stands on the same places (its number and location has been determined by the architect itself). The hall was so good that the English king George even asked to make a reduced copy from it.
But not only with its appearance is famous for the White Hall. Here was the famous musical salon of the Great Princess. Russian music society, thanks to which the first music classes were opened in 1860, and then the conservatory first in Russia, it was originated here at these evenings. In the Mikhailovsky Palace debuted as a conductor Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky, here performed their works Hector Berlioz, Ferenz Sheet, Mikhail Glinka. These walls heard Vasily Zhukovsky and Ivan Krylov's voices. Salon for many years was one of the most important culmination centers of the capital.
"The musical and artistic evenings in the Great Princess were extremely interesting, - recalled their first participant, the famous composer, Pianist Anton Rubinstein. - Here they gathered positively the best artists who were in St. Petersburg. Often, among the guests there was a majestic figure of Emperor Nicholas. "
Ancient icon in the Museum Meeting. It was written alleged in the XII century. The author is unknown, it is believed to have written it in Novgorod. The name of my own was due to the fact that every hair in the image was impregnated with gold gold. In the Russian Museum appeared in 1934, before he was nomaded from the Rumyantsev Museum - in the historical, from there - to the Tretyakov Gallery.
The most famous picture of the artist Karl Bryullov, from which, as it is believed, our National School of Painting began. Excavations in Pompeiy began just at the time when Brullov was at study in Italy. So many sketches he painted from nature.
As the Baratsky wrote later, "became the last day of Pompeii for the Russian brush first day." A huge epic fabric written by Bryrylov for three years, became a symbol of the emerging Russian scenic school. In the country, the artist literally wore on her arms. And the picture itself Nicholas I hung at the Academy of Arts, so that novice painters knew what to navigate.
Ivan Aivazovsky drew hundreds of paintings with the sea, this is the most famous. Majestic marine element, storm, sea and against the background of all this - helpless shipwreck victims trying to escape on a ship mast.
Avazovsky's talent is still famous in the whole world, his paintings are not-no and will appear at international auctions, and the famous English Marist Turner, admired by our artist, wrote a laudatory poem in honor of him.
One of the most famous paintings by the artist Vasnetsov (along with "Alyonushka" or "Ivan-Tsarevich"). The artist wrote his knight several times. At first, the whole inscription was visible - he removed her. At first, the knight stood face to the viewer - he turned it out, it turned out more monumental. In addition, the picture was the road - Vasnetsov removed her, for greater hopelessness.
To this day, Vityaz is considered one of the best Russian paintings on fabulous plots and canonically, our painting of the second half of the XIX century along with the canvas of Repin and Surikov.
"That's how the Cossacks answered you, plug. You will not even pig in Christians graze. With this end, because numbers do not know and calendar do not have, month in the sky, a year in the book, and the day is like that of us, what you have, for this kiss in **** us! " "It was exactly that, according to the legend, the end of the letter of the Zaporizhzhya Cossacks Turkish Sultan. The text came to us in the form of lists (written copies) and, as it is believed, was written in the XVII century, when, once again, Turkish Sultan demanded that the Cossacks stop attacking the brilliant port and surrender.
A copy found Ekaterinoslav historian Novitsky, who handed it to his colleague to Javornitsky, and he, in turn, read his acquaintances, among whom was the artist Ilya Repin. He so became interested in the plot that he soon decided to write a picture on his reasons. Javornitsky himself posed Repin as a model for writing. Ataman Sirko The artist wrote from the Kiev General Governor Dragomirov. A thick laughing Cossack in the Red Kaftan and White Papa is a writer Gilyarovsky.
The picture was then recognized as historically unreliable (and there was a lot of complaints to the very letter), but in the end, its success at exhibitions (including abroad) was so huge that the Emperor Alexander III itself was bought for accommodation in the Russian Museum.
The main monumental historical canvas of the Krasnoyarsk artist Vasily Surikov, for whom he went to Switzerland. The artist himself written off or the teacher of the local gymnasium, or from the retired Cossack officer.
It turned out to be an invaluable state order: the artist painted the picture to the 100th anniversary of the Alpine Shard of Suvorov in 1899, in the end she liked the emperor Nicholas II, that he acquired it for the Russian Museum.
One of the key paintings in the works of the artist Vereshchagin, one of the few, exhibited in the Russian Museum (most of the collection is kept in the Tretyakov Gallery). The artist is as always, with a unthinkable at that time photographic accuracy - created a real plot worthy of the best photo reporters of our time. The luxurious doors of the Central Asian Mosque, and before them - the poor, for which this rich world is closed forever.
This, by the way, is one of the few nevertheless paintings of Vereshchagin: he became famous primarily as a battalist, with a reporter composure that open the horrors of war: in Central Asia, and in the Balkans. Vereshchagin also died in war: on the battleship "Petropavlovsk" in Port Arthur.
The amazing stylization of the ancient plot by the artist of the era of modern. Valentin Serov, inspired by excavations on the island of Crete (where, in the legend, Zeus in the image of the bull and in Europe), wrote not just a picture, but a large decorative panel.
In the Russian Museum is stored one of the six copies of the picture. Large option is located in the State Tretyakov Gallery.
One of the most powerful paintings dedicated to the Civil War. Petrova-Vodkina death is deprived of any pathos, any patient. The dying commissioner and holding his soldier there is no expression of pain and anger on the face: only fatigue, indifference, no will to further move, while the rest of the fighters run under the sounds of drums forward to battle.
Alexander Deineka wrote this picture back in 1942, literally immediately after the fall of Sevastopol. He showed pictures of the destroyed city, and Deineka decided to create a large heroic canvas about those who defended Sevastopol. It turned out a little pathetic, but an emotionally very strong picture about the courage and the hopelessness of the situation of those who decided not to give up by anything.

History of the Russian Museum
The State Russian Museum in became the first place in the country where the works of the greatest Russian painters and sculptors are stored.
The main building of the museum, Mikhailovsky Palace, was built for the younger son Paul I, Mikhail. Architect became Karl Rossi. Already after the death of the Grand Duke, his heirs sold the palace in the city treasury.
In 1895, the Russian Museum of the Aleksandra III is established in the building of the Palace according to the decree of Nicholas II. So began the glorious history of the Russian Museum.
The basis of the permanent collection of steel paintings, once belonged to the Hermitage, Academy of Arts and the Winter Palace.
Part of the paintings were acquired by private collectors, part was transferred to patters as a gift.
Emperor Nicholas II sacrifice its own funds for the purchase of new exhibits. For the first ten years, the collection has grown almost twice.
During the years of revolution and war, none of the exhibits suffered. The part was evacuated to the Urals, part - hidden in the basement rooms of the building.
At the moment, research works are being conducted in the museum building, the restoration department of museum values \u200b\u200bis considered the best in Russia. This will bring art objects from all over the country to restore their former look.
What you need to know about the museum
All paintings of the State Russian Museum are created by Russian artists (or artists who lived in Russia) - from the ancient Domongol Icons (of course the authorship of Andrei Rublev, Dionysius and Seeds of Ushakov) to painting the second half of the XIX century and modern art.

In the Beno'a housing (an extension of the Mikhailovsky Palace), the famous Russian avant-garde is kept. Unfortunately, it is on him that the composition of the Russian Museum ends.

The State Russian Museum in St. Petersburg is the largest collection of painting of Russian artists, which has more than 400 thousand works. There is no more such meeting of Russian art in the world.
Creation of the Russian Museum
A decree on the establishment of the museum was published in 1895. For this, the Mikhailovsky castle and the garden around, and the service, and the fluels were purchased. By decree, all the works already acquired by the museum cannot sell or transfer anyone. They should always be in the collection. In 1898, the visitors opened the state Russian for three years, I was looking forward to this event. He received works from the Academy of Arts, Hermitage, Winter Palace and Private Collections. The initial exposure was not extensive.
After the revolution
The collection was constantly updated, and the area of \u200b\u200bthe museum was expanded by attaching new premises. During the years of Patriotic War, all the most valuable works were evacuated and did not suffer. Those that remained in a besieged city were carefully packed and kept in basements. They also remained in complete safety. The State Russian Museum fully coped with such a difficult task - to protect the entire exposition in which there were already more than seven thousand exhibits.
Rising museum
New arrivals were actively added in the 50s. Posted the State Russian Museum of Work and in the Mikhailovsky Palace, and in the Beno'a Corps, as well as other buildings. They have a section with the invaluable works of Rublev, Dionysius and a number of other iconographic painters of the early and late Middle Ages. Stores the State Russian Museum of the Article 18th of the 19th Century.
The photo shows the work of D.G.levitsky "Portrait of E.I.Nelidova". The museum is rightly proud of the completeness of the pictures represented by visitors. The transfer of the names and the names of our outstanding and ingenious artists will take a lot of space. The State Russian Museum of Works of the Middle and the late 19th century, as well as the works of the painters of the "world of art" and futurist artists who also constitute the pride of the museum. The whole hall is devoted to the works of the artist, art historian, decorator.
In the photo of A.N. Benoit "Parade in the reign of Paul I". The collection of the museum has a web of Soviet artists of all periods of the existence of the Soviet Union. Currently collects and exhibits the State Russian Museum of Work New, Unconventional. This department engaged in the newest currents was created in about thirty years ago.
Famous cloth
The exposition is "Black Square". The State Russian Museum acquired it with scandalous glory and posted in the Beno'a Corps.
Create a loud scandal was the task of Futurist artists, and then supermatists to attract attention. Their predecessor was Herostrat, who, to stay in the centuries, burned the temple. The main desire of Malevich and his associates is to destroy everything: we were freed from the entire preceding, and now we will do art in a clean evenly scorched place. Initially, Malevich made a black square as a piece of decorations to the opera. Two years later, he created the theory, proving that it is above all (supermatism), and denying everything: both shape and nature. Simply exists art from nothing.
Impressive exhibition of 1915
At the exhibition "0.10" there were pictures consisting of squares, crosses, circles, and in this room in the right corner at the top where icons hang, Malevich hung his square.
What is important? Square or place where he is hanged? Of course, the place was more important than what was drawn, especially if you consider that it was written "nothing". Imagine "nothing" on the site of God. It was a very significant event. It was a phenomenally talented PR-stroke, thought out to the end, because it is not about what is depicted there. The application was such - nothing, black, emptiness, dark instead of God. "Instead of the icon, which leads up, to the light, the path in the darkness, in the hatch, to the basement, in the underworld" (Tatiana is fat). Art died, here you instead a piece of nonsense. You are ready to pay money for him. "Black Square" Malevich is not art, but a brilliant act of a very talented seller. Most likely, "Black Square" is just a naked king, and it is worth talking about it, and not about the depths of the peace. "Black Square" is not art because:
Where is the talent of feelings?
Where is the skill? Anyone can draw a square.
Where is beauty there? The viewer should think for a long time what it means, and never understand.
Where is there a violation of traditions? There are no traditions there.
Thus, if you look from this point of view, then we see what happened and happens with art that breaks with sincerity, which begins to appeal to intelligence, that is, "I think for a long time, to do that the scandal happened, and I noticed me." . A normal person asks himself a question: "Why did he do it? I wanted to earn money or wanted to express some of my feelings? ". The question of sincerity got up because the artist thinks how to sell himself. The pursuit of the novelty leads art to complete freeness, and this intellectual desire is coming from the head, and not from the heart. Malevich and iezh, I was looking for ways of scandals and sales, which is now raised for professional height. It is very important to bring the theory under your creation and add an incomprehensible long smart name that is more important than the image. Talented in our society is for some reason that man is incomprehensible. The lack of spiritual principle in the Black Square for very many undoubtedly. The sign of time and skillful trading is "Black Square". The State Russian Museum could not miss such a "speaking" job.
Drama at sea
In 1850, Aivazovsky created a large-scale canvas "Ninth Val". The State Russian Museum now exhibits this work.
Powerful wave hangs over the wreckage of the ship. Humanity is represented in this picture in the form of unfortunate sailors, which on the remnant of the mast, a little suitable for swimming, desperately cling to her, while the wave ruthlessly wants to absorb her. Our feelings are split. They are absorbed by the rise of this huge wave. We enter together with its movement up and test the tension between the scallop and the force of attraction, especially at the moment when the tip of the wave is broken and turns into a foam. The shaft is aimed at those who invade this element of water without demand. Sailors actively power, which penetrates through the waves. You can try to consider this composition as a picture of harmony in nature, as a picture of a harmonious combination of water and land, which is not visible, but it is present in our consciousness. Water - Element is fluid, changing, non-permanent, and the Earth as the main object of hope is not even mentioned. In this, as if urge to the active role of the viewer. This is a picture of the universe, which is shown through the landscape. Waves on the horizon look like mountains covered with a haze, and they, more gentle, are repeated closer to the viewer. This leads to the rhythmic ordering of the composition. A striking flavor, rich in the shades of pink and lilac in the sky, and green, blue, purple in the sea, penetrated by the rays of the rising sun, carrying joy and optimism. One of the pearls of the collection is the romantic work "ninth shaft". The State Russian Museum has a masterpiece written by young Aivazovsky.
Tragedy on earth
If two elements, water and wind were involved in the previous picture, then the Earth and Fire are terrible on the next floor - this is the "last day Pompeii." The State Russian Museum received it from the meeting of the Academy of Arts.
Written in 1834 and exhibited in Rome, the picture produced among the Italians, as subsequently among the Russian audience, Furore. Pushkin, Gogol, Baratsky dedicated to her penetrated lines. Why is this work relevant and now? Plastic movements, turns of bodies and heads, the dynamics of the colorful palette, the artist revived the events of the past millennia. We are involved in the terrible experiences of people who are about to die in the fiery lava caused by the eruption of the volcano and a powerful earthquake. Are there no such tragedies in our days? The classic form of the work is perfect, great execution skill, forcing it to remember the names of high revival artists. Karl Bryullov's masterpiece captures his beauty, despite the fact that the death of ancient civilization is depicted here.
Museum in modern time
If initially the museum consisted of the imperial palaces, now it is a whole ensemble, an unusually beautiful, which is a cultural center, because it solves scientific and educational tasks. From the depths of the centuries, the legacy of great painters reached us. Classic, romantic, domestic, genre keeps the State Russian Museum of Work. The photo shows us the main building - the Mikhailovsky Palace.
This residential premises were rebuilt for the storage of workshops of the brush.
The ensemble adjacent to the palace
The State Russian Museum is located in six architectural monuments of the 18-19 centuries, which complements the summer and Mikhailovsky gardens, in which visitors can admire not only the rigorous regular landings of bushes and trees, but also beautiful sculptures. Excursions are held in the museum buildings, and additional services are provided with lecture, a cinema hall, an Internet class, a cafeterium equipped for receiving disabled people.
Who loves Russian painting, probably in the Russian Museum in St. Petersburg (opened in 1897). Of course have . But it was in the Russian museum that the main masterpieces of such artists like Repin, Bryllov, Ayvazovsky are kept.
If we remember about the Bullette, then you immediately think about his masterpiece "Last Day Pompeii." If about Repina, then a picture "Burlaci on the Volga" appears in the head. If you remember Aivazovsky - remember the "ninth shaft".
And this is not the limit. "Night on the Dnieper" and "Kupchikha". These icon paintings of Queenji and Kustodiev are also in the Russian Museum.
These works will show you any guide. Yes, and you yourself are hardly passing by them. So about these masterpieces I just must tell.
Adding a couple of my favorites, albeit not the most "promoted" ("Akhmatov" Altman and the "Last Supper" GE).
1. Brullov. The last day of Pompeii. 1833
Karl Bromlov. The last day of Pompeii. 1833 G. State Russian Museum 4 years of preparation. Another 1 year of continuous operation with paints and brushes. Several frost in the workshop. And here is the result - 30 square meters, which show the last minutes of the life of the inhabitants of Pompeii (in the 19th century the name of the city was a female genus).
For Bryullov, everything was not in vain. I think in the world there was no such artist, whose picture, just one picture would produce such a furor.
People crowded the exhibition to watch the masterpiece. Bryullov literally wore on her arms. He was painted by revived. And Nicholas I honored the artist of personal audience.
What was so struck by the contemporaries of Bryullov? And now it will not leave the viewer indifferent.
We see a very tragic moment. A few minutes later all these people perished. But it does not repel us. Because we are fascinating ... Beauty.
Beauty people. The beauty of destruction. Beauty catastrophe.
Look, as far as everything is harmonious. The red tagged sky is perfectly combined with a red dress of girls on the right and left. And how to effectively fall under the blow of the lightning two statues. I'm not talking about the athletic figure of a man on a raised horse.
Picture on the one hand about a real catastrophe. The poses of the people of Bullels were handled from those killed in the pompey. Street is also real, it still can be seen in the city cleaned from the ashes.
But the beauty of the characters makes what happened like an ancient myth. As if beautiful gods were predicted on beautiful people. And we are not so sad.
2. Aivazovsky. Ninth shaft. 1850
Ivan Aivazovsky. Ninth shaft. 221 x 332 cm. 1850. Russian Museum, St. Petersburg. Wikipedia.org.This is the most famous picture of Aivazovsky. Which even people who are distant from art know. What was it so famous?
People always fascinates the struggle of a person with the elements. Preferably with a happy finale.
This is the picture at least debugs. Ostroezhennyhere. Six survivors desperately cling to mast. Next rolling a big wave, the ninth tree. Behind her follows another one. People have a long and terrible struggle for life.
But already dawn. The sun breaking through the torn clouds is hope for salvation.
The element of Aivazovsky, as well as the Bryrukov, is stunningly beautiful. Of course, sailors are not sweet. But we cannot but admire transparent waves, sunlight and lilac sky.
Therefore, this picture produces the same effect as the previous masterpiece. Beauty and drama in one bottle.
3. Ge. Last evening. 1863
Nikolai Ge. Last evening. 283 x 382 cm. 1863 G. State Russian Museum. Tanais.info. The two previous masterpieces of Bryullov and Aivazovsky were adopted by the public with delight. But with the masterpiece, everything was more difficult. Dostoevsky did not love her, for example. It seemed to him too landing.
But most of all the clergy were dissatisfied. They were even able to prohibit the release of reproductions. That is, the wide public could not see her. Already until 1916!
Why is such an ambiguous reaction to the picture?
Remember how the secret in the evening was depicted. At least . The table along which Christ and 12 apostles are sitting and trapping. Judas among them.
Nikolai Ge is still different. Jesus will face. That just the Bible corresponded. That is how Jews took the food 2000 years ago, eastern.
Christ has already pronounced his terrible prediction that one of the students betray him. He already knows that it will be Judas. And asks him to do what he conceived, not postponing. Judah leaves.
And just in the doors, we seem to face him. He pays for a raincoat to get into the darkness. And in the literal, and figurative sense. His face is almost not visible. And his ominous shadow falls on the remaining.
Unlike Brullov and Aivazovsky, there are more complex emotions. Jesus deep, but humbly experiences the betrayal of the student.
Peter is outraged. He has a hot character, he jumped and looks at the trail of Judas. John cannot believe in what is happening. He, as a child who first encountered injustice.
And the apostles are less than twelve. Apparently, for g, it was not so important to fit all. For the church, it was fundamentally. Hence the censorship bans.

4. Repin. Barge Haulers on the Volga. 1870-1873
Ivan Repin. Barge Haulers on the Volga. 131.5 x 281 cm. 1870-1873 State Russian Museum. Wikipedia.org. Ilya Repin first saw Burlakov on the Niva. And so was amazed by their pathetic species, especially in the contrast with vacationers near the dacnis, that the decision to write the picture immediately ripe.
Sleeve dachans Repin did not write. But the contrast is still present in the picture. Dirty spillway burlakov is opposed to idyllistic landscape.
Maybe for the 19th century it looked not so defiant. But for a modern person, this kind of worker seems depressing.
Yes, the repin steamer in the background portrayed. Which could be used as a tug, so that people do not torment.
In reality, Burlaci was not so weed. They were well fed, after lunch, they always gave sleep. And for the season they earned so much that in winter they could feed themselves without working.
Repin took for the painting strongly elongated canvas horizontally. And successfully chose an angle of view. Burlaci go to us towards us, but at the same time they do not block each other. We can easily consider each of them.
And the most important burlac with the face of the sage. And a young guy who will not be adopted to the strap. And the penultimate Greek, which looks at remedy.
With each in the harness, Repin was personally familiar. Long with them long conversation about life. Therefore, they turned out to be so different, each with their own character.
5. Queenji. Moonlight night on the Dnieper. 1880
Archka Queenji. Moonlight night on the Dnieper. 105 x 144 cm. 1880. State Russian Museum. Rusmuseum.ru. "Moonlight Night on the Dnieper" is the most famous work of Quinji. And not surprising. The artist himself very effectively introduced her to the public.
He organized a personal exhibition. The exhibition hall was dark. Only one lamp was aimed at the only picture of the exhibition, "Moon Night on the Dnieper".
People watched the picture. Bright greenish moon light and moon track hypnotized. The outlines of the Ukrainian village are visible. Only a part of the walls lit by the moon, protrudes from the darkness. Silhouette of the mill on the background of a lit river.
The effect of realistic and fantasticity is simultaneously. How did the artist achieved such "special effects"?
In addition to the skill here, there was still a menteleev hand. He helped Quinji create the composition of paint, especially flickering in the twilight.
It would seem amazing quality by the artist. Be able to plan your own work yourself. But he came unexpectedly. Almost immediately after this exhibition, Queenji spent 20 years by the recovery. He continued to write, but did not show his paintings.
The picture was still bought by the Grand Duke Konstantinovich Konstantinovich (grandson of Nicholas I). He was so tied to the picture that he took her around the world. Salted wet air contributed to the darkening of the canvas. Alas, that hypnotic effect is no longer returned.
6. Altman. Portrait of Akhmatova. 1914
Nathan Altman. Portrait of Anna Akhmatova. 123 x 103 cm. 1914. State Russian Museum. Rusmuseum.ru. Akhmatova Altman is very bright and memorable. Speaking about the poetess, many will remember this particular portrait. Surprisingly, she didn't like himself. The portrait of her seemed strange and "bitter", judging by her poems.
In fact, even sister poetess recognized that the pre-revolutionary years Akhmatova was. The true representative of Modern.
Young, slim, high. Its angular shape, as it is impossible, the "shrubs" in the style of cubism can be invincible. And the bright blue dress is successfully combined with a sharp knee and discovering shoulder.
He managed to give the appearance of a stylish and extraordinary woman. However, he himself was so.
Altman did not understand artists who can work in a dirty workshop and not to notice crumbs in their beard. He himself was always dressed with a needle. And even underwear sewed to order in its own sketches.
In the originality, he was also difficult to refuse. Somehow caracotted cockroaches in his apartment, he painted them in different colors. One painted in a gold color, called it a "laureate" and let go with the words "Here it is his cockroach, it will be surprised!"
7. Kustodiev. Kupchah for tea. 1918
Boris Kustodiev. Kupchah for tea. 120 x 120 cm. 1918 G. State Russian Museum. Artchive.ru. Kustodiev - Cheerful Picture. On it we see the solid, the full world of merchants. Heroine with skin lighter sky. Cat with a face, similar to the face of the hostess. Puzzled stuffed samovar. Watermelon on a rich dish.
What could we think about the artist who wrote such a picture? That the artist knows a lot of life. That he loves lush women. And that he is obviously love.
But, as it really was.
If you drew attention, the picture is written in revolutionary years. The artist with his family lived extremely poorly. Thoughts only about bread. Silent life.
What is the abundance, when is it around destruction and hunger? So Kustodiev tried to capture an irrevocably left beautiful life.
What about the ideal of female beauty? Yes, the artist said that thin women are not inspired by creativity. Nevertheless, in life, he preferred that. Slender was his wife.
Kustodiev was lovely. What is amazed, because by the time of writing the picture, for 3 years, it has been chained to a wheelchair. The diagnosis of bone tuberculosis was supplied back in 1911.
Custodian care to detail is very unusual for time when the avant-garde flourished. We see each drying on the table. Walking around the living room. And well done trying to keep the horse on the race. All this looks like a fairy tale, noby. Which was once, yes ended.
