the World of the artist Yuri Pimenov @special-a world in which every viewer for themselves making new discoveries that distant Soviet era. And today we can confidently say that deep intimacy pimenovsky paintings - in their true vitality. In this you can see for yourself by viewing the gallery of the best works of the artist.
This is the picture of-новеллы, concealing themselves in the everyday stories that have passed through the spiritual experiences of the artist and his world and talent. Painter his paintings created in the style of an updated impressionism, the Foundation of which is laid" прекрасное moment" with slight romantic overtones and a certain lyricism that made his work special, I"d say solemn mood. And these moments he generously filled to the brim with true life, desires, feelings, and mood.
However, special attention deserves the fancy brushwork painter - small translucent smear, for life has become his unique author"s handwriting, as well, and the lyrical genre painting remains his passion. Many critics believed Pimenova true chronicler of the time in which he lived and worked his impressive paintings.
a Little bit about the master of social realism, not like the other
Painter, theatrical designer, graphic artist, people"s artist of the RSFSR, full member of the USSR Academy of arts - Pimenov Yuri Ivanovich (1903-1977) was a native Muscovite. He was born and lived in the house, which was located not far from the Tretyakov gallery, so, as a boy, most of my free time spent in the halls of the famous gallery. And so from an early age, his favorite hobby was painting.
the First mentor and teacher Yuri thought his father, a lawyer by profession, who was an excellent artist-любителем. In school Yuri Pimenov, and not very not good at math, but perfectly coped with brushes and paints, which, of course, has not gone unnoticed. In high school, the art teacher helped the talented boy to do the city art school.
And in 1920-talented young man studied at VKhUTEMAS - one of the best art institutions in the country. And after graduating in 1925, along with other graduates Yuri Pimenov entered the artistic Association called" Общество artists-станковистов". Just at this period the young artist was seriously interested in German expressionism, which is evident in his work. In 1927 he created the canvas" Даешь heavy industry!", which is then appreciated the criticism.
However, all was not so rosy in the creative career of the artist. So, in the beginning 1930-х years in his life were trying times. Resolution" О restructuring literary-художественных organizations", the authorities banned the work of all art associations. The Pimenova started to criticize, accused of formalism.
the Artist has been rough this time, so he later recalled that: "...это was my difficult time. I spread my nerves, I couldn"t work. Besides I suffered a professional disaster: the one book that I illustrated, in the drawings recognized formalistic, and I found myself without money and without work, because after this book work in magazines I was given, and we exist on the money that one has earned my жена".
In that period Pimenov could spend days walking around the most remote of the Moscow streets and parks, ride in a suburb of the capital and wander the surrounding forests. He enthusiastically wrote of urban landscapes, depicting new buildings of new Moscow and, of course, people - soulful, beautiful body and soul. What colleagues-художники and critics called him" певцом" Metropolitan life.
Even the heavy war years, Yuri Ivanovich refused to evacuate, held in Moscow, creating propaganda posters. He wrote at this time, the portraits and genre paintings that reflect the military life of his native city.
In the postwar years, Yuri worked as a teacher of the all-Union state Institute of cinematography (VGIK). In the paintings Pimenova reiterated the peaceful themes: Moscow and Muscovites, buildings, and genre scenes from the life.
Thus, having gone through a difficult period of criticism, Pimenov became an acknowledged master of socialist realism. Since the mid-1950-х years, he travelled a lot: visited England, India, France and Italy, wrote essays on travel, doing sketches. However, the biggest love in the life of the master by-прежнему remained Moscow, with its sights and inhabitants, who for centuries have created its history.
in conclusion, I would like to note that Yuri Pimenov had a special gift - find in everyday life the romance and lyricism. And unlike many of his peers, Pimenov was always trying to keep up with the times and sought to embody in their works of contemporary life.
Create a reverent feeling the marvel of an ordinary life - that was the creative credo of the artist. And it was so unlike the work of many socialist realists who carefully tried to Polish the reality of the socialist system, idealizing her and praising.
However, Pimenov without any conditionalities recognized as one of the brightest and most prominent artists of the Soviet art. And today his works are in major museums around the country. And interestingly, the lungs filled with quivering light and the dynamics of its images still do not leave indifferent both fans of the Western and modern art, and strong academics.
