However, being a staunch realist, recovery was also an incorrigible optimist and cheerful person. And it is my happiness, constantly manifested in the everyday little things, he managed all the details and to him alone inherent in the manner of a talent to pass.
Arkady rightfully could be called the brightest artist of the Soviet era, after so much sun, joy and smiles were not more, perhaps, in the works of none of the colleagues.
In the portfolio dedicated to the collective weekdays, I want to focus on one, though not famous, but very interesting from different points of view." Колхозный current", written in 1949, is a real apotheosis of the peaceful labor of the Soviet people.
Summer field work in the village is often compared to a battle, and who, if not Plastov was to know how much physical strength, perseverance, endurance, collective energy required for the workers in order and without loss to gather the precious harvest.
the Hot summer sky darkened a bit from the unbearable heat, dry air and hot wheat sheaves fill the canvas with an unbearable brilliance, which even the audience begins to cut in his eyes. Gold susleni (sheaves), mountains of burning gold embossed grain, the earth itself appears Golden Cipangu under people"s feet. Festive white shirts and red scarves, tanned bare feet, strong work-worn even in young hands, is a generalized collective portrait of INIC. Fine boy, no, man, as happened in Russia dignify sturdy, easy grip athletes in the foreground turn their pitchforks weighty sheaf, and his tense muscular body shines under the scorching rays from sweat.
At the edge of the work, so that it seems you take one step and swing beyond it, second, the heroic view of the farmer slowly, gulps drinking from a huge mug of ice water. His red shirt flag fluttering in the forefront of the peace of this fierce battle. Two teenagers on either side of the frozen figures with reverence waiting, when an adult gets drunk to continue his rounds. Noisy tractor, quickly flashed in the space of a deft hand, skillfully knitting the ears, and contagious excitement and joy reign all around.
To the horizon stretches a fabulous field with piles of ripe gold and Russian beauty, fun pereslavskaya between them, so bright and Sunny that I could not help recall the paintings of the Impressionists. With the help of light, bright spots and glare so vividly luminous the artist and the physical heaviness of the peasant works, and the General joy that summer that wheat had been grown, and that the whole world, together working for the common good. But it is, like it or not, the main reception of impressionism!
