REALISM

Arkady Aleksandrovich Plastov was born in 1893, C. of prislonikha, Simbirsk province., he died in 1972. During the life of A. A. Plastov was recognized as a classic of Soviet art. His work even appeared in school textbooks. But we are deeply mistaken if we perceive Plastov as an official artist. Yes, he wrote custom paintings portrayed Lenin in Razliv, entry to the farm and farm holidays. Yes, not everything in his huge legacy equivalent. However, his best paintings have become classics of not Soviet, but Russian painting of the XX century Strata @- the great painter of peasant Russia. She looks at us with his paintings and portraits. It will remain in eternity to be what made her Layers. He was the son of the village the reader and the grandson of a local icon painter. He graduated from Seminary and Seminary. From his youth dreamed of becoming a painter. In 1914, managed to enter the Moscow school of painting, but was received only at the sculpture Department. In parallel, he studied painting. In 1917-25. Plastov lived in his native village@the semicolon as" грамотный", engaged in various public Affairs. Only in the second half of 1920-х. he was able to return to professional art work. In 1931, have Plastov"s house burned down, lost almost everything created by this time. The artist for nearly forty years, and he was almost in the position of novice. But forty more years of tireless work of @- and a number of his works close to 10 000. Some portraits of @- a few hundred. This is mainly portraits of villagers. @Ndashсвоему an equally unique series, like" Русь leaving" Korin. After all this Russia had to disappear in the crucible of socialist construction.

Strata @- natural realist. Modernist pride, then-то totally new and unprecedented was totally alien to him. He lived in the world and admire its beauty. Like many Russian artists-реалисты, Seams convinced: the main thing for the artist @- to see this beauty and be very sincere. It is not necessary to write beautifully, one should write the truth, and she will be more beautiful than any fantasy. Every shade, every detail in his paintings repeatedly checked in the working with nature. Nepravilnosti, the complete absence of what is called" манерой", features Plastov even those great masters, the heir to the picturesque principles which he was, @- A. E. Arkhipov, F. A Malyavina, K. A. Korovin. Layers aware of himself as a successor of the entire national artistic tradition. The character of Russian nature, he sees the enchanting paint our old icons. These colors live in his paintings: the gold wheat fields, the green of the grass, in red, pink and blue peasant clothes.The place of the Holy ascetics take up Russian peasants, whose labor and serious, and Holy, whose life for Plastov @- embodied the harmony of nature and man.

the Artist fruitfully works in 1930-х years, but the first masterpieces he creates in the war years. War as a national tragedy as an attack on the natural and sacred laws of life @-" Фашист flying" (1942). And the inviolability of these laws, the inviolability of the foundations of people"s lives @- classically restrained and beautiful" Жатва" (1945). The tragedy of war is hidden, it @- the absence of fathers and older brothers of kids sitting next to an elderly peasant. It is impossible to stop and defeat the natural course of life. Her triumph in the glow of sunlight, a riot of herbs and flowers, expanse of the Russian landscape, simple and eternal joy of working one"s own land @-" Сенокос" (1945). And subsequently, in best his works Plastov kept the achieved level:" Родник" (1952)," Юность" (1953-54)," Весна" (1954)," Лето" (1959-60)," Ужин tractor" (1951). Not a coincidence in the names of many of them is something generalizing. Plastov was given the rare ability events of real life, often the most mundane, to turn into a perfect image of how to access their hidden, true meaning and value in the overall system structure of the universe. He therefore modern Russian realist, so naturally continued the classical artistic tradition. Here is a young woman for a moment ran out of the bath, to more tightly wrap her daughter ("Весна. In the bath", 1954). But not sister if she beauties from" Весны" and" Рождения Venus" S. Botticelli? Here dreaming, staring out the boy-подпасок ("Витька-подпасок", 1951). But not brother whether he is the young man from" Завтрака on the grass" Eduard Manet? And that girl that stopped at a spring with a yoke on his shoulders ("Родник"), @- to see if it is as the eternal source of harmony, and that lovely young lady from" Источника" D. Ingres? Lasting happiness of being inexplicably sweet feeling of the Motherland is literally poured on us from the paintings by Plastov. But... that Russia, which was so fond of Layers, part of which he was already in his eyes were gone." Из last" (1969-70) @- is called one of the last major works of the artist. Peasant family in a field, during a short rest. All so natural and just so much. Peasant Holy family. A world of harmony and happiness. A bit of heaven on earth.
