Petrov-Vodkin "Family commander"
 

The painting " Family commander" is the last work of Kuzma Petrov -Vodkin.
There are two versions of this thing :
 1936. (sometimes stated in 1937 a year ), x /m, 75.5 h61 ,
stored in the Tula Museum of Fine Arts [1]
and
version of the 1938 year , c /m , 116h98 , Picture Gallery . Kuzma Petrov -Vodkin, Khvalynsk [2].

The first version was sharply criticized by a commission of members of the jury the exhibition ( the 20th anniversary of the Red Army ?) , Was modified by the author, but this version was not accepted.

Yes, sad to see the decline of skill of the artist, who at that time was about 60 years.

Also one of the last things - "Housewarming (Petrograd worker)."
 
1937, c /m, 204x297, TG.

Petrov- Vodkin strongly ill.
He in 1927 due to illness, moved from Shuvalov (then 12 km from Findlyanskogo station, the station is now included in the municipal district of Vyborg district of St. Petersburg) in famous for its healthy climate Kids Village (now Pushkin), where for eight years living in the famous Pushkin Lyceum.

But in 1928-1929. tuberculous process takes threatening severe form and within three to four years, he has almost completely deprived of the opportunity to paint with oil , because the damaged lungs react badly to the smell of oil paint and forced to severely limit educational activities at the Academy of Fine Arts.
At this time, he often treated in health centers in Leningrad , in the Crimea and the Caucasus.

In truth, only the commander's family evokes a feeling akin to that which is necessary to experience when in the company of someone lyapnet something is something.
Is awkward is, I want to hide your eyes ...

A Housewarming - so I just love this thing

Well, Housewarming - it is some kind of strained and insincere.
But!
But " Apple and Lemon " and " Bird cherry in a glass " - is the same for five years before! But this is an absolute masterpiece ...

Yes, and " Alarm" - a great picture , perfectly capture the state of citizens at the time.
Indeed, Petrov -Vodkin was friendly with various outcasts , with the same Ivanov-Razumnik , who sat on the links and jails (by the way , all would strongly rekomedoval his book, " Prisons and links."
Do you know about Kuznetsova , I would not agree.
He has, in my opinion, there were no bad pictures.
I mean even I do not remember .

"The daughter of a fisherman" - a beautiful thing.
