Alexander Labas in the timing
 

April 12, the Day of Cosmonautics, the Russian Museum (The Benois Wing) opened an exhibition of Alexander Labasa. Day specifically chosen, as was mentioned in the speeches at the opening.
The official press release can be found at RM. I will not repeat it here.
In composition, show a little different from what it was in the TG in the Crimean.
There is a large humanoid design, hardly any of his theatrical works, there is little recent space fantasy. On the one hand, the bad, the other, well, as a result of an encapsulated exhibition.
Putting on the Crimean (let's face it, some type of Shed) contributed to the perception of more "futuristic" work of Labasa.
In the Russian turned out somewhat different picture. Small scale facilities, and dictated a somewhat different nature of the exposure. At first the plan was released soon lyrical aspect of his work. Maybe I'm just a patriot, Peter, but I liked our exposition more than Moscow.
Besides, I do not remember that, in Moscow, were his early work (though perhaps just a memory fails)
Here is a report
1 - performs Petrova (RM)
2 - Olga Beskin-Labas

By the way , Marina Loshak (specially arrived for the opening ) , in his speech said that there are two figures in Soviet art , especially the favorite intellectuals - Labas and Falk ( Falk and later) . As in any scheme that is known is not true , but I'm pretty its position .

By the way, remember the wonderful exhibition of Labasa , which she arranged for a dedicated solo exhibition , held in 1960 or 70 at the Kuznetsk . There were great plans for the exposition of the exhibition , drawn in the preparation of Labasa .

Someone here recently mentioned it in one of the best facilitators - totally agree

The artist, of course, powerful.
Plastic and amazing understanding of space .
It should also be noted that Labas is one of those artists who really lose when you play that on paper, on screen) . In contrast , for example, Nesterov , who now hangs in the adjacent rooms, or even the same Feshin that here too , settled in the neighborhood .

Incidentally, № 3 - is a portrait of the artist Heinrich Vogeler.
An interesting figure.
German, began with modernism (Art Nouveau, and German) and school Vorpsverde.
Then, the poor fellow, became interested in communist ideas.
In the 30s he moved to the Soviet Union.
In 1941, of course, was exiled to Kazakhstan, where he died in the 42nd.

Well, the latest pictures.

I thought that somewhere on the forum is reporting from Moscow exhibition Labasa on the Crimean, and found none.
Whether it was looking bad, then the firm Konstantin & Vladimir a no nonsense.
Sleep is probably a lot ...

Therefore, the more photos posted.

By the way , Marina Loshak ( especially come to the opening ) in his speech said that there are two figures in Soviet art, especially loved the intelligentsia - Labas and Falk ( Falk and later). As in any scheme that is known is not true, but I'm sympathetic to her position .

By the way, remember the remarkable exhibition of Labasa , which she arranged at dedicated solo exhibition , held in 1960 or 70 at the Kuznetsk . There was a wonderful exposition of the exhibition plans drawn Labasa in preparation .

Someone here recently mentioned one of five curators - totally agree

The artist, of course , powerful.
Plastic and understanding of space amazing.
It should also be noted that Labas refers to those artists who really lose when you play it on paper, on screen). Unlike, for example , Nesterov, which now hangs in the adjacent rooms , or even the same Fechin that here, too , settled in the neighborhood .

10 - this is probably one of the first artistic interpretation of the escalator. At the Crimean , I remember , were full-scale drawings of Labasa, on the construction of just this sloping tunnel. In Peter did not bring them .

Incidentally, № 3 - it is a portrait painter Heinrich Vogeler.
Interesting figure.
German, began with Art Nouveau (Jugendstil in German) and the school Vorpsverde.
Then, the poor fellow, became interested communist ideas.
In the 30th moved to the Soviet Union.

Whether looking for bad, the firm Konstantin & Vladimir brooms not knits.

Therefore, put more pictures.

Thank you, it is also interesting, but I was referring to a large solo exhibition of Labasa in the TG in the Crimea, which was then Verevkina.

It was a very good show, with a dip into the atmosphere, with the reconstruction . It was widely publicized , and the site we have had articles and Labasa site of the Fund shortly before it appeared ( with good photos). In short , post amateur photos I found inappropriate. But they survived.

Thank you , Comrade . Fabosh .

But some will remember the exhibition at the Kuznetsk Labasa in 1976 and even the presence of the master , who finally waited like personal computers .

When I then saw Alexander Glezer , it reminded me somewhat Labasa : figure, posture , even a person ...
Even a gray jacket : Labas at the Kuznetsk was in such a gray jacket , pale skin , a translucent, then seemed to me the student, something beyond the old man , but now I know how many are much older than his artists ...
I mean at that time , in 1976 , when he was 76 years. How is my friend ... Gorbanevskaya

Yes, in the 76th , I was no longer a student.
But it definitely did not know this name - Labas ...
