More than 90 years of life, fate did Athanasius Ivanovich Sheloumova of the South-Russian painter, most of which he spent in exile .
Stories on the theme of Russian history and the life he painted in the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, in Germany, postcards of his works were published in New York.

Athanasius was born in the ancient town of Kamenets-Podolsky, August 17, 1892. Soon the family moved to Balt Kherson province. Here in the southern town fairs were held regularly for the sale of horses. From a young age, watching these graceful animals small Athos tried to capture them with a pencil on paper or pencil on the board. His memory will forever remain the images and pictures of 1904, when the appeal was held not only men into military service, but also the mobilization of horses on the Russian-Japanese War. In twelve years, he took private lessons in drawing, preparing to enter the Odessa Art School. Later he continued his studies at the Petrograd Imperial Academy of Arts, where the tendency to battle paintings he instilled academic N.S.Samokish.
In the patriotic impulse at the outbreak of World War Sheloumov volunteered for the front. Tall (185 cm), good training rider, zeal for service Athanasius stood out among the lower ranks and soon became a cornet of the 10th Uhlan Regiment of Odessa. In the Civil War he unhesitatingly joined the White movement, fought in the 1st Army Corps General Kutepov, with whom he had gone into exile in the Crimea. Then, as the outcome of many participants in 1920, it is expected to Gallipoli camp, then was moved to the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes in 1921 godu.No no difficulties could not get him to part with a pencil, he always made sketches on the theme of military life: notebook replenished by living artist sketches of the fighting, and later - the Gallipoli "sitting."
Settling in Serbia, in Bechkerek, Sheloumov made a living by copying the works of famous artists Wanderers. Simultaneously, he created his own paintings, depicting them historically significant event for Russia - the war of 1812, the time of troubles, the Civil War. Very fond of the artist to paint the boundless steppes of southern Russia, cavalrymen. And horses, three, vehicles are invariably present in most of his paintings.
Of course, at that time the most famous and extremely popular, even fashionable was in Belgrade artist Stepan Kolesnikov, but it was another painting - for aesthetes, salons, and even royalty. Athanasius Sheloumov represented different direction. For him, as for several other former officers of artists who worked in Yugoslavia, the wound continues to bleed the world and civil wars in the memory faded images of that of Russia, which they lost. For 20 years in this town he created hundreds of good works. Being a supporter of the realist school, he painted the vast expanses of Russia, horses, Cossacks and Russian soldiers, hunting scenes.
In 1930 he participated in the most Sheloumov then known exhibition of Russian art in Belgrade. It was attended by over a hundred Russian artists living in exile in Europe and America. Athanasius Sheloumov presented to the public a picture of "The attack on the German General Wrangel battery". Among other participants of the Belgrade exhibition not to mention Benoit, Bilibin, Kolesnikova, Korovin, Repin and the Grand Duchess Olga. Even today a number of paintings are stored in museums Sheloumova Belgrade. In Bechkereke as there were no Russian at home, who would not decorate pictures Sheloumova. Moreover, it should be noted, the artist painted in his spare time. In those difficult years, he worked as a dyer in the railway workshops.
The capital of Serbia by Russian architects, scientists, intellectuals, becoming truly European city. But World War II interrupted the idyll of peaceful life in the Slavic countries. Like many Russian officers Totski became the ordinary Russian housing (in the Wehrmacht). It was such a unique form of self-defense against the massacre of Russian immigrants, has called the leftist forces of the Yugoslav resistance, it was, though weak, but hope to take part in the defeat of the Bolshevik regime in the Soviet Union by the German army. These calculations, it was not to be: the victorious advance of the Soviet Army forced korpusnikov away to the north-west, in Austria and Germany.
Sheloumov settled in Bavaria Starnberg, near Munich. Continuing to draw Totski his first exhibition on German soil devoted the 150th anniversary of the War of 1812 (Munich, 1962). Reproductions of his battle paintings were published in 1966, they advertised in Russian-language publications abroad.
In 60 years, the New York publisher K.Martyanov began producing postcards, using the themes of paintings A.I.Sheloumova. According to estimates of the famous explorer filokartista R.V.Polchaninova, only 11 cards were issued to seven figures. The major cards in foreign countries were greeting the New Year, Christmas and Easter. Therefore, the majority of them have Sheloumova. But the military theme in the visual arts has been so popular that some multi-figured compositions reproduced on postcards without even greeting texts. Among them - a colorful picture "Bohdan Khmelnytsky with the Cossack army," written in 1960 in Starnberg. On the canvas - a wide steppe, the Cossacks in bright clothes, hats, peaks. Pours daring marching song, headed columns, overcoming rivulet wade - he Bohdan Khmelnytsky, was smiling under his mustache.
