Photo. Exhibition "at the easel, Vladimir Yakovlev. Zverev Center
 

March 15, 2009 would be 75 years old artist Vladimir I. Yakovlev (1934-1998). Birthday of the great Russian expressionist in Zverev Center for Contemporary Art (Novoryazanskaya, 29, p. 4) have prepared a small special exhibition. More information can be read here: http://artinvestment.ru/news/exhibit...ev_center.html

  The material consists of three parts. First, several large drawings, sketches Cyril Mamonova, who attended boarding school in the mental Yakovlev. The second part - almost an entire wall collage of portraits of Alexander Sabrina. He also photographed Yakovleva at the boarding school and skollazhiroval these pictures with recognizable gouaches and paintings by the artist. All seemed to present the birthday child. And, finally, the third part - drawings, and more sketches and drawings on the scratch pad pieces of paper from Vladimir Yakovlev. Images mostly non-profit, not adjusted, rough. Yakovlev painted for himself, as conditions permit (just do not draw could not). Man runs the risk of ill-prepared to see in them nothing but scribbles. So begin acquaintance with the work of the artist is from this show it would be rash. It is better to await the moment when you can comfortably watch the spectacular Yakovlevskij gouaches and oils, of the 1970's, 1980. And only then delve into the nuances. Exhibition "at the easel longer addressed longtime lovers, collectors, friends of the artist, who remember Yakovlev and such, and others. Not by chance on opening day apple was nowhere to fall (hence the muffled angles images): people aged 50-60 years had come for a holiday, birthday of the Russian genius. And now - that managed to photograph.

Quite interesting. Like photo number 3, 6 and 8:)

Vladimir Nemukhin in his memoirs of Anatoly Zverev, wrote that the latter is always very sensitive to the work of Yakovlev. While the creatures to their other colleagues on the shop floor was to be mostly indifferent. Is that a jealous, right? I before Yakovlevskij colors revere.

I think about the genius speak simply dishonest with respect to the artist, I think that he would not like it. Although recall Pavel Nikiforov: "I am a genius!" First, of course it all said that it is not. And then agreed with him. It's great to be near-genius. The genius is in fact no environmental assessment, this national recognition. Although it is desirable to note the live line of the artist, his talent as a direct person.

"National recognition" genius?
Ridiculous ... : D

And I think that's not funny, but on the contrary, exactly, although paradoxically. Just do not "recognition of genius, but something else. I will try to formulate, although by the end of thought is not thought of:), so please do not blame for the sloppy presentation: if a work of art is a deep echo in the heart person not prepared to his perception, not educated, it means that the author was able to rise to that height, which is unattainable for most other artists. Clearly, I do not mean the "People", which "hawala" and, accordingly, those who supplied it to him (eg he. Glazunov or Shilov).
