Full version of article VI Obrosova

He believes in the individuality of the artist

Eugraph V. Konchin, who was my friend for almost 50 years, has a unique psychological creative flair. Typically, art is tied to the author to some stylistic direction: impressionism, realism, abstract art. He's got a broad understanding of the creative personality. He writes about the artist, trying to find the priorities in his natural abilities, not flowing over the tree. The main thing is to define the meaning of the master's.
Not about every artist he is taken to write. All that makes this man comes from the significance of its main qualities: honesty, kindness, ability to see in the artist's personal integrity, which today is not enough. In their opuses our art critics do not have enough deep personal interest.
E. Konchin clearly understands that the art critic - a man of comprehensive knowledge. For me, such critics as Eugraph V. - art historians. They must determine the stages in the development of our society and seek a place of modern, artist described them in a series of past or present time. Art historian has the right to invent their own "bicycle". Maybe it will be a single wheel, or without a rudder, but it will be his "bicycle".
Eugraph death can not give a picture that you yourself do not close, because internally he understands that I am today in this space. Expanse of the landscape, the space issues of the day, the Russian land, rural Russia, which in one way or another, reflected in the artist. It is very important that he opened himself, opens the artist.
The sense of creativity and understanding Yevgraf Vasilyevich it as an art critic, is that he believes in the individuality of the artist in his personality. Today, in an age of destruction, he stands for creative work.
Modern creative personalities are in a difficult position, because something that they came, they were not satisfied, disappointing. And we the sixties, who believed then that we are artists, coming from the truth Tvardovskogo fact, today we see that all this remains in Thun. In the best case, all torn. Now comes "Glamour", crushing everything around. Failure to understand the meaning of art and its problems the younger generation of artists, committed to the so-called contemporary art, I can understand. To get experience, you must live the same complex life, what was our generation - a generation of children of war. This has affected our work because we are carried in itself all these complexities of life. Today, even following us creative people in confusion. They can not understand what is true, what sense in it and that there are social problems. The artist must solve these problems is not for anyone specifically, but for himself. In order to meet their own time. When I see that the formal methods overshadow social problems, I was disappointed. I close the words of Victor Popkov: "No one is responsible, as an artist for the moral world that surrounds him. If he moves away from the problems of society, he begins to serve not God but Satan. " This is clearly perceives and Eugraph V.. This understanding, as if the state of his own spiritual meaning, reacting to what happens in reality. And the reality is more destructive. He pulls out the artist's embrace of this situation with the fact that he had found a state of freedom, morality.
In the opening days of his did not immediately notice. He modestly goes away or comes to the exhibition, when it is free of spectators. When the Academy of Arts Medal was presented by E. demise of the Academy, he was feeling uneasy, said that he considered himself unworthy. But he, in fact, passed all his life with the artists. He knew our creativity with izmalstva. I believe that in the sense of moral encouragement, we are far, far Eugraph Vasilievich Doda. But this is his greatness. In the words of Pushkin: "The artist himself judge. He is spiritually rise above all that is happening now, based on the postulates of morality. Thus he has always supported us.
Unfortunately, the attitude of the artist to man, nature and society to understand only with age, having lived a great life. How much was made vain efforts and empty work!
Now people like E. Konchin becoming less and less. He does not feel that the inactivation of their moral inner peace. His spirituality is stronger, more noble, above all those around this person.
