And look what a wonderful story in the article was found in Alexander Gremitskih:
"On the fiftieth anniversary venerable father, the artist Nikolai Gorlov told how he came to the colony Makarenko, and then immediately to the institute:" I arrived in Moscow on the roof boxcar-month in May. Sun is shining and the air, then cold. I freezed the whole . I remember crying on the platform, stepping barefoot on the warm boards. Heat, well, screwing up her eyes like a cat with pleasure. Suddenly, the back of the shoulder - the heavy cotton paw! I turned around - Mother of God! Security officers, I - run! I was caught - and colony to Makarenko. There's something I'm addicted to drawing.
Comes to us once a colony of Gorky. Brings with him Romain Rolland and his wife. I looked, and the Frenchman lucky red bochata on such a rich reddish-brown prinaytovany Maidan. Very much I liked them. And then the French bourgeois explicit. Blood, I suppose, how much, bastard, drank from theirs proletariat! In general, the class of the reasons I decided to expropriate the clock. Yes, Vladimir, this is not your wallet? "- He says to his father.
- My.
- And that he was there, lying on the table?
- Yes I have it in his pocket was a ...
- Never mind, let lie down until. So, I decided to Romain Rolland on the time to look. A clock-then and there! Collects all of us here Makarenko and quiet so sad to say, "What are you, my friends, again to the old? Worse than that, you know, no self-respecting thief in the guest will not take anything. Try to find out who did it, I will not, but I give you three minutes to watch was in place. Otherwise I will assume that all our efforts here in vain, and need to close the commune. " Took from his pocket a silver "Moser", opens the lid and puts on a tree stump. I felt ashamed that I am a lousy person, and the comrades because I bear the stain. I took, and after a minute and a quarter so neatly laid Rolland watch back in his pocket, even a chain fastened. Since then, not once did not take someone else's. Yes, Volodya, but where's your wallet? Just then, lying on the table!. How? Again you have in your pocket? Well, all right. And then you know. The colony was izokruzhok. There often people came and gave us lessons in drawing, BV Johansson. He invited me to college. And so there I am with you all sitting around the table, and got to know. "

Recorded all those going to the exhibition April 17 to 17.00 in the CHA in the list - will lie at the entrance to + say go to the opening and you just miss , even without the list ! Thank you all ! or come in every day until May 21 in room number 2 on the mezzanine floor.

Also wanted to ask this question of AI forum users . Encountered here in the discussion of the exhibition on Facebook with the fact that some people believe that , in the works of Impressionism Gorlova particularly out of the question ... but masterfully executed " Order time" ...
On the other hand say that the authorship of the term "Soviet " or "socialist Impressionism " , almost all belong to the distinguished antiquary Leonid Shishkin . And, "if this term is not too absolutes , it is quite possible to take "
So after all , where this term ? And how justified do you think ? it seems to me that many artists just can " sign " under some such can not art criticism and the definition of

say that the authorship of the term "Soviet " or "socialist Impressionism " , almost all belong to the distinguished antiquary Leonid Shishkin

This is unlikely. At least, I have heard this term not only to antiquarians and dealers , but also from the " academic " art . It is , in my opinion , a legitimate name for this style of art in the Soviet era .

And as to the time of ... Just do not tell , but actively "make impressionism " beginning " thaw " young people (artists mid-1950s ). Around the same time in the Pushkin Museum presents the exhibition was closed and opened to Stalin exposure of Western European art. Around the same time the so-called formalists have ceased to be renegades , and the word " Impressionism " has ceased to be a curse and blame . Maybe it 's when somebody used the first time the name "Soviet Impressionism " - and stuck.

Maybe it's when somebody used the first time the name" Soviet Impressionism "- and stuck.

Much later, closer to the restructuring.
