"Konstantin Korovin. Painting. Theatre "

The Tretyakov Gallery , March 29 - August 12, 2012
Moscow, Krimsky Val, 10 , Halls № 60-61

The largest exhibition project of the year , " Konstantin Korovin. Painting. The theater " dedicated to the famous painter abroad XIX - XX centuries Konstantin Korovin (1861-1939 ). Artist organically adopted and reinterpreted the picturesque tradition of modern European art , earning the reputation of "the first Russian Impressionist ».

He was at the opening - great, another definition can not find a descent , because the terms " good" and " cool " does not reflect the scale of the event. A very large and interesting exhibition. Feel free to put it on a par with exhibitions Levitan , the Paris school and the Blue Rider , in the past year.
The exhibition is built both chronologically and by topic , I do not know how it managed to combine , but failed. It is interesting to observe changes in the works , from early where there is no evident influence of the armed eye , and Serov and Polenov - up to a mature , strong, independent creativity.
- Press conference
- Presentation of the new book catalog.
- Works 1880 - 1890 's.

It was on the show not expecting something wonderful . Well, Korovin, Russian Impressionist Well , well, one of the most counterfeited artists , so what? No psychological upheaval is not expected to know much more influential for me, the art community of people who do not go and not go to this exhibition , such as not interesting artist .
And suddenly broads - shock.
Bright , light and extremely positive energy from the pictures . Poor and middle there, and lots of pictures of about 250. For us now, after a winter avitaminosis - what the doctor ordered.

Separately, a panel talked about this, that at some point in time, they were considered lost and then miraculously survived and were found, and then restored.

But if the fair - not very big but the size and everything.
But to understand the background, than in any period studied - is interesting.

And then suddenly plunge into the Crimea. Gurzuf 1911 - 1917.
The maximum saturated with sunshine and light painting. And suddenly caught myself thinking - where anticipation of the revolution? The years - it 1914, 1917. where the impending disaster ? Do not feel? But no sooner would not let here it for nearly 50 years , the personal tragedy of his son , health problems and in spite of it - the joy of life in his paintings .

A series of still lifes 1912 - 1918 years.
Something unusual, walked back and forth along the row of twenty times, people have begun to pay attention, and it is not enough.
Absorb, absorb, absorb energy.

I looked all Korovina.Prekrasnaya zhivopis.Oboshel several raz.V each of its period is simply wonderful veschi.Chelovek saw the color, and it pisal.Korovin - impressionist - sufficient symbol. (By the way while in Paris he was about Monet and does not remember , but admires artists closer to Bastien- Lnpazhu ). He studied with the Impressionists, is not created and wrote his shkoly.Impressionisty light on things, Korovin same color of the surface took one stroke , where the impressionists their desyat.Prosto Beautifully written , for example white on green in the film " Letom.Siren " ( the lady lilac and barrel ). I liked the work written in Dieppe , the ships in the Marsele.Portret Masini is not inferior to Serov , (maybe superior ). and what a carefree Chaliapin at a resort in Vichy , a portrait of 1911 year. ! Wonder still lives, on the other will not tell ! Full of impressions , and their supports quite a decent catalog of the exhibition , it is better than it was at the Levitan .

I love painting by Konstantin Korovin .
But!
Personally, I had even offended that he does not have any one main branded paintings . Something like " Girl with Peaches " his friend Valentin Serov , or " Pan " (" Demon dwelleth between ," " The Swan Princess " ), Mikhail Vrubel.
We can recall and Isaac Levitan few things clearly branded - " Eternal Peace ", for example , or " Golden Autumn ", " Vladimirovka ", "March" ...
Maybe Korovin is " Portrait of Chaliapin "? Or "The balcony. Spanish flu" ? "Paper lanterns "? I do not know ...
I now lacks some of its top-end hit.
