Now it seems a fait logical and correct that after graduation the young specialist sent to teach at the Ashkhabad Art School.

Today remember matured students Gennady Jakovljevic , to teach them was not easy .

For a boy orphaned teacher not only opened a world of beauty and art , but actually replaced his father . In the complex turning point in his teenage years , when the two fought in the soul of passion D.Bayramova - football and painting - it Brusentsov influenced the youth to become an artist , and after graduating from the Surikov Institute in Moscow Durdy understood that made ​​the most important choices in their lives .

Since writing this story due G.Ya.Brusentsova famous painting "Portrait of a footballer " ( 1955 , a collection of the State Tretyakov Gallery ) . Between the passion for football Durdy often ran to the training than in the scenic classes and once Gennady Ya Man ​​sat in the studio and began to paint his portrait . Talked about many things , and at the end of a sudden the teacher said : "Choose - painting or football! ". Authority of teachers , inner voice or just fate was determined by the choice of the young artist , but his whole future career showed the correctness of that decision.

In Turkmenistan life Gennady Yakovlevich held between teaching and creative work. He goes to the easel painting, begins to actively work on portraits of contemporaries and thematic paintings .

They epitomize the clear and correct ideas , full of inner meaning , which is revealed through the composition , perfect figure , bright, almost sounding flavor , author painting techniques . On the work of the artist can watch endlessly . And it's not a metaphor - Turkmen portraits and sketches brought to Sevastopol apartment - studio, attracts the eye, acted as a magnet for the viewer . Even in a creative environment , surrounded by various patterns and new canvases , fine art books you realize that before you is a work of art , true value ! Today we can see some of these works in private collections and galleries in Ukraine. Among them are "The Girl under the tree " (1957) and "Portrait of the pianist " (1963 )

( Laughs ) - When Gennady Ya arrived, things changed very quickly and began to prepare for exhibitions in advance to the sketches began to travel regularly and orders for painting in the city also went , and before that only sculpture and monumentalka needed ... I believe that all of us are extremely lucky that I came Brusentsov ! I think many people saw him as a mentor. And Eugene Smirnov ( Honored Artist of Ukraine E.V.Smirnov ) can be called a true disciple Gennady Yakovlevich "

In Sevastopol period of the artist spent a lot of pictures of the Great Patriotic War. " Almond blossomed " (1974 , Kherson Museum of Art ) by general opinion is one of the most profound and at the same time lyrical works about the war created in Ukrainian art.
