His art has incorporated the experience of the avant-garde, faith in rebuilding peace and a sense of ownership of time. Key in the artist's motives - aviation, sports and work - were the basis of large-format paintings in which the Soviet "youth and the heroic work wonderfully relaxing.

Was yesterday on opening day. Surprisingly, how original artist Dejneka was in the twenties - the first half of the thirties, and then how all gone off somewhere. It is clear that the creative assignment for the U.S. and France with a report like painting "Unemployed Paris" could not add much skill and courage, but still ... somehow very sharply.
By the way, the exhibition represented group "running girls", from which it was modeled that masterpiece that was sold on Sovkome and widely discussed at the forum year and a half ago.
And most of all like "football" from the collection of B. Tsarenkova, indeed, excellent work.

And you "Road to Mount Vernon, see?
She had been in the Astrakhan Picture Gallery, but then it changed and it became the Russian Museum.

And the unemployed are not in Paris, and Berlin.

By the way, the exhibition represented group "running girls", from which it was modeled that masterpiece that was sold on Sovkome and widely discussed at the forum year and a half ago.

Do you think that it was a fake?
There are at least two pictures of "Lunch in the Donbass, and another picture on this theme.

And most of all like "football" from the collection of B. Tsarenkova, indeed, excellent work.

Socialist realism in deynekovskom version really delicious. However, a retrospective honestly shows: Dejneka by and large was an artist with just one topic - Training and Sports. He was given great urban landscape: poluderevensky Kursk in 1920, Solar Sebastopol and Rome in 1930, Moscow in anti-tank hedgehogs and balloons defense in the first half of 1940, picturesquely bombed-out Vienna and Berlin - in the second. He has a wonderful, passing the landscape still life from the "dry leaves, elegant graphics, hatched, scratched on the handle of rotten paint brush. But his main interest - the human figure, preferably nude: wide hips, broad shoulders, strong calves, strong chest - kalokagatiyny ideal Soviet athlete. Under this ideal has been set up his system of painting, which was synthesized rodchenkovskuyu photograph of a fresco Quattrocento: angle, mounting the low point of view, the spot, silhouette, color asceticism, the dazzling whiteness - all to figure appeared monumental, full-length. The figure does not matter who: drummer labor, barefoot women textile or swarthy miner, both in production patterns time remains, homeland defense, as in the "Defense of Sevastopol", invader homeland, as lying next to the aerial gymnasts' Kills ace. But more often a football player, skier, runner, skater, swimmer and osoaviahimovtsa - mosaics in the subway station Mayakovskaya, in the frescoes of the Theatre of the Red Army, in stained glass, relief and round sculpture, which is a thoughtful poster Deineka flatly came out badly.

It would seem an ideal base for more ambitious work that - in accordance with academic principles - from nude to go to the two main and mutually penetrating social realism genre: portraits and historical paintings. But the portrait was not his element: his wife, Parisian and other citizen - all on one person and different except that the color of hair, some - blondes, others - brunette. But the historical pattern does trouble. In ostovskuyu time he get out somehow: the song "The Defense of Petrograd" with the departing of the civil war Komsomol members had fought with the "Addresses of Jena students" Ferdinand Hodler, a picturesque political pamphlet, "Who whom?" mounted historical interest in the industrial landscape with a constructivist foremost production. But since the early 1940's, when avant-garde such liberties have been unthinkable, went kind of horror. Absurd "Zaporizzya" anecdotal "Battle of Amazons," where it is not clear that it is ridiculous: a girl with a hoe naked, her vicious mongrel, a guy in a Spartan helmet, poryuschy busty aunt with a sword by the pope, like hickory or common errors in anatomy. To think that the famous art critic of Mussolini, who called Deineko "true Roman," a little temper.

Because of this inability to tell a great heroic story about something other than football and Osoaviachima he did not become the first artist of the Stalinist era. Sport - he, of course, the world, but there is still war and other important matter. Golden deynekovsky century was brief: time triumphant, carefree and legkonogo Art Deco design station Mayakovskaya passed quickly. Apparently he himself understood, tormented, shortly before the pioneers of Khrushchev's "severe style" began to develop his achievements since the first five-year plans, fell into a marasmic pestrovaty impressionism.

Powerful artist, but very uneven. But "Knocked down Al - Strashko else.

We opened the exhibition on the Crimean Val Alexander Deineka curious name. How to assure the organizers, the artist himself, it would probably have liked. Line "work, build and do not whine!" Spied one of the posters Deineki. And so now titled exposition, consisting of paintings, drawings, sculpture, graphic arts and mosaics of Alexander Deineki.
All this wealth was brought on the Crimean shaft of the picture gallery of the Kursk. Deineka, Perm State Art Gallery, Russian Museum and private collections. A few paintings literally removed from the walls inside the Tretyakov Gallery and renovated specially for the exhibition.
If you agree with the view that some artists do not just write, but to create images of his time, Alexander Deineka just one of them. Moscow, for example, simply required the artist to its architectural business cards. He participated in the design of the main building of Moscow State University on Lenin Hills, pavilions VDNH, the Moscow metro. Memories of the Soviet era to materialize on his canvases. And not only in Russia. West, thoroughly examining the domestic avant-garde, all with great attention refers to the Soviet Socialist Realism. And the first in this series - Alexander Deineka, successor of the avant-garde traditions in new soil.

The Soviet artist created a series of images and symbols have targeted more than one generation (not in vain reproductions of works Deineki - frequent guests of school textbooks). The main motivations - sport, work, aviation. The main characters - the workers, football players, miners and countless airplanes. The exhibition at the Tretyakov Gallery, there are the usual work: the young "future pilots" and examining frozen in the sky plane, or the defenders of Sevastopol, catching courageously facing death. And there is no metropolitan audience had seen the restored "The Cossacks" and brought from Kursk "Footballer", who represented Russia at the Venice Biennale two.

According to the memoirs of contemporaries, Alexander Deineka was a great optimist, who believed that life is worth only go forward and fight for their happiness. In general, work, build, and do not whine. Heroes Deineki literally breathe strength and confidence that whatever they do - down into the mine, went to battle, or participated in the relay. Painter equally zhizneutverzhdayusch depicting Parisian cafe (Dejneka traveled a lot and, incidentally, was familiar with European art) or lyrical still-lifes with dried flowers. And even the artist paints are incredible energy. Just look at his collective farm in poppy-red dress, riding a bicycle against a background of emerald-green forests.

Work, build, and not whine! "- A phrase from a famous poster of Alexander Deineki 1933 gave its name to a large exhibition of his paintings, drawings, sculptures, marking the 110 anniversary of the artist, which opened in the Crimean Val.
The largest of the modernist socialist realists, energetic by the magazines "Give," "Bezbozhnik barre" and creator of mosaics from a series of "Day of the Soviet Union" on station "Mayakovskaya, singer Stakhanovites and monumental athletic torsos and illustrator of children's books and sports fan, Alexander Deineka was the ideal bridge between the art of past centuries and the future. If Malevich declared: "... for me, comrade aviators, swim in the abyss, I installed the semaphores of Suprematism", then Dejneka populate this suprematic abyss very real characters. Worker from the truck, footballers, athletes, Komsomol and other fleeing heroes. They hover in the weightless space created by the artist. And soar not only people, shops and railway depot, and even rocks. On the canvas in 1932 with the expressive title "In the air" in the clouds and the plane flies, and it seems that even a rock. Earth is not visible at all. This "separation" from the laws of terrestrial gravity, as a powerful movement, running, flying - to the finish, goal, to the sun, appear as a symbol of liberation from the shackles of history. But it is also clear that all those flying for the ball players that have unfolded in the dash and march muscular girls resemble figures from the frescoes and paintings Deineko admired artists of the Renaissance. And flying them some very renaissance spirit. It is a strange connection - Supremacist, fractured space and powerful figures soaring, gravity and lightness - is fascinating to dizziness. No wonder this modernist among the most important for a teacher named Vladimir Andreevich Favorsky.

Even more interesting that the exhibition at the Tretyakov Gallery allows you to discover how to "withdraw" the word Deineki in contemporary art. Well, about that of Deineka, as if from Gogol's "Overcoat", came out of our "sixties" with their "severe style" and the cult of simplicity and sincerity, we all know. But the current exhibition can be seen for the first time after years of restoration of the huge canvases: "The Cossacks" (1939-1940), "Battle of the Amazons" (1947), "Nikitka - the first Russian Squirter" (1940), "Bather" (1951). In these huge piece of cloth that resembles a little of flights awake the previous decade. Flight Nikitka - in fact, a mortal leap, and he, with outstretched wings, like the crucified. Rapture in battle, nevsamdelishnaya ferocity and beauty of these works - a straight road to cinematic blockbusters.
Generally cinematic works Deineki simply striking. Not only that, he draws figures of athletes, gymnasts in very complex ways. He likes to deploy movement in different phases. We can say - as a monumental frieze band, and you can - as a reel.
Today, his art is regarded not only as an example of the artist-socialist realists, but as a master of "alternative" modernism of the twentieth century. But one thing is clear: the alternatives offered by today's audience Deineka, much richer than we are accustomed to expect from the singer's bright future.
