Artists Vladimir school of art

[Жар-птица]

In the fifties, the 20 th century became the main genre of painting landscape. He was born hard. His awareness was going through the exemption "and thematic", from the obvious and apparent inclusiveness big story cloths, which determined the work of leading artists of the thirties-forties. Even the founders of a new direction in landscape KN shaving and VY Yoockin started in the forties with the case of paintings and portraits on the war. It was their stories and experiences and friends, and so permeated with great feeling. But still, it was a tribute to time, and proclivities are not a manifestation of his soul. The latter was born in communion with remarkable masters of landscape KI Mazin and SM Chesnokov, through which the shaving Yoockin began not only to learn the secrets of the works of great Russian landscape painters of the XIX century, but deeper and thinner and feel the beauty and character of the native land of Vladimir. This laid the foundations for further creative search in the landscape.

were initiated individually by each survey soon joined Britova and Yukina. They write a lot in the vicinity. Mstiora, discussing made, analyze. Their attention is increasingly attracting creative FA Vasilyev, A. Savrasov, I. ILevitana, MV Nesterova .. Through these artists went on a profound comprehension of Russian lyrical landscape filled with spiritualized human feelings. Pictures were written by them in the soft color scheme, which provides the richness of tones and transitions of a state of nature to another. Soft palette facilitated the transfer of peaceful and contemplative mood of elegiac, restrained, but the depth of emotional color. Until the mid-fifties, was busy learning process of the rich artistic experience of the past, which is gradually taking shape their own way in the landscape.
        Search and experiment significantly increased by the end of the fifties. At this time, to Britovu and Yukina joins Volodimirets Valery Kokurin, then - Nicholas Mokrov. And in 1959 VY Yoockin moved to Vladimir from Mstiora. In Vladimir final shape of their creative collaboration that gave birth to a remarkable phenomenon in the Russian landscape. By this time the artists have clearly defined their artistic passions. They obsessing landscapes LV Turzhansky, PI Petrovicheva, I. Grabar, KF Juon, AA Rylov, AIKuindzhi.
       They are interested in the production release of the landscape, its festive colors, the sound of paint. They discover a whole world of the unknown art tools that can stir the soul to the depths of man and bring it to the rapture before opening the beauty of Russian nature.
       Britov frantically engaged in color, texture looking letters, luminous colors. Yukina care about the state of nature, immediately experienced with the senses. Kokurin, being a born colorist, trying to understand and convey the colorful state of nature and its light-air environment.
       The themes of the paintings are of Vladimir villages and small district towns, bazaars, ancient streets, inconspicuous fields and woods - everything that is full of quiet provincial life, beyond which lies a powerful reservoir of popular culture that has remained a bright pile identity and modernity supply Stainless source of eternal beauty. The fact that in Vladimir will have its own independent school of painting, experts spoke in 1960, when all three artists showed their work at the First Republican exhibition "Soviet Russia".
       Obschnosg their aesthetic views, the unity of artistic style and creative method, for all the individual style of each of them, called to talk about the sustainable integrity of a new direction in the landscape. Since vladimirsky landscape is constantly evolving and enriched with new achievements. On the basis of a whole galaxy of artists grew, his creativity have confirmed the viability and seriousness begun searching for a new expressive landscape.
        This V. Egorov, V. Kalinin, A Kuvin, V. Kuvin, MLevin, N. Modorov, N. Mokrov, V. Telegin, E. Telegin, V. Titov, and others. It is worth remembering that the written and said in those years and the birth of Vladimir landscape and its features. One of the first rejoined Platon Pavlov. He wrote: "The search for color brightness demanded from the artists address some specific pictorial and decorative tasks. Job" open "tones primarily affects the transfer of pictorial space. In these cases, a simple weakening of color saturation through the blur or razbelennosti tones in the background may be necessary to break the unity of color solutions.
        Therefore, in the paintings of the Vladimir often back plans no less intense in color than the front, but the quality of the color background, which they are written, such that the viewer does not go away the impression of space. Artists achieve this through the selection and especially the exact combination of color tones. This picturesque system entails a particular way to build the track.
       It is no accident in the Vladimir artists master node, the center composition - a building or a tree - and often most intense in color. But a particularly important role in their paintings is the color rhythm. Artists are not afraid to repeat the spot of the same tone, deploying them on the canvas. Characteristic devices of Vladimir landscape is to use a high horizon and the high point of view.
       This technique enhances the decoration. The sky in paintings usually takes a modest place: either it lurks somewhere between the houses, or is depicted as a narrow strip under the top bar frames. Sometimes it do not exist. But the earth like flowery carpet. Trees, houses, streets are sometimes arranged in tiers, as it were. With regard to technology, that painting, often Thickly pained, differs from the Vladimir artists energetic, broad strokes. "The success and creative growth of Vladimir landscape were fixed with each new display of paintings.
       In 1970 they performed in Moscow with a separate group exhibition. participated VY Yoockin, KN Writ, VG Kokurin, N.. V. Mokrov, NN. Modorov and B Egorov. Demonstrating the work of past years. In this regard, an art critic Yu Nekhoroshev noted that "the paintings draw attention to themselves emphasized bright colors, combined, as they say," in full force'"... Such an understanding of the principle of decoration, characteristic of folk art, is inherent and the finest works of Vladimir painters ... Highlighted rough texture of canvas, a special "rough" primer used Vladimirtsov create an additional decorative effect. Local color spots, as it were broken up on the canvas, which contributes to the optical mixing of colors, makes them "vibrate".
       Such "impressionistic" techniques applying paint can be found in K. Korovin, and Grabar, and other Russian artists. It should be noted that Vladimirec boost this technique, that ... for their landscapes become quite organic ". Appreciation of Vladimir painting was given as E. Kostina (1962), O. Voronova (1968), J. Porto (197O), E. Mozhuhovskaya (1970).
       But there was a dull incomprehension, and even rejection. Even in 1964 the magazine "Artist" in the article "In the power of the stamp" art critic accused of Vladimir V. Nordshteyn artists' retreat from diversity in the world ", the" standard "and" stereotyped "approach to the image of nature as a whole - to "narrowing of the creative horizon. The official view expressed at that time chairman of the Union of Artists of the RSFSR GM Korzhev on creative conference devoted to discussing the outcome of the zonal and national exhibitions in 1970, devoted to 100 anniversary of Lenin's birth. "It's been a few years - he said - with a light hand some of the art at first jokingly, but recently quite seriously and without quotation marks to approve such name as" Vladimir School of Painting ... The increased interest in their painting style, too quickly in popularity, which helped them get some of our press have led the Vladimir artists, unfortunately, not to new discoveries, but to trample on the spot, to the endless mastication of the same motives. From the history of art, we know that art schools have always occurred on a solid foundation of serious art program that they have enriched the tradition, claimed the new principles for the sake of growing closer to the truth of life. In the so-called Vladimir "school", in our opinion, is the opposite. "
       Principles of the new art had to stand in long discussions and tenacious creativity - the creation of increasingly sophisticated canvases. The seventies was a time of full recovery of Vladimir painting and fixing its aesthetic concept. In Moscow, a monograph published O. Voronova "Vladimir landscape painters" (1973, second edition - 1987), who summarized many years of artistic experience of painters, showed the significance of their contribution to the development of Russian national landscape.
       It's finally time enthusiastic recognition and worldwide fame. This usually happens with major art events in the arts. Recall impressionism and post-Impressionism in France, "blue rose" or "Jack of Diamonds" in Russia. After a period of generalizations of art criticism and sought to identify creative face of each of the leading masters of the school. This happens mostly in the eighties, when many of them have gained the maturity and the landscape school of Vladimir in full force showed its identity and vitality.
       In 1980, the publishing house "Artist of the RSFSR" releases an album of reproductions of works of VY Yukina with an introduction by N. Shamardina and V. Arofikina, in 1985 the same publishing house published a monograph of V. Desyatnikov KN Britove, and in 1988 Journal Art publishes creative portrait VG Kokurina, written by B. Basmanov. In 2006 published a book author O.Ermolaeva-Vdovenko Kim B'rith about the life and work of a remarkable artist.
       Today, the best works of the founders and the leading masters of the Vladimir school of landscape painting is stored in the central art collections in Russia - the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow and Russian Museum in St. Petersburg, as well as a number of foreign and domestic museums. Their fame has long crossed the border of Russia. All this is a testament to their talent and skill, which they generously share with his disciples.
       Continuity and change in tradition - the hallmark of the Vladimir school of landscape painting. It is open for regular searches, but because in it there is always room for further development of its creative method. This eloquent work of Telegina E. and W. Telegina. Talented artists have proven subtle lyricism. Working in a completely different color style using muted, refined silver and pearl colors, they showed new, unexpected opportunities vladimirskogo landscape - a gentle, elegiac enlightened and refined.
       The recent untimely death of Eugene Telegina contacted by the high expectations of the Vladimir school of landscape - an irreparable loss for the Vladimir painting. One could perhaps say that none of the painters of the organization, both older and younger generations are not passed the life-giving influences of the Vladimir school.

       This explains the variety of individual artistic handwriting, which marked the talented work of original masters, as N. Abramov, N. Baranchuk, Bakhvalov, V. Dynnikov, Y. Zharov, EM Zolotov, O. Izmailov, A. Komarov, A. Kuvin, V. Kuvin, N. Kurnikov, Yu Lobachev, N. Lugovskaya, V. Meleshenko, E. Redko, V. Sevost'yanov, Semenov, I. Taktash, V. Titov, T. Tyumentseva, V. Fedyanov, A. Kharchenko, N. Sheryshev, Yudin. All the more pronounced talent of young artists - N. Britovoy, O. Modorova, A. Tikhonov, V. Fomyuka.
       For nearly forty years of Vladimir painting continues to be the leading trend among the other arts, which demonstrated its great potential. And naturally, that the creative life of the organization over the years led the most talented artists: KN Britov (1956-1965), LA Fomichev (1976-1979), VY Yoockin (1965 - 1971, 1979-1985 ), NN Modorov (1971-1976), EP Telegin (1992-1995).
       Certain "variance of" genre painting and its latitude of recent years are likely to erode well-established channel to a single style, which continue to operate the founders of the Vladimir school of landscape painting. But this laid the preconditions and the birth of new artistic pursuit and the possible addition of new styles of painting in Vladimir
