[Евгений]

The exhibition of 110-th anniversary of the artist Alexander Deineki represents the State Tretyakov Gallery. Monumental - is perhaps the best description of not only the style master, but to describe his personality. Judgments contemporaries about Deineko surprise his contradictory. However, large seen from a distance. Soviet art criticism often prefer to present works of Alexander Deineki as a model of proletarian art. Today, in his works not only hear the anthem of the era, but the echo of the eternal values. And for those who wish to study in depth the subtleties of the author's style Deineka, Tretyakov prepared more than a hundred and fifty of his works, collected from five Russian museums. They say "News of Culture".

Work, to build and not whine! "- Dejneka followed this principle all his life. Whining artist considered a manifestation of human weakness. He himself knew how to keep the strike. In his youth he wanted to become a boxer and his coach predicted a great future. Deineka become an outstanding artist, with talent which reflected a bygone era.
"The artist is very recognizable. It is not so often the case, especially for Soviet art in the traditional sense, we are talking about "- says the director of the Tretyakov Gallery Irina Lebedeva.

«We are seeing some kind of factory women Deineki. They were given such a perspective, they sketched a line that draws attention to this and, literally, fall in love, but fall in love with art, "- remarked the director of the Kursk art gallery named after Alexander Deineki Igor Pripachkin.
Specially for the exhibition has been renovated several large canvases Deineki. "Nikitka - the first Russian Squirter", "Battle of the Amazons" and "The Cossacks". The last picture is exhibited only once in 1941. This is perhaps the most unusual and mysterious work of the artist. So far, it is not clear why it was written and who was a customer. One theory: it was created for the anniversary of Gogol.
"The newspaper noted this thing as an attempt to experiment. Maybe not very successful. According to the reviewer, in the picture too much aplomb. Indeed, there are many chic. But we decided that we need it to us at this exhibition ", - says the exhibition curator Elena Voronovich.

In recent years, creativity Deineki attracts professionals in America and Europe. Professor North-American university in Chicago, Christina CARE studying his work for eight years.
