Alexander Deineka exhibition at the Tretyakov Gallery

[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.

The main thing in the works Deineki - movement. He conveys in pictures
the rhythm of the times and spirit of the time, choosing the most unexpected angles. Deineko repeatedly accused of formalism: for banner, graphic quality, a generalized image of plaque and Western modernism. Dejneka pauses and continued to do things their own way. Over time, finds the artist turned to its main advantages. Pictures do not lose momentum and urgency.

«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.
"It socialist realists. But if he is socialist realists, this means that socialist realism - not what we think "- she said.
Creativity Deineki not fit into the Procrustean bed of official art. At the end of the life of the artist perceives reality differently than in the era sotsoptimizma. When asked would he repeat the first, replied: "None. Too troublesome. "

He said fine. I do not think it is socialist realists. I think that he managed to work around it, remains honest as an artist. Those who studied with him, understood this instinctively. We ran to look at the work of students, about which he said "that's the work for which should be set or" five "or" two "... Here he was at that time so someone must be" set or "five" or "two" ... Now it shows. and then chose to keep mum, who knew ... too strong talent, chose to be called socialist realists - as the saying goes "even naming the pot, not only in the furnace soot.

I think it is no secret that in 1924 was a massive "cleaning of students of universities. Not escaped her, and VHUTEMAS, which was ordered to reduce the number of students by 20%. Here are the details of this "cleansing" are still unknown. Here's an interesting example (excerpt from the report):

But I wonder - when is it finally go away. He'll get away attitude to the artist on the basis of its relationship with the government. No, not even a relationship, but from its adoption,
and with a plus sign and the sign "minus" ...

The fact that in the soviet times was correlated with a shovel as positive - now invariably negative.
I have sometimes drawn picture: all the soviet times were pooschryaemy power formalists and realists in the corral. Now it is the old style and primitive realists are nonconformists

What hrenraznitsa who bylboleemateriistoriitsenen then?
When no longer "if" but "now "

Dejneka - class artist and outside every contexts .

wharf, but studying the author, his creative periods, anywhere from the same "context" did not get away from history, from the circumstances of the life of this author.

Probably, "context" - this sometimes is useful to raise prices, if it does not blow more of what ...
Art periods and biographical data are useful for attribution. And so, in order to read.
What should all this affect the perception of the artist as an artist. It all leads to the notorious "choice ears.
