Pyotr Konchalovsky

[Евгений]

When the Russian Museum held an exhibition of paintings of Petr Konchalovsky, his great-granddaughter - Olga Semenova rasskala about his family and about how to write these pictures (19.04.2010 years)

Author: Olga Semenova
For the first time looking into 23 years of age in the workshop of Peter Petrovich Konchalovsky in the Knobs that under Obninsk, my father stood spellbound, watching the maestro's work. Pyotr Petrovich broad strokes, he wrote still life - just plucked in a garden peonies. It seemed that from the canvas does not come intoxicating smell of fresh oil paints and dense flavor of red and pink, with drops of dew in the flower petals. Looking at it straight back and strong arm movements, it was hard to believe that he was a few months ago was 79 years old. Then, July 12, 1955, in a wooden, built in the late XIX century larch bugrovskom house getting ready to celebrate one of the most popular family holidays - St. Peter's Day. Gathered the whole family. Son, Mikhail Petrovich, his wife, Esperanza, Hispanic, and their children, Margot and Lawrence. Daughter - a poet Natalia Konchalovskaya with her husband, Sergei Vladimirovich Mikhalkov, his sons Andrew and Nikita and daughter from his first marriage Katya. Everyone involved in its proper business. Still quite small and Nikita Lawrence merry shriek ran through a huge garden with apple trees and lilacs. Andrew and Margot - adults and reasonable people on 19 and 14 years old - quietly talking. Mikhail Petrovich (also an artist) showed their new works elder sister and Sergey. Wife of Peter Petrovich - Olga (daughter of Vasily Ivanovich Surikov) that children and grandchildren called Lelechkoy, supervised the preparations in the kitchen. Helped her Katya - cultivated it, and Pyotr Petrovich eldest granddaughter and my future mother. Then quite young, three months ago, she married a graduate student of historical faculty of Moscow State University, erudite and charming guy. It was he admired the work of Peter Petrovich in the studio, not knowing that two years later cast a science reporter goes to work in the "Spark" and then become a writer Julian Semyonov and come up with Shtirlitsa.

on July 14 had left after the feast of the children and grandchildren began to sprinkle with wild flowers, brought as a gift the neighboring farmers, banging loudly on the wooden floor deserted house heels Olga Vasilyevna. Pyotr Petrovich lie down under a large linden tree near the shop, and then asked to dial with the ridges of strawberries. He brought it on a white plate, with the leaves. Slowly he began to write on a small canvas and in three or four hours ended. In Lelechki was used to mark on the reverse side pictures a year of their creation. And here it is his neat handwriting gymnasium led day. The next morning, Peter Petrovich wrote out the window shop house and jasmine bush. This thing they put a tag on the back "15 July". July 16 was written by a lovely bouquet of roses with asparagus, 17 th - a dried flower bouquet birthday, 18 th - the same bunch on a dark background. Pyotr Petrovich called Lelechku in the studio and, considering the above points in a round black-rimmed exhibited in a number of five paintings, said cheerfully: "In ten years, Olga, all of these paintings will hang in museums, and people will ask:" Is Konchalovsky wrote things for one session? "- and then some will say:" That's why, and so good! "And others will object to them:" Because-and-so bad! "Great talent is not afraid to laugh at themselves. He is not afraid of any criticism or censure, only one fear - not enough. Summer of 1955, Petr particular hurry to write and a youthful admiration for the beauty around him: "Look, the nature of something that gets up today! Red-how much appear in the foliage of the trees. And then a blue walking around the trunks of which - a miracle. Well, nature is amenable to heat! " In February 1956 he was gone ...
"Cut, Petechka"
I had no idea my illustrious grandfather, because she was born much later. Why, then, I was not feeling that well remember him?
Because of the self-portrait that in the Tretyakov Gallery, where Dadochka (so named Pyotr Petrovich in the family) is in full growth - tall, handsome, in an unbuttoned coat and fur hat? Because of his photographs in the family album? Because of the memories Lelechki recorded it in the far-predalekih fiftieth? Because of the countless stories of my mother's? Probably, all together.
Mother tells of his grandfather always enthusiastic.
- Can you imagine what Dadochka spoke French, Spanish and Italian, but in 50 years, decided to teach more, and English. And learned! And he began to read Shakespeare in the original. And he sang like a true opera singer! Sit in the evenings at the piano, sang arias and singing Spanish songs that they listened to Surikov in small taverns, when traveling to Spain in 1910 ... Apple-trees planted in the Knobs, a professional gardener. And he's perfectly recited "Eugene Onegin". It was a universal genius, man!
From my mother's stories, I soon realized that the family of Peter and Olga Petrovic Vasilevny concept of "luxury" and "comfort" does not exist, and the word "comfort" tolerated but not really complain. Attitude to life they have been delightfully dismissive. In a three-room apartment in Moscow on Konyushkovskoy Knobs and there was an atmosphere of austerity, if not, then at moderation, live in harmony with joy of being consistently related creativity. For breakfast always drank coffee from a large Turkish coffee pot and ate fried in a skillet with butter crackers and cheese. For lunch, cooked vegetables, soups and cooked cod with chopped egg and drenched in melted butter. Clothing is chosen not on a "fashionable", but on a "convenient, so elegant." Winter Dadochka "exit" putting on a dark green vest with a pair of pants in the summer - a light suit. Lelechka wore a long, slightly flared dress down. The only weakness was Dadochki scented soap, which he bought and put in the closet with the laundry. (He had accumulated so much that was enough for all four years of war.) Discipline in the home Konchalovsky was an iron, the children did not know the word "can not" or "I do not want." Olga V. from infancy to accustom them to one thing: "We have to." Day my mother in childhood was strongly painted - lessons, piano, French. The only valid recreational reading was considered. Lelechka not only dealt with home and children, but also picked up the bouquets, which Dadochka wrote, filled the husband and son on the sketches, the first visit to the studio to look at a new job. Her catchphrase at the time of making important family decisions: "We will not do (or we'll do it"), where she says, fully associating himself with her husband, was perceived not as a challenge to the strong half of humanity, or a manifestation of militant feminism, but as a right, a well-deserved years of wisdom, patience and faithfulness. Dadochka wrote for his life more than a thousand paintings and hundreds of drawings, watercolors and theatrical scenery, but few remember that up to 32 years, he has almost all his paintings destroyed. The first years of marriage Lelechka watched the advent of the wonderful paintings and ... their ruthless cutting. Like a true gentleman, Pyotr first consulted with his wife: "And do not cut it for me this picture, Olga?" - He asked, meticulously eyeing his next new canvas on the easel. And Olga, once and for themselves who decided that everything that makes a man, right, calmly replied: "Cut, Petechka.

Paris - London
Son of a Russian nobleman and an intellectual, Petr teenager met Surykova Vrubel, Korovin and Serov. His father, Pyotr Konchalovsky, shifted much of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, "Robinson Crusoe" by Daniel Defoe and published by Pushkin and Lermontov, with illustrations by the best Russian artists. Vrubel, working on illustrations to Lermontov, even while he lived in Konchalovskys and gave Pete his drawing. A Korovin, noticing a young man's makings of an artist, persuaded Konchalovsky's father to send his son to study painting in Paris at the Julian Academy.
Returning after three years in Russia, Pyotr married to Olga. Lelechku he learned in 16 years, when I went with my father to Surikov, but then the brown-eyed girl neat 14 years in the form of high school did not even deign to talk. 10 years later, in 1902, she reacted quite differently to the tall, handsome young man with whom met at a celebratory party at friends in common. Three weeks later, they realized that life can not separate, married in a church Khamovnichesky and immediately left for St. Petersburg, where Petr studied at the Academy of Fine Arts. Like many young talents, he announced academism war in the literal sense: walking with his friend Sergei Konenkova and several other students at night by the Academy, threw out the window overshoe Rector Beklemisheva. At this time, the mayor of St. Petersburg Baron Nolken made their detour. He saw the students they once were reserved to the police. The matter ended in court. But because students were talented, they stood up for the president of the academy and professor Pavel Chistyakov, the window is mistakenly hit overshoe. Five students were sentenced to a fine of 8 rubles. The funny thing is that when Peter and Olga Petrovic Vasilevny a daughter Natasha was the christening, the police officer came to get a penalty. All were there, and even the godfather Konenkov.

Three years after the birth of her daughter had a son Misha. Kids and family life, the notorious Peter Petrovich work did not interfere, but rather helped. He enjoyed singing them lullabies, shared paints for painting, and when Natasha was ill with scarlet fever, a whole month it nursed.

... All winter, until 1914, Konchalovsky was performed in Paris. Always settled in the Latin Quarter. Pyotr Petrovich went to museums, he wrote. Olga V. engaged in farming, drove her daughter to school, walking with her son in the Luxembourg Gardens ... Paris before World War I rages, Montparnasse cafes were filled with half-starved artists whose paintings now adorn the best museums: Zadkine, Fujita, Kisling, Vlaminck, Fernand Leger, Modigliani. The latter paid for the meal with the restaurant owner monparnaskogo (former model), drawings, and she does not believe in talent Modigliani, drown their stove. Quickly and art changes the world. Died unrecognized, in misery young geniuses. In the scandal, under the angry buzzing of a swarm of critics was born a new painting. In the electrified atmosphere of Parisian creativity Petr felt like a fish in water: friendship with Le Fauconnier, Charles Mangenom, Charles Kamuenom, Matisse and Picasso, and exhibited with them. Summer Konchalovskys usually left to the south to the Mediterranean. In 1908, settled in the southern sun warmed Arles. Everything there was the van gogovskim and, hence, sweet heart Pyotr Petrovich: quarries, fields, women in their finery, the elderly on the benches. Dadochka went to the store where purchased paint Van Gogh. Old master remembers him: "Why, belobrysenky guy with the funny accent?" He left me in a pledge for paints a picture. Money was never brought, but the picture is my grandson, a tomboy nail holes. And sorry, do not be this hole - would sell a hundred francs a visiting some! " "Could you give me this" picture "show" - hiding the excitement, asked Peter Petrovich. The old man, groaning, climbed to the attic and brought a small canvas from which sadly looked at the world with blue eyes, a child with a gaping hole in the cheek. Dadochka took the painting to the hotel, "healed" on the cheek and went back to the old man: "Take it." This picture is worth tens of thousands. "

The First World War found Konchalovskys in Krasnoyarsk, the home Surikov, where they had come to visit with children and Vasily Ivanovich to his brother, Alexander Surikov. From Krasnoyarsk Dadochka and went to the front. Olga V. long look after the long composition, with red lights on the tail, taking away an officer Konchalovsky from the 8-th Siberian Rifle Artillery Battalion, and returned to Surikov frame, a wail, as the voice of a peasant woman at the station, accompanied by their husbands soldiers. A Dadochka hit the first battles, came to town Letsena in Germany, broke through the encirclement, encouragement struhnuvshih young soldiers, was wounded. And all three years he wore on his chest children's letters detailing the domestic news, gymnasium success and Natasha first verses, originally composed specially for daddy.
The war gave way to revolution. Got scared and left Benoit, Somov, Dobuzhinsky, Sorin, Sudeikin. Konchalovsky has remained. They lived with their children in an unheated apartment, four huddled in one room, where there was only one cast-iron stove. This stove and started a few years of post-revolutionary center of life. Beside her, Pyotr Petrovich wrote, wrapped in a sheepskin coat Natasha and Misha. It was brewed had brought friends from Mozhaisk potatoes. To her sit down in the evenings has reached a familiar guest pianists - Igumenov, Borovsky, Orlov. Heated in the cold numbed fingers, drinking hot tea and then sat at a piano stored Konchalovsky, and flew over the frightened and subdued by Moscow sounds joyful pieces by Mozart and Bach sonatas supramundane.

Door Pushkin
All my life Petr often traveled with Misha and Lelechkoy on nature, wrote in Nowogrod Murmansk, the Crimea, the Caucasus, but especially him work in the thalamus.

House of Knobs Dadochka bought in 1932. In his youth he wrote a few months in the nearby estate of Belkin, which stopped Pushkin. Learning that Belkino rebuilt and much break, I went and picked intended to release the door, through which entered Pushkin, and tiles from the stove, near which he basked. Door installed in bugrovskoy workshop, oven tiles decorated bugrovskogo home ... Economy in the Knobs was great: the grunting hog zagonchike Raul, before the guard house important paced cock and hen poklevyvali sand, shaking his mane, dismissing the gadfly, attached to the tree of the horse boy. In the terrible years of repression was carried out in Konchalovskys Knobs for 8 months. Returned to the swarming black funnels capital only at New Year, and in early April, leaving again. They traveled by car. Path to 120 kilometers overcame four hours: stop, picnics. Once seated behind the wheel of the son of speeding 40 miles per hour, Olga strictly speaking: "Misha, do not drive." Early in the morning assistant Masha bred in the kitchen samovar. All day Petr wrote in the studio with "Pushkin's door, or walked with his son on the sketches. Sometimes went to the duck hunting, chasing rabbits and fox hunting. Bringing production back home, it first must write, and then to flay. In the evenings the family gathered in the dining room. Before dark (electricity in the house was not lived by candlelight), read together Pushkin, Horace, Diderot and Shakespeare. In the mounds came writer Alexei Tolstoy, pianist Sofronitsky, director Meyerhold, Prokofiev, composer, actor Livanov scientist Kapitsa, painter Mashkov. His wife, not pronouncing the letter "p", loved to gossip about Lelechkoy attacking critics for their faithful: "Olenka, Petg Petgovich - such GUIN, what it this kgitika? Him all the shit!" But Ilya Ivanovich not all shit! "
Many of his friends Konchalovsky seated pose. So there were gorgeous portraits of Alexei Tolstoy pantagryuelevskoy for a meal, with a crystal glass in a sleek hand, and Prokofiev - in a wicker chair, with notes on their knees, against the backdrop of sunlit summer garden.
After his arrest, Meyerhold, whose portrait Petr shortly before it wrote, he was asked to sign a libelous letter, accusing the director of anti-Soviet activities. He refused. Offered to write Stalin. "When can I meet with Joseph Vissarionovich for the first session?" - Asked Dadochka. "Comrades," explained that he already knew. Meet with the leader can not be written on the photo. "What a pity - shrugged Dadochka - nothing we do can be seen, will not work. I write only from nature."
Continued enthusiasm to write friends, wife, children, grandchildren, peasants, apple blossoms, lilacs, pipes, dogs and chickens. Looking at the colorful kaleidoscope, the party bosses' taste for social realism, as a ghoul blood have always looked at each other helplessly: "Where are these pictures of the socialist essence? Where is the map of our struggle?" Until his death saved the situation Lunacharsky: "Do not get excited, comrades." Talented artist sings the poetry of our everyday lives. " Laudatory articles Commissar for Education for exhibitions Dadochki long become his safe-conduct.
Late in the autumn of 1941 the Germans approached mounds, and Petr with Olga moved to the city. Faithful Mary buried in the garden of the most valuable and, standing on the threshold of the lodge, hostile watched placement in the home of Aryan occupants. After seeing the evacuation daughter Natasha and Katya Andron, Petr Petrovich Olga remained in Moscow. Happy Dadochka portraits Lermontov. One night, came to the verification of documents curfew patrol. The Red Army sent a flashlight in dark shop. Shaft of light in the darkness drew a sad face young Lermontov. "And who lives here?" Misha cheerfully: "A citizen without a residence permit." Sorting out the "cheating" Red respectfully asked: "Who are you both working?" - "Father". "Hard work!" - Have entered the Red Army and, after shaking hands Dadochke are gone.
And soon after the war, "the court" the painter Aleksandr Gerasimov, Petr Petrovich began to persecute. To him willingly joined a few spiteful critics. Dadochka and Lelechka kept Olympian calm. At a reception was formed around them threatening emptiness. Came a familiar artist, said quietly: "Olga, those nasty Pyotr Petrovich, a candle to him no good. To hell!" Lelechka in a single evening gown of cherry velvet and give it the appearance of the disgraced queen ermine cape on your shoulders with secular smile, replied: "All the spit - saliva is not enough!" Of happiness, warmth, Stalin had mentioned in one of his speeches addressed Surykova critique his tongue, and Dadochka rest of his life he wrote as he himself ...
When Peter Petrovich was gone, Lelechka confused, older and even though became shorter. One day my mother came to visit her. Lelechka stood near the window, staring at the clouds high in spring, the young trees of green, the sun glare on the houses, and then frantically breathed the air, kept the smell of oil paints, said quietly: "How beautiful. But why all this is necessary if more Petechka no.
***
Some art lovers call Konchalovsky Russian Cezanne, the other a master of realism, the third - avant-gardist. And everyone said: "This is - this Konchalovsky! And they're all right, because in whatever style Dadochka nor write, he stayed himself. He was always himself. When throwing galoshes to the academy, studied at the Van Gogh exhibition with Picasso. When founded with fellow artists society "Jack of Diamonds." When weeks dandle diseased daughter. When he fought. When you do not betray friends. When instead a portrait of Koba wrote grandchildren and flowers. Therefore, looking at his life, I feel for my great-grandfather's pride and, as visitors to the museum in front of his paintings, enchanted said: "This is - this Konchalovsky!

July 14, 1955. What "to the restyane"?! Napisla would be easier to "yard" or "fortress". Through fake memoirs! "Austerity," cod in Polish, two suits on the way out ... And believe you can ...
Mounds - it's not "old home of larches," as the author writes, it is - an estate with a huge farm, domestic, livestock, gardens, orchards, smoke, etc.
A modest life for the Soviet era, to the Stalinist village, is not it? Ah, poor Dadochka who sold their work Tretyakov Gallery in the early 20s hundreds of rubles ...
When in other memoirs, the fact that PPC did not touch the NKVD and taken away unthinkable at the time the property (only Sholokhov could compete with Konchalovsky for consistency), explain that he was married to the daughter Surikov and Stalin, they say, did not dare touch family classic of the Russian zhivovpisi - it causes a smile, to put it mildly. Him to be shot without trial would be enough of noble birth, and participation in the imperial army, even an orderly way ...
The presence in the family of General of the NKVD - here's the thing. Yes, and became a relative of Julian Semyonov, as we know, belonged to the same office.

I join the opinion of Cyril. It seems to me that the figure Konchalovsky very ambiguous in its many manifestations. Any true and sometimes subjective opinion, it is much more correct than just smearing his figure with oil.
I treat him with enough conflicting emotions, among which is, of course, and respect and tribute to his undoubted talent. But in life there is nothing unique. And I think that Eugene must also be interested in seeing this artist has been discussed, that is called interest, of course it does not need to offend anyone's human dignity.

And why? What is this phenomenon Konchalovsky?

I do not agree with the fact that the figure of Konchalovsky's less known than Shevchenko Miturich, Istomin. He has a number of simple textbook work, for example. portrait of Tolstoy. Just on the surface is always greater than was poslebubnovsky Konchalovsky. It recently became the subject of early Konchalovsky vozhzhdeleniya many collectors

Cyril, sorry, again read your post and realized that the path you have just the opposite.

I think fame Konchalovsky largely due to his official regalia, the public position which he held membership in a sufficiently powerful family clan. That's the beginning of the case. This is certainly not the only reason, but it seems to me that one of the most important

sold his work the Tretyakov Gallery in the early 20s hundreds of rubles ...

Konchalovsky was generally wealthy men, as I see it, always.
Where did this wealth?
Legacy of his wife Olga, daughter Vasilevny VISurikova? Or the actual earnings of the author?
His exhibition activity Pyotr Konchalovsky started with exhibitions of the New Society of Artists in 1907, as I understand it. And, for example, in 1909, he was on the second exhibition of this society has shown, according to a directory of more than 20 of his works, imported from France.
But what is most surprising is his success, this is not interrupted and the Soviets.
It just released from the USSR and let the whole family, with his wife and children. He just can not imagine what particular refused.
He did not stay in the West. Even when he met in 1925 in Sorrento (where he stayed for 2 months) with Gorky ("he was very enthusiastically reacted to my things and bought me two things") and that he offered to stay with him, asked to stay ("he had a huge wonderful villa"), refused, explaining that "that's impossible to take this happiness through a set of circumstances".
What kind of "circumstances" were kept Konchalovsky in Soviet Russia? For me it is a mystery.
Somehow to me this "lucky" the artist recalls career of his son-in-"gimnopistsa and grandson-cinematographer.

So regalia, then how come from? Where a public position? Yes, and that there was such a clan? Well, father-in-Surikov, who died in 1916. But her brother-political refugee.

I think that's something, and more.
And indeed, he seems a very practical person, as well, and you mentioned his next of kin.
Ultimately, I think, in itself, there is nothing wrong with - each has its own peculiarities harktera. This is so as long as it does not apply to the creative side, or rather, the organizational and creative. After all, the author of fables and author movies a lot of effort was applied to ensure that, as put it mildly put it, "not to give greater opportunities to their colleagues - one in children's literature, the other - in the movie (which does not cross out, but nevertheless emphasizes their own creative achievement). And this is the downside of such a utility.
I have to say, I do not know what was the role of the Soviet art of PP in this sense. And interestingly, the forum is there are people who can say something intelligible about the role of Konchalovsky in the sense of "to hold and not let go": whether he was tolerant of younger colleagues?

After Konchalovsky most famous figure from bubnovovaletchikov. I believe that the role of the Russian-Soviet art in the sense hudozhestvpennom significant. After all, for Russia, "Jack of Diamonds" was a breakthrough on the cutting edge world of the artistic process. Of course, not just the Jack of Diamonds ", but he played in this process is very prominent role, and Konchalovsky including.
But fame Konchalovsky general public (at least until relatively recently) was based just on that, from my point of view, it was the fading of his artistic talent. Naturally, this played a role of external factors (government regulation in the fine arts), who played the same role in the creative (that creative) fate Mashkov, Lentulova, Shevchenko, Osmerkin, and Kuznetsova, too (although not from Bubnovs), but , mind you, not Larionov (though he declined to state regulation safely), and Falk.

It Konchalovsky most well-known figure from bubnovovaletchikov. I think chgo role in Russian-Soviet art is very high.

I would not overestimate the influence of the "Knave of Diamonds" on the official Soviet art, "Knave of Diamonds" bystoro leadership skill set in place. In March 1927, conducted a retrospective exhibition and all.
Yes, and BV Konchalovsky has not played first violin. In the beginning there were Burliuk, Malevich, Larionov, Goncharova, AB and Konchalovsky himself out of VWD.

What about the leader, seemingly has not been noticed.
In some sense we can speak about why he was so moved. In particular because of its practicality. but in general I do not think this can give some one a simple and clear explanation. Think it's a complex set of reasons.
One, indeed, is somewhat puzzling. After all, he almost did not write frankly of social work, such as Deineka. And according to their social status was with him on a par.
However, here is a paradox because it seems to me that Deineka with all his commitment and sotszakazom now looks much more convincing and compelling than Peter Petrovich Soviet era.

Under bubnovovaletovstvom I mean more precisely Konchalovskaya Mashkovsky-line, but not larionovskuyu. Larionov, in my opinion, very quickly realized that these guys are totally alien to him - they have different vector. And yet, it seems to me that the line Mashkova-Konchalovsky or when not interrupted in soviskusstve, for example, severe style - that is their undeniable spiritual descendants. A Larionov their "children" in Russia had little, although this figure is very significant.
