I look forward to the speedy Feshin exhibition in Moscow! Although I have noticed works Feshin something is missing . Those works written in America than in Russia exceeds , or am I wrong.

I would not use the word " superior ," but to me the American who is at the show , seemed interesting

And I would say even more, although I understand that now hurl stones : America did Feshin famous artist. If it were not for immigration , I am afraid that he would have remained an unknown professor of the Kazan Art School ...

Often wonder about the fate of our artists , immigrants, who left in the 20s . And against the background of the fate of emigrant N. Feshin simply amazing - so it is , from beginning to end, not like the others ...

The point, in my opinion, not in the same place . And perhaps , indeed Feshin in Russia would have remained an art teacher in Kazan. It seems to me that the topic is all important three points: the shock of the loss of home and familiar way of life , the need to survive, new experiences. It does not matter , in Paris or in Brazil, the person falls under the influence of these three factors.

Maroussia, and whoever was Wassily Kandinsky, if it had not gone and got acquainted with the Guggenheim?

Allen!
These questions, solved most of the Russian emigre artists, and solved in very different ways: for example,
- AN Benoit (and the whole family)
- Two old friends Yakovlev - V. Shukhaiev I think biographies are well known.
- Wassily Kandinsky and Kazimir Malevich (It seems to me that the Berlin exhibition of Malevich was a kind of attempt to test the waters for departure ...)
You can spend a lot of parallels, and many judicial recount ...

However, N. Feshin - an example of another kind. I do not remember so well his biography and not a big fan of his work, but there are some facts that I remember:
The artist, who
- In 1900 a scholarship at the Academy of Fine Arts trip to Europe, traveling to Paris (to draw your attention, not his own expense, as many of his contemporaries) and returns a blank so that next year the Arts withdraws scholarship ...
- Is becoming an art teacher in Kazan (incidentally married the daughter of the director of its School of Art)
- In the mid-1910s (prosperity, revelry as you want, name - avant-garde), the Company enters into Wanderers.
- In the early 1920s, emigrated to the United States and became an impressionist ...
It seems to me that he was in the States and had to be born - it is an American career. And the fact that he had emigrated, and still it emigrated to the United States, not Europe, and enabled him to become a famous "Russian impressionist," given the conservatism of American society and a delay in the evaluation and adoption of new trends in art in the early twentieth century.

Sergei!
Vasily Kandinsky was! who he was (the ancestor (one of) the abstract and the author of "On the Spiritual in Art") long before the emigration from Russia. And no other way, regardless of his subsequent singles.
True, he was somehow listed as a "degenerate artist", but I hope you do not about this ...

[Allena]

Maroussia, may indeed Feshin, once in America, he felt, as they say in their place.
Or maybe experienced turmoil prompted him to what him and had no idea in Russia.
Or maybe it all together <! - ~ 1 ~ ->

The head is a sketch for a portrait (IMHO)
A head Oleg (in my purely-feeling) is written after the great portrait ..
It's like a virtuoso exercise (perhaps from memory) ...
Often there is a desire after a lot of work done very fast, alla prima, repeat, for the pleasure of the writing process, because both colors, and volumes have already been found, and if I may say so, like those already imeyushiesya knowledge of nature to try to use a "completely." (This is the idea of ​​practice)
There is a wonderful portrait of a girl in a headscarf with coal, in the same perspective (interesting time of its execution ..)

  
(I wonder, in fact, that in the catalog?)

 No, Allena, he would simply not survive this time (hunger and health status would not pozvololi ..

Thank you all for the thoughts!

The exhibition - the undoubted success of the Russian Museum . Well- built exhibition and it is always important. A good selection of works - a visual monograph. Of course, a pity that the " douche " just sketches - but it is also good. However , in comparison with the exhibition Grigorieva , for example , few things from private collections , and they are always interesting . In terms of our so-called market ...
I , incidentally , on the contrary , the American thing compared with the Russian seemed worse , banal , or something. The coloring in these rough, some sharp - popped in my head for some reason the word "advertising ", although, of course , advertising has nothing to do with it.

And yet - can not help wondering to what extent the artist Feshin unknown to the general public , even interest ...
A catalog went for a week, say , the entire edition .
