What is the truth , the most powerful job in Ge. Continuing in this and more convinced that , literariness and religiosity only interfere with the artist. Of course more academic , which drummed into my head from a young age , these zauchki - how to draw the sky and sea , backgrounds and brown tones. I understand why he threw the painting .

Coming soon just for that moment when he threw the painting, it is not worried about the issues of color, but purely religious matters. The very expression patterns said he was deeply immersed in the gospel theme.
At least it is very " literariness " and creates a Russian school of painting recognizable .

At least this is the "literariness" and creates a Russian school of painting recognizable.

"Russian School of Painting" with the "literariness" - what is it?
Wanderers?

The gospel theme is one of the essential themes in the Academy. The artist must always be above topics, and especially such banal and vague topics. Rather, the material may have on the care of Te. As said Vereshchagin, difficult to succeed if education is obtained on the copper coin. Success was then considered buying paintings on display in King Pitersburg. Tretyakov bought already relate to your own taste, and only then, even with the best public opinion. Unfortunately, as is evident from his works, the Director to focus more on non-color scenic tasks, color, etc. The truth is the only exception, and then, apparently against the will of the author.
The Gospel is very shaky ground for the interpretation of historical truth, aspired Ge. Themselves hrestiane long revered not cross no crucifix, probably because it was very disgusting and scary and also because the execution by crucifixion relied for political crimes against the Romans and the Jews were other executions. There's generally a lot of inconsistencies.

I had my notes from 1856 and later and all was written, verified by the censors.
The songs were popular in-field Birch ..., etc.

The same phenomenon Tretyakov bought .. Ivanov after a similar demarche on the part of the king. It was hard to be an artist.

[Peter]

Ghe had absolute charisma ( in a literal translation from the Greek "gift" or rather "grace" ). He was loved , listened to him, he was a friend of Leo Tolstoy , and other artists mysliteley.V same time treated him very ambiguous . , It was a sincere Orthodox artist for whom faith is not a common form of social life. And this is largely conflicted with its environment. From a letter N.N.Ge - NA Yaroshenko :".... can not be at the level at which there is a partnership , according to legend , can not be any public zhruschey , voruyuschey , disorderly in public houses and baths, and can not be artists that did not go for a star in the sky, they were called , and for 2 rubles, which they waved in front of nosom.Neuzheli you do not see this even in our imitation of the taste of the ruble ? our case is over, the song sung by our ...." 1890

[Seriy]

Pavel, in Ge is later work , are stored in Kiev, expressionism , modernism entirely of the 20th century, where the work is done purely pictorial means , without literature . As with Levitan , it is unclear where it would matter if I lived a little longer, might have become a world-class artist abruptly Munch. In Russia it is necessary to live a long time.

Pavel, in Ge is ... expressionism , modernism entirely of the 20th century ,

Seriy, you observant ! I just noticed this in 1893 "Calvary" , though they write that unfinished , but for me , as a forerunner of Picasso! There is still work ... where you can see what is now called modernism. Ghe was obviously narrow scope of what was then adopted in Russia is largely pictorial traditsii.Eto and was a contradiction ... He was " not like everyone else ".... artist ahead of his time .

And you know so well Kye's biography, that can say that in parting with paintings influenced by the material factor?

Unfortunately, as is evident from his works, the Director to focus more on non-color scenic tasks, color-pr.Istina the only exception, and then, apparently against the will of the author.

In my opinion, the Secretary - much less literature than the same Repin in his "Zaporozhets", "Sadko," "Farewell to the rookie." And secondly, that the whole constellation of Ge Wanderers and our values ​​just in vt.pol.19. (Kramskoy, Repin, Serov) is Te showed great attention to the development of Impressionism. So there is no suspicion of painting problems - this is an extreme inattention viewer.

Still, the evangelical cycle Ge is already established in some other period than "Peter interrogates a son," etc. It is unlikely that he was interested in historical truth. Let's get out of stereotyped interpretations of art, and look at all the same person in three dimensions Ge: in relation not only to him not only with the general direction russ.iskusstva the time, but in the comparison of Ge-Ge and early-late.

"Russian School of Painting" with the "literariness" - what is it? Wanderers?

And you can see this is a contradiction? Of course, the Wanderers mean.
