Nikolai Andreyevich Sheluto born February 22, 1906 in the family middle peasants of the village Glukhovka Gomel region in Belarus.

Yet Sheluto of the village. Glukhovka - a Belarusian gentry, not the middle peasants. However, Andrei Gromyko, from the nearby Gromyko, also preferred to be "from peasants" .

And explain ? Who is Gromyko - No need to explain, and all the rest - curiosity-s-ytno !

[ВЯЧЕСЛАВ]

In ordinary text, once again, encountered so frequently today repeated over and without expression "developed the tradition of southern Russian school".
If the development is progress, then that was created by artists who worked here in the South, in Odessa in the second half of the twentieth century until the early 90s, higher Nilus, Shovkunenko, Dvornikova, Kostandi .... ??
Perhaps, at best - continued.

Moreover, this expression There is today in relation to the artists already twenty-first century, that sounds too much like a mockery.

[Allena]

VYACHESLAV, I think that still is not worth all seen so categorically. I am not talking about Odessa and not on the 21 st century, but in general that such an extension or development of the tradition.
TRADITION, and; Well. [from the Latin. traditio - channel] - The historical and passed from generation to generation, traditions, norms of behavior, attitudes, tastes, etc. (Dictionary of Ephraim).
I think that speaking about art (not necessarily even about the fine arts), it should say it on development rather than to continue. In any work of this artist combines individuality and school, identity and tradition. (Very banal statement, but no less true). "Continuation" - yes, of course, but not enough if we are talking about the creative process.
Tell me please, Vyacheslav, but as you feel it formuliruete: what is the tradition in the arts?

Dear Allena, my note was precisely the specific nature of time and range hudozhnikov.V case - the creation of works of not less than the best examples of painting artists TYURH.
With regard to the traditions of art on a global scale is a serious topic and tell you honestly, is not ready to articulate the answer, and "pouring water" is not used.
I think this is a separate interesting issue.
