PREMIERE
The Museum of the German city of Wiesbaden the premiere of the film Stella Tinbergen «Marianne von Werefkin, ich lebe nur durch das Auge». He said of Marianne Verevkina. Verevkina - a native of Tula, the daughter of the commandant of the fortress, and later - the famous Russian artist in Europe, which has become one of the organizers of the artistic association "Blue Rider". Her name is one of the streets in Munich, her posters adorn virtually all Ascona - a city in Switzerland, where she finished her days. In Verevkina role in the film Stella Tinbergen appears German actress Lena Stolze, which has some resemblance to a portrait of his heroine. Conducted a huge research work in Russia, Lithuania, Switzerland and Germany, and this film will be something innovative, a new force to look at the fate of this amazing woman, virtually unknown in Russia. Stella Tinbergen text from the letters and diaries Verevkina, including those for the first time translated from French into German. Assistance provided and Galina Nanba - Our country, more than 20 years living and working in Switzerland, as well as Stella literally "infested" fate Verevkina.

Verevkina was fascinated by her teacher, Ilya Repin (one of his portraits Verevkina also stored in the museum in Wiesbaden), but we still know so little about this artist with a vivid and happiest women's fate. At the premiere in Germany came descendants and relatives Verevkina and Yavlensky, some of whom took an active part in creating the painting.

The brighter impression, the less possible form. Note, this was long before the appearance of merit of the ideas of Kandinsky, Larionov and Malevich.

Her paintings have been limited opportunities for those high ideas of what it sets out in his diaries, but it has the strongest impact on the artistic life of Munich, there was no significant artist, writer or musician, who did not attend to her salon, and they all noted her brilliant intellect and invincibility in the discussions.

Later, she regretted that she could not "squeeze out" of Yavlensky everything that was planned, it is too much attention was given to his new family at the expense of art.

Aristocratic - still somewhat exaggerated, they are the nobles of Moscow (formerly Orel) lips. But a prominent position, my father died-General of Infantry (his biography). Mother - Elizabeth Daragan (1834-1883). The artist, apparently, was baptized as Mariamna, the name changed to the Western style.
