In the initial period of construction when you make a Moscow metro stations are often used mural painting. However, most of these works did not stand the test of time, covered with a concealed them from the eyes of metal dust. Grandiose fresco ceilings in the station "Izmailovo Park, murals on the walls of the vestibules stations Komsomolskaya-radial and KRASNOSELSKAYA were subsequently whitewashed. Currently fresco paintings preserved only at the station "Kyiv" Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya line and on the dome of the intermediate station escalator hall TAGANSKAYA-ring.

Widely monumental painting in the form of smaltovoy and Florentine mosaics. It is not subject to deterioration in the conditions underground and decorates the walls and vaults of many stations and lobbies.

New smaltovye painted ceilings were set up by the outstanding Soviet painter A. Deineko on the domes set station Mayakovskaya. Mosaics are devoted to the theme "Day of the Soviet sky", they very laconic, extremely colorful, modern and reflect the intentions of the Soviet people in the prewar years. The location of these mosaic patterns in the domes middle of the station were several risky. They are visible only when standing directly under them and looking up. Experience has shown that the architecture of the station Mayakovskaya enjoys great popularity, the most outstanding characteristic structures. On the platform of the station are constantly in a group of Soviet and foreign tourists. People and looking at everything around, admiring the perfect forms, share experiences. No passengers, and tourists. They heard about the station, saw the photos and film shots, traveled from afar to see, feel, remember. And here as a kind of pleasant surprise to come out with full vigor product AA Deineki. Mosaic painted ceilings cause joyful amazement of spectators. This "risk" placement of paintings on the station Mayakovskaya was justified and appropriate because the architecture and painting have reached here of the highest quality level. Imagine these painted ceilings, for example, at station Paveletskaya impossible, they would have been like in the "depository", reach for consideration.

Original synthesis of architecture with painting and sculpture is born, usually when they reach a very high quality, otherwise the elements of art often become superfluous.

Outstanding works of monumental painting at the Moscow metro has created the People's Artist of the USSR Academy of PD Korin. Completed his painted ceilings station Komsomolskaya-ring dedicated to the patriotism of the Russian people, stained glass windows on the pylons station Novoslobodskaya, as well as the mosaic in the middle end of the hall of the station reflects the aspirations of the Soviet people for peace and happiness on earth, they are highly decorative; frieze the round escalator hall lobby ground station "Smolenskaya" glorifies the heroism of the Russian people in the Patriotic War of 1812. All works of this outstanding artist are true masterpieces of Soviet art.

Impressive work of the artist G. Opryshko. Its painted ceilings on the arch of the station "Belarus"-ring, in the technique of Florentine mosaic, devoted to the flourishing economy and culture of Soviet Belarus. Opryshko also the author of the mosaic frieze in the round escalator columned hall of the station "Kyiv".

Among the successful paintings, inseparably linked with the architectural environment, you must include the artist's work Rabinovich stations "Baumanskaya and Avtozavodskaya, as well as paintings on the vault station Novokuznetskaya made from sketches by the artist Deineki A. Frolov. Artist A. Myzin its mosaic on the station "Kyiv"-ring devoted friendship of Russian and Ukrainian peoples.

In the 70 years revived interest and attention to the use of paintings for the design of underground structures. In late 1972 the joint recommendation of the Chief Architect of Moscow and the chairman of the board of USSR Academy of Arts on the synthesis of the arts in contemporary urban planning by the executive committee of the Moscow Council was requested to provide for the creation of beautiful works of monumental propaganda in the ground lobby of Station Street in 1905, dedicating it to the heroic battles in the Red showroom in the days of the first Russian revolution. Further development of painting in the design of subway stations and lobbies manifested in the creation of a decorative frieze at the station "Sviblovo" (artist Yuri Korolev), on the Golden Ring Russian towns surrounding Moscow, as well as the mosaic of tracks at the station "Marxist" (artist M. Alekseev ) etc.

Sculptural works presented at the 49 stations of the Moscow metro. An important contribution to their creation have eminent sculptors of Soviet culture Andreev, E. Vucetic, M. Manizer, G. Motovilov, Mukhina, NV Tomsk and others. Eighty-bronze sculptures at the "Revolution Square", sculptural groups at the stations "Izmailovo Park" and "Belarusian"-ring, bas-reliefs and heraldic cartouches stations "Elektrozavodskaya", "Dinamo", "October"-ring, "Semenovskaya", "Krasnopresnenskaya and many others are active components in the architectural decoration of the capital.

The majestic monument to the people's avengers erected at the station "Izmailovo Park (M. Manizer sculptor and architect B. Vilensky). Successfully selected positioning of the sculptures, their scale, nature. Words on the portal "Men and women guerrillas glory!", The motives of the partisan life in decorative bas-reliefs and capitals of the columns - all done convincingly, in the same vein. The ensemble creates a festive feeling is admiration for the feats of the Soviet people.

From the heraldic bas-relief sculptural works very fortunate wall reliefs station Semenovskaya ", performed by a group of sculptors led by VI Mukhina, and bas-reliefs on the stations' Elektrozavodskaya" and "October"-ring by the sculptor G. Motovilov.

Among the significant works of the last period can be called a sculptural portrait of Lenin (sculptor N. Tomsk) at Station Square Ilyich "Kalinin radius, a bas-relief memorial song dedicated to the barricade fighting of the December armed uprising in 1905 (sculptor I. Dorogan and B. Shirokov ), on the facade of the ground station hall Barrikadnaya, bas-reliefs along the track wall station "Pushkinskaya" (sculptor M. Shmakov and Leonov).

The most stringent and exacting criticism is hard to find errors and discords in the execution of such works as the station "Elektrozavodskaya", "October", "Komsomolskaya"-ring, "Novoslobodskaya", "Krasnopresnenskaya", "Dobrininskaya", "Avtozavodskaya" Mayakovskaya "Izmailovo Park, Barrikadnaya," Kuznetsk Bridge "," Pushkinskaya "and others. In those buildings, space, scale, architecture, character, rhythm and plastic are in harmony with the elements of sculpture and monumental painting.

You can not remove from the pylons "Elektrozavodskaya" bas G. Motovilov, as it is impossible to imagine the station "Oktyabrskaya" without bas-reliefs of the same master, because in both cases, these reliefs, as the support elements of composition, identify and disclose the ideological nature of the works: "Glory to Labor!" - the theme of the first reliefs and "Glory to the winner!" - theme of the second. Means only one architecture to express these ideas impossible.

The creation of the Moscow metro made folk artists, craftsmen and applied art of the Latvian SSR, X. Rysik and D. Budniek. They hammered aluminum, steel, brass, copper entered the building blocks in the decoration stations Novoslobodskaya "," Warsaw "," sq Nogina "," Turgenevskaya "," Belyaevo "Barrikadnaya," October field "," Aviamotornaja .

The most important and most difficult task of architects, painters and sculptors - to achieve perfect beauty facilities. Creation of these artists bring up patriotic feelings, bring joy to people. Beauty is in itself great wealth, but not all wealth - the beauty. Most often, wealth creates excesses, and excesses - a sign of bad taste. The ancient Greeks ironic: "Not able to make beautiful, so did the rich."

To create the beauty, the talent and dedicated work, as well as the conditions for co-creation of the architect, painter and sculptor, and, perhaps, not least sympathetic and sensitive attitude of the customer and the governing bodies of the designs and ideas of the authors.

Twelve of Moscow's metro stations have been awarded State prizes, two stations - "Kropotkin" and "Komsomolskaya" - received the Grand Prix at the World Exhibition in Brussels and for the station Mayakovskaya was awarded a gold medal and a big money prize at the World Exhibition in New York. Fifteen architects, two painters and one sculptor was awarded the State Prize for the creation of highly artistic works in the Moscow metro.

Yuri Korolev - known monumental, director of the Tretyakov Gallery. About him Marc Chagall once said: "Seeing in the book" Modern Monumental "works by Yuri Korolev, People's Artist of the USSR, he said:
- This is the art of a matchbox. Even a hundred thousand times increase of the work does not make them monumental. Russian icon - that's where the real hidden Monumental. "
