SHVARTSMAN MM (1926-1997), Russian painter, one of the masters of Russian "unofficial" art.

Born in Moscow on June 4, 1926 in the family entrepreneur NEPman, not again subjected to repression and died in a concentration camp. After his mother was exiled to Siberia, Schwarzman was taken to the orphanage, then served in the Army (1944-1950). In 1950-1956 he studied at the Higher School of Industrial Art (former Stroganov). Lived in Moscow.

After graduation, earned a living as an artist, books, posters, and a master promgrafiki (design logos). However, all these kinds of art, especially promgrafika, does not have for him only some incidental "hack". As from 1966 the main artist SHKB Legprom (Special Arts and Design Bureau of Light Industry), he even brought to life an entire "school Schwartzman, who played an important role in implementing the principles of graphical styling (ie, symbolic and stylistic harmonization of industrial products).

In the same "ottepelno-stagnant" period in the late 1950's - 1960's, was formed and his machine-style, not adjacent to any of the typical lines of the then "other art". The artist created a huge - covering the whole of his mature creative life - painting and graphic cycles of so-called "ieratur" (his own term, produced from the Greek hieros, «sacred"). Hermetically-closed by composition, reminiscent of ancient totems and magic altars, sometimes equipped by some mysterious characters, these canvases and sheets of connected devices in a vanguard - cubism and surrealism - with archaic religious semantics. Ritual magic here as it has become a ritual art, closed in a decorative spectacle frames paintings.

The master's works included in the most significant collection of the Russian avant-garde and "unofficial" art, including the collection of GD Kostaki and a collection of N. Dodge, now included in the Zimmerly Museum (Rutgers University, New Jersey, USA). Landmark exhibition, crowned his career, was a big solo exhibition at the Tretyakov Gallery (1994).
-------------------------------------------------- --------------------------
M. Shvartsman - one of the few masters of the twentieth century whose work was a milestone on the path to a new language of art. His artistic and philosophical system, called the author of "Ieratizm, embodied with equal force in painting and graphics. The artist came to the original style, which has no direct analogues. His art is built on the interpretation of the sign as an image, drawn to the complex philosophical and religious aspects of life. As a rule, on canvas Schwartzman appears aimless picturesque structure, within which there is a peculiar, furtive life forms, revealing the metamorphosis of life of the universe. Artist treated with maximalist insistence to craft the quality of their work. Each of the "ieratur wizard distinguishes high spiritual concentration.

Schwarzman died in Moscow on 17 November 1997.

Grobman in an interview said that in his list of 39 names in my opinion. Why is this list of 35? Eugene, can give a link to the source?

Mikhail Grobman:...." second Russian avant-garde "heroic period" (35 from 250 million chelovekogolov Soviet empire) - is completely gone from the Soviet "culture" rogue states, independent living aesthetics and different from standard concepts (here is intertwined not acceptable official world asociality).
Each of the participants in the different styles of artistic group created their own world of characters and their own world of poetry.

At the same time there was a world of unofficial art. Hundreds of people of different ages to create (after Stalin's death) works that are not recognized by the Soviet art establishment, are not permitted in the official exhibition. These artists did not receive money orders, they are not mentioned by the press. That is technically their fate was similar to the fate of the avant-garde.

Style of informal affiliation was varied, eclectic, and was reduced to various imitations already known examples of modernism.

Informal were disinterested, free and brought to the art, but their work force is secondary has not been recognized among the avant-garde. Measure the novelty of the artistic language and the power of poetic expression of an artist's avant-garde artists have been many debates, and thus elaborated a consensus.

Nevertheless, the boundaries between avant-garde and the informal part were pretty vague, and often happens that an artist belonged to an almost avant-garde, but still could not go past a certain line, and thus missed the confession.

Themselves avant-garde, as a rule, clearly knew who belonged to a group and who is not, and this understanding was not cluttered with gravity - we often discuss the various "candidates" for membership in our circle. That is a group with no formal organization, nevertheless there was a rather strict limits ....."

...." Of the 35 names only 6 people are the figures of international rank ...."

Tw, this is called "expensive egg to the day of Christ" - today his birthday.

Thanks Admin

[fross]

LCR - and accept my congratulations!
From an interview with Mikhail Roginsky, where he maintained direct speech is my impression: very bright and clear, honest, with good sense of humor and surprisingly thin people. His talent speak of his work, but about himself? LCR! Tell us!

Thank Admin-y.

[LCR]

You know, Frosinka, I think, best to read his interviews - they have a few (and even film Vadim Zakharov).
As for me, I gave a great interview in a magazine, called it "We have found, and immediately after the release rates of the material on Roginsky, including my stories, the magazine ceased to exist, but I respectfully ask you not see this as a causal communication.

I could, if you want to find numbers of this magazine, scan them and send you.

Rows of Russia Academy of Arts supplemented by four well-known artists of the sixties, called nonconformists. This is Erik Bulatov, Vladimir Nemukhin, Oscar Rabin, and Edward Steinberg. The youngest of them, Steinberg, 71 years. The last two decades he lived in two houses - between Paris and Tarusa. One of the most popular modern masters - Steinberg exhibited in the Tretyakov Gallery, Russian Museum, in New York's Guggenheim Museum and the largest galleries in Europe. Opened Steinberg, then drag out a miserable existence in the mid 80-ies-known French gallery owners Claude Bernard. "I was shocked by the beauty of his paintings, - says Bernard. - It was clear that for these works are great traditions of Russian avant-garde."
  with academicians Steinberg in his Paris workshop met the correspondent of "Izvestia" Yuri Kovalenko.

question: What are the feelings you felt at that moment, when the president of Arts Zurab Tsereteli put on your toga academician?
Reply: Recognition at home terribly pleasant. And the fact that he wore toga Zurab, doubly pleased. He is head of the academy, and I to him is always a positive attitude.
in: Of course, this event: the leaders of non-conformists, persecuted under the Soviet regime, suddenly joined the ranks of the classics of domestic art.
A: First of all - not suddenly. We have been working for more than half a century. Soviet power, of course, we did not like. But today times have changed. And I said during the ceremony: "let bygones be bygones."
in: In short, the Academy rewarded you deserved.
about: I was very surprised that Tsereteli, and especially Vice-President of Tair Salakhov almost tearfully confessed more than talking about our merit. Yes, we were persecuted, not recognized, but no sense of revenge I do not.
in: "Of the non-conformists - in conformist" - snapped some of the critics about your admission to the Academy of Arts. Power, they say, petted former dissidents.
about: Power petted, and thank God that now in Russia a normal life.
in: You have recently awarded the Order of Friendship ...
about: It is a pity that not awarded the other nonconformists. But most of all I am touched that I was made an honorary citizen Tarusa. I was a little public-spirited, and I can help with these regalia of the city and to intercede for the persecuted people.
Q: And how are you doing this?
about: Helping the hospital, church. I gave at a charity auction of his work, which was sold for 15 thousand euros, and gave the money the hospital. I have two homes in Tarusa, one of which I want to do fund families Steinberg (artist's father - a famous poet and translator Arkady Steinberg. - "The News") and convey to the city.
To: You say that you help the persecuted. Now is there were persecuted?
about: And how! I helped to achieve justice in the scandalous history, made a splash with a hospital in Tarusa. Started a good thing, bought equipment and began a persecution of officials of the chief doctor ... I wrote a letter and the local authorities in respect of a disabled woman who lives in a ten-room with his daughter. They do not even water. It is also driven.
in: So you're in Tarusa play the role of defender?
A: Yes. All resentful of authority can be knocking on my door, and I will help than I can.
Q: Why are you so attached to Tarusa?
about: I was brought there in months of age. I've become an artist. Tarusa was famous even before the revolution - here lived Baltrushaitis, Polenov, Borisov-Musatov, came Balmont, Andrei Bely, Tsvetaeva. And in Soviet times - Richter, Paustovsky, Tarkovsky, Messerer. In Tarusa visited and Solzhenitsyn.
in: Earlier you mostly lived in Paris, and now you, you say, "pulls in its kennel."
A: I had cancer twice - in Paris, I was treated ... Of course, I'm from France pulls in Tarusa. While the friends I have now more in Paris. I still find myself in the French art space, and Paris - my second homeland.
In: The supreme art of the French consider "art de vivre.
A: Yes, they are able to live and live for today. So it should be done. But the main thing that people are protected by law. To you and will not approach the police for no reason at all will not let the face. At us in Russia so far in this regard, the absolute powerlessness.
in: You often call themselves rooted in the soil. What does this mean?
about: natives - is one who walks the earth, not divorced from it. I love my geography, and accuse me that I was "nationalist", "patriot". But I really love Russia. What's wrong?
Q: Where can you better understand how the artist - in the West or in Russia?
about: me, in my view, appreciate, and there, and there. But, of course, an elite circle. I am part of the Russian-European culture. My idol - Kazimir Malevich. It is more visionary than artist.
Q: In your abstract painting many religious symbols.
about: I'm a believer, and I have all built on Christian philosophy.
in: Today, prices for paintings of artists of your generation have reached staggering heights at auction. Kabakov spent several million dollars. Drew themselves up to one million milestone Krasnopevtsev, Bulatov, Vasiliev ... Do they really worth all that money?
about: One dress, so worth it. At this point you can laugh, you can applaud. But I'm skeptical. I am a little familiar with the situation on the art market. In Western art such prices do not.
in: Some experts predict Russia's art market inevitable collapse. Others, however, are convinced that at current oil prices will rise and prices of art.
on: My prediction is reduced to the fact that this market will certainly collapse. From modern art to remain two or three: Kabakov, Weisberg, Krasnopevtsev. When will incur to sell the rest, their pictures will be worth two pennies.
Q: In "Grand Palais" just passed Salon "Art Paris", widely open the doors for Russia's art. George Ostrecov showed sculpture - a sort of human-machine, copulating with a refrigerator. Our other artist captured on canvas Chinese, Russian raping the girl. Maybe the rights of ex-Minister of Culture Sokolov, who called such creations pornography?
A: This is a monstrous banality. And Sokolova, who was brought up in this culture - is, of course, pornography. But the ban is not necessary. Any ban is a backlash.
in: Artists for the needs full freedom of expression?
about: Picasso said that art in general, freedom is not needed. He said that art is born when there is no freedom and complete freedom when it dies. They kill him and money.
To: You claim that the artist creates for himself. But Rubens and Rembrandt worked to order.
about: Their customers had other - at the level of the artist. And then order the order, but they wrote for themselves, thinking about God, about death, about life.
in: Familiar art dealer recently complained that the demand for contemporary Russian art is growing, but the "quality product", they say, is not enough.
about: The territory seized gentlemen curators and art dealers. Solid-commerce. Today, some curator at the Venice Biennale is nonsense, and thinks that the terms of idiots. King, long ago, naked, but everyone is silent, afraid to look like fools.
in: Meeting of the Tretyakov Gallery reflects the situation in the contemporary domestic art?
A: In some extent, yes. Although the exposure for some reason now, no such remarkable artists as Sveshnikov or Kharitonov. But still, my generation is mainly represented. And I like that there is and avant-garde and Socialist Realism. So it should be - this is our story.
Q: In an elite list of Russians, published in the press were just two artists - Ilya Glazunov and Nikas Safronov. Both occupy the 104-th position.
about: 104-place is not so bad. Hence, they are still thinking. And Glazunov, like him or not, - a phenomenon. Poor, but a phenomenon.
in: Today, the most advanced Russian art in no way inferior in courage to the west.
about: Our art is very provincial. We still have to reinvent the wheel, which in the West have been using for half a century.
in: Well, how dear one a social art, which has been raised to the skies in the West?
about: Art in Russia is highly politicized. Sots Art - pure politics, painted by Russian geography. Council of Deputies upon a time there. How much can you talk about it! I'm not interested in kissing policemen.
Q: Is there a modern art sort of mission, but shocking?
about: Zamorochit head. Pretty cheap. Sell. This is theater of the absurd. As one Frenchman said: "What is fashionable, it is art."
In: Met thou among today's collectors of new Tretyakov, Shchukin and Morozov?
A: No. It all collectors ... money, unfortunately.

Natalia Sukhova about Victor Pivovarov:

"Pivovarov close creative method by Pieter Brueghel" because, after visiting "jade clouds, nirvanic tasted honey, he voluntarily went down to the simple and ordinary, and even lower, to the very dark and frightening:" but does not lose when This great sense of beauty. Such an experience the artist is trying to hold to their works. He, like Freud, the forces to come out "very dark and scary" to bring the patient to the best
