Valery Kokurin - Vladimir painting school

[SergeiSK]

No need to once again speak and write about the Vladimir school of painting and its most famous representatives - Yukina, Britove, Kokurin, Modorove, Mokrove etc. I personally like it a lot and I have several times he came to Vladimir to Valery G. Kokurin. A very interesting man, with the Russian cunning, quiet voice. In the studio he had cages and cages with singing birds, and not exotic - canaries, nightingales, some muhoklyuyki. He says that the singing of birds is written easily. And the shop in the best sense of the artist's studio. It allowed me to delve into its most distant and dusty corners, that I ogrmnym glad I did. And all the cobwebs have learned painting "The White Sea", 1965, of which he had forgotten. My grandfather once flatly refused to sell it, but then heeded my cries, that I am to him for 2000 miles away did not come jelly slurp and graciously sold it, writing on the back of a couple of warm words. He works in a workshop at Knyagininskoy street, where previously worked Yoockin. I am very pleased with the visit to Kokurin and bought him a few pictures, which together with the work Britova want to show here. And a couple of photos I made in his studio. Well, a little bit about the artist:
Valery G. Kokurin was born in Vladimir in 1930 in the family of the railway. In the 1940's he studied at the Art Studio at Vladimir house folk art Professor NP Sychev.
Along with artists and Yukina B. K. Britovym, Valery Kokurin stood at the origins of the original Vladimir school of landscape painting that emerged in the late 50's and 60 years of XX century, and added the special page in the history of Russian art. Kokurin and today continues to create landscapes, paintings, bearing capacious fiction idea.
Themes of works by Valery G. Kokurina - the nature of Vladimir hand, the villages of the Central Russian bands monuments of ancient architecture, the images of ancient cities. Artist - born colorist, building colors on a combination of contrast, rich, bright colors.
No matter what life's vicissitudes, the artist does not change his palette, while remaining surprisingly cheerful person, his paintings radiate the joy of being. And today, people's artist VG Kokurin intensive and fruitful work, full of vigor and vitality. We can not agree with the characteristics of creativity Valery Grigorievich, which gave the writer Nikolai Lalakin: "Kokurinskie colors pure as dew in the sun, smear elegant, the composition of natural as breathing. It seems that the pictures are created in one sitting - so everything is easy, relaxed, pristine.
Fabrics are masters of virtually all art museums in Russia, as well as in a number of foreign museums and private collections.

May God grant him health and creative success!

Pretty naive expressionism. SergeiSK, but is it possible to elaborate in what experts see the originality of the Vladimir school of landscape painting?

Vladimir,
I think that you yourself know very essence of the issue. And the answer to your question is to find simple. Here are three links immediately found in Yandex for "Vladimir school of painting":

Believe me - just do not want to write 1000 words, although it could explain the originality of the Vladimir school. Excuse. Just laziness ....

SergeiSK, ".... It is absurd to expect that the fashion for his art comes to us from abroad. It is necessary to shape the market of domestic works of art in this very Fatherland, that the capacity of the national market for art allowed talk about serious sales, may be to form a national auction type "Sotheby's." Paintings, art - is a national asset, not only in the abstract and abstract terms. This is a specific economic concept ......".

In Russia ..
Theme was already discussed http://forum.artinvestment.ru/showthread.php?t=2775

Thank you, forum becomes large, this discussion I missed.
I agree that the law is an important element, but not determinative. After Russian art at Sotheby's, Christie and others are traded every day.
Although if it succeeds - will be good.

I would be satisfied with a pair of theses. I have an opinion, but it is emotional, not based on scholarship.
