[Fed]

It is interesting to recall the famous artists who lived in Odessa at the beginning of 1917, a year of great change. What do we know about them. As in what has developed, their fate, the creative and personal than they were distinguished before.

Criterion for fame at the time I will take those who have taught in schools or discussed in a more or less widely in the press of the time.
Join us, share your scans and stories.

Reingbald Wolfe Abramovich
He taught at the - "permission from the Ministry Imperatorskago school yard painting and drawing class artist of Wolf Abramovich Reingbald". The school is located on the square Kondratenko, 2, what is interesting in connection with the appearance of Reingbald in the literature, where the address is different:
"... Which is near a quiet side street Sturdzovskom lived her younger daughter, Gitl. In 1895 she married Michael Abramovich Reingbald from a family of Simferopol townspeople, long settled in Odessa. A graduate of Saxony Technical Institute in Dresden, had prestigious Michael on concepts of time Electrical Engineer, and his brother Vladimir after the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts held a school drawing and painting at Tiraspol, 10, next to the house Mangubi, which after his arrival from Nikolaev temporarily settled family Babel.
(From "Madame Lyuba" Alexander Rozenboyma)

As you noticed and addressed in the literature for other Reingbald-Vladimir. Think-Wolf-look more "estetskih" for school administrators drawing t.k.v "Odessa State-owned Jewish school girlish" in a wheelchair lane 5, where he also served as a teacher of calligraphy, he was known as Vladimir Abramovich.

In his school, he studied the main artist of the Odessa Opera House from 1929 to 1941 - Nazaryan-Nazarov, Ivan Semenovich (1893-1954), then taught at Odessa Art Institute (since 1948).
And the Honored Artist of the RSFSR Gurvich Joseph M. (1907, Chisinau - 1992, Moscow), suggesting that the school acted in the early 20's, he had studied there.

Vladimir Reingbald brought her niece Bertha-renowned music educator. http://www.migdal.ru/times/36/2870/

Odessa - before the storm in 1917

 We can say that the troubles of Odessa began on 6 April 1919, when the city became a gang chieftain Grigorieva and established the Soviet regime ....
Today in the town run by other non-leather jackets and coats. It is true worldview and a diploma is not significantly different from those banditov.Vot for example a sample of the current governor, lovingly called Odessites "ZHI - Shi". Modestly, for a former teacher from Kiev zakarpatya.Ego chief annealed in a big way and on anglitski "

This topic is so entertaining - that after 100 years, remember not ordinary artists even in their hometown, some of them remain? Interestingly, not only in terms of investment direction, but the question-what percentage of recall exactly why these and not others. And is it even the artists any meaningful legacy?

Vvedenskaya Ivan Andreevich.
The Register of Artists of the Russian empire, the Soviet Union stated "1861 -? ".

A disciple of the Academy of Fine Arts from 1882 to 1887 has a small silver medal, 27 February 1887 - the title neklassnogo artist.

Prepodavl in "High School Odesskago Union of Russian People behalf MI Sinitsyn," calligraphy and painting. Balkovskoy lived on, giving the former. Benetato, 8.
At the same time prepodavl in the Odessa gymnasium uchr.N.K.Iliadi and the Odessa Conservatory, which was included then in the Odessa Branch of the Imperial Musical Society Russkago.

We can assume that the exhibition and shops lead to the popularity of artists and the preservation of artistic heritage, by analogy with the French salon. However, is: "One must remember the good word and VA Izdebsky. He was a sculptor, but became famous for organizing art exhibitions, which brought him to Odessa to the high and long-term orbit of world fame. Still invaluable resource for art historians and collectors are still cherished dream catalogs Salons Izdebsky "teacher" Drawing School artist AM Manylama. These were not small-town, and - international exhibitions. " Which raised the prestige of local artists who are "in no way inferior to Western European masters." And it was also the vanguard of the organization Salons 1909-19011, the active role played Kandinsky. About them-later.

And now about the teachers Izdebsky and, incidentally, Krihatskogo Vladimir Gavrilovic (1877 - 1942) - The secretary and treasurer of the Odessa Society of Independent Artists, since 1919 Member of TYURH, since 1922 - Member of the Society. K. Kostandi:

 "Brothers Manylamy organized in Odessa drawing school functioned from 1894 until the revolution."

  "1-I Odessa School of Drawing Artist A. Manylama, Garden, 7.
Founder and head of school, the artist Abram Markovich Manylov.
Class teacher of decorative and applied arts Asher L. Galyuzman.

Manylov AM taught in the "Commercial School HH Hoffmann, Little Lane, 7.

It can be assumed that all was lost after the revolution, but he
worked as an artist and after the Revolution: Manylov AM participated in 1926:
SECOND AUTUMN ART EXHIBITION PAINTINGS Society. KK Kostandi
Open from October 15, 1926 in Odessa.
Attended by 62 artists, 278 works exhibited.
Published a catalog: "Catalogue of the second autumn exhibition of paintings." Odessa, edition of the Art Society. KK Kostandi, 1926, 20 p.

 A well-known teacher and artist Manylov AM, exhibited with the society Kostandi probably and his pupil and later teacher at his school, Izdebsky at the Salon, exhibited at the Russian empire, and become a breakthrough "new art", with whom he began Russian avant-garde.

Where is he? Who knows about him and his pictures now?

And as for the teachers at his school Galyuzman L. Asher, I only know: "One of the works of Asher Leontyevich Galyuzmana miraculously survived, survived became beggars in a hungry 1921's and passed the difficult evacuation."

Can Odessa was a provincial town, its residents had no idea what was happening in the art world? Therefore exaggerated the ability of local artists. And they were not interested then and therefore forgotten. But it was not - enough vsomnit:

'International Exhibition 1909 - 1911 year, "Beauty" B. Izdebsky played a huge role in the turn of the artistic tastes and outlook of students. They were kind of sign approval on Russian soil, avant-garde art to raise the prestige of young local artists, which is not inferior to Western European masters . In Odessa, except inheritance Society of South Russian artists, which exaggerate the Soviet period, there were avant-garde art, the famous "Beauty Izdebsky" 1909 - 1911 years. in the organization of which the active role played by Wassily Kandinsky.

Having decided to hold an exhibition of contemporary art, their manager twice in 1908 and 1909, traveled to Europe: August 15, "Odessa News wrote:" For a personal invitation by famous artists, the event Izdebsky went to Vienna, Berlin, Munich, Paris and Rhyme . His brother Vyacheslav Izdebsky and P. Patinioti organize, acquisition and insurance papers in place.
Him at that time was only 27 years old. In the foreword to the catalog W. Izdebsky said: "The purpose of the" Salon "- present a picture of contemporary art .. give this opportunity to speak with representatives from all directions - from the classical academic art, Impressionism, which the winner walks all the steps, the latter faces a colorful depth to the last. "
December 4, 1909 the opening. Until the end of the Salon "Odessa News" put about 70 different publications, and "The Odessa sheet - to 40-a. Exposition "Salon" was deployed in the former palace of Prince Gagarin.

"Pictures are available in many rooms, luxuriously decorated with the style of the different schools of thought"; "exhibition takes close 14 - Tea Room," "to each room for a day." Journalists hit an unprecedented number of spectators and active buying patterns. Newspapers regularly mentioned: 2 - rd day: "Throughout the day, the exhibition has visited more than 400 persons ... sold several paintings "; on the third day of" Salon "attended by more than 900 persons", "sold 18 pictures at 4500 rubles." "Will, of course, wonder how one man, without any aides, unable to realize such a thing Odessa . In the catalog of the Salon was listed number 746 works and 141 name of the artist. Among them - representatives of the World of Art "," kuindzhisti "Union of Russian Artists, Southern Russia," New Art Society in Munich, the future of "Jack of Diamonds" and many other currents of Russian and Western. Russian art was represented by Bakst, I. Bilibin , Brodsky, B. and D. Burliuks, I. Grabar, Wassily Kandinsky, Lansere, A. Lentulov, I. Mashkov, G. Narbut, V. Falileev, O. Ekster, A. Jawlensky, G. Ostroumov, but Lebedev et al
 From Odessa, had 15 artists, among them: Ye Bukovetsky, M. Gershenfeld, T. Dvornikov, B. Eduards, P. Volokidin.
Foreign: P. Bonnard, G. Braque, Vlaminck AM, M., Denis, C. Van Dongen, A. Marcus, A. Matisse, H. Munter, A. Russo, P. Signac, A. Le Fauconnier, and etc.

On the third day after the opening of the exhibition was visited by K. Kostandi. In the hall of foreign art in the presence of the public held a quarrel between B. and C. Izdebsky Kostandi. Always modest and quiet Kostandi a fairly bluntly accused the owner of "Salon" in the "hype of the provincial public that little versed in matters of art, especially painting."
Izdebsky in response to K. Kostandi accused of failing to understand the essence of innovative art in the denial of the progressive role of innovation and pyatnanii foreign authorities.
From a letter to the editors of "Odessa News:" KK Kostandi allowed himself a most unexpected for me to pour my rank public stream of invectives ... I give the ethical conviction ... Review of the arbitral tribunal, which was offered, K. K. Kostandi. "(V. Izdebsky). From a letter to the editor "Odessa leaflet:" On Sunday, December 6, during the review of my exhibition, I was approached by Mr. Izdebsky ... On the question Izdebsky as arranged, in my opinion, the exhibition, I replied that we could use the same material is more advantageous to the success of the exhibition. " "You have given the best seats mostly bad pictures, but the best things hidden in dark corners." To this I received the following, very touchy response: "You, as the academics (providing that word offended the values of 'rut of tradition" and the like), can not properly understand these works. " Such a response from a former student who knows .. I look at art and appreciate all the lives I had the least to such rude, resentful and unexpected that I was not owning them, snapped Izdebsky what sorry. (K. Kostandi). (It is quite clear Izdebsky had called "a fool").

The incident between Kostandi K. and B. Izdebsky acquired a wide resonance in the press. And as a consequence of the conflict, many of Odessa exhibitors refused further participation in exhibitions. Salon Jobs in Odessa in 1924 ended in the Salon in Odessa, ended January 24, 1910. Exhibitions first salon should have to go to Odessa, Kiev, St. Petersburg and Riga.
"Salon" significantly influenced the education of the Kiev art young to recall this later Osmerkin O., B. Livshits: "The exhibition Izdebsky played a crucial role in the turn of my artistic tastes and beliefs."
In Odessa there were 746 numbers directory in Kyiv - 776, at the Saint Petersburg their number decreased to 656, while in Riga - up to 617. April 19, 1910 opening of "Salon" in St. Petersburg. Known conflict, which arose in the "Salon" during visits to his Repin, K. Chukovsky remembered this: "Elijah E. came to the exhibition .. entered the room, took a step away from one painting to another, looked around and yelled at the whole exhibition: "You bastard!" and stamped his feet and began to make such a motion as if he wanted to exterminate all circle round. "

By analogy to the first, second "Shop" was planned at first to end 1910 - beginning 1911. Advance were harvested posters and clichés for the cover of the catalog of the future with the title "1910/11" Salon-2. This work took over Kandinsky, who lived in Munich. Opening of the "Salon" repeatedly postponed. Finally, on Feb. 6, 1911 announcement appeared: "Salon" Vladimir Izdebsky ... Today is opening at 12:00. day. Exhibited 450 paintings. In the catalog of the second "Salon" is named 57 names, 442 works, and not the decrypted column, "Children's drawings" and "Industrial Division."
In the second "Salon" disappeared all foreign artists, besides H. Munter. It was dominated by works of representatives of the "Jack of Diamonds" Wassily Kandinsky (54 rooms), Burliuk (26), Natalia Goncharova (24), Konchalovsky (15) and Larionov (22), Mashkov (17) ... TYURH members did not participate in the second exhibition. Among Odessa artists showed their works itself Managing and M. Gershenfeld.
Purchased was significantly greater than in the first "Salon": "Despite the apparent large audience unfriendly to new art, paintings left the artists exhibited in the Salon", a brisk sale.
The success of the second "Salon" has surpassed all expectations: "The exhibition was visited by more than 3 thousand people. Half of the visitors - the students. "Due to lack of funds route Salon - 2" was limited to the southern cities. After his exhibition was opened in Odessa in Nikolaev. In Kherson exhibition is also attended by over 1000 people that was only for the time.
Despite the artistic and public success, salons have been extremely unsuccessful financially and had no continuation.
In 1913. Izdebsky left Odessa and settled permanently in Paris. In 1941. He moved to the U.S., where he remained until his death, 1965. "O. Pungina

Known in its time of Odessa artists, details of which work and almost vanished in time:

1.Gintsburg Mikhail Pavlovich, "Courses of painting and drawing artist Mikhail Pavlovich Ginzburg, Assumption, 109.
   Also taught in the 1 st State-owned Jewish schools, corner of Havana and Voennago descent, 13.

2.Morozov Vadim L., lived Elisavetinskaya, 15, and has taught drawing, being a collegiate assessor in the Odessa Institute of Emperor Nicholas 1, ul.Vneshnyaya, 34.

Despite a long life, teaching in large schools and rank, his works are not known, as well as about life. Aside from a small memory Stilianudi when they studied together in the drawing school of one teacher Ladyzhensky GA:
"Ladyzhenskii had their favorites, which often came up, and even correcting their work, not limited to one instruction. One of these was the nephew of Nicholas Korneevich Bodarevskogo, Vadim Morozov. He was surprisingly handed the local color of the object, if I may say so, with photographic accuracy, but did not feel nuances of color overflows. He, incidentally, a good boat built by himself. "

You can take the preliminary results.

Surprisingly, the known, established 100 years ago, Odessa artists, remained practically nothing. Only individual members TYURH - unions, massive propiarenogo Soviet power, more or less represented. And even then, some work in museums. Sales are very few.

 Although it is known that the same Academician Alexander Popov, the last a brilliant course of the Academy, eagerly bought up the "average audience", he appreciated the good pictures "do not cost tens of rubles."
"A large family required a big budget, and he began to write the image to the churches that he was going pretty well, thanks to the smoothness of his writing and academic skill (according to the recollections of AN Stilianudi). Ie enterprising, hard-working artist who has lived many years, academic, eagerly bought by the public. Where the market works, or at least some movement?

Against this backdrop of emptiness is absolutely fantastic figure looks Harlampi D. Kostandi (second half of 1860-after 1917).. "Odessa fellow artists are not very favored" H. Kostandi. Only a collective exhibition, which documented his involvement "2-th International Exhibition" 1897. Odessa, organized by local artist S. Chisinau, J. Brodsky, J. Paolini. Who is he from, where he studied when he died?

As you can appreciate, his paintings away to academics TYURH, but it is the market just pictures, rather than studies, and cost far he walked the entire TYURH. And not just their "sailing ships in a fog" for $ 90,000.

Probably he is one of their White Sail Marine against the total emptiness of those years.

This "statistical" study (and headaches), this issue has led me to some suspicions. If the legacy of Odessa artists do not really left. And certainly almost nothing, on the market. Where there are numerous works of other Russian artists of the early 20 th century? After you pass a couple of expensive sales.

 They have become fashionable, expensive, and there is a commercial tree. Perhaps it arises as a homunculus - in the wake of raising their cost is supposedly attribution of their works, sign their name similar work or actually draw in new ways?

Take extreme options:
Malevich-81 sale, Kustodiyev-185, even Olga Rozanova, less than 8 years of art-19 sales (and "works are in many museum collections), Ilya Chashniki 27 years-55 sales, ....

Compare-Popov, 67 years-4, Dvornikov 60 years-16, and the only "star" K. Kostandi 70 years bypassed the least sold Rozanov 1 pc. - 20 papers (and then, almost all the sketches). And this TYURH. Others are covered with darkness.
