In the summer of 1946 in Odessa Museum of Western and Eastern Art held the first solo exhibition by Dina Mikhailovna Frumin. The exhibition is called "Sketches of Samarkand". "The author showed the charm of its distant land with a gentle murmuring irrigation ditches, violent flowering trees, softly falling snow, hot sun-drenched architecture" (T. Mickle). This exhibition was the only one of half a century.

What is so displeased the generals from the culture of refined, poetic painting of a young artist? One critic called Frumin "Akhmatova in the painting." It would seem flattering comparison, but not during the decision to close the magazines Zvezda and Leningrad, when baited MM Zoshchenko and AA Akhmatova for foreignness and aestheticism. Frumin accused of susceptibility to the influence of Impressionism, in aestheticism. I must say, they had a fine artistic sense, these critics of the court. Their "score" has coincided with feelings of Robert Falk, a painter, past Parisian art school and who knew the masters firsthand. After seeing the work Frumin, thanks to Falk played her Chopin. "It was unheard of generosity. Falk was an excellent pianist, "- says Dean M..

With Dean Falk, M. met in Samarkand, where the fall of 1941 were evacuated all the art schools of the country.

But let's start from the beginning, and from afar. Dina M. belongs to a generation that knew and kept their roots, unlike later, when children and grandchildren were safer than not know their ancestral line. Maternal grandfather, baptized in the cantonments of Boruch with Boris, distinguished himself in the war in 1877 for the liberation of Bulgaria and was awarded the George Cross. After demobilization he received a recommendation to the landowner Kondratskomu to place the control economy. Estate at the beginning of the XIX century and owned Zinaida Volkonskaya called Volkonskaya. After the construction of the church was renamed the Trinity. It is in this village, then Trinity (now - the Odessa region.) March 13, 1914 and Dinah born Frumin - the second child of Mikhail Khodorkovsky and the Esther Emmanuilovny Frumin, nee Rubin. In August, the First World War. Father was drafted into the army. In 1915 he was wounded and taken prisoner by the Germans. Ran unsuccessfully three times, but the fourth flight was successful, and in 1918 he returned home. Mikhail Borisovich was self-taught artist, worked for the German colonists, made furniture, laid the parquet (in their figures), the 20-ies. painted scenery, costumes for local theater productions.

The township of Trinity, in which the Dina's childhood was not a city or village, namely the borough, which had hundreds of the Pale of Settlement in old Russia. There were several thousand people - Ukrainians, Poles, Jews, Greeks, Russian. Church, church, synagogue distinguish them religion; stirred and united them bazaar, dozens of shops, stalls and little shops. Girl grew cheerful, lively and intelligent. Interest in art was awakened early. Everything began with the reading and the desire to illustrate the reading. Soon the whole school was filled with her drawings.

Fifteen-year girl arrives Dean Frumin in Odessa, and enters the professional school of Art, where her first teacher becomes MK Gershenfeld (1880-1939) - painter, graphic artist, stage designer, art critic and writer. He studied and worked in Germany and France, participated in exhibitions in Paris "Salon." Three years later, brilliantly graduated from art school, Frumin comes to graphic faculty of the Odessa Art Institute, at once II course. And again her luck with the teachers: Prof. M. Beetle graduated from Krakow Academy of Fine Arts, TB Fraerman (which the French Encyclopedia Benešov said: "The French school. Participant and winner of the Autumn Salon Exhibition"), MD Mutselmaher - pupil, VA Tabor. However, in 1934, the Odessa Art Institute was reorganized into the School of Arts, and was opened in Kiev Art Institute (now the Academy of Arts). About to go to study in Kiev, there could be no question: in 1932, dying father, elder brother of Emanuel serves in the army, leaving his mother one is unthinkable. Begins the struggle for existence: the mother cleans the vegetables at the cannery, Dean runs the registrar on the jute mill (during lunch runs to the pond draw). Once, in a telegram to send a product, instead of Kara-Bogaz-Gol, "she writes," Carolino Bugaz. We have to find another job. Dean finds a job in the quarantine laboratory - to write letters text on diseases of trees and plants. At the same time fulfills the orders of the underground Artel - paints umbrellas, fans, screens, tablecloths, cloth. In the late 1935's brother returned from the army, and three days later Dean went to Kiev to continue their studies.

Six months, she is studying at the preparatory department, and for the excellent performance of the examination papers it is taken without competition the first year of the artist's studio FG Krichevsky, who studied in Moscow, Valentin Serov, A. Arkhipov, L. Pasternak.

Frumin thesis defended already in Samarkand in 1942. Supervisor was Professor at the Moscow Institute of Art S. Gerasimov. Picture "in his own family, depicts a young Uzbek-war veteran among his relatives, was stripped of false pathos, lyrical. It corresponded to a soft fine painting.

Life in Samarkand was not easy: disorder, famine, were extraordinary, it was impossible to find cardboard, paper, paint. And write easily and talented! She enthusiastically wrote sketches East, to communicate with interesting artists, who taught at the Joint Institute of Fine Arts (Moscow, Leningrad, Kiev).

In October 1943, together with the Art Institute Frumin falls in Moscow. For the presented studies of Samarkand take her to the Union of Moscow Artists (MOSH).

In Moscow, she worked at the Byelorussian railway station - drawing posters for the campaign train, going to the front. Works in a mosaic workshop, PD Corina.

After the war ended in 1945, Dina M. returned with his family in Odessa. She brings a work written in Samarkand, and present them at the exhibition itself, which caused an official displeasure.

For many years to show activity is limited participation in the exhibitions of individual works, which were always dressing to show the true connoisseurs of art.

External circumstances do not stop the creative process. Appear of different genres (still life, landscapes, portraits). The softness and the perfection fascinate: Through the transparency of the lines and spots exude beauty and wisdom that can discern, not everyone. She writes a lot of portraits of his friends and pupils. All my life Dina M. writes self-portraits, which reflect the time, circumstances, life.

Twenty years (from 1948 to 1968) gave Dina M. Odessa Art School, teaching painting, drawing and composition. Here in 1952 she founded the Museum School, which became the best exhibits of student work.

Among her students a lot of talented artists: Igor Ostrovsky, L. Mezhberg (USA), G. Malyshev, SV Sychev, AA Freidin, M. Ivnitskii, Richter (USA), Mezheritsky (Israel), D. Becker, and and two professors - G. Gizha (Petersburg Academy of Arts) and A. Basanets (Kiev Academy of Fine Arts). Her students see themselves, even those who actually did not go to it in the studio, but its influence felt.

"All I had time - this is the result of random snatches, stolen from the time and circumstances. The artist must be free. Free from unnecessary worries of extraneous emotions. To make your gift, you must be selfish. Such lucky in the history of very little. I envy them. I, unfortunately, a slave. Do not have time, could not implement something that's capable of. What should I do? .. "- Dina M. wrote in a letter to a friend.

And she was not succeeded? .. The artist, whose works adorn any museum.

Dina M. writes poetry: "What else to do in the long and sleepless nights? I write for myself. "

Faced, read,
And the homeless dog is howling,
And for some reason maeshsya and maeshsya,
Why do some continue to live.

(Written after reading "Memoirs" Esther Marques).

In November 2002, in three halls of the Odessa Museum of Western and Oriental art, more than half a century, opens solo exhibition of the artist, DM Frumin. We have to discover the "Akhmatova in painting».
