Petrov, Ivan Semenovich

[Marjana]

Petrov, Ivan Semenovich (1924-1990) a master of battle painting, the author of numerous dioramas in museums of Ukraine, perhaps, one of the few artists who devoted their lives to the historical canvases.
He was born Oct. 7, 1924. War of 1941-1945, direct party which happened to be Ivan Petrov in his youth, influenced all his future work. In 1948 - graduated from the Kharkiv Art College and enrolled at the Kiev State Art Institute (now the National Academy of Fine Arts and Architecture), which graduated in July 1954, a masterful historical battle-painting professor
KD Trokhimenko, a student NS Samokish. He worked in the historic and battle genre in painting and drawing. In 1983, artist-battle-Petrov, Ivan Semenovich was awarded the title of Honored Artist of Ukraine. Of all the historical paintings, created by Ivan Petrov, "Bogdan Khmelnitsky and Polish ambassadors" the earliest work dedicated to the history of the episode when, following the accession of Ukraine has started a war between Russia and Poland. Later, in the artist's paintings of battle-pieces were reflected acts of many people who influenced the course of world history, and Prince Vladimir, Count Munnich, Suvorov, Mikhail Kalinin, Frunze, and hundreds of those whose names are not immortalized, or is it included in the long marble lists .
John Smith was an amazing person, one that already has become history, a galaxy, which has played such a big role in the formation of Soviet art.

P.S. I'd add, is not surprising that after 18 years after the death of the artist in the National Union of Artists of information about it is impossible to obtain, the Crimean organization CX announced a family vendetta. Yet not one of the family. There is a real war for the housing problem, and interestingly, organization, created in order to protect the rights and interests of artists trying to throw from the apartment's oldest members, who, herself, and created a year since 1956, and in their flats for 50 years lived. That such intellectuals, and not to the art of them all.

IN CRIMEA revealed intolerant WORKS OF ART
   Alexey Vasiliev
Thursday, October 30, 2008 "Crimean time"
If you are asked to call the outstanding Russian artists who worked in a rare battle is now a genre, the memory is likely to emerge Greeks, Vereshchagin, Samokish ... We can recall a few other artists, and in this expanded list, by no means the last place takes the name of Ivan S. Petrov (1924 -1990), the last four decades of his life working in Simferopol.
In the mid-fifties of the last century, after graduating from the Kiev State Art Institute (Petrov grasped the battle-science professor at the workshop Trokhimenko, student Samokisha), its like one of the best graduates, sent to Simferopol - to teach in the Crimean Art College. Samokisha.

By the way, Ivan Semenovich Communion to "battle-science" not only in the quiet walls hudinstituta - before that Petrov had fought in the Great Patriotic War (battle scenes, never smelled gunpowder, always made me suspicious).
Already in the Crimea, a subtle colorist, a master of psychological portrait, masterfully wielding the composition, John Smith has created more than a dozen large-scale battle dioramas and no account of historical paintings, many of which are in museums in Ukraine.
Today in the Simferopol Art Museum continues to work exhibition of his paintings. Exhibits paintings and graphics of the period of 1950-1960 years. Most of this exposition is given sketches on paper over the picture of Bogdan Khmelnitsky and Polish ambassadors. Of all the historical paintings, created by Ivan Petrov, this - the earliest work dedicated to the history of the episode when, following the accession of Little Russia started the war between Russia and Poland.
Because of its enormous size, none of the dioramas in the exhibition of the artist is not represented - only sketches, such as the outline for the Diorama "The defeat of Wrangel under Ishunyu 1920" and "The Siege of Korsun troops Prince Vladimir of Kiev in 989.
Director of the Simferopol Art Museum Larina Kudryashova told that the last-mentioned diorama measuring 200 x 530 x 130 cm belongs to the National Reserve "Chersonesos. But at the moment the audience can not see her in the Sevastopol exposure. Due to repair the buildings of the museum Chersonese, or for some other reason, the diorama was removed, and when it decided to establish in its place, it turned out that the picture is severely damaged in the field of bending. The work was given to the restoration, but the money to carry out works is still no ...
The real masterpiece of the battle-painting is exhibited at an exhibition in Simferopol Art Museum painting "The Capture of Bakhchisaray troops of Count Munnich in 1735. Cloth Bakhchissaray belongs to the museum. I wonder why I had not seen it this masterpiece?
- Because at the request of the Crimean Tatars it was removed from the exposure Bakhchsarai Palace - explains Larina Kudryashova - it is in the store.
I do not know you, but I was surprised by this passage more than disappointed. Imagine that a group of Australian Aborigines demand away from the museums of the world boomerangs, the Pygmies - ritual masks, the Germans will need to hide all that relates to the Third Reich and the Russian wish to conceal the fabric Vereshchagin, Vasnetsov, Konstantin Vasilyev and other artists, which is not shown that someone wants. And the museums of the world in an instant empty.
You say: "That's impossible!" Perhaps. But, apparently, only one point on the globe - in the Crimea. I will not discuss the cultural level demanded to remove the masterpiece of Ukrainian painting of the battle (obscene words in the newspaper are not welcome). But as he could go on about the group of illiterate people a government official - the director of the museum (by the way, the namesake of the artist) Evgeni Petrov? Oh Do not be intimidated or bribed him? I began to make inquiries, and found that it was not the first Bakhchisarai "painting, which has got to such a disgrace, - somewhere in the dusty storerooms of canvas, which shows a graph Sheremetev, rejected the proposal of the Crimean Khan. And away, away ...
Do not be surprised if I hear that Bakhchissaray Palace (remember, not medzhlisovskoy patrimony, and in the State Museum) will, for example, to burn the dress of Catherine ... strange that the leadership of the museum is forgetting that we do not live in an Islamic state, and country with Christian (as if this is someone wanted neither) traditions.
Unfortunately, I could not get through the Director Bakhchissaray historical and cultural reserve Yevgeny Petrov - I was told that he was ill. Wish Eugine speedy recovery and offer a tactical move to help defuse the situation somewhat: pass Simferopol Art Museum intolerant now Petrova-artist.
