I think the biography of the artist, Professor Volokidina Paul Gavrilovic knows most of the forum. Born December 10, 1877 at pp. Arkharova Orel province. Since 1910 - Member TYURH, since 1918 has taught painting at Oxy. Soon the name Volokidina will bind not only the brilliant canvases of the artist, but also such a thing as art school, the school, which opened the Russian art is not one of the bright talent. Disciple Volokidina was N. Sheluto, who in turn taught masters such as K. Lomykin and V. Litvinenko.
Volokidin is one of the founders of the Society. KK Kostandi (1922).
    After the departure of Nilus and Bunin, Volokidin held a workshop in a wing of the famous house Bukovetskogo Street. The Princely (former studio Nilus).
Never on the Princely was not so much youth: NA Sheluto, P. Parhet, Kibrik, V. Lazurskii. Absolute dedication, a rare talent, multiplied by the demanding of themselves, broad erudition, ease of communication, young people are attracted to it.
   As one of the disciples: "Paul Gavrilovich taught us to see, understand the difference between" painting "from" not art "....", And the artist V. Polyakov, who had studied at Volokidina in the 30's, wrote about his teacher:
"He was kind of fascinated by a stranger with a crystal-clear mind. His devotion to art was absolute. In a hungry 22-th year, barefoot, he went to teach and bring in the pockets of his jacket tubes of paints for those who need them. "

   Today I was at the Second Christian cemetery in Odessa, where 73 years ago, was buried Paul Gavrilovich. Two and a half hours, constantly bumping into the rats living there, I was looking for his grave, walking in circles on one small square. I even could not imagine that it is a garbage dump in a poor condition.
   It often happens that a person who died, there was not a relative, living in the city where he is buried. But how many students of art schools, students Grekovki, University. Ushinskogo daily hear the name Volokidina, exploring creativity of his students write essays and thesis work on the South Russian school of painting. It would be great if the students - future artists at least once every six months will be able to organize "the Sabbath and to pay tribute to those people who really deserve to be remembered about them, not only in the pages of books and the Internet.

One of the Mohicans, pillars of the Odessa Art School and is a shameful attitude ... this is precisely the misfortune of our nation - we do not honor our past and history.

Thank you for participating already fixed, as I could. But without improvised. Bare hands normally are not clear. I bought at the entrance of artificial flowers, which were.
Honestly, it was impossible to simply turn around and leave. Indeed, you need something to make an orderly manner. There, next to, say, there is still grave Dvornikova and Kostandi, but I did not find them. Okay, so Kostandi have relatives who remember and cared for.
