MOSCOW, October 14. Itar-Tass Olga Svistunova /. One of the largest and most anticipated projects of the season is today the State Tretyakov Gallery /THG. Here, the grandiose exhibition devoted to 150 anniversary of the birth of the great Russian artist Isaak Levitan /1860-1900 /.

The date itself has fallen by 30 August, but then not all masterpieces were willing to make in the best show viewers. On many paintings conservators painstakingly worked, returning them to pristine gloss. Update required, for example, familiar yet at the illustrations in textbooks - "Golden Autumn", "Evening Bells," "Above the Eternal Peace", without which the jubilee exhibition would be simply impossible.

"The picture Levitan over 100 years. They are well preserved, but the layers of paint here and there, stratified, and in some places could see the canvas" - explained the reason for the restoration curator of painting Levitan Love Zakharenkova. "Levitan could paint a picture, put it up against the wall and forget about it. Then he again returned to the track and rewrote it. Once students have seen the artist as he stripped the paint sandpaper" - told the employee THG.

She recalled that the last monographic exhibition of the painter was at the Tretyakov Gallery 50 years ago. And now, after half a century, viewers will enjoy the unique exhibition including some 300 paintings, sketches, pastels, watercolors and drawings Levitan from 17 museums in Russia and abroad.

But, of course, most are works from the Tretyakov Gallery. The basis of the richest collections levitanovskoy laid himself Tretyakov, when in 1880 it was bought by a nineteen-year painter's landscape, "Autumn Day. Sokolniki. Since then, the collector closely followed the works of talented craftsmen and a rare year that did not take any of the newly created them. Total Tretyakov was purchased more than 20 paintings by the artist, was one of his best creations.

However, everything brilliant legacy of the painter gives a real pleasure, and leaves no one indifferent. Thus, consistently affirming the correctness of words by Alexander Benois, made sometime over the famous levitanovskoy "Silent monastery:" You never know it was written before the monasteries in the pink morning or evening light? Little did clear creeks, groves of birch? However, it was clear that here Levitan said a new word, and that henceforth he shall be among the first of all. "

Jubilee exhibition of outstanding landscape will continue in the Tretyakov Gallery until March 20. Information support: ITAR-TASS.

I dreamed as much as before

You dare to dream of me -

In his orange scarf,

In the stillness of the garden.


How golden grove,

Ever, my love,

Dream Levitan

Sadness of life ...

WAN GENTLE ARTIST
Isaac Levitan In the Tretyakov Gallery

Text: Sergei Khachaturov

"Painfully delicate" characterized the relationship Levitan their pictures Sergei Diaghilev. The same epithet applied to the artist himself, and his short life. Enthusiastic about the art of essay Diaghilev admired artist opens a magnificent exhibition catalog THG, marking the 150 anniversary of the birth of Isaac Levitan. The exhibition can be called a historically significant: it assembled a phenomenally large archive of the master of many Russian museums, the museums of the former Soviet republics and even from the Israel Museum in Jerusalem, which is rich in works of Levitan due diligence of the artist's nephew - Zachary Petrovich Birchanskogo.


Few painters from the circle of the Wanderers and their followers to stand the test of personal exhibition. Levitan not just survived, but will see the complex, not always read threads Russian art history, her fate and prospects.
Thanks to the successful work of the studio "About Design" exhibition, despite the huge amount of work, got a light, airy and some of "their", translating the feeling of aching tenderness that emit a landscape master.


What is the secret Levitan? Why he does not seem old-fashioned, archaic? Why his art is not infected with viruses salon, typical in a conversation about the realist landscape painter of the second half the last century? Why it was adopted not only in the circles Peredvizhnichestvo, but among miriskusnikov symbolist? Exposition suggests the answer: Isaac Levitan created a universal formula for the plastic landscape of Russia, giving a portrait of nature all the qualities of a great historical picture. From the history of Russian art is well known that in the late 60's peredvizhnicheskaya idea of painting - Acting of exposure of the document such as a pamphlet - has survived the crisis. The very language of art, its space-plastic laws require a scale of expression. It was necessary to return to the territory of a good painting, and tackle the big, far from newspaper journalism of the problem. And the image of the positive hero was tea and privechaem. And it so happened that in many respects landscape - first the first teacher Levitan, Savrasov, then the second teacher, Polenov - took the mission of the great plastic and semantic synthesis, which previously served as the historical picture. Scenic view of the world can unite and historical canvases Polenov, and even "Procession" Repin. In the work of Levitan this pantheism landscape vision Rasei realized completely.


When you look at the artist's paintings up close, admiring the rough and bumpy texture, then one wonders how far it is mostly from the Impressionist "steps" smear technique: tone principle levitanovskom landscape is important and in demand. Color Levitan largely corps, in the form of the objective world. Even the skies in rem by the difficulty of erecting the picture of the universe. And this eternal thingness ingeniously correlates with increasingly cloudy, not a luxury and not a frivolous Russian nature, love and understand you - great work. Work test painful tenderness.
