Kupriyanov Mikhail Vasilyevich (1903-1991) An outstanding Soviet painter, graphic artist and cartoonist, author of world-famous political posters. Member of the creative team of Kukryniksy. People's Artist of the USSR (1958). Hero of Socialist Labor (1973). Active member of the Academy of Arts of the USSR (1947). Laureate of Lenin (1965), five Stalin (1942, 1947, 1949, 1950, 1951) and the State Prize of the USSR (1975), the State Prize of the RSFSR. I. E. Repina. He worked in the field of satire, on works on a political theme, historical-revolutionary and the theme of the Great Patriotic War. Mikhail Vasilyevich Kupriyanov was born on October 21, 1903 in the small town of Tetyushi, located not far from Kazan. Graduated from VKHUTEMAS/VKHUTEIN in 1929. (Studied with Professor N. Kupreyanov, drawing was done by P. Miturich, P. Lvov). Mikhail Vasilievich Kupriyanov is one of the three masters whose creative community is known under the pseudonym Kukryniksy (Kupriyanov M.V., Krylov P.N., Sokolov N.A.). These outstanding masters worked in different types, genres and techniques of fine arts. Together they created large paintings of great artistic persuasiveness. A high patriotic spirit permeates their canvases on the theme of the Great Patriotic War. This team constantly collaborated in various literary and artistic publications. Subtle humor combined with exquisite taste distinguish their illustrations for works of domestic and foreign literature. An amazing combination of talents allowed them to brightly and fully reveal themselves in joint work. However, the unique handwriting that each of them had before the unification continued to develop quite independently. In the work of Kupriyanov, painting and graphics are organically synthesized. Accurate energetic drawing is combined with a truthful, noblely beautiful color scheme. The artist often uses silhouette solutions that give his studies, soft and harmonious in color, a kind of sharpness. Simplicity, conciseness and persuasiveness of visual techniques are characteristic of Kupriyanov the landscape painter. By the content and depth of feeling that Kupriyanov puts into his landscapes, their figurative completeness and compositional integrity, many of his works become a kind of etude-picture. Already in the early works of Kupriyanov, his talent for founding and “conquering” space was manifested. It is felt that he is experiencing genuine pleasure, gradually taking the viewer's gaze into the depths, skillfully using the laws of linear and aerial perspective. Space for him is not only an objective reality, but also a means for revealing the artist's feelings, for creating a meaningful emotional image. He worked independently as a painter and graphic artist, painted a large number of landscapes near Moscow, views of European cities: Venice, Naples, Paris, Rome (“Sukhanovo” 1945, “Moscow. Neglinnaya street” 1946, “Pier in the evening” 1947, “Moscow” 1948, Leningrad 1949, Sea of Azov 1951, Bridge on the River 1953, Venice Bridge 1957, Paris 1960, Venice Canal 1963, River 1969, Koktebel in October 1973, " Rome" 1975, "Genichesk" 1977, "Litvinovo. Summer" 1979).Paintings by M.V. Kupriyanov are in the State Tretyakov Gallery, the Pushkin Museum im. A.S. Pushkin, State Russian Museum, Research Museum of the Russian Academy of Arts, Vilnius State Museum of Art, in private collections in Russia, Italy, Spain, France, Germany, Japan, USA.

Yesterday, November 11, 2010, exactly nine years have passed since the death of the outstanding artist of the Soviet era, Mikhail Vasilyevich Kupriyanov.
He is familiar to the layman with satirical sketches under the pseudonym Kukryniksy, which unites several authors: Mikhail Vasilyevich, Porfiry Nikitich Krylov and Nikolai Aleksandrovich Sokolov. This creative union, which existed for many years, brought its participants well-deserved worldwide fame and presented Soviet and world culture with many remarkable works. It's amazing, but despite the joint work in each work, you can guess the "handwriting" of each of the three authors. However, the other side of the work of Mikhail Vasilievich Kupriyanov is little known to the general public. In addition to caricature, he was seriously engaged in other areas of fine art.
A bit from the biography. Mikhail Vasilyevich was born in the Kazan province in the village of Tetyushi on October 21, 1903. He studied at VKHUTEMAS at the printing department. His teachers were P. V. Miturich and N. I. Kupreyanov. It was during his student days that he wrote the first works that later became famous (“Reading”, “Student”, “In the courtyard of VKHUTEMAS”, “Student”, “In the hostel of VKHUTEMAS”).
In post-student creativity, Kupriyanov pays great attention to the landscape. Working in the fresh air, he is distracted from all the fuss, the work completely captures him, he writes with passion, with inspiration. This passion allowed him to create such amazing landscapes, looking at which is breathtaking, and the viewer, just like the artist once, will be transferred to the landscape. What can we say, if in the landscapes of Kupriyanov you can even see the air! Mikhail Vasilyevich worked not only in the USSR. Unlike many of his fellow citizens, he often visited Europe. Landscapes of Paris, Rome and Vnetsia are captured on his canvases. In them, he caught the "face" and unique "character" of each city. Due to the fact that Kupriyanov was able to highlight something elusive, but something that everyone knows, the landscapes of these cities are so impressive.
The life of this remarkable artist was long and happy. And the contribution that Mikhail Vasilyevich Kupriyanov made to our art can hardly be overestimated. His work is timeless. It is as relevant today as it was 20, 30, and 40 years ago.

2. Creativity
The work of Mikhail Vasilievich Kupriyanov, known to many for his sharply satirical sketches or illustrations for favorite works of art under the collective pseudonym Kukryniksy, is much deeper and more multifaceted, it covers various areas of fine art. Many years of fruitful work as part of a wonderful creative group, together with artists and friends P. N. Krylov and N. A. Sokolov, gave the national culture many wonderful works and brought their creators world fame, but, in no case, did not depersonalize the individual work of each author .
It is fair to say that the artist came to an exquisite pictorial form much later, after graduating from VKhUTEMAS, at the printing department of which he learned the basics of mastery from his teachers P. V. Miturich and N. I. Kupreyanov. By this time, in particular, his works made in black watercolor (“In the hostel of VKHUTEMAS”, “In the courtyard of VKHUTEMAS”, “Student”, “Student”, “Reading”, etc.), in which the young artist demonstrates the beautiful mastery of drawing and technique of light and shadow.
Communication with outstanding Russian artists M. V. Nesterov and N. P. Krymov to a large extent shaped the worldview of M. V. Kupriyanov as a painter. Subsequently, he recalled the instructions of N. P. Krymov, who argued that only color can help decide the tonal relationship of light and dark. The tone, the overall tonality of the picture, the ratio of light and shadow, enhanced by color, color spot, according to prominent Russian painters, is painting itself.
M. V. Kupriyanov does not turn to genre themes, but to the inherently chamber genre - landscape. Working in the open air allows him to escape from the worldly bustle and look into his inner spiritual world, which requires peace and silence. It was them that the artist found on the shores of the Sea of \u200b\u200bAzov in the small town of Genichesk. Kupriyanov, a landscape painter, is a real singer of nature, he conveys its unique images in his paintings with the greatest care, skillfully transfers the subtlest states of air, water, and sky to canvas. With undisguised interest and penetration, landscapes are painted, made on foreign creative trips. Paris, Rome, Venice appear in all their historical and architectural grandeur. The artist captures the special charm of each city, hears the beating of his heart, sees and conveys the color scheme inherent only to this place.
Mikhail Vasilyevich Kupriyanov lived a long happy creative life. He created many beautiful works of art, unique in their craftsmanship and deep in their spiritual content. It is difficult to overestimate his contribution to the artistic culture of our country. His talent revealed many facets, he was lucky to experience the extraordinary joy of creativity, success, recognition. But the most important thing, probably, is that his art has not lost its relevance to this day, it lives, excites contemporaries, makes us think about the beauty and transience of life and about what, leaving, a person leaves behind.
