Description of the painting by Rylov “Green Noise”

Among the outstanding and famous Russian landscape painters is Rylov Arkady Alexandrovich.
His landscapes of mood have repeatedly surprised not only art lovers, but also the creators themselves.
Having lived for many years in the North, he put his love for these places into his paintings.
Great delight and celebrity to the author brought his canvas "Green Noise".

This painting took two years to complete.
The author created three copies of such a raging beauty.
All of them take pride of place in the Russian Museum, the Tretyakov Gallery and the Kiev Museum of Russian Art.

The first impression that is created when looking at the picture is that it is bright.
Saturated green and blue colors amaze with their violence.
Even the blue sky with white clouds glows with brightness and contrast.
The author showed us a hill near the river.
A small green clearing among mighty trees offers a beautiful view of the meandering river with white sails.
But it is the trees that attract the most attention.
They just move in the picture from a strong wind.
Their branches are inclined to one side or the other, giving the impression of a sounding noise.
The author observed all these beauties in his native land.
He wanted to convey not only the beauty of nature, but also its character and sound.

When you look at this work, you get the impression that you look out the window, breathe in the fresh air, feel the scent of nature and hear its song.
This is amazing.

I really like to go to art galleries and look at the work of artists, imbued with a variety of feelings. I especially like pictures that depict nature with all its charms. You look, and you understand how happy we are, because we live among such beauty. Too bad not everyone sees it. Perhaps that is why the role of artists is invaluable, because it is they who help to consider this beauty. And then one day, visiting the Tretyakov Gallery, my attention was attracted by the wonderful work of Arkady Rylov Green Noise.

In fact, Rylov created many paintings, capturing the beauty of the places where he lived. But the most remarkable and famous two works: In the blue expanse and Green noise. Just talk about the second today and we.

The painting Green Noise, which refers to landscape painting, was painted by Rylov in 1904. It took the author two years to work on this canvas. He rewrote it many times in order to convey not only nature with its riot of colors, but also sounds, noise, movement. To convey the sensations that arise when you look from a hill at the stretching expanses, at a wide river and a green grove. And in the film Green Noise, Rylov succeeded. The canvas brought fame to the author, and the country received a wonderful work in its treasury of painting, which causes a lot of ambiguous emotions.

Description of the picture

The painting Green Noise by Arkady Rylov is very interesting and causes a storm of emotions. You look at her and the first feeling is the most beautiful. I would like to admire the rich colors, the wide water surface, which can be seen in the background, the beauty and harmony of the birches, whose branches flutter in the wind. But it is worth peering into the work of the author more closely, there is a feeling of anxiety. You begin to hear the sound of birch leaves, which are being blown by a strong wind. Old birches do not care about this wind, but young birch trees can be uprooted, destroying this beauty.

Looking at the picture, you understand, most likely a storm is coming. The wind is already starting to pick up its strength. The sky is depicted in light colors, which allowed the author to emphasize the brightness and richness of other colors, highlighting the blue water and green tree crowns. However, clouds begin to gather in the sky. Maybe it will rain soon.

When I look at the picture, it seems to me that I am there, and my face is blown over by the currents of the wind. I stand on a hill and cannot take my eyes off the approaching elements. My ear enjoys the music, which creates an orchestra of green noise and a breath of wind, and beautiful words from Nekrasov's poem of the same name, Green Noise, spin in my head.

green noise

Arkady Rylov - an outstanding Russian landscape painter was born in 1870. His canvases surprise with their mood and beauty, thereby delighting not only the audience, but also the performer himself. Rylov was born on the road (his parents were heading to Vyatka) and lived most of his life in the North and lovingly invested all the beauty of those places in his paintings, and the canvas “Green Noise”, on which he worked for two whole years, glorified the artist. He conveyed not only the incredible beauty of his native places, but also the sound, character, harmony and thoughts. In 1904, three copies were already created, and all of them are in Russian museums.

The first thing that catches your eye when looking at this masterpiece is the brightness, brilliance, saturation. The clear blue sky, adorned with snow-white clouds, gives contrast to the dark green trees and the blue of the water. The picture with all its appearance conveys life and youth, despite the trees depicted, which are not a single dozen years old.

The author painted a wonderful landscape of a sunny day. The view opens from above, from the mountain, on which large mighty trees grow, and below a wide winding river flows, and white sailboats float along it. Due to the indistinct images of grass and tree crowns, it is clear that a strong wind is blowing with all its might bending the branches, creating noise.

Looking at the picture, one gets the impression that I am in that clearing and look at the real, and not at the painted beauty of nature. I inhale the fresh air, I smell fresh grass, the aromas of small but fragrant flowers, and I hear the song of rustling leaves.
The name of this canvas was given by Bogaevsky, who was one of the first invited, together with Kuindzhi, to evaluate the picture. Looking at it for the first time, he began to quote Nekrasov's poem "Green Noise" words, which are ideally suited to the landscape, and the assigned name remained.

    In the paintings of Rokotov, there was always a certain charisma and charm on the part of the model for the picture. It can be seen from the pictures that when writing them, the author tried to pay as much attention to the face and look as less to everything else.

A friend of the remarkable Russian landscape painter Arkady Aleksandrovich Rylov, artist K. F. Bogaevsky once jokingly remarked:
“The picture was painted by Arkady Alexandrovich Rylov, and Green Noise is my invention.”

Rylov himself, in the book of his wonderful memoirs, vividly tells about the circumstances under which the poetic name of this widely known painting was born, and at the same time acquaints us with its creative history.

“I painted three large paintings and several smaller ones for the exhibition,” he says. “Before the exhibition, as usual, Arkhip Ivanovich Kuindzhi came to us (Rylov’s favorite teacher and his highest artistic authority). The soul went to the heels when his strong call was heard, a familiar fur coat and a beautiful head with a frosty mustache and beard appeared. Kuindzhi went to Bogaevsky's room... from Bogaevsky he came to me.

Reluctantly, I put a landscape with birches on the easel. I was not entirely satisfied with the picture, but Arkhip Ivanovich praised it, as a rule he rarely praised it. I worked very hard on this motif, recomposing and rewriting everything several times, trying to convey the feeling of the cheerful noise of birches, of the wide expanse of the river. I lived in the summer on the steep, high bank of the Vyatka, under the windows the birch trees rustled all day long, dying down only in the evening; a wide river flowed; one could see distances with lakes and forests. From there I went to the estate to the student. There, the alley of old birches, going from the house to the field, was also always noisy. I loved to walk on it and write and draw these birches. When I arrived in St. Petersburg, I still had this “green noise” in my ears. I was surprised that Arkhip Ivanovich liked this picture, and was, of course, terribly glad. They called Bogaevsky and the three of them began to smoke and talk peacefully. Bogaevsky, seeing my picture, began to recite Nekrasov's poem "Green noise is coming, buzzing ..." This is how the name of the painting "Green Noise" was given.

Green noise!
The high, steep bank of the river, above which the leaves excited by gusts of wind rustle with a sweeping rumble, boats flying far below under white sails, the boundless expanse of the district and the clouds in the high blue of the windy sky - everything in this echoing, saturated with movement picture is imbued with a feeling of love for native nature and delight in front of her restless "restlessness". And is it any wonder that the appearance of this picture in the pre-revolutionary year of 1904, when the approach of thunderous peals of a social storm was already clearly felt in the air, was perceived by contemporaries, those who were waiting for the fresh wind of the revolution, as a significant poetic symbol, as a kind of figurative anticipation of the coming social updates? Full of stormy dynamics, Rylov’s painting evoked a public response unexpected for the artist, and his wonderful landscape, saturated with green noise, attracted the hearts of the audience not only with its high aesthetic merits, but also with the social pathos that advanced pre-revolutionary Russia felt in it.
The picture immediately gained wide popularity, and the name of the author entered the history of Russian painting forever. A modestly conceived landscape with birches, inspired by the noise of leaves fluttering under the gusts of wind, sounded like a bright major chord in the history of Russian landscape art. The artist created a work in which he not only showed his charming talent as a painter, but also outlined many new ways for the development of our post-Levitan landscape.

An excellent description of Rylov was left to us by his senior colleague in art, Mikhail Vasilyevich Nesterov, an outstanding Russian artist. In his book "Old Days" he wrote:
“The years from the beginning of the 900s to the very year of his death were an uninterrupted chain of successes for Arkady Aleksandrovich, his admiration for the most diverse beauties of his native nature. His name became honorary, but in no way flashy, in Russian art. Talent grew stronger, his images became more and more significant, and he, not being tendentious by nature, was informative. The charm of Rylov's paintings lay in their inner and outer beauty, in their "musicality", in quiet, caressing, or spontaneous, stormy experiences of nature. Its mysterious forests with the noises of their forest dwellers breathe, live a special, enchanting life. Its seas, rivers, lakes, clear sky, promising a “bucket” for tomorrow, or a sky with clouds rushing somewhere - promises trouble - everything, everything is in action with Rylov, everything is dynamic - the joy of life replaces its drama. The dark forest is full of anxiety, the stormy banks of the Kama, perhaps, bring death to someone. We experience the autumn flight of birds over distant seas as a personal loss of clear days. Everything with Rylov is full of meaning, and he is nowhere, in any way, indifferent to the meaning, to the ongoing mysteries of nature and its inhabitants. He sings, glorifies and magnifies the Motherland...

Rylov is not just a “landscape painter”, he, like Vasiliev, like Levitan, is a deep soulful poet. He is dear to us, he is dear to us, because nature releases Rylovs very, very sparingly ... "

Our daughter is in the 3rd grade, and she was asked to write an essay based on Arkady Rylov's painting "Green Noise". Here is the picture:

And here is Katino's essay:

"The painting by Arkady Rylov "Green Noise" depicts a windy summer day. Trees standing on a steep bank bend under gusts of strong wind. Their foliage rustles and trembles. Thin young birch trees seem to want to break away from the ground and fly away with the wind, but they are not allowed mature trees.The clouds ask the mother birch to let the children go, but she does not agree.The trees are noisy and arguing louder and louder.
In the background, small boats under sails rush along a wide river. A strong wind carries them easily, like feathers. Not even the clouds can overtake them.
This painting evokes in me a feeling of admiration for nature, its beauty and power."

I must say that this picture causes completely opposite feelings in me. For me, a strong wind is fear, anxiety, danger! I would say that this picture is catastrophic, that the artist captured the beginning of the storm. In the distance, the sky is still pale turquoise, but heavy clouds creeping in from behind the edge of the picture portend a close hurricane. The raging river carries uncontrolled boats swiftly. They do not manage to moor to the shore, and they will certainly break! Young birch trees bowed with a helpless plea, but this will not help - they will still be uprooted. The big trees feel like they will be mercilessly broken, but for now they have the strength to resist the oncoming wind. This picture makes me feel doomed and powerless in front of the rampant elements.

After we expressed our impressions, we decided to read what they write about this picture in the literature. And it turned out that Katya's daughter turned out to be closer to the artist's intention than her mother: Rylov himself writes in his memoirs that he "tried to convey the feeling of the Merry noise of birches." And the advanced public of that time (the picture was painted in the pre-revolutionary year of 1904) generally saw in it a hint of the approaching "thunder peals of a social storm" and "a symbol of the coming social renewal."

    Katya received “five” for the essay. The teacher even wrote her “Well done!” in a notebook. But we missed the Russian Language Olympiad. While we were going to “start preparing for it”, it had already passed (((

    Katya’s essay is excellent, it’s immediately obvious that the child reads a lot. All essays are given to us with difficulty, we write according to the proposal.

    A copy from the painting “Green Noise” turned out to be sinister. The river and the sky are inky. The youngest granddaughter has heard enough of your reasoning about the picture, and now, she calls the golden autumn in the yard “yellow noise”! After all, the wind carries yellow leaves from the trees with noise! Yellow leaves crunch underfoot.

    And immediately in my head the recitation of the poem “Green noise is coming, green noise, spring noise!”
    The colors on the copy are really abnormal. It doesn't make me feel at all, to be honest.

    young birch trees of the same age, but apparently they grew in different places, judging by the curvature of the trunks, and Rylov does not catch up with fear, rather the expectation of a cold snap without rain.

    it seems to me that the essay is good, it’s not in vain that the teacher praised
