Story about the artist

Pavel Dmitrievich Korin is a hereditary icon painter. From childhood, he learned to paint icons, graduated from the Palekh school of painting, worked in Moscow in the icon-painting chamber of the Donskoy Monastery. Then he again went to study, now at the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture. During this period, his artistic interests were determined: he actively works in the portrait genre. In the portrait gallery created by the artist, there are many outstanding figures of Russian culture: writer A. N. Tolstoy, sculptor S. T. Konenkov, masters of painting M. V. Nesterov, M. S. Saryan, group portrait of "Kukryniksy" (M. V. Kupriyanov, P. N. Krylov, N. A. Sokolov).

The portrait of Alexander Nevsky stands apart in this row. This is a symbolic portrait of the prince-hero who defeated the Livonian knights in 1242. After 700 years, in 1942, during the days of the struggle against the Nazi invaders, Pavel Dmitrievich Korin creates a work depicting Alexander Nevsky.

The fact is that in the face of a formidable enemy, people look at the past of their country in a special way. The pages of history are being rethought, distant events are being turned to as if for support: after all, it was difficult before, how did you survive? On the eve of the Great Patriotic War, the famous director S. Eisenstein staged the feature film "Alexander Nevsky", and already during the war, in 1942, the orders of Alexander Nevsky, Suvorov, Kutuzov were approved. It was as if the great commanders of the past were getting back into the ranks in order to help the Motherland defeat the enemy in difficult times.

Later, Pavel Dmitrievich Korin himself recalled: “I wrote to Nevsky during the war years, trying to reflect the rebellious, proud spirit of the people, who rose to their full gigantic stature.”

It was difficult to write. The armory has been evacuated. And the artist had to paint helmets, swords... In the historical museum, he finds a copy of the helmet of Yaroslav Vsevolodovich, the father of Alexander Nevsky, and writes a small sketch. He draws fragments of chain mail, observes how its links are connected, what is the design of the shell of an ancient Russian warrior.

Let's take a look at this painting.

He

Describe the character's face. Why does it attract attention? (We see a manly face with regular hard features. His expression is stern. We understand that before us is a man ready for a difficult battle: his lips are tightly compressed, his eyebrows are shifted. There is no fear in the eyes, but there is determination to go to end.

What details of clothing emphasize that we have a warrior in front of us? (The prince is wearing metal chain mail, heavyth pancir, armor. Arms and legs are protected by metal armor. On the head- helmet, in the hands - a huge heavysword. A purple cloak falls heavily from his shoulders. Exactlywarriors dressed in Rus'.)

Depicting the prince, the artist strove for a reliable transfer of details. However, in the hands of the prince there is only a heavy cast sword, but there is no other necessary attribute - a shield. Why do you think? ("Perhapsmu that the shield is designed to defend itself.Alexander Nevsky is preparing not to defend, the SA to defendtheir land, their people. I think thatprince - a symbol of the shield, a person who must protectdefend your homeland.")

What does the posture of the commander tell us? (He firmlyit on their own land and will not give up a single inch of it. He's readyprotect this land, because that's how it becomesa man who wants to protect someone. His legs are spread. Hands grip the sword tightly. His posture speaks ofspiritual and physical strength of this person, his confidenceyou in yourself and the upcoming victory.)

On the right in the picture we see a banner with the image of the Savior - the Savior, Christ. This flag is unusual. How is it shown? (The background of the banner is unusual - black. In the pricethree banner - the image of the Savior. Unusual expressionhis eyes, they are somehow sparkling, angry)

What is the hero of the picture ready to defend? (He is ready to defend the Russian land: its vast sky, churches, rivers, forests, hills - everything that wewe see paintings behind him.)

Art history text (genre nopmpem foot essay)

Read the passage.

The image of Nevsky in the triptych has the meaning of a historical symbol. Nevsky stands above the Volkhov, as if on the edge of the earth, towering over the ancient cathedral, over the forest of the far shore. He stands with both hands clutching the hilt of his sword, ready to fight to the end. The wind drives thunderclouds, flutters the banner and the purple cloak on the shoulders of the prince. In this image, as if forged from steel from head to toe, there is determination and fearlessness, and conviction in victory. The chronicler wrote about such people: “Behold, the people are winged!” And you believe, thanks to such Russia, Rus' was forever unconquered, independent.

“I wanted,” said Pavel Dmitrievich, “to convey the character of a Russian person, to embody that spirit of courage, which is an integral feature of the nation, which prompted the people of Russia to fight to the death in battles, go forward, look for new lands, ways in science, create new songs. ..”

And "Alexander Nevsky" by Korina is a hymn to a man who has fulfilled his duty, beautiful with the power of conviction and the posture of noble independence.

Orally describe the central part of the triptych by P. Korin Alexander Nevskiy. What does the artist emphasize in the portrait of the hero?

Answer

The triptych was commissioned to the artist during the Great Patriotic War, when the theme of confronting the invader was central in art. The soldiers going to the front were inspired by him. The rear, providing the soldiers with food, weapons and clothing, also found solace in him.

"Alexander Nevsky" was written under reports from the front, under the roar of anti-aircraft guns, under the bright light of searchlights cutting the sky. It was intended to evoke uplift and inspiration in the souls of the audience, the confidence that the enemy can be defeated, no matter how terrible he may seem, and no matter how countless his hordes were.

On the left and right sides of the triptych, the soldiers are going to war. They are escorted by women - an old mother leaning on a stick, a wife holding a small child in her arms. It is worth fighting for them, for the sake of life continuing, the child grows up, the mother was able to live out her life in peace and quiet, and not in all-consuming fear for her son. The land itself, its river, the village, the little church also needs protection, and is also going to wait for its sons.

In the middle, the image of a warrior develops naturally. Alexander Nevsky - the man who stopped the German knights, like no one else could inspire the defenders of the country to fight the fascist invaders. In his figure there is something monumental, the memory of the ancient heroes, and at the same time - icon-painting severity, a banner with the face of Christ, reminiscent of the holiness of the Russian land. He stands leaning on a sword, a banner is drunk behind his back and a cloak flutters in the wind, and, fully dressed in armor, he waits for those who need to fight to come. They will come and die by the sword with which they came.

And behind him is a defenseless, dear, beloved land. A white-walled city on the river, a cloudy, frowning sky, ready, it seems, to cry. You have to fight for them, for the children and mothers left in the city. And it is impossible not to win - just as Alexander could not help but win in his time.

Pavel Dmitrievich Korin (1892–1967)

Pavel Dmitrievich Korin

Work on a large canvas "Requiem" Korin began in 1929. The artist wanted to depict a solemn service in the Assumption Cathedral of the Kremlin. Working on sketches, he created many expressive and truthful images of the old life, well known to him from early childhood. In 1931, A. M. Gorky saw the sketch for the Requiem. The writer understood the depth of Korin's intention, who was going to show the tragedy of the passing world, but the theme of the picture, and most importantly, its title, did not correspond to the spirit of the Stalin era. Gorky invited the painter to name his future painting "Departing Rus'".

Russian painter Pavel Dmitrievich Korin was born in Palekh, in a family of hereditary icon painters. From childhood, surrounded by the beauty of Russian nature, brought up in the atmosphere of an icon-painting workshop, the boy early began to see the world around him through the eyes of an artist.

At the age of 16, Pavel graduated from the Palekh icon-painting school, but the desire to improve the skill of the painter led him to Moscow, where in 1908 the young man entered the icon-painting chamber of the Donskoy Monastery. Here Korin was noticed by the artists K. P. Stepanov and M. V. Nesterov, who became his mentors.

Korina had a real, great friendship with Nesterov. On the recommendation of this well-known by that time master, in 1912 Pavel entered the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture in the studio of K. A. Korovin and S. V. Malyutin. During the years of his stay at the school, Korin paid much attention to field studies and sketches. The work of A. A. Ivanov, the author of the famous Appearance of Christ to the People, had a great influence on him. From fragments of this picture, the young artist made many copies. Like Ivanov, Korin carefully studied the work of the old Italian masters, spent hours drawing sitters and antique statues.

The idea of ​​​​creating the same grandiose canvas as Ivanovo's "The Appearance of Christ to the People" appeared with Korin back in 1925. Soon he began to write sketches for the planned composition. For the painting, the artist created many human types. Unfortunately, the canvas, which could have become a masterpiece of historical painting of the first half of the 20th century, was never completed. Many fragments written for the "Requiem" can be considered complete independent paintings.

One of the best sketches for "Departing Rus'" was the canvas "Father and Son" (1931, Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow). When creating it, Korin used the method of matching characters. Two are depicted on the canvas: a father, a tall, powerful old man with a gray beard, and a son, whose fragile figure and pensive face betray him as a man of a different time. The models for the heroes of the picture were the woodcarver, self-taught sculptor Sergei Mikhailovich Churakov, and his son, the famous restorer Stepan Churakov. Showing two artists, so similar and at the same time completely different, Korin presented not so much portraits of his contemporaries as images of talented folk types.

Thanks to A. M. Gorky, Korin was able to travel around Italy, where he saw with his own eyes the famous creations of the great Italians. Abroad, the artist began a portrait of Gorky (1932, Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow), completed already in Russia. The artist depicted a tall, thin figure of the writer on the shores of the Gulf of Naples. Gorky's expressively sad face. It is felt that this middle-aged, terminally ill person is disturbed by heavy thoughts. The master managed to capture the state of mind of the writer. Gorky liked his portrait, monumental and at the same time deeply psychological and sincere.

In Russia, Korin continued to work on Departing Russia. By 1932, there are drawings depicting the Cathedral Square of the Kremlin, a sketch with the interior of the Church of the Resurrection on Ostozhenka.

A year later, a fragment was created - "Hieromonk Hermogenes and Schema-Hegumen Mitrofan" (1933, Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow). Holding the cross firmly in his hand, a stern old man in a hood looks at the viewer. In his eyes - the firmness of faith. Next to him stands a short stocky monk with an uncovered head. Although his eyes are lowered to the ground, his face expresses complete detachment. Depicting specific people, the artist at the same time captured the image of a whole generation, gradually fading into the past.

Looking at the faces of the three women shown in the etude "Three" (1933-1935, Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow), the viewer feels the emotions that control the heroines of the painting "Departing Rus'". The central place in the composition is given to the old woman, bent by time. She leans heavily on a stick, but in her eyes there is an extraordinary authority and fortitude. To her right stands a middle-aged woman with a kind, calm face. In the huge blue eyes and tightly compressed lips of the third, their younger companion, one feels a tragic, complex and contradictory attitude towards the world around them.

Among the most successful sketches is the psychological portrait Schema-Hegumenya Tamar (1935, Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow), also intended for Departing Rus'. Korin wrote to the schema abbess a few weeks before her death. The figure and face of the old woman seem motionless, detached from the world. Only her eyes are alive, full of sadness and wisdom.

Continuing work on "Russia Leaving", in 1935 Korin was engaged in studies of the interiors of the Assumption Cathedral, where the artist was going to place the heroes of his painting. In 1939, commissioned by the Committee for Art Affairs, the painter began to paint portraits of his contemporaries - artists (artists L. M. Leonidov and V. I. Kachalov, pianist K. N. Igumnov, artist M. V. Nesterov, etc.).

During the Great Patriotic War, Korin turned to the images of the heroic past of Russia. In his Moscow workshop, he created mosaic panels for the Palace of Soviets, depicting great Russian commanders and defenders of their native land (“Alexander Nevsky”, “Dmitry Donskoy”, “Alexander Suvorov”, “Mikhail Kutuzov”).

In 1942, at the request of the Committee for Arts, Korin began to work on the triptych "Alexander Nevsky" (1942, Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow). In the central part of the triptych, the artist depicted a full-length figure of Alexander Nevsky. In the hands of the prince, dressed in the armor of a Russian warrior gleaming with metal, is a huge sword. Rising above the horizon, Alexander Nevsky obscures the gloomy sky, the city spread out on the river bank with white-stone temples. Above the head of the prince flutters a banner with the face of an angry Savior. Vertically elongated, laconic and strict composition has a monumental and majestic appearance.

In 1943 the artist completed work on the triptych. In its left part, called the "Northern Ballad", a woman in a black headscarf and an elderly warrior are depicted. With his right hand, he leans on a sparkling sword, his left hand extended forward, as if protecting his companion and the city, the buildings of which are visible behind him. Slender trunks of trees growing on the shore emphasize the solemn grandeur of human figures.

The painting "An Old Tale", the right side of the triptych, is a three-figure composition. Striving for monumentality, the author gave it a somewhat theatrical look. As in the other two parts, the human figures in the painting are located high above the horizon line. In the center of the composition is a small fragile old woman leaning on a stick. Delicate, painted with almost transparent strokes, the flowers surrounding the woman seem to repeat the wonderful patterns of her clothes. The artist depicted on his canvas the famous northern storyteller Krivopolenova. Next to her are the defenders of the Russian land - a tall, muscular young man and a mighty gray-bearded old man.

In the autumn of 1945, Korin began work on a portrait of G. K. Zhukov. The famous commander, dressed in a parade uniform, appears in the portrait as a stern, courageous man.

In the post-war years, the artist was engaged in mosaic panels for the newly built stations of the Moscow Metro. V. I. Lenin. Elegant and solemn compositions represent the military leaders of the past and modern commanders, as well as the final episodes of the war, where the main character is the victorious people.

During this period, Korin continued to work on portraits of his famous contemporaries, capturing on canvas the images of the sculptor S. T. Konenkov, artists M. S. Saryan, Kukryniksy.

Korin is also known as a talented restorer who brought back to life many beautiful masterpieces, including paintings from the Dresden Gallery.
