"Morning" from "Native speech"
Tatiana Yablonskaya. Morning
1954
At the exhibition “Windows to Russia. Masterpieces of Seven Generations” was worth a visit, even if there were no other masterpieces, except for everyone famous painting Tatyana Yablonskaya "Morning".
We all saw it in childhood in the textbook "Native speech" (or "Russian language" - it depends on your age :) and wrote an essay on it. Now "Morning" was brought to us for an exhibition from the Tretyakov Gallery.
The girl is doing exercises in a flooded sunlight room. This, as they say in the annotations to the picture, is the daughter of the artist Elena. And the apartment is in Kyiv. And various painted decorative plates and vases are from the collection that Tatyana Yablonskaya collected.
And if you still dig on the Internet, you can find a melodramatic story about a boy from Kazakhstan who fell in love with this girl from the picture. He cut out a reproduction from some magazine and hung it over the table. And years later, while studying in Moscow, the young people met and got married...
Mikhail Kugach. Parting
2002
In total, the exhibition has 5 paintings from the collection of the Tretyakov Gallery - in addition to the mentioned "Morning" by Tatyana Yablonskaya, these are the works of Alexander Deineka, Yuri Pimenov, Alexander Labas, Dmitry Zhilinsky.
And five dozen works from the collection of IRRI - the Institute of Russian Realist Art, one of the largest, if not the largest private museum in Moscow.
Personally, I haven’t heard much about IRRI, but after seeing today’s exhibition and opening its website, I decided to definitely go there. And I advise you. This museum opened in 2011, but is already considered one of the the best collections Russian realistic painting 20th century. The exposition occupies three floors of the former building of the Moscow cotton-printing factory. Too bad it's far from the subway...
A few more paintings at the exhibition are from our art museum.
You didn't think strange name Exhibitions? What is “Windows to Russia”? And what are the "Seven Generations"?
The organizers decided to show the history of Russia, as it were, "through a window", and for this they selected paintings in which there are windows. (Only one exception is A. Deineka's painting "On the Balcony", but where there is a balcony, there must be a window somewhere. Yes, such an author can be included in the exposition without a window and without a balcony - everyone will only be happy!)
When they began to search, it turned out that there were enough paintings with windows for more than one exhibition, they were so often seen on canvases. Probably not by chance. The window is a symbol. This is a window from century to century or from home life to public life. This is the opportunity to combine two genres in one picture, and much more than windows help the artist. It is strange that no one had thought of making an exhibition according to this criterion before.
But now we will be pleased with the lectures "The Image of a Window in the Art of the Thaw", "From Stained Glass to a Window Window. A Window in World Architecture", "Oknography, or Seven Ways of Representing a Window in Russian Painting of the 20th Century" and others, with the same speaking names.
By the way, the exhibition itself, and lectures, and excursions, and even interesting master classes for children - all this is free! Information about the time of the event can be found on the websites of the museum and the exhibition. The number of places is limited - you need to have time to register on the exhibition website: http://70.ingos.ru/event/shedevry
Alexander Gritsai. Autumn gold
1977-1987
And in honor of what is this auction of unprecedented generosity and what kind of "Seven Generations"?
This entire project is dedicated to the anniversary of the Ingosstrakh company and continues the Ingosstrakh program to support the arts and culture of Russia.
In the year of the 70th anniversary of Ingosstrakh, the exhibition “Windows to Russia. Masterpieces of Seven Generations” takes place in 8 cities of Russia - from Kaliningrad to Vladivostok. Our Nizhny Novgorod is the third in the list.
The main idea of the project is to show millions of Russians how our country has been changing over the course of almost 200 years (seven generations?) using the example of works created by classical painters of Russian and Soviet art.
However, at our exhibition of paintings painted before the revolution, I did not notice something. Perhaps they are too valuable to carry around the country.
Therefore, the project travels in two formats - classic and multimedia exhibitions. Within the framework of classical exhibitions, more than a hundred works are presented (apparently, the exhibition catalog changes from city to city), including masterpieces by Alexander Deineka, Sergey Gerasimov, Yuri Pimenov, Georgy Nyssa, Geliy Korzhev, Viktor Popkov, Erik Bulatov and other famous painters of the twentieth century.
And here multimedia project makes it possible to see living canvases famous paintings Ivan Shishkin, Ilya Repin, Ivan Aivazovsky, Marc Chagall, Kazimir Malevich and other prominent artists, including those of the 19th century.
Now let's go through the halls.
A guided tour was held for journalists at the opening. But even if you look on your own - pleases good design exhibitions and especially detailed information plates for almost every painting. Moreover, many names of artists are not so well known to everyone. Let's broaden our horizons.
Yuri Pimenov. Window
1977
In the first hall - the most masterpiece of the brought masterpieces. About "Morning" I have already said. About a woman who is either washing or sunbathing "On the balcony" also mentioned - see for yourself.
But on the production theme - "Window" by Y. Pimenov from the collection of the Tretyakov Gallery.
Yuri Pimenov. Morning in the city. From the series "New Quarters"
1964
“The topic that I call “New Quarters” has been for me for many years and remains very attractive now. Not even because it is very architecturally beautiful. For me, new quarters are not plans or blueprints at all. For me, it's just people moving into new homes. These are housewarming parties, weddings, some dates at new doors, in general - walks in new areas. This is new air - the air of new, good, fresh houses,” said Yuri Pimenov.
Friends and relatives of the artist said that he liked to walk for hours among the neighborhoods under construction. This passion for novelty remained with the artist until the end of his life.
Yuri Pimenov. At the fitting room
1960
And the third work of Pimenov - from the funds of the Nizhny Novgorod State Art Museum.
Alexander Labas. On the train
1934
(from the Tretyakov Gallery)
"Alexander Labas belongs to a generation of innovative artists who sought to capture the formation of a mechanized world. Labas is one of the usual modern man phenomena as a miracle: the movement of cars and trains, the swiftness of planes cutting through the sky, he exalts to the state of poetry.
The work "On the train" is no exception. The speed of the train is palpable. The artist blurs the landscape, makes the figures of passengers abstract. Neglecting technical details, Labas is looking for the exact rhythm of movement, trying to convey with the help of painting the feeling of frantic speed, which is breathtaking."
Sergei Gerasimov. Panorama of the city
1930
By the way, the urban view of the "Panorama of the City" stands out against the background of Gerasimov's other works of this genre. The master was more interested in the idyllic views of his native Mozhaisk and its environs."
George Nyssky. Moscow. Stadium "Dynamo"
1942
"In the 1920s, Georgy Nissky joined the circle of masters of the Society of Easel Artists (OST). Unlike the Ahrrovites (Association of Artists revolutionary Russia), who continued the traditions of the Wanderers, the Ostovtsy did not deny the avant-garde developments of the artists of the first two decades of the 20th century. The themes of their works are the construction of cities, industrialization, sports, transport, the creation of the image of a new generation of people and healthy people ready for exploits.
Emphasized contouring of objects, lapidarity, rejection of narrative and superfluous details determine the artist's pictorial search in his favorite genre of industrial landscape.
In the painting "Moscow. Stadium "Dynamo" (1942) Georgy Nissky depicted the neighborhood of the "Town of Artists" on Nizhnyaya Maslovka, where he worked.
Helium Korzhev. Family
1951
"Geliy Korzhev is one of the most powerful masters of the 20th century, the author of the famous triptych "Communists" (1957-1960) and the series "Scorched by the Fire of War" 0962-1967).
The work "Family" was created by Korzhev in the 1950s - during this period the artist concentrated on genre painting... At this time, new quarters are growing all over the country, and literature and cinema are showing more and more interest in the lives of ordinary people.
Usually in mid-century painting household plots are distinguished by excessive staging, but only not by Korzhev. The realist artist here is trying to convey to the viewer not an impressionistic impression, but a feeling that rallied these two people. The couple here is combined into a plastically organic, single figure.
Alexander Deineka. Restoration of Rostselmash (panel sketch)
Late 1940s
"Deineka actively participated in artistic life young Land of Soviets since the 1920s. His paintings fully reflect the poetics of the Society of Easel Artists, at the origins of which stood Deineka.
This graphic work was created in the late 1940s and is dedicated to the restoration largest enterprise for the production of agricultural machinery - Rostselmash. During the Great Patriotic War the plant was evacuated to Tashkent a few days before the occupation of Rostov-on-Don by fascist troops. The plant began its work already 10 days after the liberation of the city, and by November 1948. Rostselmash has been completely restored."
Grigory Chainikov. Spring came
2007
Apparently, this work is too new to be included in the list of "masterpieces". Therefore, the organizers did not write anything about her.
But almost every visitor to the exhibition took a selfie against the backdrop of this village girl. For what? To immediately be noted in social networks about involvement in "masterpieces", as they say. But the picture is really big and bright.
Alexander Laktionov. Portrait of Ivan Ivanovich Ilyashev
1937
Nizhny Novgorod State Art Museum
"In this portrait, Laktionov depicted his countryman and distant relative, Rostov lawyer Ivan Ivanovich Ilyashev. Ilyashev's wife, Tatyana Nikiforovna, was the artist's aunt. This connection with the artist once saved Ilyashev's life. During the occupation of Rostov by fascist troops, he, according to neighbors, worked translator in the German commandant's office.
Now it is already difficult to understand whether this denunciation was false - the wealthy Ilyashevs kept apart from their neighbors in house No. Z6 on Socialist Street, in which the family lived, but after the release of Rostov, Ivan Ivanovich appeared before the court. Thanks to the intercession of Laktionov, whose work "Letter from the Front" was then known throughout the country, the execution was replaced by exile in the Krasnoyarsk Territory.
ABOUT later life Ilyashev after returning to Rostov, it is known that he taught at the Rostov Institute of National Economy.
Evgeny Frolov. Portrait of a ballet dancer Usova
1985
"Evgeny Frolov was nicknamed the "Nizhny Novgorod Dutchman" - in the 1990s and 2000s, the artist created works in the spirit of the classical academic tradition of Western European painting. This portrait depicts the sister of the artist's wife. Frolov painted a baperina at the open window, in which you can see the city landscape with idealized architecture.In this parallel, the influence of the era of romanticism can be traced, when nature and the model in the picture exist in harmony with each other. "
It's nice when the works of Nizhny Novgorod masters get into the "Masterpieces ...". It immediately comes to mind that two years ago the first personal exhibition Evgeny Alekseevich, which, unfortunately, he no longer saw.
Viktor Popov. One. Sketch of the painting of the same name
Late 1960s
"... The painting "One" is part of the famous "Mezen cycle" by Popkov. While working on it, the artist repeatedly visited northern villages. Mezen is a small town in the border zone in the Arkhangelsk region. In addition to the Popkov cycle, he is known for his folk craft - wood painting - existing for 200 years.
The main themes of the cycle were the fate of Russian women - widows who lost all their loved ones during the war. Preserved diary entries artist at work
“I made a drawing from my mistress. Its very silhouette, internally very similar to the marvelous, black in the rain, wooden church, served as an occasion for the painting "One". One often comes across the opinion that this work is gloomy, dreary. I understand that not everyone wants to look at her, to enter this world, when there is so much joy, happiness, youth around. It's not easy for me either. But what to do?"
Igor Obrosov. Flowers and Sun
1983
And again, the organizers did not find what to write about this picture. No problem. Many citizens of Nizhny Novgorod are familiar with Obrosov's work.
Dmitry Zhilinsky. Winter in the south
1977
State Tretyakov Gallery
“In this portrait, Zhilinsky depicted himself with his mother, Anastasia Fedorovna.
The composition of the picture is built in the manner of a classical Dutch portrait 17th century. Hence the image of an artist with attributes - a brush and a canvas.
The window opening plays an interesting role here. The view from the window was interpreted by Zhilinsky as a panorama of the world - it is no coincidence that one can see in it not only a country road, but also hills, sea and sky on the horizon. To enhance this impression, Zhilinsky slightly "tip" the landscape on the viewer.
Mikhail Kugach. Temple in the village of Ozeyarovo
2006
Mikhail Kugach was born in Moscow, but at the same time he calls the famous Academic Dacha near Vyshny Volochok his homeland. There he created many landscapes and genre paintings. Kugach repeatedly painted temples of the Vyshnevolotsk region, among them such indisputable masterpieces as the Church of the Intercession of the Most Holy Theotokos in the village of Ozeryaevo.
At the time of writing the picture, the church was in disrepair - closed since 1936, it has never been restored. In 2007, the inhabitants of Ozeryaevo started in the church repair work which continue today.
Max Birstein. Honored Artist of the RSFSR master bone cutter Tukkay. Whalen.
1963
"A tireless traveler, Max Birshtein traveled almost the whole world. He also visited Chukotka. In many ways, this trip was a forced measure for him - in the 1960s, the artist was banned from traveling abroad for ten years. At the same time, the trip was very fruitful, from Chukotka Birshtein brought a lot of sketches and sketches.
He reached the easternmost locality Eurasia - the village of Uelen, where the artist met the famous artisan Tukay, who ran a local bone carving workshop.
“We settled in the house of the famous bone carver Tukkay,” Birshtein notes in his travel notes, - "I am painting his portrait at work."
Vasily Yakovlev. Whistle Village
1947
"The future artist began studying painting in the workshop of Vasily Meshkov, and then continued it at the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture, where at that time Konstantin Korovin and Abram Arkhipov taught.
Master of the ceremonial portrait. Vasily Yakovlev showed his talent in other genres, including the peasant one, which includes the work "The Village of the Whistler".
In the picture, rural life takes on a special sound. The artist writes an old house and a barn with more than once repaired roof. The barn door is open, at the entrance a woman in a headscarf feeds chickens. The second heroine of the picture stands with her back to the viewer, talking to someone through an open window. Nearby is a calf with its head stuck in an empty bucket. The artist is passionate about every little thing and puts together the image of a cozy peasant life from seemingly ordinary details.
Ironic and at the same time not indifferent attitude to peasant life reflected in the picture, the compositional and color techniques refer to the work of the Dutch painters of the 17th century."
July 19 in Kaliningradskaya art gallery the first exhibition within the framework of the project prepared for the 70th anniversary of the Ingosstrakh company began its work. Mobile for six months art project visited six cities: Kaliningrad, Sochi, Nizhny Novgorod, Krasnoyarsk, Yekaterinburg and Vladivostok, where he is now. Special projects were presented in Moscow and St. Petersburg. During this time, almost 54,000 people (the data is being updated - the insert has not yet closed in Krasnoyarsk and Vladivostok) were able to see paintings from the collections of the IRRI and the Tretyakov Gallery. More than a hundred paintings took part in the exhibition project, including masterpieces by Alexander Deineka, Sergei Gerasimov, Yuri Pimenov, Georgy Nyssky, Geliy Korzhev, Viktor Popkov, Erik Bulatov and other famous painters of the 20th century.
"Implementation joint project“Windows to Russia. Masterpieces of seven generations" has become important event. During the exhibitions, we have strengthened relations with the museum institutions of the regions of Russia and got the opportunity to present to the audience works that were previously inaccessible to viewing. Moreover, we have revised our views on the funds and on the permanent exhibition of the Tretyakov Gallery and plan to replace the paintings of some artists with those of their works that took part in the project,” says Zelfira Tregulova, General Director of the Tretyakov Gallery. — Separately, I would like to note that without the support of Ingosstrakh and IRRI, this project would not have been possible. Exactly the fact that the curator and operator of the entire project was the young private museum Institute of Russian Realistic Art, allowed to realize it on the very high level and in the most as soon as possible. In addition, the exhibition “Windows to Russia” will certainly be another step towards opening a branch of the Tretyakov Gallery in Vladivostok.”
“Windows to Russia. Masterpieces of seven generations” is a project that symbolically unites our entire country from west to east. “I am sure that our exhibitions delighted the guests and brought them unforgettable impressions,” comments Mikhail Volkov, Director General of Ingosstrakh. — It is no coincidence that we chose the theme of art for our anniversary federal project. The company traditionally supports cultural events and is a participant in conservation programs cultural heritage nation. In addition, Ingosstrakh has been insuring art objects for many years in a row, and during the exhibition of masterpieces not only in Russia, but also abroad.”
According to the director of the Tretyakov Gallery, Zelfira Tregulova, “for museums in Moscow and St. Petersburg, regardless of whether it is a state museum or a private one, as in the case of the IRRI, it is very important to show exhibitions of their works in the regions.”
“Previously, there was a state-supported program to show capital exhibitions in regional centers. Now, unfortunately, due to the lack of budget funding, such programs are facing big problems. In the project “Windows to Russia. Masterpieces of Seven Generations” it is very important to unite the efforts of the largest national art museum, one of the most interesting and vibrant private museums and the Ingosstrakh company, which does an incredible amount so that we can organize exhibitions in the regions and reliably insure works, not “ while flying out into the pipe.
“For us, this traveling exhibition has become a new and extremely important experience. Despite our young age - IRRI turned five last year, we have implemented two notable international projects, but did not stop thinking about showing canvases from our collection in the cities of Russia. Thanks to Ingosstrakh, this idea came to life. Selection principle for traveling exhibition allowed us to take a fresh look at own collection. Interesting, intriguing stories are connected with the canvases presented at the exhibition, which we tell our new viewers in full detail, ”says Alexei Ananiev, founder of the Institute of Russian Realistic Art, about his participation in the project.
Entrance to all exhibitions and the master classes and lectures dedicated to them was absolutely free. The exhibition can still be seen in Vladivostok - the exposition is open until January 14, 2018.

All this - organized by "Ingosstrakh" for its 70th anniversary of a series of exhibitions across the country "Windows to Russia. Masterpieces of seven generations."
Mine anniversary year Ingosstrakh is celebrating under the motto "Ingosstrakh 7.0 - insurance in the seventh generation". The main idea of the project is to show millions of Russians how the country has changed over the course of almost 200 years, using the example of works created by classical painters of Russian and Soviet art.
“It is customary to receive gifts on a birthday. But we decided to depart from this tradition and in our anniversary year we ourselves present a unique gift to the Russians - the project “Windows to Russia. Masterpieces of seven generations,” says Mikhail Volkov, Director General of Ingosstrakh. “This is a project that symbolically unites our entire country from west to east. I am sure that our exhibitions will delight guests and bring them unforgettable impressions. anniversary federal project. The company traditionally supports cultural events and is a participant in programs to preserve the cultural heritage of the nation.

"Despite our young age - IRRI turned five last year, we carried out two notable international projects, but did not stop thinking about how to show canvases from our collection in the cities of Russia. Thanks to Ingosstrakh, this idea came to life.

“For museums in Moscow and St. Petersburg, whether it is a state museum or a private one, as in the case of IRRI, it is very important to show exhibitions of their works in the regions,” Zelfira Tregulova, director of the State Tretyakov Gallery, picks up. in regional centers. Now, unfortunately, due to the lack of budget funding, such programs are facing big problems. In the project "Windows to Russia. Masterpieces of Seven Generations" it is very important to unite the efforts of the largest national art museum, one of the most interesting and vibrant private museums, and the Ingosstrakh company, which does an incredible amount so that we can organize exhibitions in the regions and reliably insure works, not flying out at the same time "into the pipe".
The paintings that will be presented at the exhibitions are insured by Ingosstrakh under the terms "with responsibility for all risks". The insurance covers all possible damages, as well as the risks of complete loss of items that occurred for any reason. The project will last until the end of the year. Entrance for visitors to all exhibitions will be free.
