"Getting rid of the Troubles", "The death of the invasion", "Moscow meets the heroes of Poltava", "Defend Sevastopol!", "Triumph Russian fleet"," We are Russians, God is with us! — the very names of his monumental historical canvases speak for themselves.

For Vasily Nesterenko, turning to the past is, first of all, an opportunity to speak the language of history about the problems of the present. For example, the painting “Defend Sevastopol!” devoted to Crimean War mid-nineteenth century, but it is obvious to everyone that this is a call to contemporaries.

The theme of history in the artist's work is closely connected with spiritual painting. He recreated the colossal murals of the Temple Christ the Savior, painted many churches in Russia and abroad.

Numerous sketches and cardboard paintings, a whole series of works on spiritual subjects will be presented in the Manezh exposition.

landscape painting Nesterenko is an attempt by means of art to convey sensations that are beyond the scope of painting: the sound of the surf in Kamchatka and the smell of the waves of the Black Sea, the transparency of Baikal and the cold of the Altai lakes, the heaviness of wet snow on the branches and the noise of falling leaves in autumn forest. The works devoted to the nature of the Urals, Siberia and the Far East are united in a cycle called "Frontiers". A series of works "Oh, Russian land!" - the anthem of Central Russia, with its poetic nature, temples and monasteries.

The painting "Defend Sevastopol"

And about the work "Defend Sevastopol" they just want legends. It was written in 2005 for the 150th anniversary of the defense of the city in the Crimean War. The picture somehow became popular in the Crimea and Sevastopol, which greatly irritated the leaders of Ukraine in those years.

Vasily Nesterenko is a recognized leader of contemporary Russian art. Widespread fame brought him historical canvases and temple paintings. Having received a full academic education, he masterfully owns all the means of painting. Vasily Nesterenko's works are in Russian and foreign museum collections, personal exhibitions have been held with great success in almost all major cities of Russia, in many countries of the near and far abroad. For example, most recently, in the State Art Museum of China in Beijing and in the Vatican Museums.
In the entire history of the Great Manezh, the largest exhibition hall in the country, only a few artists have been able to decide to organize an exhibition on its premises. For Vasily Nesterenko, this is the third solo exhibition at the Manege. Hundreds of paintings and graphic works of the Master will be placed on two floors.
The name of the exhibition is “Our glory is the Russian State!” most fully reflects the creative path of the painter, his goals and objectives, the artistic and emotional orientation of his works. Russia is the main theme of the exhibition and all the work of Vasily Nesterenko. This is our glorious past, and a reflection of historical and spiritual traditions in today's world, and the diversity of nature, and images of contemporaries.
The basis of the exhibition is historical works dedicated to the key moments of Russian history. "Getting rid of the Time of Troubles", "The death of the invasion", "Moscow meets the heroes of Poltava", "We will defend Sevastopol!", "The triumph of the Russian fleet", "We are Russians, God is with us!" – the very names of his monumental historical canvases speak for themselves.
For Vasily Nesterenko, turning to the past is, first of all, an opportunity to speak the language of history about the problems of the present. For example, the painting “Defend Sevastopol!” is dedicated to the Crimean War of the middle of the 19th century, but it is obvious to everyone that this is an appeal to contemporaries. The canvas became one of the symbols of the heroism of the Russian people, anticipating the return of the Crimea to Russia.
Painting “We are Russians, God is with us!” dedicated to the First World War. In clubs of deadly gases, Russian soldiers and officers, not having gas masks, go on the attack. “What does “enlightened” Europe bring us? - the periodical press of the early twentieth century asked, - Poison gases and batons to finish off Russian soldiers. Cultural barbarians!” Of course, this is the history of the First World War, but before the picture of Nesterenko you involuntarily ask yourself the question - are there any similarities between those events and today?
The theme of history in the artist's work is closely connected with spiritual painting. He recreated the colossal murals of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, painted many churches in Russia and abroad. On the occasion of the 1000th anniversary of Russian monasticism on Mount Athos, Vasily Nesterenko painted the church of the Holy Great Martyr and Healer Panteleimon. Numerous sketches and murals on cardboard, a whole series of works on spiritual subjects will also be presented in the Manezh exposition.
Landscape painting by Nesterenko is an attempt to convey sensations that are beyond painting by means of art: the sound of the surf in Kamchatka and the smell of the waves of the Black Sea, the transparency of Lake Baikal and the coldness of the Altai lakes, the heaviness of wet snow on the branches and the noise of falling leaves in the autumn forest. The works devoted to the nature of the Urals, Siberia and the Far East are united in a cycle called "On the Distant Frontiers". A series of works "Oh, Russian land!" - the anthem of Central Russia with its poetic nature, temples and monasteries.
Among the heroes of Vasily Nesterenko's portrait works are both characters of past eras and heroes of our time. Historical portraits of Prince Pozharsky, Ivan Susanin, Peter the Great, Catherine's associates, Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna and Patriarch Tikhon side by side with the images of our contemporaries. These are portraits of famous figures Russian culture and science, representatives of the clergy, women's and children's images.
Vasily Nesterenko's still lifes are also interesting. He came up with his own kind of historical still life: in addition to the subject plan, the composition on the canvas often includes paintings by old masters, elements of landscape, interior, and sometimes portraits of people.
With his works, the artist glorifies Russia, with its rich history, the height of spiritual thoughts and accomplishments, and majestic nature. With all his work, he reveals the inexhaustible possibilities of realistic art.

An exhibition opened in the Manege building in Moscow folk artist Vasily Nesterenko. On the first day, only the press and dignitaries were invited to the opening ceremony. The first came, the second turned out to be a very tight schedule.

Correspondents, photographers and editors wandered attentively among the huge number of paintings, peering at the images that the artist presented to them.

To criticize and praise him, in general, there is nothing. Except for the size of the paintings and their abundance. But, as one of the visitors said, Vasily Nesterenko obviously does not report paints on such canvases. I don’t know what the commentator had in mind, but it also seemed to me that the characters in the paintings were written far from being very clear. However, obviously, Nesterenko did not pursue the goal of repeating reality exactly the same. Apparently, his task is to convey a hint, and then let the viewer himself think out and finish everything in his mind - to the extent of his development.

The general focus of Nesterenko's paintings is religion. The artist understands by the term "art" fantasies on the themes of biblical characters. They never existed in reality, but Vasily Nesterenko is considered a painter. Painting and fiction are two concepts that are incompatible, but fantasy, including religious themes, is good because the strength of the visual image depends on the degree of the artist's immersion in the topic.


Vasily Nesterenko considers himself ill. Of course, in allegorical terms: “Art is like a disease. Many do not get infected. Many of those who become infected will recover sooner or later. And only a few "get sick" all their lives. So I am one of those who became infected for life. This phrase is from his interview with Naslednik magazine (No. 16).

The image is good, and through it one should understand the general message of the exhibition: the painter, who did not present a single painting work, but striking the audience with the scale of his immersion in religion. If you do not go into antagonistic phrases, then it would be more correct to call Vasily Nesterenko an icon painter. This follows from his work.

The political aspect of the exhibition is also extremely obvious, and it should also be considered inside out. Firstly, Ukrainian artist became a "people's artist" in Russia. Although at the same time it is not known whether the Russian people know that such high titles go to Ukrainians with a clear defeat in the rights of real folk - Russian artists?

However, if you look at this side of painting through the easel of politics, then here the Ukrainian roots turn inside out. Vasily Nesterenko's activity began in the USA: in November 1991, a personal exhibition was held at the Citi Bank Gallery in New York. Then, in March 1992 - a solo exhibition at the Ambassador Gallery in SOHO, New York. Then in April 1992 - an exhibition in the building of the National Westminster Bank, New York.

As a result, the real Ukrainian and future People's Artist of Russia was admitted to the American League in the same year. Professional Artists. Then the continuation of exhibitions in the USA, after the abundance of which there is no doubt that this country has done too much for Vasily Nesterenko to be considered his stepmother.

The United States has become a godfather for the future great artist. Today there is a lot of gossip on the topic of recruitment, so american period in the life of Vasily Nesterenko, he very frankly signals to society that the US special services fell in love with the Ukrainian because he brought them Russian pictorial culture, in which he reflected Greek and Jewish religious motives.

Such cosmopolitanism ended up closing in on the monument of victorious democracy: the US democracy victorious in the USSR. We are talking about the Cathedral of Christ the Savior. In February 1995, having returned from the USA, he was already titled and recognized by everyone Western World the future People's Artist of Russia began work on sketches of murals in the Cathedral of Christ the Savior.

According to Senka and a hat: in 1995 Vasily Nesterenko became a member of the Moscow Union of Artists. Then in 1996 - 1997 he had a solo exhibition at the Mercer Gallery, New York. After another portion of insinuations from the United States, Vasily Nesterenko immediately got to the Kremlin, where his personal exhibition was held at the Administration of the President of the Russian Federation. Boris Yeltsin, a slave of the United States and the lowest slave of Israel, was then the President of Russia.

Thus, God himself took Vasily Nesterenko away from real painting. He never painted Russian landscapes or Russian portraits. On the other hand, the walls of the Manezh caved in under huge panels with images of saints, clearly demonstrating that Vasily Nesterenko is really sick of art, but he is sick of it in the square - through splitting into religion.

Hence the recognition: 1999 - Honored Artist of the Russian Federation; 2000 - Order of Sergius of Radonezh II degree Russian Orthodox Church for murals in the Cathedral of Christ the Savior; 2003 - Patriarchal Diploma for the creation of new murals in the Assumption Cathedral in Dmitrov; 2004 - People's Artist of the Russian Federation; 2004 - Order of Andrei Rublev III degree from the Moscow Patriarchate.

As a response message to the US intelligence services, which gave such an amazing start to the picturesque iconography of Vasily Nesterenko, the Russian intelligence services were marked by alternativeness: 2010 - FSB Prize in the Fine Arts nomination.

The ability to hang out for the artist is above all. But now Vasily Nesterenko has clearly fallen out of the cage. Some associate the beginning of his descent with the congestion of his canvases with a religious theme. In particular, the Jews are extremely negative about the fact that the title of “People's Artist”, although it went to one of them, is frankly not according to the modern trend. Not a single rabbi was present at the opening of the exhibition.

Others attribute problems to the fact that they see Vasily Nesterenko as a candidate for the post of head of the Russian Academy of Arts, where Zurab Tsereteli, an equally successful artist, is currently present. If so, then soon we will witness a behind-the-scenes fight between a Ukrainian and a Georgian for another post in a Russian educational institution.

The fact that the clouds over the icons of Vasily Nesterenko began to thicken was shown by the opening of the exhibition, which was not attended by high officials, and even the Minister of Culture did not come to fix the significance of the figure of the people's artist. This frank spitting of power towards outstanding religious paintings was successfully dampened by the abundance of priests and various hierarchs of the Church. But also - everything is low, low ...

In the exhibition hall "Chekhov's House" on Malaya Dmitrovka, large-scale paintings by the People's Artist of the Russian Federation, Academician of the Russian Academy of Arts Vasily Nesterenko, made by him following the results of a creative trip to the Syrian Arab Republic, will be exhibited.
The exhibition is called "Syrian Land" and is special among the events held by the Moscow State art gallery Vasily Nesterenko. This exhibition is about the war. About the war that recently took place in Syria and where our soldiers are still doing their hard service.
Vasily Nesterenko received a unique opportunity to learn about this war not from the material brought in and not from the words of people who had been there, but to see everything with his own eyes. During the time that was given to him by the Ministry of Defense, he managed to visit the liberated cities, where peaceful life is just beginning to improve and where people are returning, to live in garrisons with our military, to feel their difficult everyday life. He was able to persuade the command to allow him to participate in the flight to the distant garrison, which was located directly on the border with ISIS positions and where fighting. It was there that the idea of ​​the central painting of this exhibition “Letter to Enemies of Russia” was born. This picture reminds us of famous painting I.E. Repin “The Cossacks write a letter Turkish sultan». Different time, different characters, but Russia's enemies are still the same. And they are not getting smaller. And as in old days representatives of all the peoples of our country are fighting with them.
The artist also visited the pearl of the East - the long-suffering Palmyra. This barbarously destroyed ancient city will appear before the viewer in the triptych "Syrian Land". We will see what happened to the ancient policy and what the bandits turned into a new one modern city built nearby.
In addition to these monumental canvases, the exhibition will feature other works by the master, written as a result of the impressions received as a result of this dangerous but interesting business trip.
