I. K. Aivazovsky, national gallery of Armenia (Yerevan).

Ivan Konstantinovich Aivazovsky opened for Russian art genre Marina — seascape — and turned it into an important phenomenon in the visual arts of mid — in the second half of the XIX century.

Aivazovsky lived a life length of nearly a century. His career he began under the influence of German idealistic philosophy in the era of late romanticism and long remained faithful to this direction, oblivious to a fundamental change of aesthetic doctrine in the mid-nineteenth century. By the end of the XIX century Aivazovsky has once again become actual for many, being able to anticipate the search for artists-символистов.

In terms of communication Aivazovsky included prominent figures of Russian culture: K. P. Brullov, Mikhail Glinka, N. In. Gogol, Alexander Ivanov, later — P. M. Tretyakov, I. N. Kramskoy, I. E. Repin. Armenian boy from a provincial Feodosiya, having absorbed the Russian culture, became one of the brightest of its representatives.

during the life Aivazovsky participated in over 120 exhibitions, over 60 of which were solo. They were opened in Russia and in many cities of Europe and America. Aivazovsky was made an honorary member of the Amsterdam, Rome, Florence, Stuttgart, Paris Academy of arts. The Imperial Academy of arts in Saint-Петербурге found him an academician, and later a Professor of painting. In 1844 he was appointed Chief artist of the naval staff. The governments of Russia, France, Turkey and several other countries has repeatedly been awarded Aivazovsky with the orders of their States.

However loud his fame, a great many paintings, he created thanks to a Titanic performance, played with the artist a cruel joke. The audience never stopped loving Aivazovsky, but criticism, sated his works, turned away from the artist as from "legacy", did not meet the demands and dynamic of the twentieth century, putting on his works the label "salon and commercial." As a consequence — lack of large-scale exhibitions and fundamental research the art of the painter for many decades.

Tretyakov gallery decided to look at Aivazovsky-новому and to change the attitude towards its heritage, open to fans in his works new meanings, to bring down the snobbery in the attitude of the professional community. Aivazovsky appears the artist is not only sincere feelings, romantic emotions, but deep ideas and symbolic generalizations, the visionary, foresaw the disasters of the next century. It is important to introduce young viewers, not knowing Aivazovsky, idol of many generations, intrigued by the metaphysics of his works are similar to modern artists.

To solve these problems, the Tretyakov gallery for the first time carries in its branches a large-scale monographic exhibition of the master, not trying to collect as many works of Aivazovsky, but trying to imagine his work is the most significant and most high-quality works. A thorough selection: of the 6,000 written Aivazovsky paintings (for the artist) selected 120 paintings. In most of the Tretyakov gallery kept a relatively modest collection of Aivazovsky, from which the exhibition received 33 paintings and 9 drawings. Most works are concentrated in St-Петербурге: in the Russian Museum, the Central military-морском Museum, in suburban palaces (Peterhof, Pavlovsk, Tsarskoe Selo), with the remainder in the regional museums of Russia and in other countries. Anniversary, Aivazovsky was the occasion to show of these collections all the best in Moscow.

the Architecture of the exhibition, under a Maritime theme, solved "tacks": the viewer can follow zig-zag courses from section to section, which presents examples of the work of Aivazovsky-мариниста, painter, graphics. The exhibition is built on themes and motifs. Section "Sea Symphony" presents the state of the marine Aivazovsky — from calm to storm: the sea is calm, raging, in different lighting. Section "the Artist of the General naval staff" includes executed by order of the Emperor and the Navy Department the types of Russian coastal cities and ports, the image of the main naval battles of the Russian fleet. In Between Feodosiya and Petersburg presented a "land" landscapes Aivazovsky. Section "All the world he was small" brings together paintings by the artist created based on his travels in the Caucasus, Italy, Turkey and other countries. In "the Captive the secret of the universe" demonstrates the paintings on biblical subjects. The main emphasis in the exhibition is made on the most important paintings of the artist, such as "rainbow" (1873), Black sea (Black sea starts to play out the storm)" (1881, both — TG), "the Ninth wave" (1850) and the large-scale work in the exhibition "the Wave" (1889, both — timing). For the first time, so wholly and fully demonstrates the pictures of Aivazovsky — 55 sheets.

among the discoveries of the exhibition include submitted after the restoration of the big picture "on the coast of the Caucasus" (1885, state Tretyakov gallery), never previously exhibited.

To demonstrate the interests Aivazovsky-коллекционера, recreating the atmosphere of his Studio attracted additional material — exhibits from the ship's Fund of the Central military-морского Museum: telescope, steering wheel, floor star globe, models of ships.

the Documentary section of the exhibition includes portraits of the artist's family, photographs, archival materials. They illustrate the biography of Aivazovsky, characterizes him as a unique personality — benefactor, donor, patron, first honorary citizen of Feodosia, the key and strategic figures for the city and Crimea as a whole.

Surprise project — when entering the exhibition viewers are met by a video installation by modern artists of the group "Blue soup" that creates a "presence effect" in the waters of the Black sea.

Aivazovsky's paintings attract the viewer with emotion, the beauty of art, virtuosity and refinement of technical skill. His art is the theme, interpreted by many generations of artists and spectators: the interest in conveying the endless, infinite space, feeling the human face of the disaster. The wizard builds the song works so that creates a special magic: the viewer looks at the sea through the eyes of the artist inside the painting, feels immersed in the image, experiencing the emotions of the participant's actions are akin to modern 3D-эффекту.

the most Important quality of paintings by Aivazovsky, which captivates the viewer, is that the predominant optimistic attitude and faith in a positive outcome of the tragic events. Even in the paintings with the image of the most fearsome and destructive sea storms artist beam of light from the clouds, a rainbow, a flying bird or another part gives a dying ships and hope for salvation.
