Section of Russian art the first half of the XIX — early twentieth century opens lithograph "Borovitskaya tower of the Moscow Kremlin" (1843), a French master, Andre Durand. In 1839, Andre Duran, a French painter, draughtsman, lithographer and outstanding master species of the genre, at the expense of the well-known philanthropist Anatoly Demidov took a trip to Russian cities, during which he completed many drawings from life, sketching out all the fun that was found for him in a way. Anatoly Demidov financed the trip, the preparation of the lithographs, which lasted almost ten years, and also the edition of an album of lithographs entitled "Picturesque and archaeological voyage to Russia, undertaken in 1839 under the leadership of Anatole Demidov", which includes our sheet. The album, which includes 100 works, published in 1849 (source: museum.ru).

1860-ми years experts have dated the portrait to the "Sleep (Nabokov)", performed outstanding (note, so say the experts and we along with them) by the Russian painter and graphic artist Vasily Petrovich Vereshchagin. In the history of Russian painting famous Vereshagina had a few — members of the same family (from which derives our present author) and namesakes. Vasily Petrovich Vereshchagin during his studies at the Imperial Academy of arts was awarded two gold medals received at the end of the course the title of class artist of the first degree and the right to pensioner's trip abroad; after six years in Europe as a pensioner IAH on the return from-за the borders because of the "wonderful works" have received from the Imperial Academy of arts pensioner's content for another five years of work in Russia. Later, passing the title of academician, was awarded the title of Professor and for many years taught at the Imperial Academy of arts. The figure shows the classmate of the artist at the Academy and the future academician of architecture N. Vladimir Nabokov. Vereshchagin chose difficult to perform view and brilliantly fulfilled this little drawing.

the Next section work — Tushev figure Alexander Nikolayevich Benois "Philip, Duke of Orleans" (1905-1906), made from the engraving of Claude Auguste Berea (Claude-Auguste Berey, 1660-1730) "Philippe de France, Duc d'orléans. Frere unique du Roy" (1697). According to the expert, the work of artists working for French fashion magazines of the late seventeenth — beginning of the eighteenth century, was well known and loved by Alexander Benois, who wrote that the works of the masters, depicting "in a series of craft-тонких engravings intimate life of Versailles yard... priceless for the history of life and wear". In 1905-1907 A. Benoit worked a lot in the French libraries, for example in the library of Versailles, with a large collection of engraved costumes. Obviously, at this time was made, and our drawing, which, together with other materials the artist used when working on historical research and in the design of the performances. However (experts emphasize) drawings "have all the hallmarks of the author's manner of A. Benois. <...> Filled with prints, they, of course, represent the author's interpretation of the source. The artist enlivens the printing equipment, returning a fresh feeling of the original image. The nature of the transformation of the source allows to understand the features the formation of the plastic language of graphics A. Benoit, his amazing, distinctive drawing style rooted in the art of past epochs, keeping the "echo elapsed time"".

the Following two works, without exaggeration, the great Russian designers present the brilliant era of theatrical graphics of the early twentieth century. Sketch for the costume of giant Fasold to the Opera by R. Wagner "das Rheingold" (1905) was performed Alexander Yakovlevich Golovin for the production of the Mariinsky theatre in Saint-Петербурге. A little later, in the mid 1910-х years, for the same theater Konstantin Alexeevich Korovin created the sketch of the costume of a man in Oriental clothes to the Opera after A. S. Taneyev "Blizzard".

Quite a large period 1910-30-ми years, expert dates the painting "monastery walls" Vladimir N. Aralova, a disciple of A. E. Arkhipov and A. Vasnetsov. The artist vividly and deeply interested in the Russian middle Ages, its architecture, its people, wrote a few paintings with views of Moscow of the XVII century, and obviously the work that went into our catalog, can be considered as another embodiment of sincere dedication to master this most interesting period of Russian history.

Works of Russian artists 1920-50-х years came up with the following directory partition.

it Opens with "Atlantis", sheet VII of the album autolithography Konstantin Fedorovich Bogaevsky "Autolithographies : Twenty drawings executed on stone by the author", released in 1923. Recognizable style Bogayevsky was similar aesthetic principles of the style of symbolism. In most of his paintings and drawings depict the types of Cimmeria in the Eastern part of Crimea, however they give the impression of a fictional, unreal scenery, as if existing outside of time. To this end, he deliberately delivered composition from accidental and momentary (e.g., variable lighting), was chosen, as a rule, low point, which was made on an epic scale. According to the artist, he wanted to create "another, fantastic world." And this makes his works with prose of Alexander green, equally fantastic, equally filled with romance and power descriptions and images.

Canvas "April" (1923-1924 (?)) Nikolai Yakovlevich Belyanina — wonderful sample of the landscape of the artist. Belyanin received a solid art education (he studied at the drawing school of Karelin A. O. in Nizhny Novgorod; at the Kazan art school (1906-1912), G. A. Medvedev, N. I. Feshin, P. Benkov; in St. Petersburg (Petrograd): the Higher art school of painting, sculpture and architecture under the Imperial Academy of arts (1912-1916) P. E. Myasoedova, V. V. Belyaev, in the workshop of N. N. Dubovsky (from 1914), State free art educational workshops (1921-1922) A. A. Rylova), five have won on the battlefields of the First world and the Civil war (1916-1921), in 1923-м arrived in Moscow and from that time devoted himself entirely to art. Traveled the country, worked, written about, exhibited and taught. Landscapes Belyanina are stored in many museums around the country (you can see in the state catalogue of the Russian Federation), and our work is very adequately represents his work.

the Author of the canvas "Landscape with cows" (1939) Mikhail Nikitich (Mikael-candidate of economic science) of Avetov born in the East, inTurkmenistan, and a large part of his work (despite the early move, study and life in Moscow) was somehow imbued with the spirit of the East. His Central Asian canvases as if bleached by the sun, but the landscapes of the middle band, which he masterfully wrote (and the scenery that is), — is saturated with color, bright colors of his rich palette.

In 1953 created delicate watercolour "Rider hat with black feather" Artur Vladimirovich Fonvizin (please read about it on AI: "artist of the week: Arthur Fonvizin"). A mystical legend, described in his memoirs, says that in childhood he long, almost seven years, did not speak, was very closed in itself. But all that changed overnight: one day the father took the child to the circus Ciniselli, and there, amid a strong shock, the boy was an emotional breakthrough. So all these horsewoman, the horses, tsirkachka — is experiencing from childhood into adulthood has turned into a favorite motif. But a grown wizard, working on sheets of watercolors, uses professional knowledge and skills and solves complex and diverse artistic tasks. "the Artist spends a lot of time at rehearsals in the circus, at the higher school of riding. These impressions... are synthesized in one of the largest watercolor series — series “Circus”. The artist again and again, drawn to one of his favorite topics — rider on a horse. For her Fonvizin finds not only many provisions of the rider and horse, with the new color scheme — is each time a new image, which creates an active creative will of the artist, reinterpreted the world in three-dimensional forms" (Galina Zaganska. Artur Vladimirovich Fonvizin. — Moscow : Soviet artist, 1970. C. 20).

"...the most important place in the works of Fonvizin takes his famous rider. How many sheets on this subject was written by the master, counting is unlikely. It is known that this issue has occupied the artist's life. His tsirkachka on horses, usually depicted outside of the specific context — for example, in a circus arena — and written conditional on a colored background or on a white sheet of paper, highlighted a little colored water. This incredible Suite is sparkling improvisatory gift of the artist. It would seem, well how many times can you write, without repeating, female figure sitting astride a horse? But the artist's imagination knows no boundaries: the rider is sitting on horses, that is, dressed in tights, the tutu, and then all half-naked! And the horses — a variety of suits in colorful cloths — are, then trotting, then it is important paced full of grace and elegance!" (Valery Silaev. A unique artist // Artur Fonvizin. Watercolor / Album-каталог. — M. : Virtual gallery, 2019. )

a Small essay "New Light" (mid 1950-х) landscapes Rostislav Nikolayevich Barto returns us to the Crimea, on a series of types which the artist worked in 1957-1958.

The largest and the favorite of many of our members section of the directory — the works of the sixties.

Watercolor "Perioptic" (1960-1961), the expert notes, "unique and rare early work of the famous Moscow artist-нонконформиста Nicholas Evgenyevich Vechtomova, included in the cosmogonic cycle of things "one Million years BC". It is written in the traditionalperiod of creativity Vechtomova complex writing style, with interesting, invented "scientific-фантастическим" story and a kind of philosophical view and attitude of the author to the Universe, the Universe".

Not for power, not for quality
Gold of your hair
Heart at once one day completely
From the other came off.
I love you the most —
All the sweeter still close,
Which, called me Oksana,
were winds in the spring.
Nikolai Aseev (source: izbrannoe.com)

Hello sunshine, my light,
blue with shadow.
Have love one answer —
Hello, Xenia.
...Hello, lovely rose and color
forget-me-not sweetheart. Always my advice to you
to take me from Sviblova.
Anatoly Zverev (source: izbrannoe.com)

"She's like the virgin Mary, and mother, and wife, and the daughter" (source: izbrannoe.com). Anatoly Zverev drew and wrote probably hundreds of portraits of this amazing woman. The widow of the great poet Nikolai Aseev, one of the "muses of Russian futurism" and Oksana M. Aseeva and Zvereva were separated by decades, but each time the artist's hand took sincere affection and love. In his eyes, she was always young, and it is on our drawing "untitled (Portrait of M. Aseeva)" (1967).

And another female portrait in the directory — pastel paintings "untitled (portrait of rose)" Igor V. Voroshilov. Fantastic, as always from the artist, women's way — easy, graceful, direct, and very touching.

Undated graphic "Animals" Valentina E. Kropiwnicki extremely attractive. In watercolors, colored pencil drawings, in dushevyh compositions and linocuts, in the forest, in the village, on the shore of a pond, marsh, river... the artist drew them quiet wise philosophers. Our thing is more emotional than and not quite normal, and interesting.

Oil, "untitled (Composition with white piece)" (1970) Elia Mikhailovich Belyutin's recognizable from the first glance: almost half meter work, strongly elongated in height, large vertical piece in the center of the composition, laconic, almost dichroic colour paintings, the use of prozharivaniya — all characteristic features of the author's manner of the artist 1970-х years.

In the same 1970, made cardboard "untitled (Composition with figure in yellow tones)" Vladislav Konstantinovich Zubarev. The proximity of teacher and student, of Ely bielutin and Vladislav Zubarev, very interesting. The same elongated vertical composition, well defined figure, but if belyutinskoy picture quite apply the concepts of restraint and a kind of elegance, the work of Zubarev sharper, the messy, open and direct in expressing emotions. "After meeting with Velutinum big part of my life Zubarev took place in Studio "New reality". He divided his life into two unequal parts — before and after a meeting with the Teacher. 1970-е years Zubareva became a transitional period. At this time it is not just an established artist. He is rapidly gaining the theoretical capacity. <...> His works of the period belyutinskoy studios (up to 1977) full experimental excitement. It is a dense, richly designed in color, passionate and rational at the same time painting" (source:ru.wikipedia.org).

Working in mixed media "untitled (Composition)" (1974) Peter Ivanovich Belenok made with ink on photo paper in the style which the author jokingly referred to the panic of realism. While no mysticism, but rather the stress of being surrounded by impassable cliffs black people (and human figures, the artist cut from sports magazines because there put pictures of athletes in the moments of highest tension or, as in our case, the concentration of power) feels fear, insecurity, decides how to take the next step. But in our work yet, "cosmic evil" of the bunch of incomprehensible evil energy that threatens to figures in later compositions, so in our things possibility and probability of overcoming fear. In General, the eyes are afraid, and hands (in this case, legs) are doing, walking the streets, out of the dark cleft. We empathize with the character and root for him!

tolevymi Thin lines Vadim Abramovich Siddur created the image of the "Goddess" (1978), is similar to the stone Paleolithic Venus figurines: head with a thin face, huge sad eyes of the Madonna and waving in the wind hair is crowned by a rather heavy figure, in the characteristic style of the ancient carved statues. Head of a man resembling what-то the old Testament character, only emphasizes the timelessness of sidorovskoe beauty.

a Strikingly beautiful and full of meaning small undated work in the author's technique — "Vladimir mother of God" Edward L. Zelenina.

Author's genre in its purest form — draw "Jack "Marc Chagall"" (2013) Vladimir Nikolaevich Nemukhin. Large and the critical layer works V. N. Nemukhin — Hommage, dedication, and more specifically, the embodiment of images of significant artists, poets, writers, friends, drawings, sculptures. And jacks — one of the key figures of the author's style.

To a later generation of the masters of any other art, the seventies, is the author of midsize minimalist painting "Composition. Improvisation No. 2" (2003) Leningrad Leonid Konstantinovich Borisov the Artist "in pure geometrical abstraction without the usual for Leningrad underground philosophical connotations. He is interested in geometric form, the combination of the two-трех forms itself... <...> the Delicacy and refinement of color solutions, the location of the shapes on the canvas allow for the utmost reticence to achieve a convincing effect" (Gurevich. The artists of the Leningrad underground. Biographical dictionary. — SPb.: Art-СПб, 2007. P.26).

Completes a section dedication to Kazimir Malevich — large canvas, "song on the square" (2019) Sergei Mikhailovich Bordachev made by the sketch of the mid-1980-х. In the work Bordacheva the influence of Malevich and the first Russian avant-garde in General is pretty bizarre — from as if recognizable abstract forms and seems to be quotes (note the highlighted words: they @key mdas) to the subtle allusions to the style of avant-garde artists beginning of the century. We can say that the image of the artist is born in an atmosphere saturated with ideas of Malevich and the first Russian avant-garde, they seem to absorbthis fresh air, but there is independent, with their own faces and characters.

Complete the story of the catalog traditionally works contemporary artists.

Oil on paper "Wind" (2002), the modern artist Lucy Raven — beautiful, elegant composition and a very noble color the landscape.

In 2010 written by a wonderful canvas "Together with a cat" Alexander Vladimirovich Ishin. The artist's characters are simple, naive and gullible, the author admires them, and we followed him, admire and trust them. What could be more important?

To a large series of works executed in tempera on plywood tablets, includes the work "untitled (still life with a rose)" Ani Acorn.

Large canvas "the Fight" (2013) Natalia Igorevna Nesterova. We removed eye considered finely balanced composition of the canvas, but what we see, makes an ambivalent impression. On the one hand, we feel the force of the blows, seeing the downed figure and aggressive posture of those who cling to the legs. On the other — figures as if consisting of one eye, complicated with a flashing light and seemingly simple (but actually quite difficult) coloring picture create a feeling of illusiveness of what is happening. Combine these two views of our perception — physical and emotional — eyes, which consist of the figures: they are harder to get hits, but they are harder to beat. A strange and very emotional thing.

perhaps the bright, airy and atmospheric work directory — meter almost acrylic "Marina" (2017) Konstantin A. Batynkov. The thing is absolutely recognizable, but at the same time is not overloaded by a military entourage. Sea it almost merges with the sky in the clouds circling helicopters and seagulls, and where-то next to them float and smoke tubes ships. Space, power, fresh breeze — as always the author!

"the Rink on Chistye Prudy" (2019) of Faith Andreevna the Elnitskaya. Ah, this rink! Playing music, burning lanterns, a pair circling. Today, as a century ago, there are Dating and inspired sounds: "Lyuda, let's do a circle!"

the Only real photographic lot catalog — a great song "In anticipation of jazz" (2019) Alexander Leonidovich Alyakrinsky — interesting, decorative and interior.
