Today at Solianke Moscow Gallery opens exhibition entitled «In Bukhara allowed snake», uniting the works of Soviet artists of the Stalin era, serving in Central Asia. Among them are such masters as Robert Falk , Alexander Volkov , Chuikov , , Nicholas Karakhan and many others. The exhibition is held within the forum of cultural intersections «Rosa world», which took place in Moscow for the third time, from 6 to 18 November.

works, which can be seen in the Gallery at Solianke were collected by one of the leading local curators Zelfira Tregulova. These 55 paintings and graphic works 1930-1950, which were established in Central Asia, and talk about it .. One room is the timetable in the other two - painting: bright, gravitating to the avant-garde and of decoration, and more intimate dates back to the traditions of Russian art schools, the development of Impressionism and the thin.

But this exhibition is not an anthology of art of Central Asia, it is rather a study of gaps monolithic totalitarian situation. One of the areas where art could develop, was Central Asia. This poor regions ukryl in his hot hands alternative art search, a slow time of the East darilo artists comfortable feeling of eternity.

What tells us carefully built Zelfira Tregulova exposure? The fact that the miracle of art always takes place in space, the inherent skill and solving their own problem, art is experiencing its creators, and engaging in aesthetic maintenance of the regime ceases to exist. The fact that the artist generally preferred to paint rather than deal with the regime, and that the artist needs a government and not vice versa. However, there is no doubt that without the freedom of art is not that dictatorship is destroying the art and in the dictates of the ideology of work as any dictate text becomes an instrument, sometimes not without a well-known advantages of plastic.

Our exhibition of artists of Stalin's era (the main body of works is in 1930 and 1940-E). The exception - the most recent work is slowly changing Paul Salzmann - to knock a decade abroad, 1953rd, the year of death of the tyrant. And the point to the ability of the pupil Filonov to honor the teachers in any mode and at any age. This exhibition emphasizes the exclusion vnepolozhennost artist outside world. The longer we looked at the exposure, the greater the erosion of exposed to stereotypes about the era and Soviet art. We see the highest pictorial culture of artists, which indiscriminately called «Soviet» or «master of socialist realism». The exhibition demonstrates the heterogeneity of the Soviet empire - part of party affiliation in the art of Central Asia is a form of artistic emigration.

With the market relevance of the same market success. But in the ideological relevance of the arts community is organized in the other location - the relevance of internal communications as a closed community. Central Asia has become because of their remoteness and the ethnographic specificities of the place of the secret life of art - beyond the power of ideology, the dominant style, turn totalitarian CX RSFSR. Artists have found a zone of freedom in a rigid situation, broken a lot of talent. Their art, shown Zelfira Tregulova can be considered the return of authenticity.
