Today, May 27, at 18.00 in the Exhibition Hall of the House of Chekhov's "(St. Malaya Dmitrovka, 29, p. 4) opened the exhibition" Chemistry and life. IZOversiya ", organized by the gallery" G. T. OS "project" Museum schedules ».

display for the first time broadly representative of the original graphic works of six artists who created and maintain a high style in the illustration of the popular science magazine "Chemistry and Life" during 1960-1990-x. It also incidentally draws attention to the forty-five anniversary of the publication, and at the same time to the next chemist's Day (May 30). The exhibition will be presented only until the release IZOversii "Chemistry and Life", which "formalized" artists: Yuri Vashchenko (b. 1941), Basyrov Garif (1944-2004), Yuri Cooper (born 1940), Dmitry Lyon (1925-1993), Vladimir Lyubar (born 1944), Peter Perevezentsev (b. 1962) .

first published in April 1965 and existing until now the journal Chemistry and Life "immediately and permanently discovered his strong passion for IZOiskusstvu. Originating a spent Khrushchev's thaw, he is before the adjustment was a strange oasis wide and free scientific erudition and almost unregulated artistic and literary creativity. Created under the auspices of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR and intended for different social and age groups, the magazine is of equal interest to both students who offer exciting experiments and quizzes in the "Club of the young chemist, and for housewives who see" Home care "to learn how to deal with leftover or parquet.

Simultaneously, reports on the achievements of Western scientific thought cleverly "disguised" review of the problems of domestic economy, but interesting in the magazine's debut was marred by V. Pelevin failed (due to the vigilance of the Party Control) attempt to publish editorial under the guise of medical essays under the heading "Diseases and drugs" stories of Mikhail Bulgakov "Morphine" and "Star rash." Practical courses in English, French, German organic chemists for the neighbors in "Chemistry and life" with fantasy R. Bradbury, C. Lema, C. Bulychev, and she, in turn, punctuated all sorts of excursions into the history of art, from prehistoric cave paintings and ending with surreal revelations S. Daly and R. Magritte. In short, the magazine could find the recipe and the cultivation of the beds ready to have a snack in the form of pickled cucumbers, and enjoy the serene sleeping nude "Venus" by Giorgione.

But, undoubtedly, one of the major achievements publication has its unique decoration. Therefore, the main goal of the exhibition - to reveal how plastically "isomeric" about topical scientific journal was gradually could reveal IZOversiya. Well-recognized, but not banal, not alien to the ironic style, but it slips into a caricature of a variety of "izoversii" artists "Chemistry and Life" look like a bold graphic improvisation within strict though not always, but always scientific reasoning.

The exhibition is open to the public from May 28 to June 20, 2010, daily except Monday, from 12.00 to 19.00, admission free. Telephones: 694-28-19, 8-916-418-10-54, 8-905-778-01-47.
