ARTinvestment.RU   21 сентября 2016

In the gallery ARTSTORY until the end of October, opened the exhibition to the anniversary of the famous Moscow painter Victor Kalinin G.

the exhibition features approximately 50 large-format works of different years.

academician of the Russian Academy of arts, honored artist of Russia Viktor Kalinin entered the modern artistic process in the late 1960-х years and became one of the most famous representatives of the other branches of art, which was later called the art of the seventies.

"human nature — to inherit that disappears, but still remains inside. Vortex transforms gone with the wind of change. @Ndashто is, but what-то certainly is — is the structure of human memory." These lines of Victor Kalinin became the epigraph to the series of works on biblical topics, and they contain the key to the exhibition "Inherited the wind".

the Work of Viktor Kalinin has been heavily influenced by the traditions of ancient Byzantium. In Soviet times, he studied Byzantine art books, and today makes regular trips to Orthodox Athos to touch a "reified model of the ideal spiritual life", — as he calls the Athonite monastery. "I find inspiration, dissolving in a fabulous wealth of landscapes, architecture, frescos", — says Victor Kalinin.

the Exhibition "Inherited the wind" in the gallery ARTSTORY a retrospective is built on the principle of creativity shown in the development. Kalinin, like many other artists of his generation, had to part with the Soviet stereotypes, "to be retrained", to abandon the lessons of the academic school, and finally to gain their identity in the new reality.

Born Viktor Kalinin in 1946 in a large family of old believers in the Altai village Zalesovo. Not surprisingly, this centuries-old traditional culture and the Russian soil was the basis of his world view. Family, home, ancestral land forever became for the artist a source of inspiration. As written by the master himself, "I, yet not knowing how to read and often admired the beautiful miniatures from the book of Psalms and lives of saints, preserved in the library of my grandfather. The result of the Russian middle ages as the highest point of development of domestic art naturally came into my mind as what-то to a pain native".

Kalinin Later inspired the creativity of artists of the Silver age (especially Vrubel), and then severe style.

the artist's Works are in the collections of 35 museums, including the state Tretyakov gallery, state Russian Museum, Saratov art Museum named after Radishchev, the Dresden art gallery, the National gallery of Bratislava, Museum of Art, University of South Florida, contemporary art Museum of Cologne, and so forth.
