Recently I visited the next exhibition at the Krasnodar Art Museum, and today I will introduce you to the most memorable canvas of the famous painters painters.

The paintings are impressed with their color and monumentality. There is a canvas and full growth, like this "Portrait of Elizabeth Krasilshchikova" brushed by Valentin Serov, written in 1906. Go to the hall, you immediately see this beautiful woman with a graceful white dress with many bracelets.

Elizabeth is representative of a wealthy Moscow merchant family. This powerful woman owns a cotton mill and is strong-willed, having great success in society.

The portrait has a slightly matte-velvet color, which gives the charm to the face, and without a certain weight of the dress, while the sheen of the diamond is visible across the canvas. Looking at the photos, you seem to be transported into the past and feel the atmosphere of those moments.

In the work of Herman Fedorov, called "Woman in front of the mirror" (1922), everything is a bit different. I think you soon realize that the artist is sort of a painter.

The photo is bright, you can even see blush on the girl's cheek. True, his reflection in the mirror somewhat embarrasses me, his face features blurred, and it's hard to understand how he looks ...

I also like the Alexei Tkachev image, called "The First Steps" (1967). Unfortunately no more than 10 months, but he was standing with confidence and ready to step!

There is also a portrait of Fyodor Kovalenko (1918) by Nikolai Kharitonov, who in those years was called only the genius of painting from Mologa.

A close friend of Kharitonov and a well-known museum worker and gallery owner in southern Russia, Fedor Akimovitch Kovalenko, invited the teacher to take part in a painting exhibition by the Academy of the Arts. Moments later Nikolai Vasilyevich painted his own portrait of Kovalenko.

His only compassion was that he was forced to go to America, where he obtained citizenship and continued to work as a free artist. At the beginning of the last century, his name was mentioned among famous American portrait painters very often, as he was a disciple of Repin himself.

Today in the museum hall is very spacious and light. In addition to interesting paintings, one can also see old fireplaces with beautiful ornamental Dutch majolica.

Once in this room there was the office of Batyrbek Shardanov, the former owner of an old house, where the Kovalenko museum opened today.

And this painting belongs to Yuri Clover artist, called "Winter Evening" (late XIX century). The landscape is very realistic.

The artist seems to have a special tendency for the winter landscape, there are many paintings in the snow. But their people most often do not. Even in the fishing village is completely deserted.

In Alexander Kiselyov's paintings more beautiful. This canvas is called "Dacha in Crimea" (1906).

Then you and the girl, and the whole family of four-legged friends, and a strict lady. I really like when the picture is very realistic. Here and there the grass is faded, even the roof of the house looks like in reality: simple, without pathos and special ornaments.

We also saw the painting by Petr Konchalovsky "Still Life" (1916). But, indeed, creative people need the tools and attributes necessary for their favorite hobbies, and, of course, talent.

After the daughter of Peter Konchalovsky said:

Painting - it is life itself ... clearly the nature of things, because, seen through the eyes of a realist painter, animation, and if it is true art, it does not die, everything will disappear, except him!

And it's fun that art does not die. After all these years, we will also enjoy painting and see similar paintings. To imagine the author's intent, embodied on canvas, to create an extraordinary and original story, to learn the style and overall shades of color, all sorts of details ...

I really liked the museum, it was improved. Everywhere the beautiful ceilings are painted, the curtains are expensive, and the lighting is good.

In every room its design is spectacular, concrete style, decoration. Nothing hovered around the canvas. Everything can be considered quiet and without haste. In the middle - there are polished benches, if tired, you can always rest.

We saw many flowers still alive.

And here is a picture like this "Still Life with Scissors". The work of this artist Alexander Vasilyevich Kuprin.

Kuprin is known as one of the greatest masters of Russian art in the first half of the 20th century. He called the industrial landscape artist.

And this is life still from the brush of Ilya Mashkov, the brightest original artist of the 20th century, who leads a rather interesting and rich life filled with different impression.

In 1911, Ilya Ivanovich along with Peter Konchalovsky founded the art community "The Knave of Diamonds", which included many Moscow painters, tried to make a real revolution in art. They often oppose the traditions of academism and realism, proclaiming impressionistic ideas and Cubism.

Also I like this flower composition from Martiros Saryan brush. The canvas is called "Flowers" (1960). Bright water will draw your imagination. The past of life would not have passed.

In every museum hall there is something extraordinary and unique.

In this room, we saw a copy of a remarkable picture of Raphael Santi, called "Madonna on a chair." The canvas depicts the Virgin Mary with the Son of Christ in her arms and John the Baptist. Today the original canvas brush of Santi is at the Palatine Gallery in Florence.

You can see these paintings for hours: studying brush strokes, the smallest detail, evaluating light and shadow games.

Art interest is not lost. It looks like it's an ordinary everyday painting, like canvas Yuri Pimenov, but they also appeal to the creative and looking nature.

This painting is called "Flowers in the Fog" (1958).

Simple, but tasty. I was especially impressed by the fog. An interesting solution, is not it? Human figures seem to be behind some veils, live their lives and do not suspect anything ...

Walking through the museum halls, you understand how many paintings are still unexplored and unintelligible, unknown names so far.

There is a flood like this, which Alexei Gritsai describes in a painting called "Spring Flood on the Oka" (1985-1987).

There are earthquakes or fires, people are born and dead, married and divorced, and pictures live forever, because art never dies.
