Contemporaries compared his work with antique statues, and indeed, the masterpieces of Antonio Canova differ extraordinary elegance, smooth shapes and impeccable composition. He achieved unprecedented fame, carried out orders for Pope Pius VII, was almost a court sculptor at the court of Napoleon I. when painting classicism was dominated by David, the sculpture was not equal to Antonio Canova.

Venetian Senator Giovanni Faliero, to whom the boy entered the service, allowed the young man to study sculpture, to study ancient art. In 1775, the eighteen-year-old Canova created his first significant work “Orpheus and Eurydice”. It was a resounding success, and Antonio Canova was able to open his own Studio in Venice.

In 1779, on the order of the Venetian patrician, the sculptural group “Daedalus and Icarus”was born. This is the first work in which Canova used X-shaped composition. The axis of symmetry passes through the center of the sculpture, but the figures of Icarus and Daedalus are deviated from each other. This technique the master used in the future.

In 1780, Antonio Canova moved to Rome, where he worked a lot, continuing to study the skills of ancient sculptors. In 1802 Canova received an offer to come to Paris to create a statue of Napoleon.

The sculptor spent the last years of his life at home in possano, near Bassano. The master died in Venice in 1822 and was buried in the mausoleum (which he designed) of the Cathedral of Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari.

Exhibition “Fernand Leger. Poetics of the Present “(6+)

June 20, 2018

June 6 at 16.00 in the exhibition hall of the Voronezh Regional Art Museum. I.N. Kramskoy within the framework of the VIII International Platonic Festival of Arts will be the grand opening of the exhibition “Fernand Leger. Poetics of our time. ”

The exposition of the exhibition “Fernand Leger. The poetics of modernity “will include more than 50 works of the artist from the collection of the State Museum of Fine Arts. A.S. Pushkin – a constant partner of the Platonov Festival.

The audience will have a unique opportunity to see the works of the French modernist, who have not left the museum for a long time – painting, graphics and decorative and applied arts.

Fernand Leger (1881-1955) – one of the great artists of the XX century, who along with Picasso and Braque stood at the origins of cubism. Like many of his contemporaries, he worked in several types of fine arts. He showed himself equally vividly in painting and graphics, he was interested in sculpture, ceramics, stained glass and trellis. The Pushkin Museum will show these different facets of the artist’s talent at the exhibition in Voronezh.

The core of the exposition is the picturesque works of Leger of the late 1940s – early 1950s. During this period, the picturesque manner of Leger is simplified as much as possible, acquires almost a posterior clarity and confidence. The canvas “Reading” (1949) is characterized by strong expressive lines, free arrangement of color planes. The heroine of the work “Woman with a bird on a red background” (1952) seemed to have disappeared from the poster of the post-war years, calling for a struggle for peace. In these portraits, the recognizable features of Nadezhda Petrovna Khodasevich-Leger (1904-1982), wife, pupil and faithful assistant to the artist appear, but at the same time they are generalized female images. A special place in the exposition is occupied by the chamber painting City with Birds (1953): the work of the brush is softer, the created image is more romantic. On the back there is the inscription “Amigo”: the artist presented his work to the memory of a friend – the Soviet writer Ilya Ehrenburg, a witness and participant of many events in the Paris art life of the 1910s-1950s.

The painter Fernand Leger worked in printed graphics, although it constitutes a small part of his vast heritage. The favorite technique of the master was lithography, mostly colored; but the artist tried his hand at woodcuts, in engraving with a dry needle and in aquatint.

In different years, Fernand Leger created carpet designs and tapestries. He sought to change the art and make his work accessible to all. Therefore, like Picasso, he worked with ceramics. At the exhibition you will see several samples of earthenware plates created in the 1960s at the ceramic plant in Salin-les-Bains in Franche-Comté.

Continuing the idea of ​​the artist about the accessibility of art, the exhibition will be complemented by two tactile models for blind and visually impaired people based on decorative reliefs. Color, an integral element of Leger’s art, will be displayed in tactile layouts, taking into account the needs of people with visual perception.

The State Museum of Fine Arts named after A.S. Pushkin is a museum complex possessing one of the largest art collections of foreign art in Russia, storing artifacts created by masters of different epochs – from Ancient Egypt and ancient Greece to the present day. Today, the museum’s collections have about 700,000 works. The pearl of the collection is one of the most famous in the world collections of works of French impressionists and post-impressionists.

Curator of the exhibition: Varvara Zamahaeva.

The cost of the full entrance ticket is 150 rubles.

June 14, 2018

June 4, 2018 in the department of literature on art of the Belgorod State Scientific Library opened an exhibition “Voronezh Front” (from the collection of the VGM named after I. Kramskoy).

The exhibition presents objective artistic documents of the true history of the Voronezh tragedy in the period from June 1942 to March 1943 by Moscow artists Vladimir Bogatkin and Vitaly Demidov.

Quick brush strokes, torn color spots – these circumstances required artists to make an exact and immediate decision in order to achieve a true and expressive picture. They can be compared with the diary entries of those years – steep, hasty, but best conveying the reality of the experience.

In 2008, Voronezh was awarded the honorary title “City of Military Glory”. This glory he deserved at the cost of terrible inhuman efforts and numerous victims. And who will say that out of all the numerous military “chronicles” of Voronezh, these little yellowed sheets of graphics are less significant and important? After all, they are made by front-line artists, witnesses of fierce and bloody battles for the city. At that time, they became chroniclers, and their scattered drawings now form in the history of the fate of the city that defeated the death.
