How much summer, sea and cozy summer in the paintings of the artist Sergei Sviridov!

Artist Sergey Alekseevich Sviridov was born in 1964 in Simferopol, studied at the secondary art school. After serving in the army, Sergei Alekseevich moved to Moscow and entered the Moscow Academic Art Institute named after V.I. Surikov, studied in the studio of the artist A.E. Sukhinin.

Sviridov writes his native Crimea with great pleasure: mountain scenery, cozy shady streets, flowering gardens, still lifes and the most important beauty of Crimea - the sea.

The sea has its own attractive great power. Especially in south sea. This is the endless distance, and the power of the elements, and the romance of the southern night, and the great sad hope for happiness.

Bright colors of nature, salty gentle wind, emerald transparency of water and seagulls soaring in the azure sky. There is no such Crimea and such a sea as in Sviridov's paintings. But they certainly were. 40-50 years ago.

And these are not just landscapes ... There is not only beauty and authenticity. It's a dream.

It was by the sea

Igor Severyanin

It was by the sea, where openwork foam,

Where the city crew is rare ...

The queen played - in the tower of the castle - Chopin,

And, listening to Chopin, fell in love with her page.

Everything was very simple, everything was very nice:

The queen asked to cut the pomegranate,

And she gave half, and exhausted the page,

And the page fell in love, all in the motives of sonatas.

And then gave up, gave up thunderously,

Until sunrise, the lady slept like a slave ...

It was by the sea, where the wave is turquoise,

Where is the openwork foam and the sonata of the page.

The article was prepared based on the materials.

The nature of the Crimea served as a source of creative inspiration for many masters of fine arts. It seems that not one of the artists who have been here, from the 18th century to the present day, has remained indifferent to the peculiar beauty of the “noon land”. For example, beauty Gurzuf. The exoticism of the south combined with the pathos of the steppe expanse of the western plains and with the solemnly severe pathos of the mountain range east coast present a truly grandiose panorama.

Each of the artists working in Crimea , managed to see in him something of his own, cherished, that found a response in the soul. The works of these authors have become a kind of “bridge” that connects the viewer with the Crimean landscape, sometimes completely unknown to him, but awakening in him feelings and experiences associated with the indestructible power of man’s love for nature.

For some landscape painters, work in the Crimea was episodic, but for the work of three, who long time lived or systematically wrote here, the Crimean nature had the most immediate and profound impact.

After the accession in 1783 of the Crimean peninsula to Russian state artists rushed here to capture the unusual southern landscapes and views of intensively built cities.

In 1820 A.S. visited the beautiful shores of Taurida. Pushkin, who enthusiastically sang the nature of these places in his poetic works. In the 1820s, the Polish poet Adam Mickiewicz traveled here, creating a wonderful poetic cycle "Crimean Sonnets". This aroused even greater interest in the Crimea among artists.

Throughout the 19th century, representatives of various artistic movements worked in Crimea, and Crimean nature received a very diverse reflection in their work.

A.I. Meshchersky managed to vividly express the romantic beginning of his Crimean landscape. The spectacular state of the blue sky against the background of the rocks is conveyed in warm colors along with old poplars, the tops of which are illuminated by the light of the sun's rays.

"Crimean landscape" I. Shishkin

The largest representative of the Russian realistic landscape I.I. Shishkin, who visited Yalta in 1879, extraordinary view highlands prompted the creation of a series of drawings and prints. In the painting “Crimean Landscape”, he masterfully depicted a forest path leading to the house, among centuries-old Crimean trees.

A well-known master of lighting effects in painting A.I. Kuindzhi acquired in 1886 a small plot of land in the Simeiz region. Here, in the summer, he painted sketches, trying to capture the whimsical play of colors on restless water, to convey solar or moonlight. Laconically painted his landscape "Cloud".

The author skillfully depicted the moment when the pale pink light rising sun forms cumulus clouds over the blue stripe of the sea. The etude "Sea" is extremely generalized. Quiet, gentle sea and calls to plunge into the morning water.

Many amazing paintings were painted in the Crimea by the master I.K. Aivozovsky. It makes no sense to exhibit his masterpieces here again and again. It is worth noting his students, who turned to the traditional themes and methods of art of the venerable artist and at the same time showed their creative individuality. These include the artist A.I. Fessler, who lived in Feodosia for more than fifty years. He is the author of many deeply poetic views of the coastal cities of the Crimea.

A.I. Fressler. "Gurzuf".

In the painting "Gurzuf" he resorts to the romanticization of the landscape image in the spirit of Aivozovsky's painting. All components of the landscape serve to express the early morning. The artist's style of writing is sharp, with bright color contrasts, well conveys the mood of this cozy town bird's-eye.

Another native of Feodosia, L.F. Lagorio constantly lived in St. Petersburg, but visited his homeland almost every year. He enthusiastically sang in his marinas the beauty Black Sea coast, including Gurzuf.

Artist E.Ya. Magdesyan sought to emphasize the diversity of Crimean motifs in his paintings. In his " Seascape The harsh solidity of the rocks is perfectly conveyed against the background of the restless movement of the waves. The blue and blue tones of this canvas reproduce the special transparency of the air and the unsteadiness of light water with a greenish tint.

"Seascape"

Naval officer A.V. Ganzen as a child, in the house of his grandfather I.K. Aivozovsky, imbued with a love for art and was seriously fond of marine painting. In the Crimean landscapes, he revealed the greatness of the sea element, while maintaining the remarkable subtlety of the natural look and introducing lyrical coloring into the artistic image.

"Moon rise"

Artist K.F. Bogaevsky was also born and lived in Feodosia. His first encounter with art took place in the workshop of Aivozovsky, and in 1897 he graduated from the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts, where he studied with Kuindzhi. “No matter how much I wrote pictures about the Crimean sky, mountains, sea, Crimean nature gave me more and more new themes for my works,” Bogaevsky claimed. Here are his paintings Old Crimea”, “Feodosia”, “Evening by the Sea” and the Crimean landscape. The last one, "Crimean View", in my opinion, is a complete masterpiece of the play of colors and colors.

"Old Crimea"

"Feodosia"

"Evening by the sea"

"Crimean view"

Ancient Cimmeria served as a source of creativity for Bogaevsky's contemporary, poet and artist M.A. Voloshin. Each of his works is solved in a certain color key, expressively conveying the nature of the depicted motif. And in each of them, in the smooth rhythm of lines and color spots, the author gives the viewer the opportunity to feel the world of beauty that nature gives to man. His work "In the vicinity of Koktebel" is characteristic.

Around Koktebel

Academician of battle painting N.S. Samokish lived in Simferopol during the Soviet period of creativity. In 1917-1921, while undergoing treatment in Evpatoria, he enthusiastically painted cozy courtyards shaded by tree leaves, market squares, old mansions and dachas. In these sketches, the artist's brilliant pictorial gift was revealed. In his work “Evening in the Crimea”, he skillfully depicted the illumination of peasant life, a rich palette of blue, yellow, white and green colors.

"Evening in the Crimea"

Widely known Crimean landscapes K.A. Korovin, a prominent representative of the Moscow Union of Russian Artists. In 1911, he built a dacha-workshop in Gurzuf, where he liked to write directly from the balcony opening great views south coast mountains and sea. Korovin subtly felt nature, the eternal play of light and shadow, giving the whole environment a feeling of trepidation, mobility. His painting "Gurzuf" confirms this.

Sonority color palette Crimean nature revealed by Korovin in his next landscape. There is a stormy dynamics of colors, life, bright sun. This was achieved by the virtuoso impressionistic style of painting, which the master uses in his work.

"Balcony in the Crimea"

Landscape, as an independent genre, occupies a place of honor in fine arts. It enables craftsmen working in this area to create an artistic image of their native land with great emotional expressiveness.

Here are the works of talented artists of different eras and generations, which form the basis of the collections of paintings and drawings in art museums And art galleries Simferopol, Feodosia, Sevastopol and Alupka.
