Vasily Kirillovich non -readylo biography

All his work is dedicated to the people and the nature of his native Don and Kuban region. As migratory birds fly to their native lands, so Vasily Kirillovich always returned to the Salian steppes, where he grew up, where his father's house was. Here he, the son of a peasant, experienced both the joys and the hardships of peasant life. Here he formed as a man and an artist, here he received the powerful charge of creative energy that his art has been fed all his life.

Those who spent their childhood in the steppe remain submissive to her mysterious poetry for life. Vasily Kirillovich all the years lived was the faithful son of his homeland, he sang a place dear to his heart in excellent landscapes and paintings. He wrote landscapes of a pure steppe, with its coat and wormwood.

The steppe, awakening in the morning, is wrapped in fog with a slightly visible pink sun - and the steppe, opened from the heat, in the golden haze of the July heat. The first arable groove was written, a black ribbon, creeping behind a tractor leaving the horizon. The delicate shoots of young wheat, and widely spread out gold, harsh bread, gently, swaying under a running breeze, are written.

Night landscapes with flickering lights of field camps were written. In addition to images of the nature of native southern places, he created many landscapes of central Russia, as well as all those countries where he had a chance to visit. Possessing enormous experience and skill, tirelessly working on all trips, he brought a lot of excellent studies, surprisingly accurately conveying the characteristics of nature and the color of the countries that he saw.

Vasily Kirillovich possessed the gift of a subtle colorist, and the color harmony of his work is simultaneously exquisite in laconicly truthful. But, no matter how Vasily Kirillovich loved nature, no matter how good his landscapes are, the main thing in his work was always a man - a man of labor, not fingering hands working on earth. The unity of the poetry of nature and the courageous beauty of people of labor is the general inner meaning of the paintings of Vasily Kirillovich.

He endlessly loved life, light, the sun, and therefore, in most of his paintings, the action takes place in the open air. And he loved people. People in his paintings are healthy, strong, so different and characteristic, masterfully painted and written, live in a full -blooded life. They are organically related to the environment and constitute a single whole with it. Following the covenants of V.

Surikov, the artist believed that in nature everything is in reflexes, everything is connected by a single color, and he sought such an impression. For each picture, he collected many necessary studies, which made it possible to uniquely accurately and colorfully beautifully solve each canvas. Studies were very diverse. From small ones, elegant, subtle, sometimes very fast, written, to images of heads and figures in full size.

Many of them, vigorously and powerfully protruded, witty, turned into independent portraits with high artistic value. In his paintings, Vasily Kirillovich is always truthful and sincere. Whatever topic he takes - work, or rest, holiday, or everyday life, everything is simple and vital for him, widely and beautifully written. Through all the work of Vasily Kirillovich, a historical and revolutionary theme passes the red thread.

Still studying at the institute, he wrote several sketches dedicated to the Cossacks - red partisans. And, in the future, two large capital kars are distinguished among the works of this kind: “for Soviet power” and “red partisans”- the latter became a significant achievement of a wonderful artist. The type is very expressive and truthful in them, the racatra is lively, bright, and at the same time there are no obsessive exaggerations, everything is simple and clear.

The general color is targeted, organic and accurately expresses the internal psychological system of paintings, especially in the latter, where the sunlight, sliding at the horizon along the tops of the hills, emphasizes the freshness of the early morning and causes anxiously, nimble, poetic feeling. In the work of Vasily Kirillovich, one of the most important places is a portrait.

He did not write revealing portraits, did not write negative characters, he painted those who were pretty to him, who he liked, whom he respected and loved. At the same time, working on paintings and, performing studies for them, he wrote a lot of people interesting to him and many of these studies involuntarily turned into quickly, performed portraits. He wrote portraits in height, and any others, and on the open air, and in the room, and, as a genuine master in this genre, each time he solved the size, format and composition depending on the tasks that he set for himself.

For example, the “Lyubochka Postman”, sparkling the sun and a sweet girl’s smile, is written in growth and in the free air, and the portrait of N. Chernyshev, who is sitting in a stubborn pose with a cane in his hand, is in a strict, restrained gamut. Chuikov, looking at him, sighed and said: "Yes, the old man is going on the road." With these words, he very accurately expressed the great meaning of this portrait.Vasily Kirillovich created many portraits - cultural figures, artists, writers, artists, workers and collective farmers.

All of them are very different in the nature of the performance, but all of them are characterized by one thing - this is an isolated characteristic of the portrait, and the clarity of a picturesque solution. There are poetic portraits, but there are witty, almost grotesque. Speaking about the portraits of Vasily Kirillovich, I especially want to note one of the latter. This is a tragic portrait of the artist G.

Prokopinsky, written shortly before the end of the latter. The portrait is magnificent in every way. Its color is organic and harsh. The light sliding on the side, leaving the face in partial shade, as if speaks of a past life, a look, turned into himself and, as it were, evaluating this life, is dug and thoughtful. Hands, once active, gently, limp, are limp. This portrait in the depths of a psychological solution rises to the Rembrandt height and belongs to the best achievements of Soviet art.

The talent of Vasily Kirillovich is very harmonious, he was a true colorist and at the same time, an excellent draftsman. Even at the institute, his drawings were an example for everyone. Excellent, feeling the material, the specifics of coal and a graphite pencil, he created subtle, highly artistic works. Both tonal drawings, and light quick sketches were equally good to him.

He developed his work methods, but no matter how different his drawings were, he had one common feature - they were picturesque. Even in the most stingy sketches in terms of execution, almost linear, color and environment are always felt. These are drawings of the painter. In conclusion, I would like to say that Vasily Kirillovich lived the life of a true artist.

Everything was subordinated to creativity, the breadth and kindness of his nature did not prevent him from clearly organizing his work. He was very musical, and here the poetic structure of his soul was especially manifested. But, the main thing in his life was art and everyday work. As a robbed diamond becomes a sparkling diamond, and a talent polished by a libeous work becomes the miracle that delights us and calls for the better and bright.

Vasily Kirillovich with his whole life by the artist, creator and worker, who loved people, proved the justice of this. His art, good and bright, is poured with a spring fresh stream into the full -flowing river of our native Russian Soviet art. The author of the article Yu.
