The magic of each sketch at the exhibition "Etude, Sketch, Model" of the Russian Museum Automatic translate

Employees of the Russian Museum are completing work on the new exhibition, Etude, Sketch, Model, which will open on June 21, 2012. The main stage to the preparation of the exhibition is completed - the selection of works by famous Russian sculptors of the twentieth century.

The idea of ​​the exhibition is simple: to prove that not only the final work, but also everything that came before it has artistic value. Visitors will be able to see how much preliminary work the masters needed to do before entering the home stretch. Thousands of exercises, hundreds of sketches, dozens of models can precede even the smallest, not intricate sculpture. What can we say about the masterpieces of art!

Studying the "working forms" of plastics, you understand how much work and daily work is required from the creator in order to achieve perfection! On the example of such venerable creators as P. Trubetskoy (“Friends” - 1901, “Children” - 1900, “Portrait of Isaac Levitan” - 1899), A. Golubkina (“Swimmer” - 1886, “Slave” - 1903, “Fire” - 1900), A. Matveev (“Bather” - 1906, “Cupid” - 1905, “Girl with a towel” - 1916), Mukhina V. I. (“Worker and Collective Farm Girl” - 1937, “Bread” - 1937) and other Russian and Soviet sculptors, residents will be able to see the pangs of the birth of an artistic image. And to feel that each sketch (exercise), sketch (sketch, sketch) are of great artistic value and are no less interesting than the finished sculpture.

The exhibition promises to be interesting not only to people who are passionate about art, but also to those who previously remained indifferent to the mastery of a plastic image. For the latter, she will be an excellent motivator to achieve bold goals. After all, there is nothing more inspiring than to see that the path to perfection is difficult, but everyone can go it.
