Little-known works of Ivan Shishkin on the anniversary of the artist in Yaroslavl Automatic translate

In the last summer days, residents of Yaroslavl got the opportunity to join the classic paintings and get acquainted with the work of their contemporaries. Two exhibitions opened simultaneously in the city, one of which is dedicated to the anniversary of the acquaintance of everyone, the famous and beloved artist I. I. Shishkin. Since he was born, 180 years have passed.

Ten museums of the country from their funds present the artist’s work in an unexpected role. If the main part, connoisseurs of Shishkin’s work, knows him from paintings, then at the exhibition you can see another part of his work - graphic works. The exhibition, created by the Art Museum of Yaroslavl, presents 55 sheets of graphics. Such an opportunity for the audience appears extremely rarely - paper sheets can not be in the light for a long time.

Etchings that show Shishkin’s talent as a landscape engraver are also presented here. The artist often used his sketches and paintings to create etchings; landscape motifs were expressed in them even in a more interesting light than in his paintings. In total, the creative heritage of works in the graphic genre of the master of painting is more than 170 pieces. Most of these works make up the exhibition.

The exhibition “Plein Air Across Russia”, which begins its work in the exhibition hall owned by the Union of Artists, is devoted to the creativity of the young generation of Yaroslavl artists. The exhibition exposition consists of the best works of the masters of Yaroslavl over the past two years. Although the work performed in the open air, that is, in the open air, is considered material for work in the workshop, but often the artist’s talent and skill make them finished works. These works are a chronicle of our time.
