Exhibition "Artists of the Perm Territory. Eras and Generations" Automatic translate

Exhibition “Artists of the Perm Territory. Epochs and Generations ”will demonstrate a retrospective of the art of the Soviet (1939-1991) and post-Soviet periods (1991-2019). Viewers will see works of painting, sculpture, print and original graphics, objects of decorative and applied art of artists of all generations. The “generational" principle of organizing the exposition allows us to present the creativity of each generation as a phenomenon of its time, with its own atmosphere, its problems and tasks, features and accents.

Representatives of the first generations stood at the origins of the creation of the Union of Artists, shaped the Soviet culture and determined the artistic life of Perm in the 1930s and 1950s. Among them, mainly graduates of the Perm Art College - Ivan Rossik, Peter Oborin, Athanasius Trapeznikov, Emilia Shorina, Ekaterina Kamshilova, Mikhail Kosinsky and other artists. In this period, Perm iconography began to take shape (watercolors by Vasily Batalov, Ivan Rossik, etchings by Ekaterina Kamshilova). Vasily Batalov, Afanasy Trapeznikov, and later Anatoly Tumbasov will become pioneers in creating images of the industrial Prikamye. The theme of social renewal, movement into a brighter future, and optimism became a kind of barometer of time. This theme is clearly expressed, including in the genre painting "First Success" by Peter Oborin, presented in the exposition.

The art of the second half of the twentieth century was formed mainly by the efforts of the sixties and seventies. The 1960-1980s saw the heyday of the fine arts of the Perm Territory. Capacious concepts such as Perm watercolor, Perm book, stone-cutting art of Prikamye are formed. The artistic culture of this era was created by People’s Artist of the USSR Evgeny Shirokov, People’s Artist of Russia Alexander Zyryanov, Honored Artists of the RSFSR Timofei Kovalenko, Stanislav Kovalev, Margarita Tarasova, Vladimir Maltsev, Oleg Korovin, Nikolai and Iraida Mozharsky, Viktor Kuzin, Konstantin Sobakin, Yuri Yekubenko and others. Matsumaro Khan, Vyacheslav Smirnov, Leonid Lemekhov, Irina Lavrova, Igor Odintsov, Mikhail Kurushin, Alexander Novodvorsky, Valentin Zhdanov, Anatoly Filimonov, Anatoly Mozharsky declare themselves.

In the 1990s, there was an active process of modernization of art, which can be described as strengthening the subjective-personal beginning, new names, creative projects, exhibition venues appear. The Union is replenished at the expense of graduates of the Ural branch of the Russian Academy of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture I. S. Glazunov, as well as the Department of Painting of the Perm State Institute of Culture, for many years headed by the People’s Artist of the USSR E. N. Shirokov. The academic school, ideas of modernism and postmodernism, modern world practices were combined in their work. The art of this period is represented by the works of Valentina Solovieva, Elena Postnova, Anna Demidova, Rustam Ismagilov, Tatyana Necheuhina, Maxim Nurulin, Konstantin Nikolaev, Konstantin Suslov, Maxim Titov and other masters.
