DRAWINGS

by Nikolay Blokhin An album with drawings by one of the best Russian draftsmen of today. The winner of prestigious awards, among which are PSA and ASOPA, Nikolay Blokhin presents images the most dear to his heart – national Russian characters, theater and ballet performers, singers and musicians. He is one of very few contemporary artists whose drawings are treated as equal as his painting and are acquired by most famous museums and private collections.

References: “Nikolay Blokhin is an artist of a bright creative temperament.

His bull-blooded, free, liberally-coated paintings define him as a born colorist. At the same time, the first thing that comes to mind when one thinks of Blokhin is his brilliant drawing skills. Today such quality is hard to find… The main feature of the drawings by Nikolay Blokhin is their vitality, the clot of life energy and force, spontaneity and temperament. This is what is given to the artist from the Above, this is the gift that shall always find a way to manifest itself in any language he may choose.”

PAINTINGS

by Nikolay Blokhin A personal album of paintings by Nikolay Blokhin.

References: “Works of Nikolay Blokhin make a stunning impression from the first sight. Bright, sound colors complement each other exquisitely, colorful medley seems to be spontaneous yet strictly structured, and each paintbrush catches your eye at the same time performing important function in the entire composition.

The artist demonstrates unobtrusively his solid academic drawing skills – pleasant rarity in our days. Images of his portraits, landscapes, single and multi-figure genre compositions have a magical quality to remain in one’s memory for a long time.”

О чем эта книга В среде художников существует мнение, что учебник по композиции написать невозможно, и с этим нельзя не согласиться. Композиция это творчество. Творчество невозможно заключить в границы каких-либо правил. Если заглянуть в историю изобразительного искусства, то можно увидеть, как стили и направления сменяли друг друга, отрицая каноны, установленные предшественниками. Искусство классицизма отрицало правила, установленные стилем Борокко. В свою очередь, перемены происходившие обществе, ставили задачи перед искусством, которые отрицали установки Классицизма и т.д.

34

| 4ArT | C ATA L O G U E 2014

Тем не менее, с момента появления изобразительного искусства и до сегодняшнего дня, художники пользуются в своей работе изобразительными средствами, которые остаются неизменными, несмотря на изменение стилей, вкусов и творческих пристрастий художников. Эти изобразительные средства мы попробуем рассмотреть в этой книге. На примерах творчества выдающихся художников, постараемся увидеть, как велась работа над эскизами, проследим процесс создания некоторых выдающихся произведений русского изобразительного искусства.
