"In the blue space", a picture of Arkady Rylov Alexandrovich

Let them say anything about the beginning of Soviet painting, epic and symbolic, "In the blue space" (Rylov's picture) clearly demonstrates the romance that filled the author of the canvas, written in the harsh, cold and hungry year of 1918 in Petrograd.

Arkady Rylov: brief information

The future artist was born in the cold northern places in 1870. He studied at the Imperial Academy of Arts. One of his teachers was AI Kuindzhi, a landscape experimenter who worked extensively in the open air. Not imitating his teachers, Rylov seeks his own way and finds him in the hobby of animals. Since 1902, he leads classes in the "drawing class of animals." This is reflected in his lyrical self-portrait with a squirrel. And also in the works that preceded the appearance of the work "In the Blue Space". Painting Rylova - a landscape that reflects a romantically enthusiastic attitude to life.

Seagulls

The first trial of the brush was "The Seagulls", written in 1910. This is a chamber work, in which there are both a sea landscape, and severe bare rocks, and sitting birds peacefully basking under the warm northern sun.

There is no space, space, but interesting is the blue-green color of the water, the gleam of which shines with blue shadows on the white plumage of birds. The triangle of the stone (it is rounded) is also expressed unequally, on which a flock is located. Otherwise, the canvas "In the blue expanse" was decided. The picture of Rylov will have a different rounded shape of the oval, which will enter its composition.

Preliminary sketch?

"Swans over the Kama" were written in 1912. The rocky landscape is deserted, two-thirds of the canvas is occupied by a boiling Kama, made in brownish-greenish tones, which enliven the white sheep of the waves. There is not enough space, the sky "presses" on a pair of flying swans, placed in the center of the picture. The painter did not show where their refuge will be. Around low-flying white birds, only water without end and without edge. It is believed that the "Swans over the Kama" anticipate the appearance of the canvas "In the blue space." Painting Rylova, written six years later, looks completely different, in a major way.

Romantic soul

The artist did not accidentally name his painting. The view simply captures the blue expanse of a huge sky with cumulus snow-white clouds, and the works of Jacob van Ruysdal, whose sky is the most important part of the composition, are recalled. Reproduction of the painting by Rylov "In the blue space" is before you. At a great height, touching clouds, white birds fly, marvelously written in white and white. Swans fly wedge, the leader is not visible, he is somewhere ahead. And on the clouds, and on the swans play a greenish-bluish shadow. Between them brightly shines the rich blue sky, which lights up, going down to the horizon, acquiring greenish shades. The gaze stops on a sailboat whitening in the distance. He is anchored in a calm cold sea, which is slightly worried under a light breeze. A wave of steep salting boils on his side. Pennants proudly straightened. The color of its sails is not uniform. It shimmers with bluish and greenish reflections of the sea. Only a romantic in the age of steam locomotives and steamers will hear the sails above the head under an incorrect northern wind. Only a romantic in the wind will sing a tight cloth. Cold rocks covered with snow.

The viewer is given a description of Rylov's painting "In the Blue Space". After all, a real work of art than attractive? The fact that everyone can fill it with personal content. On cold rocks, covered with snow, you can mentally put a thin figure Assol, who waits for the sun to turn sails into scarlet and finally come true her dream. A true artist always expects an unbiased view of the viewer and that he will complete his picture with his thoughts, dreams and fantasies. It is then that it comes to life, and not when it is subjected to cold analysis according to a given plan. It is the heart that tells how to describe the picture of Rylov "In the blue space." Art history is interesting as a science and teaches a lot, but sometimes you need to be distracted from academic knowledge and just be surprised and say: "Ah! How good it is, I do not know why! "

For the unsophisticated people, Arkady Rylov wrote. "In the blue space" - a picture in which you can get lost, stopping in front of her, and then look at the life of nature differently, admiring the fact that the artist gave a new direction to feelings.
