1 The most famous artists of Belarus

2 2016 has been declared the Year of Culture in Belarus, and this is a great opportunity to get to know the artistic culture of our country better. This presentation is dedicated to artists born on Belarusian soil, whose fate and creativity are connected with Belarus. Professional education they received mainly in St. Petersburg and Moscow, which determined the development of their creativity in line with Russian art of the 19th century XX centuries. However, their artistic heritage is a cultural heritage not only of Russia and Belarus, but of the whole world.

3 Ivan Khrutsky is the most famous and at the same time the most unknown Belarusian artist. Everyone knows his paintings. Of course, we hold a fragment of one of Khrutsky’s still lifes in our hands many times every day. After all, it is located on the thousandth bill. At the same time, rarely anyone can remember the name of the painter. “Beloved Stranger” is what art critics call the artist, although for them there are still many mysteries and blank spots in Khrutsky’s biography and work. From Khrutsky’s late self-portrait (1884), a man looks at us who least of all resembles the artist; rather, this picture evokes the image of a 19th century merchant. But through the good looks and “decency” of the appearance, another calm confidence, far from complacency, rigor, and life wisdom shines through.

4 You can be incredibly talented, persistent and even recognized, crowned with many awards and be forgotten during your lifetime. Moreover, forgotten for almost a century. This is exactly the story of Ivan Fomich Khrutsky, the most famous artist of Belarus who worked in the nineteenth century. ()

5 Even years ago, even experts discovered Ivan Khrutsky. The most curious thing is that the works of this artist never fell into oblivion, because it is no coincidence that Khrutsky is considered the founder of Russian still life. This genre was loved both in the nineteenth century and in the twentieth. It was in the twentieth century that I. Khrutsky’s still lifes were in almost every home. Of course, Soviet people could not afford to have original paintings, but reproductions with such luxurious colors and delicious fruits decorated the apartments of many Soviet people.

6 INSTEAD OF SAN - ACADEMY OF ARTS There are still many mysteries in Khrutsky’s biography itself. But even what we know allows us to imagine a brave person, ready to overcome any obstacles for the sake of his goal. This is exactly what the 17-year-old son of a Uniate priest, a student of a religious lyceum, was like, who went alone to St. Petersburg to take up drawing.

7 INSTEAD OF SAN - ACADEMY OF ARTS Already three years later, I. Khrutsky begins to receive the first serious awards for still lifes - a genre that was in decline at that time. Small silver medal, small gold Khrutsky was moving towards his goal of receiving a large gold medal in order to qualify for a six-year internship in Italy at public expense.

8 In 1836, I. Khrutsky was awarded a large silver medal for the painting “Flowers and Fruits”. In 1838, for the paintings “Flowers and Fruits” and “Old Woman Knitting a Stocking,” the artist was awarded a small gold medal, and in 1839, “for excellent work in portraiture, landscape painting, and especially in the painting of fruits and vegetables,” Ivan Khrutsky was awarded the title of academician .

9 What world fame the artist could have achieved is anyone’s guess, because no Italy, despite receiving a big gold medal, never happened in his life.

10 FOR THE SAKE OF THE FAMILY, HE GAVE UP HIS DREAM In 1839, Khrutsky’s father dies. What remains is the mother and five younger brothers and sisters, who simply have nothing and nowhere to live. The artist, in addition to still lifes and landscapes, which are in great demand in St. Petersburg, paints 23 portraits of the “powers of this world” in two years. This made it possible in 1844 to buy the Zakharnich estate near Polotsk for his relatives and himself. We are no longer talking about any Italy. Since 1845, Ivan Fomich has lived permanently on his own estate.

11 From 1845 to 1855 the artist completed a large number of works commissioned by his patron, the Lithuanian Metropolitan Joseph Semashko. Khrutsky painted icons, portraits of clergy, many paintings based on works of religious themes by great masters of painting, as well as city views.

12 Ivan Khrutsky spent the last 20 years of his life in complete oblivion, with almost no exhibitions and no orders - after the advent of cheap daguerreotypes, fewer portraits were ordered. He painted his own children in interiors. The last works that we know of are two self-portraits that the artist painted for his son and daughter a year before his death. Ivan Fomich Khrutsky died in 1885 and was buried in the family crypt on the Zakharnich estate. Family portrait

13 I.F. Khrutsky may not have even found out that his still life was acquired by Pavel Mikhailovich Tretyako for his famous gallery- at that time a serious recognition of the artist’s talent. Today, Khrutsky’s works are available in various museums, and in 2009 in the National art museum An expanded exhibition of works by Ivan Khrutsky has opened in the Republic of Belarus.

14 Who was one of the eight children born at the end of the nineteenth century in a small town near Vitebsk into the family of a poor Jewish herring peddler to become? Probably a world celebrity. This is what happened with Marc Chagall. We can say that Marc Chagall is one of the most phantasmagoric lyrical painters of the 20th century.

15 Childhood and youth The future artist was born on July 6, 1887 (June 24, old style) in the village of Liozno. Chagall studied at the Jewish primary school, and then went to the state school, where lessons were conducted in Russian. At the age of 19, despite the categorical protests of his father, but with the support of his mother, Chagall entered the private “School of Painting and Drawing of the Artist Peng”. Peng was so impressed by the newcomer's daring work with color that he allowed him to attend his school free of charge. "Portrait of Marc Chagall" by his teacher Yudel Peng

16 Households, neighbors, traders and ordinary men became Chagall's models. Wooden houses, onion churches, a grocery store, Jewish customs and holidays - this simple and difficult, but such a “solid” life forever entered the heart of the young man. Images of his beloved native Vitebsk will constantly be repeated in the artist’s work.

17 St. Petersburg “Self-Portrait” In 1907, with 27 rubles in his pocket, Chagall went to Russian capital, where he sometimes lived on the brink of poverty. But all these hardships had little meaning for the young artist caught in the whirlpool artistic life capital at the junction of two revolutions. Learning and absorbing everything new, Chagall stays away from various associations and groups; he begins to form his own unique style, in which the fabulousness and metaphorical nature of the images are manifested.

18 Marriage In the summer of 1909 in Vitebsk, the artist met Bella Rosenfeld, the daughter of a Vitebsk jeweler, who would forever remain his lover, wife and muse. Marriage introduced the theme of love and motherhood into the artist's work. "Wedding" "Bella in White Collar"

19 "Bathing a Child" "Pink Lovers" "Blue Lovers" "Lovers. Walk" "Above the City"

20 Paris In 1910, Chagall went to Paris, where he became acquainted with world culture and the work of avant-garde masters - G. Apollinaire, M. Jacob, A. Modigliani and others. Chagall's paintings of those years are imbued with a rebellious spirit, painted in eccentric and burlesque tones and at the same time invariably carry a sense of the mystery of existence. "Me and the Village" "Birthday" "Cattle Dealer"

21 France After the October Revolution, Chagall served as commissar of the provincial department of public education in Vitebsk, decorating the city for revolutionary holidays. Having moved to Moscow, Chagall painted a number of large wall panels for the Jewish Chamber Theater. In 1922, Marc Chagall leaves for Europe. Since 1923, he has lived constantly in France, discovering the beauty of the south of this country. Colorful bouquets and flowering trees, which most directly convey the artist’s admiration for the beauty of the world, now become an integral part of his painting.

22 New York On the eve of the Second World War and in the forties, social motives, the theme of war and destruction, embodied in the tragic images of suffering people and animals, in the image of burning villages and symbolic scenes of the crucifixion, are constantly heard in Chagall’s work. The management of the Museum of Modern Art in New York invites Chagall to the USA, and in the summer of 1941 the Chagall family comes to New York. After the liberation of Paris, Chagall strives to go to France, but on September 2, 1944, Bella dies of sepsis. Chagall is devastated by grief and only 9 months later he picks up brushes to paint two paintings in memory of his beloved. "Wedding lights" "Next to her."

23 In the 1920s, Chagall's field of activity expanded. He received numerous commissions for monumental painting, book illustrations, sculptures, ceramics, stained glass, tapestries and mosaics and gained worldwide fame. Bible illustrations and stained glass

24 Until his last days, Chagall continued his creative activity. On March 28, 1985, at the age of 98, Marc Chagall died in an elevator, rising after a whole day of work in the workshop. He died “in flight,” as a gypsy woman once predicted for him and as he depicted himself flying in his paintings.

25 Few people know that the logo of the international festival “Slavic Bazaar in Vitebsk” is based on the famous Chagall cornflower, which has become a recognizable brand and symbol not only hometown artist, but throughout the country.

26 A man of art Mikhail Andreevich Savitsky is an artist whose name is inextricably linked with the main tragedies of the Belarusian land of the 20th century: the Second World War and the Chernobyl tragedy. In the phenomenon of Savitsky, it is impossible to separate the biography and work of the artist. He truly created the image of his time, the image of being of his era precisely because this being and this time cruelly and mercilessly built his destiny.

27 The life of the future famous artist began on February 18, 1922 in the village of Zvenyachi, Tolochinsky district, Vitebsk region. Mikhail dreamed of becoming an artist, although, of course, he had a vague idea of what it was. There were no art books in the village. Nobody saw the artists either. Acquaintance with painting in childhood was limited, in addition to icons, to two reproductions of “Maslenitsa” by Kustodiev and “The Morning of the Streltsy Execution” by Surikov. My father brought these reproductions from somewhere and took great care of them.

28 Savitsky’s youth coincided with the years of the Great Patriotic War. After graduating from high school in 1940, he was drafted into the Red Army. He found the beginning of World War II in Chechnya, but already in November 1941 he landed in Sevastopol as part of the landing force, where he took part in the defense of the city, which lasted 250 days. The city was surrendered, and after 5 days Savitsky was captured and, after a short stay in prison, was sent to Romania and then to Germany. Almost at the very beginning of the war, Savitsky found himself in the concentration camps of Dusseldorf, Buchenwald and Dachau. On April 29, 1945, he was liberated from the Dachau concentration camp by American troops.

29 “Prisoner 32815” In 1974, the artist began to paint paintings denouncing fascism. By the end of 1978, he had completed ten canvases and gave them the general title “Numbers on the Heart.” At the beginning of 1979, three more canvases appeared, completing the series. Only three decades later did the experience in artistic images. The paintings in the series “Numbers on the Heart” do not testify, do not speak, but scream about fascist hell

30 “Partisan Madonna of Minsk” After returning to his homeland, Savitsky entered the art school, and then the Moscow art institute named after Surikov, who graduated in 1957. After this, Mikhail Savitsky returned to Minsk, where he lived, practically without leaving anywhere, devoting himself entirely to painting. The theme of war becomes central in his work. His works tell about the horrors of war, about the inhuman trials that befell people during the Second World War.

31 In 1987, Mikhail Savitsky began creating the Black True story series. It took 5 years to work, 5 years of mental anguish, heartache, physical fatigue. Chernobyl, from the authors’ point of view, was inevitable. This is the result of arrogant and soulless human activity, which led to the tragedy of alienation from the earth, nature, the usual way of life, and from morality. Savitsky is the pioneer of this theme in art. He uses the reporting method to stories from the Chernobyl realities, he gives allegorical meaning. This is how his visible prayers appeared

32 Christian themes occupy an important place in the artist’s work: last years the author worked on the cycle “The Beatitudes” and historical paintings dedicated to the earthly life of Christ. Mikhail Savitsky began a new cycle of paintings “XX Century” after completing the cycle “The Beatitudes”. In it, the artist wanted to display his understanding of the problems of the 20th and 21st centuries.

33 Mikhail Andreevich died at the age of 89 on November 8, 2010. He was buried in the Eastern Cemetery of Minsk. The artist donated all his best paintings to our city, and they took pride of place in the Mikhail Savitsky gallery, which is located in the Museum of the History of Minsk on Freedom Square.

Belarus- a country of amazing natural beauty. Picturesque landscapes, clean lakes and rivers, healing springs, endless coniferous forests and birch groves, only occasionally interrupted by lonely fields or a whole string of blue lakes, will certainly captivate and inspire everyone who is lucky enough to visit there at least once. You are once again convinced that this region is truly fabulously wonderful when looking at the landscape paintings of the Belarusian artist Viktor Yushkevich, lovingly capturing these corners of nature on his canvases.

Works by Viktor Yushkevich are in galleries and private collections in Russia, Great Britain, Germany, China, Canada, Israel and Poland. The artist painted more than 3,000 works.

A childhood passion for drawing grew over time into something more, and when his father handed 15-year-old Victor a canvas and professional brushes, the beginner young artist a new stage of creative life began. The unusually beautiful landscapes of his native land became the main theme of his works. Victor learned step by step to capture the mysterious world around him, to capture the mood of nature, to create the unity of space, air and light. And he did it perfectly.

This Belarusian artist called a modern impressionist. His paintings are full of life and emotion. It is impossible to ignore his bright canvases, painted in an unusual technique.

The talented Belarusian artist Leonid Afremov never ceases to amaze users of social networks with his works. His paintings are always emotional, they evoke only positive and joyful emotions, despite the fact that the artist depicts autumn. Afremov does not paint with brushes. He uses a palette knife (a special spatula knife), with which he masterfully applies the necessary strokes with oil paints.

Many compare Afremov with the great masters of the past. But the artist insists that he has found his own style. His works can be regarded as contemporary art, which is based on the traditions of the past.

The artist himself notes: “ Human mind peculiar. We tend to cling to the past and be hypercritical of the present. We compare new creations with classic masterpieces and look for the slightest flaws. The grass may have been greener centuries ago, but talented people are still being born today.”

Leonid Afremov prefers to post his works on social media, rather than doing solo exhibitions in galleries. His artistic philosophy is based on the idea that art should not only be accessible to the elite.

Singer Alexander Rybak became the most popular “foreign” Belarusian of the past year. But he is far from the first to glorify his homeland beyond its borders.

In recent years, many Belarusian media cannot resist the temptation to look for distant Belarusian ancestors in every possible way. foreign celebrities. Either a grandmother will be found, or a grandfather, of whom the stars themselves do not even suspect. But let's dwell on those of our famous compatriots and more or less contemporaries who at least knew where their homeland was located.

Flight painter

The jealous French with sullen stubbornness keep silent that famous artist Marc Chagall is a Belarusian Jew, they really want to get his undivided property. During a tour of the Grand Opera in Paris, lampshades theater hall which was described by our internationally recognized compatriot, the guide so persistently did not remember Chagall’s Belarusianness that the portal’s observer had to ask a leading question. The guide changed his face and exclaimed expressively: “He left you!” But, no matter how much the French want to appropriate our artist, they cannot escape the fact that the master’s Vitebsk childhood became the main theme of his work throughout his life, not only painting, but also literary - the autobiographical book “My Life”. It’s sad, but albums with reproductions of Marc Chagall’s paintings are not published in Belarus, because the French copyright holders are not interested in this. But everyone can visit the Chagall art center in Vitebsk and see the house where he was born and grew up.

Leger's steel muse

Another Belarusian Nadezhda Khodasevich-Léger, a native of the Belarusian village of Zembin, became a famous French artist and muse of the famous painter and sculptor Fernand Léger. This woman had great amount will and perseverance. Since childhood, she wanted to draw and live in Paris. In the village where she was born, such an idea was perceived solely as a form of madness. Nadya, without her parents' permission, ran away to study painting in Smolensk, from there to Warsaw, where she got married, and together with her husband went to Paris, to the academy of her idol Fernand Léger, who himself invited them. After a quarrel with her husband, who returned to Warsaw, left without money, with a small daughter in her arms, Nadya Khodasevich began working as a servant. But at the same time, with her tiny funds, she published a magazine about painting, where works by Picasso, Le Corbusier, Léger were published...

During World War II, Khodasevich, an active member of the French Resistance, worked as a teacher at the academy during the day, and posted leaflets around the city at night. After the war, she helped Russian emigrants by organizing an auction at which paintings by the same Picasso and Léger were exhibited. After the death of the teacher's wife, Nadezhda Khodasevich marries him and adds Leger to the surname, and the most famous people Russia and France. After the death of the master, Nadezhda returned to her first husband, and together they opened a museum in memory of the master, who was donated to France. Khodasevich-Lezher herself became famous in monumental art, her mosaic portraits of her contemporaries are exhibited in many galleries around the world. Was an active supporter development of Franco-Soviet relations, for which she was awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labor and the Order of the Legion of Honor of France.

The Greatest Science Fiction

The writer Isaac Asimov, who, together with Arthur Clark and Robert Heinlein, is the top three science fiction writers in the world, was born in the village of Petrovichi, Mogilev Region, and was given the name Isaac Ozimov at birth. His parents, who worked as millers in Belarus, took away the future luminary three years after the birth of Isaac science fiction in the USA, where, maintaining their love for flour, they opened a confectionery store.

Isaac grew up, acquired the profession of a biochemist and became a unique, multifaceted author of science fiction, in whose works all styles and directions of science and literature were synthesized: detective, humor, astronomy, genetics, chemistry, history. Not to mention the fact that it was Asimov who invented the concepts that only many years later appeared in real life and were named with words he came up with: robots, robotics, positron, psychohistory.

King of the Air

The super popular American TV presenter Larry King is also a native of Belarus. His mother Jenny was from Minsk, and his father Eddie Zeiger was from Pinsk (one can assume that before emigration their names were Zhenya and Edik). They left for America, where the future screen star was born. Larry King is the recognized king of news journalism and talk shows, which he conducts in a rather tough manner. It was King who asked Vladimir Putin an uncomfortable question: “So what happened to the Kursk submarine?”, to which the then Russian president replied: “It drowned.”

Larry King - author practical guide“How to Talk to Anyone, Anytime, Anywhere,” designed to help not only journalists, but also ordinary people who often cannot overcome their indecisiveness.

Radio amateur and television professional

An extremely extraordinary and insightful businessman ahead of his time, David Sarnoff, before leaving for New York, was called David Sarnov and lived in the Belarusian village of Uzlyany.

Already at the age of 15, the enterprising David owned a newsstand, and then his fate developed progressively. At first, Sarnov worked in the company of the famous Italian Marconi, and it was he who, back in 1915, proposed using radio for entertainment and starting the production of household radios. But then this idea, which later brought in billions, seemed so crazy that its implementation was postponed for decades. While working as president of Radiocorporation of America, Sarnov gave the green light and provided conditions for the development of another emigrant, Vladimir Zvorykin, who invented the kinescope and determined the direction of development of the media business for many years.

The Roaring Lion of the Film Industry

The film company's most memorable screensaver - the roaring head of a lion - belongs to the Metro Goldwyn Mayer corporation, which was founded by Lazar Meir, who was born in Minsk. After emigration, turning into Louis Barth Mayer, he gradually began to implement his American dream selling scrap metal. But he loved cinema so much that he betrayed people of color for it. metals and bought a crumbling cinema in a provincial town. And a few years later he moved his small company to Los Angeles, where, to consolidate success, he lured the first beauty of those times, actress Anita Stewart, from another studio. And then long years worked on the lion's share of what would later be called Hollywood. In addition, it was Mayer who founded the American Film Academy and invented what millions of movie lovers wait for every year - the Oscar.

Presidents of Israel

The first President of Israel, Chaim Weizmann, was born near Pinsk, in the village of Motol, where he graduated from cheder. Afterwards he entered the Pinsk real school, after which he continued his education in Germany and began his path to the formation of the state of Israel.

Shimon Peres, the current president of Israel, who took this post in 2007, is also a native of our country: he was born in the village of Vishnevo, Volozhin district, Minsk region. His father was a lumber trader, his mother was a Russian language teacher and librarian. His grandfather, a rabbi, instilled in the future president a love for the culture of the Jewish people. Since childhood, Shimon Peres wrote poetry, and did not abandon his passion for literature when he became a politician. His books were published in Israel and were successful, and one of them was written under a female pseudonym and on behalf of a woman.

Closer to the sky

The famous fighter aircraft designer and inventor Pavel Sukhoi was born in the city of Glubokoye, Vitebsk region. His parents were teachers. Pavel Sukhoi graduated from the Gomel gymnasium, went to study in Moscow and went down in history as the general designer of the bureau named after himself. Under the leadership of Sukhoi, a line of combat aircraft "Su" was created.

Cosmonaut Pyotr Klimuk was born in the village of Komarovka, Brest region. He made three flights into space as the head of the crew, spending a total of more than 2.5 months in Earth orbit. In the cosmonaut’s homeland, which during space exploration turned from Komarovka into Tomashovka, a museum has been opened that contains unique exhibits, many of which were in space with Klimuk.

In addition, you can read about space travel in two books written by Peter Klimuk: “Near the Stars” and “Attack on Zero Gravity.”

Russian businessmen

The main reformer of the Russian energy system, Anatoly Chubais, was born in the city of Borisov in the family of a retired colonel who worked as a philosophy teacher. After many high posts, he became the chairman of RAO UES. Chubais's main project - privatization - turned out to be very controversial and was considered a failure. It is not surprising that nothing worked out, but the people were hungry after the communist past and firmly believed in the promises of Chubais, which stated that each voucher would eventually cost as much as two cars.

Entrepreneur Andrei Melnichenko was born and raised in Gomel, where his grandmother still lives, whom he visits on a private plane. Having started his career with currency trading in the 90s, Melnichenko subsequently became a co-founder of MDM Bank, and then its sole shareholder. Now Andrey Melnichenko is the chairman of the board of directors of Eurochem. His personal fortune before the crisis was estimated at $10.3 billion. Andrei Melnichenko is married to model Alexandra Nikolic, who is called the most beautiful Serbian woman on the planet.

Vice-president of the Lukoil concern Sergei Kukura was born in Brest. Very little is known about this businessman, but in 2002 his name made headlines in connection with a high-profile kidnapping: Sergei Kukuru was attacked at a railway crossing by unknown men dressed as police officers and held for two weeks in an abandoned Belarusian village, demanding $3,000,000 and EUR3 for his release. 000 000. Kukura hardly liked this return to his homeland, but then the kidnappers took the businessman to Bryansk, provided him with money and released him, according to Sergei Kukura, for reasons unknown to him.

Nobel laureates

Academician Zhores Alferov, born in Vitebsk and graduated from school in Minsk, received the Nobel Prize in Physics for the development of semiconductor heterostructures and the creation of fast opto- and microelectronic components. We use Alferov’s inventions every day. Without them the work would not be possible mobile phones and disk drives, Alferov’s laser is even used in store “readers” of product barcodes.

Alferov is not the first Belarusian to receive the Nobel Prize. In 1971, its owner was the economist Simon Kuznets, a native of Pinsk, who coined the terms “gross national product”, “human capital”, and also invented and proved the “Kuznets law” for the economies of developing countries: in the first 10 years of development, inequality in income distribution will increase sharply, then there will be trends towards leveling off. He has done a lot for the modern world economy.
