peculiar decorative scope of cloths Лентулова, брутальна beauty and materiality of painting of Mashkov. The lyric poet on a warehouse of creative temperament, avoids intended огрублення the form, aspires to thin study of a picturesque surface, achieves refined colorful harmonies. Penetrated by atmosphere of spiritual concentration and silence, painting differs original psychologist, is allocated by ability to reproduce thin shades of moods. Not casually therefore among its products the considerable place occupies a portrait. One of the best pictures of pre-revolutionary creativity - "At the piano. E.S.Potehinoj-Falk 's portrait "(1917). Relatives on style to painting are A.Kuprin and V.Rozhdestvenskogo 's products - artists of "a jack Of diamonds", working mainly in a still-life genre.
Some kind of permanent rebelliousness characterizes creativity of one of organizers of "a jack Of diamonds" MFLarionov (1881 - 1964). In 1911 it breaks off with this grouping and there is the organizer of new exhibitions under епатуючими names "Asinine tail", "Target". The primitive tendency of art has found In Larionov's creativity "a jack Of diamonds", connected with assimilation by professional art of stylistics of a signboard, a popular print, a national toy, children's drawing the most consecutive development. In a counterbalance to the majority of artists of 10th years Larionov consistently defends the rights of genre painting, not refusing the narrative story in a picture, But the life in Larionov's genres is a special, "Primitive" life of provincial streets, cafe, hairdresser's, soldier's barracks.
One of Larionov's the most typical products - a picture "Having a rest soldier "(1911). Grotesque, перебільшена typicalness of a pose indulging in thoughtfulness healthy big fellows with a flush in all cheek is undoubtedly cast by naivety of children's drawing. At the same time it is large-scale images and skillfully transferred duration lazy лежання before the spectator transforms a picture in is thin пародійований a smart portrait. But thus - sneer shades. The relation of the artist to model looks as "love irony". If artists of "a jack of diamonds", especially in a creativity initial stage, preferred a bright palette, strong color contrasts Larionov, as a rule, addresses to subjects prosy and rough, dim and not color, cultivating shades of the pull together colors, achieving refined silvereyes and a color harmony. To products of this artist cloths of the constant companion and adherent Larionov in its searches М.С were close. Гончарової (1881 - 1962). In a picture "canvas Washing" (1910) figures of two women against лубково "Розмальовану" a rural landscape, stocky, with heavy ступнями, are written with that is naive-touching liking to represented which distinguishes children's drawings, especially when the child reproduces well familiar, habitual subjects and situations. Here we deal any more with aesthetically-game stylization of a demotic life, as for example, at Кустодієва, and with attempt through primitive thing art to find a way out of labyrinths of modern psychologist and умоглядів, to find the lost sources of an is naive-complete sight at the world.
In a little bit other form the same tendency acts in art of M. 3. Walked (1887-1985). Extraordinary steadfast carefulness in reproduction most that on is prosaic details of conditions of the provincial backward life changed by paints of a spicy, magnificent palette, is combined at All Walked with fantastic motives of fantastic flights, heavenly signs, etc. it is similar to whims of the romantic fantasy fancifully mixing ennobled and low, casting memoirs on romantic stories of Gogol.
Pre-revolutionary creativity of most original of painters adjoins to a primitive line in Russian art - P.N.Filonov (1883-1941). Modern primitiveness is understood by it only as means to "simulate" in painting a certain complete picture of the world, the type of a world view giving in modern зри - Тельном experience representation about mankind myths. For the artist of the XX-th century it was a way to remind that makes a back of a machine civilization that is pushed aside by it on periphery of public attention, namely about patrimonial in the person, about that "part" of the person which it is with the nature, with its dark, is tenacious-inert, mysterious night, forces, "contact" with which forms the essential maintenance labor, in particular country, a life. So, in "коровніцей" (1914) Filonovs all is molded to each other as though in the chaotic disorder. The complicated syntax of a graphic phrase suggests the spectator to seek sense and sequence in combinations of subject forms and figures, following by guessing, that ring in a sheaf of human memory where there could be a key to the code number of this picture. But the direction of these searches is set by the picture withdrawing in area...
