Ivan Ivanovich Shishkin Ivan Ivanovich Shishkin Realistic Landscape Painter Review by Vladimir London Ivan Ivanovich Shishkin was a Russian landscape painter closely associated with the Peredvizhniki movement. Shishkin was born in Yelabuga of Vyatka Governorate (today Republic of Tatarstan), and graduated from the Kazan gymnasium. Then he studied at the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture for four years. After that, he attended the Saint Petersburg Imperial Academy of Arts from 1856 to 1860, and graduated with the highest honours and a gold medal. He received the imperial scholarship for his further studies in Europe. Five years later Shishkin became a member of the Imperial Academy in St. Petersburg and was professor of painting from 1873 to 1898. At the same time, Shishkin headed the landscape painting class at the Highest Art School in St. Petersburg. For some time, Shishkin lived and worked in Switzerland and Germany on scholarship from the St. Petersburg Imperial Academy of Arts. On his return to Saint Petersburg, he became a member of the Circle of the Itinerants and of the Society of Russian Watercolorists. He also took part in exhibitions at the Academy of Arts, the All Russian Exhibition in Moscow (1882), the Nizhniy Novgorod (1896), and the World Fairs (Paris, 1867 and 1878, and Vienna, 1873). Shishkin’s painting method was based on analytical studies of nature. He became famous for his forest landscapes, and was also an outstanding draftsman and a printmaker. Ivan Shishkin owned a dacha in Vyra, south of St. Petersburg. There he painted some of his finest landscapes. His works are notable for poetic depiction of seasons in the woods, wild nature, animals and birds. He died in 1898, in St. Petersburg, Russia, while working on his new painting. A minor planet 3558 Shishkin, discovered by Soviet astronomer Lyudmila Zhuravlyova in 1978 is named after him. Source: Wikipedia.org Enroll in the Drawing Academy Course http://DrawingAcademy.com.

International Scholarly Conference the PEREDVIZHNIKI ASSOCIATION of ART EXHIBITIONS. on the 150TH ANNIVERSARY of the FOUNDATION
International scholarly conference THE PEREDVIZHNIKI ASSOCIATION OF ART EXHIBITIONS. ON THE 150TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE FOUNDATION ABSTRACTS 19th May, Wednesday, morning session Tatyana YUDENKOVA State Tretyakov Gallery; Research Institute of Theory and History of Fine Arts of the Russian Academy of Arts, Moscow Peredvizhniki: Between Creative Freedom and Commercial Benefit The fate of Russian art in the second half of the 19th century was inevitably associated with an outstanding artistic phenomenon that went down in the history of Russian culture under the name of Peredvizhniki movement. As the movement took shape and matured, the Peredvizhniki became undisputed leaders in the development of art. They quickly gained the public’s affection and took an important place in Russia’s cultural life. Russian art is deeply indebted to the Peredvizhniki for discovering new themes and subjects, developing critical genre painting, and for their achievements in psychological portrait painting. The Peredvizhniki changed people’s attitude to Russian national landscape, and made them take a fresh look at the course of Russian history. Their critical insight in contemporary events acquired a completely new quality. Touching on painful and challenging top-of-the agenda issues, they did not forget about eternal values, guessing the existential meaning behind everyday details, and seeing archetypal importance in current-day matters. Their best paintings made up the national art school and in many ways contributed to shaping the national identity. The Peredvizhniki

Edge of a Pine Forest Signed in Cyrillic and Dated ‘1884’ (Lower Right) Graphite and Charcoal on Paper 32.5 X 46.5 Cm (12¾ X 18¼ In)
Ivan Ivanovich Shishkin (Elabuga 1832 - St. Petersburg 1898) Edge of a Pine Forest signed in Cyrillic and dated ‘1884’ (lower right) graphite and charcoal on paper 32.5 x 46.5 cm (12¾ x 18¼ in) Edge of a Pine Forest is an excellent example of Ivan Ivanovich Shishkin’s later depictions of forests. The naturalistic treatment and glimpses of unfolding vistas are characteristic of his style during the 1880s. Shishkin considered drawing to be an important branch of art. At this time the lines in his drawings are elastic and mobile, sometimes flowing, light and wavy, whilst at other times resilient and strong. He uses black lead in a light, free style but his pencil strokes are more animated and varied. Shishkin used a combination of pencil, charcoal, graphite and white chalk, which allowed him to achieve softer effects and a finer gradation of tone. Over forty years of artistic activity, Shishkin produced hundreds of paintings, numerous studies and drawings, and a large number of engravings. Many of these concerned forests and trees. An oil painting created a few years after the drawing, Forest in Mordvinovo (1891, State Museum and Exhibition Centre ROSIZO, Moscow), illustrates Shishkin’s use of an alternative medium to treat the same subject. Shishkin considered studies to be an integral part of the creative process, based on continual observation and reflection. The resulting level of detail does not detract from the unity of the picture, but contributes to a carefully thought out composition and the harmonious use of light colours. The present drawing was executed by Shishkin specifically for a project to demonstrate the potential of photogravure as a printing method.

Olsen Department of Visual Arts, BYU Master of Arts My thesis investigates Ivan Kramskoi’s well-known work Unknown Woman (1883). In reviewing the criticism concerning Unknown Woman written in the wake of the eleventh peredvizhniki exhibition in which it was first shown, Kramskoi’s painting attracted praise, perplexity, and condemnation. One of the major interpretations (though not commonly discussed) was that this work was meant to allude to female sexuality or prostitution in Russian society.

Peredvizhniki Exhibition Opens 29 September at Nationalmuseum
Sep 19, 2011 07:45 UTC Peredvizhniki exhibition opens 29 September at Nationalmuseum This autumn’s major exhibition at Nationalmuseum, The Peredvizhniki – Pioneers of Russian Painting, opens on 29 September. Sweden’s first ever exhibition dedicated to this group of artists features over 100 pieces on loan from the State Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow and the State Russian Museum in St Petersburg. Works by the Peredvizhniki have long enjoyed huge popularity in Russia but remain little known abroad. Exhibition visitors now have the opportunity to discover Russian art from the era of Tolstoy and Tchaikovsky. The Peredvizhniki were a group of artists who came together in 1870 in protest at the conservative attitudes and dominant position of Russia’s Imperial Academy of Art. Their goal was artistic freedom. Using realist techniques, group members painted nature, people and society in contemporary Russia. Poor farm labourers and political activists were portrayed with the same dedication as brooding twilight landscapes and leading intellectuals. The group used art to highlight social and political issues, organizing travelling exhibitions to take art to the people and beyond the cities of St Petersburg and Moscow. The group’s full name in Russian translates as The Society for Travelling Art Exhibitions. The Peredvizhniki were dedicated to producing a socially engaged art, and in so doing did not avoid or shy away from controversial issues such as social injustices or tough living conditions. A typical work is Ilya Repin’s Barge- haulers on the Volga, one of the most famous Russian paintings of all time, which shows the hard conditions under which such workers toiled in fin de siècle Russia.

Marc Chagall: He's Likely Not the Most Well-Known "Inside" Russia, but Likely Most Well-Known Outside
Russian Art TITRE PRESENTATION • Russian paintings reached the heights in the 14th – 15th centuries. It was the period of icon painting connected with the names of the greatest masters. During the reign of Peter the First, (17th-18th centuries), Russia opens herself to Occidental art and Russian painters adopted European ways of painting. Russian paintings are something like the sons of russian culture, transmitting every tradition and every side of russian folklore. Russia’s got so many artists which are famous in the whole world and whose art is very spectacular in every type knewn in the variety of painting. Russian paintings are something to look forward to , when visiting a museum and to discover russian history for. • As representatives of the French Lyceum of Moscow, we highly and officially recommend russian art, especially painters and their paintings. RUSSIAN PAINTERS • Levitan, Shishkin, and Aivazovsky, among many others, are names known to every well-educated person in Russia and abroad. These artists are Russia’s pride. Today, too, there is no shortage of talented Russian artists. Their names are just not yet so widely known. • Russian painters are very different from other countries’ painters – they have their special way of drawing and another vision of reality and of what is art. And at the same time they are not a bit worse than world famous European artists. They are very original and recognizable in the whole industry of paintings. FAMOUS RUSSIAN PAINTERS • Ilya Repin: He was probably the best-known Realist painter from that region, and is famous for works such as Ivan the Terrible and his son Ivan, he also did many wonderful portraits of his contemporaries, such as Tolstoy.

Ivan Choultse (1874 - 1939)
RA Gallery Ivan Choultse (1874 - 1939) Golden reflection Italy 0 signed lower right oil on canvas 65 x 65 cm Sold Provenance: Schweitzer Gallery, New-York, USA, before 1990. Private collection, Japan. Literature: Illustrated catalog Ivan Fedorovich Choultsé (2016) Stiftung Choultsé I. F., Zurich, p. 165, No 47 (illustrated) The painting titled TITLED GOLDEN REFLECTION, ITALY hypnotises the viewer with a scene of a magnificent sunset, turning reality into a glorious spectacle. It is no wonder that the artist, a bright representative of the art of the Russian emigration, Ivan Fedorovich Choultsé has been admirably appointed in the American press as "the wizard of light". Indeed, this painter can rightly be elevated to the level of the most outstanding masters of depicting sunlight and shades, glare, reflections, moonlight and enigmatic penumbra. Ivan Choultsé's mission in art was to reimagine landscape - as soon as the artist stood on the path of a professional painter, throughout his life he was developing his skills in order to attain perfection in the genre of landscape. As a contemporary of Choultsé, writer and art critic Nikolai Breshko- Breshkovsky wrote in 1929: "Since the time of Kuindzhi, no one has achieved such mastery in the depiction and transition of natural sunlight". Understandably, [email protected] RA Gallery it is Arkhip Kuindzhi (1841 - 1910), one of the most famous artists in Russia of his era, was an academic mentor and inspirer of Ivan Choultsé. It is fair to say, that the works of Ivan Fedorovich are worthy successors of the heritage of famous classics of the realistic art of the XIX century.
