Pushkin autumn Painting

I am glad to represent artists of famous Leningrad school of painting.The Leningrad School of Painting is a group of Soviet painters, established in Leningrad in 1930-1950 years around reformed Imperial Academy of Fine Arts and unified by the Leningrad Union of Soviet Artists (1932-1991).The secret of the special appeal of the Leningrad school of painting is its strong link with the traditions of Russian art school prerevolutionary and post-revolutionary era. In 1930-ies, the major Russian artists and teachers had a great influence on the formation of the school , the most of them were students of the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts, there are Repin' students, Chistyakov's, Kuindzhi's. In the postwar years, their students become the keepers and followers their traditions. So in Leningrad carried inextricable link between Russian art of the late XIX-early XX century and generations of artists the middle and second half of the XX century: from I.Repin, P.Chistyakov, A. Kuindji, V. Makovsky, through V.Polenov, V. Serov, I.Surikov, V. Vasnetsov, M.Vrubel,I.Brodsky, D. Cordoba,A.Osmerkin, K. Petrov-Vodkin, and then through their disciple to the artists of the second half of the twentieth century. This continuity is the main essence, the main feature, which is to transfer of traditions directly from teacher to student for generations, in the same walls, with the same material. For the Leningrad school is characteristic traditionalism and general values common to European and Russian art. Another important feature of the school became the criteria of professionalism and ethics. Despite on the cautious attitude to innovation, it is inherent in the pursuit of a harmonious combination of the achievements of different artistic direction, trends and styles with saving the traditional Russian understanding of the goals and objectives of art. The style of the Leningrad school is the rejection of frills, poise, tact, understanding the role of nuances, subtle flavor and professional culture, the lack of expression and the harmony of the color palette. Works by artists of the Leningrad school are well represented in the collections of major museums in Russia, form the basis of the domestic art funds 1930-1980 period. Works by artists of the Leningrad school of painting have on the investment attractiveness of the medium and long prespektve.
