Biography P d Korina

My neighbor, Pavel Korin, before the revolution, Pavel Korin studied at the icon-painting school and painted the temple in the Marfo-Mariinsky monastery, and after that he became known as the Moscow metro, author of portraits of Soviet figures and the head of restoration workshops in the Plane. The artist remained an Orthodox man all his life and did not hide his faith, appreciated classical art, and in his work continued his traditions.

Pavel Korin's main work is the painting “Requiem. The Rus' is leaving ” - became one of the most grandiose and tragic artistic ideas of the twentieth century, but was never completed, despite more than 40 years of work. What was and how the artist Pavel Korin lived. Pavel Korin in 10 quotes press in every quote to find out the main thing about the life of the artist 1 spirit in a person - the main thing.

The first who revealed the whole power of the spirit of man in art was Michelangelo. And to me, to the best of my possibilities, I want to sing the human spirit. Therefore, I am looking for people in the life of people who are very spiritual content, and I write them. Glory to the artist Pavel Dmitrievich Korin came largely thanks to work on portraits of contemporaries: scientists, writers, military leaders, artists.

He was an artist of rhythm, tension of the era, ”his friends will say later. What dogs were not hung on me. What was not attributed. But for twenty -five years I was erased by an icon painter. In the spring of the year, Pavel Korin with a small wooden suitcase left his native village Paleh and went to Moscow - to study. A graduate of the Palekh icon -painting school Pavel wanted to become an artist.

In Moscow, he worked in the icon-painting chamber of the Don Monastery, met the artist Mikhail Nesterov and helped him in the painting of the Pokrovsky church of the Marfo-Mariinsky monastery. And then, by order of the abbess of the monastery, the Grand Duchess Elizabeth Fedorovna, he independently painted the underground temple-sorceress, where she bequeathed to bury. These are the only frescoes of the artist.

Researchers do not exclude that this is generally the last temple painting in pre -revolutionary Moscow. But with his icon -painting past, Pavel Korin did not part and the icons from his life did not leave - by the end of his life the artist gathered one of the largest collections of ancient Russian art in the USSR. Pavel Korin bequeathed his collection of objects to the Tretyakov Gallery.

Pupils of the icon -painting school in Palekh, Pavel Korin in the center 3 there are cities to which, and having lived in them for a long time, you can never get used to. I fell in love with Moscow right away, from the first day: very Russian, this huge city was very much, and his soul was close to me.

In Moscow, Pavel Korin arrived in the summer young man. His creative principles were formed here, here he achieved his dream - became an artist. After the death of the artist, this building became his memorial house-museum, a branch of the Tretyakov Gallery. But Pavel Korin’s legacy is preserved not only by the museum, but by the whole of Moscow, in different parts of which the artist left his “trace”.

What is their covenant for me? I will answer this way - in a creative, daring attitude towards life. And El Greco, and Tintoretto, and Burdel are creators-creators. They created their worlds. Life for the artist is a source and a book-referral. But not the limit. Push the boundaries of our ideas, clean, remove the scale of prejudices. Fearing the human heart for the perception of truth and beauty, break, and finally break out of obsolete concepts.

In September, Maxim Gorky came to visit Pavel Korin. He met, looked at the work and invited him to a trip to Italy - to see the great masters. After this trip, Pavel Korin repeatedly traveled around the world, visited museums and made sketches from classical works in Rome, Paris, and Florence. He admired them and carefully studied. The creative manner of the artist is in many ways the merit of "great masters." Pavel Korin believed that art lives in traditions: “We must learn from life, by nature, and great artists help us, explain how to relate to it.

The Great Delacrois said that the laws of beauty are alone, and the form of expression is different for different eras. ” Maxim Gorky, after that first meeting with Pavel Korin, began to help him in everything, but the most important thing was organized by the arrangement of the new workshop in the former laundry building and gave the “security letter” the name “Rus Leaving” instead of the “Requiem” of the main picture of the artist.

Pavel Korin’s path to monumental art turned out to be logical: the artist was always attracted by historical epics and powerful images-symbols. In years, Pavel Korin began to draw up a Moscow metro. It is his mosaics - images of the great Russian commanders of Alexander Nevsky, Dmitry Donskoy, Minin and Pozharsky, Alexander Suvorov, Mikhail Kutuzov, as well as Soviet soldiers and officers at the walls of the Reichstag - we see on the Komsomolsky Koltsevaya, the Order of Wilness on the "Smolenskaya" and the collective farm and the collective farm at Paveletskaya, and on "Novoslobod" - stained glass.

The technique of stained glass Pavel Korin considered it exceptional in his capabilities, beauty and originality, but he was very worried that she was in a state of deep decline.Among his works in this technique are entrances in one of the "Stalin" high -rises on Kudrinskaya Square and the halls of the largest food store of the USSR. Apparently, this is laid in me by nature.

In childhood and youth, and in adulthood, I had to see and worry a lot of tragic: the death of father and brother, grief and death of the mother with the mournful sounds of the bell in a passionate week. Nesterov was not mistaken. Korin became a great artist of the tragedy and the greatness of the human spirit in Soviet art. He is one of those representatives of domestic culture who was available to hear the music of history, the music of the revolution.

This Blok’s understanding of the appointment of the artist was the being of Korin's talent. He heard the heroic, solemn, high. He heard a requiem. The easiest way to refer to a senior order is, such is a narrow path of the conjuncture. They are destroyed by indifference and ignorance. Someone's hands sign the order, someone's hands are laid dynamite, someone calmly, impassively contemplates all this and passes by.

I want to say: in the protection of monuments, our multinational pride and glory, there is no and cannot be strangers. In May, Pavel Korin was in Dresden and spent several hours near the Sistine Madonna until the closing of the gallery. After 10 years, as the head of the restoration workshops of the Plane named after Pushkin he met this picture in Moscow.

We sat, waited. When the car drove into the fence, Pavel Dmitrievich first got up, took off his hat. Everyone followed his example, standing, solemnly met her, ”recalled his wife and colleague Praskovya Tikhonovna. Pushkin for almost 30 years - from the GG. After the war, the museum kept a collection of paintings by the Dresden Gallery, which during the bombing of the city were hidden in mines and quarries, including the “Sistine Madonna” of Rafael.

The paintings were found by Soviet troops. Korin, leaning over a large canvas, is the face of an artist who is subject to the secrets of skill, and who came to the aid of his distant collection by profession in order to preserve and give a new life to his brainchild, equally dear to them, ”recalled art critic V. Pavel Korin led the work to restore the wall painting by V. Vasnetsov and M.

Nesterov in Vladimir in Kyiv. Grabar, who was then in the Pokrovsky Cathedral of the Marfo-Mariinsky monastery, is a place where the artist’s creative path began half a century ago. This workshop was the last place of work of Pavel Dmitrievich, the circle is closed. On the threshold of old age, I will say: "I did not do what I could do." I had my own image in the art that led me in my life from my youth, for the implementation of this image I studied so much and stubbornly.

The main work of Pavel Korin’s life is the picture “Requiem. Rus' is leaving. " In March, Pavel Korin participated in popular farewell to Patriarch Tikhon in the Moscow Don Monastery. Pavel Korin called the future picture a mourning prayer - “Requiem”, but the writer Maxim Gorky sincerely loved and supporting the artist, inscrusingly advised to rename it into “leaving Rus'” - so he saved from the persecution of the Soviet regime.

Pavel Korin worked on sketches for the picture for thirty years, without proceeding to write a large canvas. Faith is a great thing! Faith - in a broad sense. You can believe in God, and in the homeland, and in the people ... Some of the models of "Rus'" during the Great Patriotic War selflessly worked for victory, served in the Soviet army. By the end of his life, the academician of the Academy of Arts of the USSR, the winner of two state prizes: Leninsky-for a series of portraits of cultural and Stalinsky figures-for the design of the Komsomolskaya-Koltsevaya metro station, the national artist of the USSR Pavel Korin received worldwide recognition, his personal exhibition in New York was opened in the year.

The artist recalled: “Americans are sociable people. Literally bombarded me with questions. It was especially surprised by them that I am a believer. And it really was so. It will not be told, I did not tell them about the difficulties of my creative fate ... ”10 I largely disagree with Picasso, a lot is unacceptable, but the surprise: I walked along the museum, I wanted to get a negative impression of this artist, and I went to Hernik.

And when I saw this canvas, this large canvas, excellent tonality, a strong -willed, energetic drawing of details, it captured me. I felt: he is a looking for, rebellious and rebellious. I felt: a lot of torment, he puts a lot of thoughts in art. Pavel Korin is a paradoxical artist. He was a representative of Soviet art, but always remained "unsystematic." In the year, Pavel Korin signed a letter from 25 figures of Soviet science, literature and art L.

Brezhnev against the rehabilitation of I.
