Filmography of Alexander Vasiliev: 1990 - Russian ballet without Russia (documentary) Bibliography of Alexander Vasiliev: 1998 - Beauty in Exile In 1997, the widow of the artist Alexander Pavlovich Vasiliev, actress Tatyana Ilyinichna, and son, fashion historian Alexander Alexandrovich, donated art museum more than three hundred paintings and objects from the workshop: sketches of theatrical productions and costumes by A.P. and A.A. Vasilievs, costumes, household items, books and photographs late XIX- beginning of the twentieth century. Alexander Pavlovich Vasiliev (January 11, 1911, Samara - November 10, 1990, Moscow) - theater artist, People's Artist of the RSFSR, corresponding member of the USSR Academy of Arts. Graduated from the Moscow State Academic Art School in Memory of 1905. He worked in drama theaters in Arkhangelsk, Vladivostok, Kirov, Rostov-on-Don. During the 1932-1933 season, A.P. Vasiliev lived in Samara, where on the stage of the Samara Regional drama theater(now Samara academic theater dramas named after M. Gorky) designed the performances “Prince Mstislav the Udaloy” by I. Prut, “Krechinsky’s Wedding” by A. Sukhovo-Kobylin and “Truth is good, but happiness is better” by A. Ostrovsky. During the Great Patriotic War Alexander Pavlovich Vasiliev was a fighter on the labor front in Karelia, then, as the chief artist of the front-line theaters of the All-Russian Theater Society, he visited all fronts with creative groups. Using minimal resources, Alexander Pavlovich knew how to create costumes for wartime productions, and came up with a system of dismountable scenery that was convenient for field conditions. In 1945, A.P. Vasiliev began working in the capital's theaters - named after. M.N. Ermolova, named after. Mossovet. He created the scenery for many performances, including stagings of the plays “The Endless Distances” by N.E. Virts, “The Goblin” by A. Chekhov, “Vasily Terkin” by A. Tvardovsky, “Dear Liar” by J. Kilty, “Uncle’s Dream” by F. Dostoevsky, “The Last Victim” by A. Ostrovsky. A.P. Vasiliev came to easel painting quite late, painting portraits of relatives, friends and simply fictional characters. One of the important themes of his work was the theme of human loneliness, including the theme of hopeless, lonely old age (“Peer”, 1977; Spring, 1978). The cycle of his works “The Hermits” reveals bright and expressive social types, subtly noted by the author (“The Hermit Bob”, 1978; “The Artist”, 1978; “Borya”, 1978). A series of portraits of contemporaries reflects the spirit of the time and the characters of the people around the artist (“Portrait of an Artist”, 1985; “Portrait of Olga Vasilyeva in a theatrical costume”, 1979; “Portrait of a Girl”, 1979). Portraits of my son famous historian fashions by Alexander Vasiliev, six in total. One of them is in our congregation. As Alexander Alexandrovich says, no one could write it better than his father, since he is his brainchild in every sense. Alexander Pavlovich often turned to landscapes “without an actor,” that is, without the presence of a person, pure landscapes, since they allow the viewer to plunge into the world of creative trips and, together with the author, visit the Netherlands (“Remembering Amsterdam”, 1986), Japan (“Tokyo ", 1984, "Expo-70. Osaka", 1971), Afghanistan ("Kabul. Market Street", 1967), Canada ("Bridge in Montreal", 1967), to feel the atmosphere of celebration and travel. In the still lifes of A.P. Vasilyeva with special attention and bouquets of wildflowers are depicted with love (“Field bouquets and two tomatoes”, 1980), objects from the artist’s studio, which emphasize the artist’s interest in the ordinary world of things in which he sees something unusual, reveals their nature, their “soul”. In any of his works you can feel the designer. The plasticity and proportions of any object, the space of the picture create the impression of an organized mise-en-scène. Forms are compressed, enlarged, distorted depending on the requirements of the stage perspective, on the role of the object in the stage action. The artist creates his own theater, where he himself is the author, director and performer. A striking expression of this attitude towards painting was the series of the mid-1970s with “balbettes” invented by A.P. Vasiliev characters. These are objects of various shapes, carved from wood and painted by the artist, reminiscent of skittles or kitchen utensils. Their name combines two concepts: “boob” and “babette” - a hat that was fashionable in the 1960s. “Balbets” play in the films of A.P. Vasiliev plays a variety of roles: either they serve as part of a still life, or they act as grotesque inhabitants of the “human” world. With their help, the artist plays plays alone in his own theater. In a series of ironic fantasy works showing the fictional country of Balbetinia, an attentive viewer will easily recognize a parody of real world with his complex relationships and life situations. The museum's theatrical collection is complemented by works by Alexander Vasiliev Jr., a famous fashion historian and theater artist. The collection includes costume designs for the ballets “The Sleeping Beauty” by P.I. Chakovsky (Ankara, Türkiye, 1993), “Cinderella” by S.S. Prokofiev (Cincinnati, Ohio, USA, 1995), La Bayadère by L. Minkus (Ankara, Turkey, 1997) and the opera by A.P. Borodin “Prince Igor” (Santiago, Chile, 1994). |
