SLIDE 1

“Looking at the beautiful and hearing about the beautiful, a person improves,” - this is what the ancient Greeks said. Therefore, we must surround ourselves with beauty - everything beautiful we can! Nature can give us everything we need. How many wonderful sensations and impressions you can get from communicating with nature! How many colors, shapes, sounds, transformations you can see and hear in it!

A child artist observes nature and expresses his vision of what happens in it through creativity. The teacher helps the child “open his eyes” to the world he sees.

Nature can act as an Artist or a beautiful Sorceress who creates visible world according to the laws of beauty and harmony.

An artistic landscape reveals the poetry of nature, teaches us to see its beauty, and enriches our ideas.

SLIDE 2

The nature of Russia is diverse and unique. Wonderful Russian poets sang its beauty in their poems: Zhukovsky V.A., Pushkin A.S., Tyutchev F.I., Fet A.A., Nekrasov N.A., Nikitin I.S. and others. And then we saw Russian nature in the paintings of landscape artists: I. Shishkin, A. Kuindzhi, I. Ostroukhov, I. Levitan, V. Polenov, G. Myasoedov, A. Gerasimov, A. Savrasov, V. Nikonov and many others painters.

SLIDE 3

And so, the theme of the project is “Russian nature in the paintings of Russian artists.”

SLIDE 4

Nature -

… Not a cast, not a soulless face -

She has a soul, she has freedom,

It has love, it has language...

(“Not what you think, nature...” , F.I. Tyutchev)

A. Plastov “First Snow” 1946

Arkady Plastov is a Russian painter who lived during Soviet times. He was born in a village and most of all he loved to draw the village, village life and peasants. He liked bright, exciting colors. But Plastov’s painting “First Snow” is quite monotonous and dull in terms of color, its main colors are white and gray-brown. But this does not make the picture boring. On the contrary, it is “warm”, despite the fact that it depicts winter.

SLIDE 11

I.E. Grabar "Winter morning"

The artist Igor Emmanuilovich Grabar loved winter and snow very much. In their depiction he found incredible opportunities for the artist. At first glance, everything in winter should be boring, because a white blanket has completely covered the entire earth. But Grabar’s paintings prove the opposite - you need a huge number of different tones to paint just white snow. Blue is especially good for this. Here is the painting "Winter Morning". Bright blue-blue, azure prevails here. The whole picture is striking in its pure blue. Snow and frost appear so blue in the bright sun on a frosty day. The eyes are dazzled by this flawless blue.

SLIDE 12

Shishkin I. I. In the wild north

It's lonely in the wild north
There is a pine tree on the bare top.
And dozes, swaying, and snow falls
She is dressed like a robe.
And she dreams of everything in the distant desert,
In the region where the sun rises,
Alone and sad on a flammable cliff
A beautiful palm tree is growing. (M.Yu. Lermontov)

SLIDE 17

Baksheev V. N. Blue Spring

The artist Vasily Baksheev is a continuator of the traditions of Russian landscape painters - Savrasov, Grabar, Levitan also painted paintings depicting the forest at different times of the year.

And what kind of Russian landscape could there be without the dear birch tree? The painting depicts a forest in the middle of spring, when the leaves have not yet appeared on the trees, but the air is already full of warmth and the rich smells of awakening nature. You can just feel the mushroom aroma of last year’s wet leaves, the gentle and pungent spirit from old and young grass, bursting buds.

SLIDE 18

Savrasov A.K. The Rooks Have Arrived. 1871

The painting by the Itinerant artist Alexei Savrasov has become one of the key paintings in Russian painting. This picture is a quiet hymn to Russian nature, to spring, which is just beginning, spring mood which is just awakening in us. This picture speaks of spring not directly, but with a hint, a feeling that spring began literally at this moment when we looked at the picture. This happens when a person who has worn a warm jacket for a long time during cold winter, suddenly one day he went out into the street in it and remarked: “Stop, but warm clothes are no longer needed, spring has begun and now it will be warmer every day.”

SLIDE 19

Ostroukhov I. S. “Early Spring”

Spring, spring! How clean the air is!

How clear is the sky.

Its azuria alive

He blinds my eyes.

Spring, spring! How high

On the wings of the breeze,

Caressing to sun rays,

Clouds are flying.

SLIDE 20

Well, it seems to me that the riot of spring blossoms is associated with Gorodets painting.

Gorodets painting is one of the most famous artistic crafts in Russia, the brightest phenomenon of the so-called “naive” art. Wooden crafts.

SLIDE 21

On the picture third

There are so many colors to count:

Yellow, green,

There is a blue one...

Forest and field in greenery,

Blue River.

White, fluffy

There are clouds in the sky.

SLIDE 22

I. I. Shishkin “Oak Grove”

It is impossible to count how many wonderful works - songs, stories, poems - have been written about love for the Motherland. The work of the greatest Russian artist, I.I., is also devoted to this topic. Shishkin, who raised landscape painting to unattainable heights. Each of his canvases tells the viewer how beautiful, wide and expansive his native country is, and although the meadows and fields, forest edges and copses depicted in the paintings do not amaze us with the enchanting rainbow of colors of distant exotic countries, they are a hundred times dearer to our hearts, because the Motherland - this is the most precious thing a person has, because here is our home, our closest people, here we take root, love, rejoice and grieve.

Everyone knows that oak trees live a long time, being silent witnesses to the change of centuries and generations. However, you shouldn’t look for that same group of giant oak trees that are depicted in I. I. Shishkin’s painting “Oak Grove” - you won’t find them, because it’s more likely collective image, created bit by bit based on many years of painstaking work with sketches.

SLIDE 23

Isaac Levitan "Birch Grove"

The artist Isaac Levitan loved to depict Russian nature. She happens to be main theme many of his paintings. " Birch Grove" - one of best works this great painter.
Levitan used rich colors to emphasize beauty deciduous forest, the splendor of a carpet of herbs and flowers. “Birch Grove” is a hymn to summer, bright sun and Russian birch. The artist did not depict the sky, but there is no doubt that it is blue, and white clouds float across it. Looking at the picture, I want to rejoice in the warmth summer day, sunlight, clear forest air.

SLIDE 24

And this is how A.I. Kuindzhi depicted a birch grove in his own way.

Not a single painting brought him as much fame as the painting “Birch Grove,” painted in 1879. This painting shocked the audience so much and the artist himself was so proud of it that he subsequently created several versions of the same painting. Much has been written similar works about this theme. Birches became Arkhip Ivanovich’s favorite tree.

SLIDE 25

I. I. Shishkin “Rye”

Cherries and plums have browned,

The golden rye has poured,

And, like the sea, the cornfield is agitated,

And you can’t walk in the grass in the meadows.

The sun walks high above the vault

The skies are hot from the heat,

Linden smells like honey,

And the forest full of darkness rustles. N. Grekov

SLIDE 26

I suggest Dymkovo painting for the summer, if only because this painting has the richest color range.

Dymkovo toys are small figures sculpted from clay and painted with bright colors. Distinctive feature Dymkovo toys are its shape and painting style.

SLIDE 27

A fourth gold

The fields are productive,

Ripe fruits...

Berries beads everywhere

They ripen through the forests.

Who are those artists?

Guess yourself!

SLIDE 28

Ilya Ostroukhov " Golden autumn"

The artist Ilya Ostroukhov is known as an outstanding master of landscape. He was one of the Russian Itinerant artists; in 1887, at a general exhibition, he first showed the painting that brought him fame. It was "Golden Autumn", a rather small canvas.

When the word "golden" is in the name, it says a lot. Gold is wealth, brilliance, beauty, decorativeness, splendor. This is exactly how autumn appears in Ostroukhov’s painting, rich and magnificent. It's about this time great poet Pushkin wrote: “The charm of the eyes!”

SLIDE 29

But Golden Autumn in Polenov’s painting.

SLIDE 30

I. Levitan “Autumn day. Sokolniki"

Asters are falling in the gardens,

The slender maple under the window turns yellow,

And cold fog in the fields

It stays white all day long.

I. A. Bunin.

SLIDE 31

Well, what kind of craft do you think can be selected for the “Autumn” sector?

Golden Khokhloma. A special feature of Khokhloma craft is the production of gilded wooden utensils without the use of precious metal and a unique herbal painting.

SLIDE 32

Landscape painting is one of the most lyrical and emotional genres of fine art; it is the highest level of artistic exploration of nature, inspired and imaginatively recreating its beauty. Getting to know this genre promotes emotional and aesthetic development, fosters a kind and caring attitude, a warm feeling of love for one’s land, native land. An artistic landscape helps develop aesthetic taste, imaginative and associative thinking, imagination, and self-contemplation. Landscape painting can not only bring joy, but also inspire creativity.

Children and artists know that the best portrait of nature can only be created in co-creation with it.

This list famous landscape painters was compiled by our editor Neil Collins, M.A., LLB. It represents his personal opinion about ten the best representatives genre art. Like any such compilation, it reveals more about the personal tastes of the compiler than about the place of landscape painters. So, the top ten landscape painters and their landscapes.

http://www.visual-arts-cork.com/best-landscape-artists.htm

No. 10 Thomas Cole (1801-1848) and Frederic Edwin Church (1826-1900)

There are two American artists in tenth place.

Thomas Cole: The Greatest American Landscape Painter early XIX century and founder of the Hudson River School, Thomas Cole was born in England, where he worked as an apprentice engraver before emigrating to the United States in 1818, where he quickly achieved recognition as a landscape painter, settling in the Catskill village of the Hudson Valley. An admirer of Claude Lorraine and Turner, he visited England and Italy in 1829-1832, after which (thanks in part to the encouragement he received from John Martyn and Turner) he began to focus less on painting natural scenes and more on grandiose allegorical and historical topics. Largely impressed by the natural beauty of the American landscape, Cole filled much of his landscape art great feeling and obvious romantic splendor.

Famous landscapes of Thomas Cole:

- “View of the Catskills - Early Autumn” (1837), oil on canvas, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York

- “The Heart of the Andes” (1859), Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York

- "Cotopaxi" (1862), Detroit Institute of Arts

No. 9 Caspar David Friedrich (1774-1840)

Thoughtful, melancholy and a bit of a recluse, Caspar David Friedrich - greatest artist-landscape painter of the romantic tradition. Born near the Baltic Sea, he settled in Dresden, where he focused exclusively on spiritual connections and the meaning of landscape, inspired by the silent silence of the forest, as well as light (sunrise, sunset, moonlight) and the seasons. His genius lay in his ability to capture a hitherto unknown spiritual dimension in nature, which gives the landscape an emotional, never-before-matched mysticism.

Famous landscapes of Caspar David Friedrich:

- “Winter Landscape” (1811), oil on canvas, National Gallery, London

- “Landscape in Riesengebirge” (1830), oil on canvas, Pushkin Museum, Moscow

- “Man and Woman Looking at the Moon” (1830-1835), oil, National Gallery, Berlin

No. 8 Alfred Sisley (1839-1899)

Often called the “forgotten impressionist,” the Anglo-French Alfred Sisley was second only to Monet in his devotion to spontaneous plein airism: he was the only Impressionist to devote himself exclusively to landscape painting. His seriously underrated reputation rests on his ability to capture the unique effects of light and the seasons in sweeping landscapes and sea and river scenes. His image of dawn and an unclear day is especially memorable. Nowadays it is not very popular, but is still considered one of greatest representatives Impressionist landscape painting. Might well be overrated since, unlike Monet, his work never suffered from a lack of form.

Famous landscapes of Alfred Sisley:

- “Foggy Morning” (1874), oil on canvas, Orsay Museum

- “Snow at Louveciennes” (1878), oil on canvas, Orsay Museum, Paris

- “Morette Bridge in the Sun” (1892), oil on canvas, private collection

No. 7 Albert Cuyp (1620-1691)

Dutch realist painter, Aelbert Kuip is one of the most famous Dutch landscape painters. Its magnificent scenic views, river scenes and landscapes of tranquil livestock, reveal a majestic serenity and masterful handling of bright light (early morning or evening sun) in Italian style is a sign great influence Klodeeva. This golden light often catches only the sides and edges of plants, clouds or animals through impasto lighting effects. Thus, Cuyp turned his native Dordrecht into an imaginary world, reflecting it at the beginning or end perfect day, with an all-encompassing sense of stillness and safety, and the harmony of everything with nature. Popular in Holland, it was highly prized and collected in England.

Famous landscapes of Albert Cuyp:

- “View of Dordrecht from the North” (1650), oil on canvas, collection of Anthony de Rothschild

- “River Landscape with Horseman and Peasants” (1658), oil, National Gallery, London

No. 6 Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot (1796-1875)

Jean-Baptiste Corot, one of the greatest landscape painters of the Romantic style, is famous for his unforgettable picturesque depictions of nature. His particularly subtle approach to distance, light and form depended on tone rather than drawing and color, giving the finished composition the atmosphere of an endless romance. Less constrained by pictorial theory, Korot's work nevertheless ranks among the world's most popular landscapes. A regular participant in the Paris Salon since 1827 and a member of the Barbizon School led by Théodore Rousseau (1812-1867), he had a huge influence on other plein air artists such as Charles-François Daubigny (1817-1878), Camille Pissarro (1830-1903). ) and Alfred Sisley (1839-1899). He was also an extraordinarily generous man who spent much of his money on artists in need.

No. 5 Jacob van Ruisdael (1628-1682)

- “Mill in Wijk near Duarsted” (1670), oil on canvas, Rijksmuseum

- “Jewish cemetery in Ouderkerk” (1670), Gallery of Old Masters, Dresden

No. 4 Claude Lorrain (1600-1682)

French painter, draftsman and engraver active in Rome, who is considered by many art historians to be the greatest painter of the idyllic landscape in the history of art. Since pure (that is, secular and non-classical) landscape, like ordinary still life or genre painting, lacked moral gravity (in 17th century Rome), Claude Lorrain introduced classical elements and mythological themes into his compositions, including gods, heroes and saints. Moreover, his chosen environment, the countryside around Rome, was rich in ancient ruins. These classic Italian pastoral landscapes were also imbued with a poetic light that represents his unique contribution to the art of landscape painting. Claude Lorraine particularly influenced English artists, both during his lifetime and for two centuries after it: John Constable called him "the finest landscape painter the world has ever seen."

Famous landscapes of Claude Lorrain:

- “Modern Rome - Campo Vaccino” (1636), oil on canvas, Louvre

- “Landscape with the Wedding of Isaac and Rebecca” (1648), oil, National Gallery

- “Landscape with Tobias and the Angel” (1663), oil, Hermitage, St. Petersburg

- "Building a Boat at Flatward" (1815), oil, Victoria and Albert Museum, London

- “Hay Wagon” (1821), oil on canvas, National Gallery, London

No. 2 Claude Monet (1840-1926)

The greatest modern landscape painter and giant French painting Monet was a leading figure in the incredibly influential Impressionist movement, to whose principles of spontaneous plein air painting he remained faithful for the rest of his life. Close friend Impressionist artists Renoir and Pissarro, his desire for optical truth, primarily in the depiction of light, is represented by a series of canvases depicting the same object in different lighting conditions, and at different times of the day, such as “Haystacks” (1888), "The Poplars" (1891), "Rouen Cathedral" (1892) and "The River Thames" (1899). This method culminated in the famous Water Lilies series (among all the most famous landscapes), created from 1883 in his garden at Giverny. His last series monumental paintings of water lilies with shimmering flowers has been interpreted by several art historians and painters as an important precursor abstract art, and by others as the ultimate example of Monet's search for spontaneous naturalism.

“The beauty of nature in the paintings of Russian artists”

Class: 4

Full name of the head: Ruzmanova I.Yu.,

GPD teacher

Levzha, 2018

I . Introduction.

Nature in folk culture inseparable from man; his thoughts, feelings, life. The Russian artistic tradition has left us the names of many poets, writers, artists, musicians who touched on the theme of nature in their work.

Nature is our habitat. How can you live without the noise of foliage, illuminated sunlight, or watered by cool rain? How can you live without the smell of flowers, grass, black soil? How can you live without seeing the sparkle of snowflakes? moonlight and scarlet bunches of rowan against the backdrop of a dazzling white distance? Or without the delightful thrill of the soul only the first spring rays of the sun?!Our homeland has countless natural resources, it has greatness before man: its amazing beauty, which takes your breath away, menacing winter storms, deep rivers, high rocks, a variety of animals inhabiting Russia. It's all nature. All this is inspiration. Nature is a real temple of beauty, and it is no coincidence that all poets, artists, and musicians drew their ideas from observing them in the natural environment.

Inspiration is what is needed to create a work of art in music, painting or literature. Nature gives it to man in full. And in Russia she is very rich. Our country is especially beautiful. There is cold and heat, and hopeless forests, and desert plains, and majestic mountains, even the deepest lake in the world, Lake Baikal. Just the sight of a birch grove begins to shed tears of happiness and enlightenment!

Also, now in our country the topic of nature conservation is very relevant. People are often indifferent to this, but this is not right. Do we really have the right to destroy and spoil what has been given to us? Think about it! Let's take care of our priceless nature and admire it, the way great people of art did!

The purpose of my work :

1. To attract the attention of my peers to the topic of native nature in art;

Tasks:

Get acquainted with the work of Russian artists who embodied images of nature in their work;

Reveal a sense of patriotism through images of nature in art;

Fostering patriotism for the surrounding reality and caring attitude towards our native nature.

II . Main part

Consider the creations of artists about different times years to understand what feelings they experience at each time and how they express them in their works. Seasons in painting are a special theme in the landscapes of nature paintings by Russian artists, because nothing touches as sensitively as the change in the appearance of nature according to the seasons. Along with the season, the mood of nature changes, which the artist’s brushes convey with ease in paintings.

1. “Frost and sun... Wonderful day”

Winter! Our homeland is famous for its Russian winters. This is the unique beauty of Russian forests and fields under a white blanket of snow. These are bullfinch birds with bright breasts sitting on bunches of rowan berries. At this time, it seems as if all nature freezes, and the usual sounds of the city subside until spring, as in the painting by A.M. Vasnetsov "Winter Dream".

Winter in the paintings of Russian artists is a fabulous time of serene splendor, when nature sleeps and rests, hidden under a snow-white blanket, landscapes of the Russian winter are amazing in beauty and reveal the true winter nature.

I.E. Grabar " February blue»

V.G. Tsyplakov “Frost and Sun”

S.Yu. Zhukovsky "Winter"

Winter is loved in Russia, but despite this, we usually associate it with cold weather and sad thoughts.

I. Levitan “Winter in the Forest”

2. How bright, how elegant spring is!

Ah spring! Time for love, bloom, happiness! IN clear air The delightful smells of approaching warmth and sun are in the air. At this time of year, all nature comes to life, waking up after winter sleep. And how beautiful it is to wake up! Everywhere there are sounds of streams, birds singing, snow is melting, and spring rays are shining on the water.

A. Gritsai “April in the forest”

One of the founders of the Russian landscape school, Alexey Kondratievich Savrasov, was very sensitive to spring.

A.K. Savrasov “The rooks have arrived”

He has a lot of paintings depicting this time of year. Levitan, Savrasov’s favorite student, notes: “With Savrasov, lyricism appeared in landscape painting and boundless love for his native land.” When K. Paustovsky came one spring to the workshop of the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture, Savrasov shouted to the students: “Drive the sun onto the canvas! We missed the spring warmth! The snow melted and ran down the ravines cold water– why didn’t I see this in your sketches? The linden trees were blooming, the rains were as if not water, but silver was pouring from the sky - where is all this on your canvases? Shame and nonsense! Also, Savrasov’s contemporaries preserved his words that without air there is no landscape: “...No matter how many birches and spruce trees you plant, no matter what you come up with, if you don’t write air... the landscape is rubbish.”

I. Levitan “Spring. Big water"

I. Levitan “March”

Spring in the paintings of Russian artists conceals the tenderness of nature awakening from winter sleep in the bright colors of the sun, reflected in the brilliance of melting March snow, in the rich colors of grass, leaves and flowering spring landscapes stretching towards the sun.

I. S. Ostroukhov “The First Greens”

I. Levitan “Apple trees are blooming”

3. “Summer is a sea of ​​sun, light and warmth. It's time for joy"

Everyone loves summer! How can one not love green forests and fertile fields, warm rivers where, with the arrival of summer, people like to swim, the constant light of the sun floating in the petals of fragrant flowers.

A.A. Plastov "Senokos"

A.A. Rylov “Field Rowan”

Summer in the paintings of Russian artists is imbued with the harmony of warmth and fragrance of greenery, sometimes slightly tired by the sultry heat, sometimes saturated with refreshing moisture after a warm summer rain in the colors of the splendor of nature in Russian landscapes.

I. Levitan “Birch Grove”

I.I. Shishkin "Oak Grove"

I.I. Shishkin “Pines illuminated by the sun”

F. Vasiliev “Wet meadow”

4. “The golden foliage began to spin…”

Autumn in the paintings of Russian artists is the brightest and most touching time, where there are red-yellow, golden and warm colors of the beautiful Indian summer, and where there is a rainy and touching landscape of truly Russian nature in all its beauty of autumn splendor. The painting “Golden Autumn” by Vasily Dmitrievich Polenov fits this vision of autumn.

This is an outstanding Russian artist who left a significant mark on the development of the Russian landscape school. The painting depicts an autumn forest and a lake, which reflects the redness of the trees. This is a captivating landscape, truly “forests dressed in crimson and gold.” Here is exactly that “rare ray of sun” depicted, and in its light the foliage of the birches becomes even brighter, more dazzling.

I. Levitan “Golden Autumn”

HER. Volkov “Golden Autumn. Quiet river"

In autumn we say goodbye to summer fun, warmth, and prepare for winter. This, of course, leads to sad thoughts. Autumn colors are full of longing for the departed warmth. The paintings take on gray, rainy, cold colors.

I. Levitan “Autumn”

I. Levitan “Autumn. Road in the village"

III . Conclusion.

So, we enjoyed the landscapes of Russian artists. All this could not help but affect our thoughts about the captivating beauty and soul of the nature of our native lands. We must not forget what surrounds us every second, what gives us life and even more - happiness. Stop at least for a moment, take a look at what you usually don’t attach much importance to and pass by, rushing about your everyday affairs! Take a look and you will forget about the bustle, about the problems that torment your soul, and even about pain. Immerse yourself in another world, where there are no usual worries, but only birdsong, azure skies, enchanting smells and heavenly views of nature. And, of course, we should be proud of the nature of Russia, because no one else has such diversity and space. Love your homeland, preserve and respect its nature!
