Igor Emmanuilovich Grabar is known in the history of Russian art as a wonderful painter, museum figure, outstanding teacher and architect. Each of his works radiates positive energy and creativity.

His paintings always show an optimistic perception of life. All his landscapes are bright, light, and lift the spirit and mood of the viewer. It is precisely this mood that permeates the painting “Clear autumn evening" Nothing gloomy or rainy, despite the autumn. Bright blue and clear sky, green grass of the fields, yellow-greenish leaves of the trees and a blue river. The impression is that nature does not yet want summer to go on vacation, and autumn is in no hurry to come. Sharp tints of colors and contrast make the picture more realistic and vibrant. The landscape is very quiet and calm. Probably, the author wanted to draw attention specifically to nature, which is why the poet did not depict animals and birds.

In the foreground, several young trees sway lonely from light autumn breeze. Autumn has covered the not yet fallen leaves with yellowness. There are many shadows from the trees on the green grass, this tells us that the sun is already starting to set, but everything is still shining brightly. A blue, blue river can be seen from behind the trees. It seems to divide the field into two parts. The pure blue sky occupies the upper part of the canvas and somewhere in the distance it seems to touch the ground. From this touch, the field turns light red, slightly noticeable.

Like all his works, the painting “Clear Autumn Evening” is full of positivity and positive energy. It is light, bright, colorful. You want to admire her and admire her. There is no place for hanging weeping clouds, gloomy rain and gloomy evening. There is no place for despondency. The author wants to show us that autumn is just one stage in nature, that without the golden color there will be no room for a green spring awakening. In nature, everything is fleeting and you need to have time to admire all its beauties.

Creativity of the famous Russian artist Igor Emmanuilovich Grabar after October revolution received its new development. The artist often traveled along the great Russian rivers Volga and Oka, admired the nature of his native Moscow region and painted landscapes. One of these wonderful landscapes was the painting “Clear Autumn Evening” painted by the author in 1923.

On the canvas in front of us appears a high bank, overgrown with bushes with already crimson leaves. From the shore there is a wide panorama overlooking the expanse of fields shimmering with gold, stretching into the distance towards the horizon. The water in the river is already cold, so there is no particular majesty in it, although the sharp transitions of shades create a feeling of fast flow. The smooth bend of the river is lost in the evening, almost lilac distance.

Still warm autumn Sun rays painted the foliage of trees and bushes with their pinkish light. They shimmer on the green crowns, which are reflected as if in a mirror in the waters of a quiet river. A slightly pensive landscape fills the soul with the charm of autumn, new natural colors, which have become even brighter these days without losing their freshness.

In the painting Clear Autumn Evening, painted against the background of a gray-blue sky, the combination of slightly faded greenery and rich yellow-red shades of gold, which characterizes the onset of autumn in central Russia and fully reveals the rich decoration of nature, stands out. The aspen leaves have already flown off from the very top, and there are few of them left on other branches, but the bright outfit of the farewell days of autumn is still magnificent. This is what the artist was able to depict.

Grabar showed in his work the decorativeness and unique solemn majesty of Russian nature. To do this, he used stability of composition and harmony color scheme. After all, it is in early spring and with the onset of the first autumn days that the air intoxicates us with extraordinary purity, freshness and transparency. The greenery is already losing its brightness, and is being replaced by yellow-purple shades. In the distance there is a thin bluish-green haze, almost invisible, but clearly perceptible.

Igor Grabar paints a background the color of baked milk above the horizon, only slightly diversifying it with an almost invisible ridge of small limestone or sandy hills that have managed to grow with greenery. The fields and meadows are still green, but there is no freshness in them anymore. The artist renders the field behind the river, sown with rye, in a light green color, but the lawn located closer to us is of a darker shade.

In autumn, if the sky is cloudless, it becomes high and transparent. The sun is setting, but the sky is still bright, milky blue. And only in the distance in the east does it get dark. The sun's rays break through the thinned crowns of tall trees. The artist uses dotted lines to indicate almost straight lines, which create for the viewer the visual effect of light cirrus clouds. But above them, a cluster of dark blue clouds is clearly visible, so the horizontal lines are even more pronounced here.

On this moment This autumn work by Igor Grabar, the painting Clear Autumn Evening, is in the State Tretyakov Gallery.

The painting depicts an evening landscape, although it seems that it is daytime outside. The trees are yellow, autumn has probably already begun. If you look closely, you can see a small river that flows very far from the viewer. It attracts a lot of attention, makes you look in its direction and try to see what is hidden behind the bushes near the water.

The trees are gilded, and greenery is still visible in some places. Probably, autumn began not so long ago, and nature has not yet had time to completely cover itself with a bright scarlet blanket. Lots of vegetation that attracts attention. It seems that you just have to reach out and you can touch any tree. It's very beautiful and exciting.

For some reason, the river in the distance attracts me most. She is so charming, I want to see her closer, touch the small waves. I like this picture, it managed to convey the mood of autumn just beginning. It seems as if all this is happening in reality; once you want it, the evening from the picture will turn out to be real.

The autumn distance opens from a small hillock. The river flows quietly, the spring flood is far behind us, although even now the breakers are boiling a little.

LEAF FALL

Leaves are falling underfoot,
The yellow leaves lie
The yellow leaves lie
And under the leaves they rustle
Rustling, Shurshikha, and Shurshonok-
Dad, mom and leaf

Golyarovsky.

The autumn distance opens from a small hillock. The river flows quietly, the spring flood is far behind us, although even now the breakers are boiling a little. Cloudless, blue-blue sky, the kind that only happens on clear days autumn days. Neither beast nor bird.
Only two trees in the foreground show off multi-colored foliage, not everything has fallen yet, and further, closer to the river, the trees are all covered in gold leaves.
The artist loved to depict clear, sunny days, when there is no place for despondency and sorrow. There are no hanging, weeping clouds ready to shower you with rain, no slush, sad figures, the personification of the withering of nature.
The artist showed us that autumn is a natural stage in the development of nature, that without this riot of gold there will be no spring renewal, that a fluffy winter will come and everything will be fine.
Grabar was an art connoisseur, a remarkable painter and museum worker. He taught at the Academy of Arts.
