The founder of critical realism in Russian painting. It is enough to take a quick glance at the totality of this artist’s works to recognize in them two directions, which, however, do not represent a sharp transition from one to the other. Works related to the first direction are limited to drawings and sketches. They strongly respond to the influence of Hogarth Hogarth - English artist, founder and major representative of the national school of painting

Realism by Pavel Fedotov

Pavel Fedotov flaunted universal human weaknesses. Their main idea is emphasized by adding to the one expressing it main stage side episodes; the artist does not skimp on accessories that can enhance the intelligibility of the plot.

Slide 4

The very idea that formed the basis of the composition became more and more serious and closer to life. Striving to go in this direction and overcoming the difficulties that arose before him at almost every step in an insufficiently submissive technique, Fedotov, thanks to his sharp mind, rare observation and persistent hard work achieved brilliant results.

From the artist's biography

Pavel Andreevich was born in Moscow on June 22, 1815 on one of the outskirts of Moscow in Ogorodniki in the family of a titular councilor. The artist's father dreamed of a military career for his son. For the rest of his life, Pavlusha remembered the stories of his father, a former Suvorov soldier, about campaigns and battles.

The Finnish Life Guards Regiment was formed in December 1806. in Strelna and Peterhof as the Battalion of the Imperial Militia, and already in 1808. assigned to the guard. In October 1811 it was reorganized into three battalions and called the Life Guards Regiment. In Russia, the army was divided into army and guards corps.

FROM THE HISTORY OF THE FINNISH LIFE GUARDS REGIMENT

The Guard is a selected part of the army, enjoying certain service advantages over army regiments.

Service in the guard could provide Fedotov with a career, success and money for the rest of his life.

Slide 7

Fedotov - officer

Regimental life began. In the first months, Fedorov was fascinated by the life of the guards officers - feasts, cards, funny songs. But a little time passed, the novelty lost its charm. More and more often, behind the external splendor of parades, he saw the empty, thoughtless life of a guards officer.

Slide 8

On watercolors and oil portraits fellow soldiers are deprived of the usual for that time

romantic aura of a heroic personality. The comrades in the regiment appear before the audience casually, without any pose, they are modest and intelligent, the artist treats his heroes with sympathy, but soberly and objectively.

Fedotov made many sketches of soldier’s life. He drew caricatures and portraits of friends, scenes from regimental life.

After three or four years of service in the regiment, the young officer began attending evening drawing classes at the Academy of Arts, on the Neva Embankment. There he tried to more strictly study the forms of the human body and make his hand more free and obedient in conveying visible nature.

Fedotov often visited the Hermitage as a student at the Academy.

    K. P. Bryullov

    Self-portrait

    Bryullov’s painting “The Last Day of Pompeii” made a great impression on Fedotov. It was exhibited at the Academy of Arts. And in 1840, Fedotov was allowed to become Bryullov’s student. But Fedotov never became Bryullov’s student: he still did not believe in his talent.

    Slide 13

    Fedotov - painter

    Free time became less and less, doubt increasingly crept into his soul: maybe he would never be a real artist?

    Experiencing an irresistible attraction to art and accepting the advice of I. A. Krylov (who was one of his favorite writers), he retired in 1844.

    At first, while studying with A.I. Sauerweid, Fedotov thought of devoting himself to battle painting.

    The brilliant old man, who saw some of Fedotov’s works, convinced him to give up soldiers and horses and engage exclusively in the everyday genre. That's what Fedotov did.

    Slide 14

    Fedotov's canvases

    The artist almost hopelessly locked himself in his studio, redoubled his work on studying painting techniques, and by the spring of 1848 he painted two paintings, one after another, based on the sketches already in his album: “Fresh Cavalier” and “Choosy Bride.” Having been shown to K. Bryullov, then all-powerful at the Academy of Arts, they delighted him; Thanks to him, and even more to their merits, they brought Fedotov from the academy the title of appointed academician.

    Slide 15

    "Major's Matchmaking"

    Fedotov’s main work is the painting “The Major’s Matchmaking” (1848), depicting the scene of the reception of the groom-officer by the merchant family. Here one of the most characteristic phenomena of Russian life of the 40s is noticed - the desire of part of the merchants to rise one step higher on the social ladder and, on the other hand, the desire of many representatives of the bankrupt nobility to improve their affairs with a profitable marriage.

    Slide 16

    "Aristocrat's Breakfast"

    …Morning. A young gentleman is having breakfast in a richly decorated room. For breakfast he has a piece of black bread, and next to him on a chair is an advertisement for the sale of oysters. Of course, he would prefer to eat oysters, but there is no money, and he stuffed his mouth with black bread. Suddenly the poodle, the “aristocratic dog” that was customary to keep in secular houses, smelled the guest. The guest is still outside the door, but his gloved hand is visible, grasping the curtain. U young man there is fear on his face: looking at the door, he covers the bread with a book.

    Who is this young man? An empty loafer, for whom the most important thing in life is to be known as a rich gentleman, to shine in society, to be dressed in the latest French fashion. He usually lives on credit, at someone else's expense.

    Slide 17

    "Widow"

    While working on this painting, Fedotov thought about his younger sister Lyubochka. Her husband, an officer, died and left her nothing but debts. What does the future hold for her? Hunger, poverty, the bitter fate of a Russian woman - an officer's widow. Here she is standing by the chest of drawers, her face is sad, thoughtful and submissive. Maybe she buried her husband yesterday, and today the creditors came to the house. How to live?

    Slide 18

    “Anchor, more anchor!”

    Small, as always with Fedotov, the canvas of the unfinished painting “Anchor, more anchor!” presents the viewer with the everyday life of an officer in the Nicholas Army, serving in some remote corner of Russia. The meaninglessness and purposelessness of this man’s existence, which kills every living feeling in him, is the theme of the picture, which condemns the destructive influence that the system of the Nicholas military, so familiar to Fedotov from his own experience, had on man.

    The relaxed pose of the officer lying face down on the bench, the red, feverish light of a lonely candle create a feeling of hopeless loneliness and emptiness of existence.

    Slide 19

    "Fresh Cavalier"

    First significant work Fedotov had a small painting “Fresh Cavalier” (1846; Tretyakov Gallery) - a satirical depiction of the complete moral and spiritual insignificance of the bureaucratic world of St. Petersburg and Moscow in the 40s. Here we see a lively altercation between an official, who has just risen from his bed after a feast, and his cook, a cheeky young woman. In the whole appearance of this sleepy man, sloppily dressed in a torn robe with a freshly received medal on his chest, there is an indescribable mixture of arrogance and limitation.

    Slide 20

    There is an old, old proverb in the world: “Tell me who you know, and I will tell you who you are.”

    With no less meaning, one can perhaps say: “Show me your home, and I will determine your habits, your character.”

    Alexander Ivanovich Kuprin

    Slide 21

    Slide 22

    Slide 23

    Slide 24

    The artist very often writes and draws himself: here he is, a young, brilliant guardsman in full dress uniform; Here he is playing cards with his regimental comrades; Here he is painting a portrait of the little dog Fidelka; his portrait is depicted on the chest of drawers next to the widow... And every time, depicting himself, he seems to laugh at himself, sometimes good-naturedly, slyly, sometimes sadly.

    Slide 25

    This is Fedotov’s last self-portrait – gloomy and hopeless, the artist’s eyes are restless, wary, sick. “...I saw myself in terrible hopelessness, I was lost, I felt some kind of delirium every minute,” he wrote then in an unsent letter to Yulenka Tarnovskaya.

    Constant poverty, years of overwork, nervous tension and the collapse of beautiful-hearted illusions had a fatal effect. In the spring of 1852, Fedotov showed signs of mental disorder.

    Slide 26

    Conclusion:

    The name of this artist is well known to art lovers. He is known mainly for his humorous and sarcastic paintings. It is no coincidence that Fedotov was called “Gogol in Russian painting”, and his creative credo “a picturesque anecdote”. His life, like that of most painters of that time, was difficult: poverty, illness, constant struggle for existence and a tragic early end. We are left with his interesting work.

    Fedotov Pavel Andreevich, an outstanding Russian painter and draftsman. Born in Moscow on June 22, 1815, in the parish of Kharitonia, in Ogorodniki. His father had a small wooden house; He was a poor man, but his family was large, and the children, including Pavel, grew up without much supervision. The morals of the street where the Fedotovs lived were the most patriarchal, which existed for a long time on the outskirts of Zamoskvorechye: all the neighbors on the street lived as one family, and the younger generation spent whole days in the haylofts in the summer, and in the yard in sleds in the winter. Self-portrait

    Pavel Fedotov later said that everything depicted in his paintings is the fruit of his youthful observations in Ogorodniki, and all the types that occupy him are a purely Moscow product. At the age of eleven he was sent to the cadet corps. The boy’s abilities were brilliant, his memory was extraordinary, and the authorities could only be embarrassed by the fact that in the margins of Fedotov’s school notebooks there was a whole collection of portraits of teachers and guards, and in addition, in caricature form. Capitalists

    Gentlemen! Get married - it will come in handy! 1840 Started military service An ensign in the Life Guards Finnish Grenadier Regiment in St. Petersburg, Fedotov makes music, translates from German, writes epigrams for friends and comrades, and draws caricatures of them. In his free time from service, he took up caricatures and portraits, which were extremely successful and attracted the attention of connoisseurs.

    Bivouac of the Life Guards Grenadier Regiment, 1843 After much convincing, the aspiring artist decided to leave the service and retired with a pension. He had no right to this pension: it was assigned to him only by the special grace of Emperor Nikolai Pavlovich, who appreciated his talent and assumed that he would make a good battle painter.

    Mousetrap Fedotov moved to Vasilyevsky Island, rented a small room from the landlady and entered the Academy of Arts. From early morning, the young painter sat down to his sketches and sketches, wrapping himself against the cold in a sheepskin coat worn over his robe, and only in the hotly heated classrooms of the Academy did he warm up from his homework.

    Christening In academic classes, under the guidance of Professor Sauerweid, who also apparently doubted his talent, he studied battle painting. The professor demanded a routine layout, that polished and polished image of the soldiers that their superiors demanded at the May parades. Fedotov was not to his heart, and at home he vented his soul, depicting the most ordinary genres, illuminated by the most good-natured humor of the author.

    What Bryullov and Cholera didn’t understand It’s all cholera’s fault! 1848 Sauerweid, then Ivan Andreevich Krylov understood. He accidentally saw the sketches of a young painter and wrote a letter to the artist, urging him to leave horses and soldiers (battle painting) forever and get down to real business - the genre. The writer’s advice sounded like this: “Show our people as they are...” That’s what Fedotov did, being the first in Russia to create works in the genre of “moral-critical realism.”

    In 1847, the painter painted the first picture, which Fedotov decided to present to the professors. This painting was called "Fresh Cavalier". The morning of the official who received the first cross and represented the official who had barely come to his senses after the feast given to him on the occasion of receiving the order.

    Also in 1847, Pavel Andreevich Fedotov painted the canvas “The Picky Bride”. The canvas tells the viewer a whole story. This is facilitated by the deliberately prim decor of the room, unnaturally emotional facial expressions acting heroes and some comicality of their positions.

    For the painting “Major's Matchmaking,” the artist was awarded the title of academician. The audience stood in front of this picture with undisguised surprise and delight: it was a new revelation, new world, opened by artist. Until now, Russian life, as it is, in all its real frankness, has not yet appeared in painting.

    The painting “Breakfast of an Aristocrat” was painted by P. A. Fedotov in 1849 -50. In it, the author ridicules the insignificance of a young aristocrat who squandered his fortune, but strives for external splendor and a life for show.

    Pavel Fedotov deservedly bears the name of the discoverer of satire in Russian painting; the works he created have firmly entered the history of fine art and captivate the viewer with their unusual, uniquely subtle craftsmanship and unsurpassed realism; his miniature paintings make a simply charming impression on our contemporaries.

    1. New topic.
    On the desk:

    Epigraph- “Fedotov... touched such deep notes that no one had ever hit in Russian art before” (V.V. Stasov).

    Problematic question: How was P. Fedotov’s work different? Who main character his works?

    Start of the presentation.

    1 slide. Topic: “Artist Pavel Andreevich Fedotov”

    2 slide. Self-portrait of P.A. Fedotova.

    A short biography of life in St. Petersburg.

    3 slide . Barracks of the Imperial Life Guards of the Finnish Regiment (Embankment

    Lieutenant Schmidt, house 43).

    Here, P. Fedotov lived in one of the officer’s apartments while serving in the Imperial Life Guards Finnish Regiment.

    Briefly about the service. The beginning of creativity. Fedotov - regimental artist. He paints events of regimental life, portraits of friends and comrades in service. (Message from one of the students).

    4 slide. Academy of Arts building ( Universitetskaya embankment, House 17).

    An officer of the Finnish regiment P. Fedotov came to art in an unusual way.

    In his free time from service, he attended drawing classes at the Academy of Arts, which was located not far from the regiment barracks. Here he first acquired professional skills as an artist.

    5 slide. Paintings “Fresh Cavalier” or “Morning of the Official Who Received the First Cross.” 1846

    Question: Who is the main character of these paintings?

    The artist focuses on the life of a little person.

    Fedotov brought to art not only new themes and subjects, but also a unique interpretation of them. His works are chamber in nature. The plot is presented as a “window” to the world real life these people. The artist's gaze is full of attention and sympathy.


    • Fedotov solves the scene in such a way that the viewer becomes a participant;

    • When interpreting a scene realistically, he is very attentive to details that reveal more deeply the context of the plot;

    • Good quality and thoroughness of the drawing;

    • Restraint of color, built on subtle nuances of color;

    • Restrained chiaroscuro, which allows not only to reveal form and space, but also places semantic accents.
    6 slide. "Major's Matchmaking" 1848

    The artist's most popular painting. In 1849 it was exhibited at an exhibition in St. Petersburg. For her, Fedotov received the title of Academician of Household Painting.

    Analysis of the picture.

    The artist introduces us to the merchant's house, where everyone is preparing to receive the groom. An ordinary, unremarkable episode from the life of a merchant acquires a generalizing meaning in this work. Fedotov did not simply ridicule the vanity of the merchant, the self-interest of the major, the affectation of the bride or the rudeness of the mother. He made the morality of people of various classes the object of his criticism. “The Major's Matchmaking” is a satire, a satirical denunciation of the mores of the time, which turned marriage into a transaction. But the artist perceives life wisely, seeing both dark and light sides in it. He castigates these dark sides, but at the same time, his mockery is combined with frank sympathy and sadness. Telling his story, the artist admires every little detail in the picture, masterfully writing out all the details.

    7 slide. “Portrait of N.P. Zhdanovich at the harpsichord.” 1850.

    The portrait is called the pearl of Russian portrait art.

    Fedotov did not isolate himself within the framework everyday genre. Turning to the portrait is an indicator of the versatility of his work.

    The late period of creativity is associated with a state of personal devastation, which introduces tragic notes into his works.

    8 slide. Painting “Anchor, more anchor!”, “Players”.

    These paintings, painted in the year of the artist’s death, did not arouse interest among his contemporaries and remained unnoticed.


    1. Students' answers to a problematic question.

    • After three or four years of service in the regiment, the young officer began attending evening drawing classes at the Academy of Arts, on the Neva Embankment. There he tried to more strictly study the forms of the human body and make his hand more free and obedient in conveying visible nature.
    • Fedotov often visited the Hermitage as a student at the Academy.

    • Self-portrait
    • Bryullov’s painting “The Last Day of Pompeii” made a great impression on Fedotov. It was exhibited at the Academy of Arts. And in 1840, Fedotov was allowed to become Bryullov’s student. But Fedotov never became Bryullov’s student: he still did not believe in his talent.

    • Free time became less and less, doubt increasingly crept into his soul: maybe he would never be a real artist?
    • Experiencing an irresistible attraction to art and accepting the advice of I. A. Krylov (who was one of his favorite writers), he retired in 1844.
    • At first, while studying with A.I. Sauerweid, Fedotov thought of devoting himself to battle painting.
    • A brilliant old man who saw some

    Fedotov's canvases
    • The artist almost hopelessly locked himself in his studio, redoubled his work on studying painting techniques, and by the spring of 1848 he painted two paintings, one after another, based on the sketches already in his album: “Fresh Cavalier” and “Choosy Bride.” Having been shown to K. Bryullov, then all-powerful at the Academy of Arts, they delighted him; Thanks to him, and even more to their merits, they brought Fedotov from the academy the title of appointed academician.

    "Major's Matchmaking"
    • Fedotov’s main work is the painting “The Major’s Matchmaking” (1848), depicting the scene of the reception of the groom-officer by the merchant family. Here one of the most characteristic phenomena of Russian life of the 40s is noted - the desire of part of the merchant class to rise one step higher on the social ladder and, on the other hand, the desire of many representatives

    "Aristocrat's Breakfast"
    • …Morning. A young gentleman is having breakfast in a richly decorated room. For breakfast he has a piece of black bread, and next to him on a chair is an advertisement for the sale of oysters. Of course, he would prefer to eat oysters, but there is no money, and he stuffed his mouth with black bread. Suddenly the poodle, the “aristocratic dog” that was customary to keep in secular houses, smelled the guest. The guest is still outside the door, but his gloved hand is visible, grasping the curtain. The young man has a frightened expression on his face: looking at the door, he covers the bread with a book.
    • Who is this young man? An empty loafer, for whom the most important thing in life is to be known as a rich gentleman, to shine in society, to be dressed in the latest French fashion. He usually lives on credit, at someone else's expense.
    "Widow"
    • While working on this painting, Fedotov thought about his younger sister Lyubochka. Her husband, an officer, died and left her nothing but debts. What does the future hold for her? Hunger, poverty, the bitter fate of a Russian woman - an officer's widow. Here she is standing by the chest of drawers, her face is sad, thoughtful and submissive. Maybe she buried her husband yesterday, and today the creditors came to the house. How to live?
    “Anchor, more anchor!”
    • Small, as always with Fedotov, the canvas of the unfinished painting “Anchor, more anchor!” presents the viewer with the everyday life of an officer in the Nicholas Army, serving in some remote corner of Russia. The meaninglessness and purposelessness of this man’s existence, which kills every living feeling in him, is the theme of the picture, which condemns the destructive influence that the system of the Nicholas military, so familiar to Fedotov from his own experience, had on man.
    • Relaxed reclining pose
    • Prone on the officer's bench, the red, feverish light of a lonely candle creates a feeling of hopeless loneliness and emptiness of existence.
    "Fresh Cavalier"
    • Fedotov’s first significant work was the small painting “Fresh Cavalier” (1846; Tretyakov Gallery) - a satirical depiction of the complete moral and spiritual insignificance of the bureaucratic world of St. Petersburg and Moscow in the 40s. Here we see a lively altercation between an official, who has just risen from his bed after a feast, and his cook, a cheeky young woman. In the whole appearance of this sleepy man, sloppily dressed in a torn robe with a freshly received medal on his chest, there is an indescribable mixture of arrogance and limitation.
    There is an old, old proverb in the world: “Tell me who you know, and I will tell you who you are.”

    • With no less meaning, one can perhaps say: “Show me your home, and I will determine your habits, your character.”
    • Alexander Ivanovich Kuprin
    The artist very often writes and draws himself: here he is, a young, brilliant guardsman in full dress uniform; Here he is playing cards with his regimental comrades; Here he is painting a portrait of the little dog Fidelka; his portrait is depicted on the chest of drawers next to the widow... And every time, depicting himself, he seems to laugh at himself, sometimes good-naturedly, slyly, sometimes sadly.
    • This is Fedotov’s last self-portrait – gloomy and hopeless, the artist’s eyes are restless, wary, sick. “...I saw myself in terrible hopelessness, I was lost, I felt some kind of delirium every minute,” he wrote then in an unsent letter to Yulenka Tarnovskaya.
    • Constant poverty, many years of overwork, nervous tension and the collapse of beautiful illusions had a fatal effect. In the spring of 1852, Fedotov showed signs of mental disorder.
    • On November 14, the artist passed away.
    • The artist's last self-portrait.
    Conclusion:
    • The name of this artist is well known to art lovers. He is known mainly for his humorous and sarcastic paintings. It is no coincidence that Fedotov was called “Gogol in Russian painting”, and his creative credo “a picturesque anecdote”. His life, like that of most painters of that time, was difficult: poverty, illness, constant struggle for existence and a tragic early end. We are left with his interesting work.
