According to paintings of different periods interesting to watch how the improved skill Vasilyev.

death of Konstantin Vasilyev painter

“an Icon memory" was created in the years when Konstantin Alekseevich was in search of my own style and created paintings in the genre of abstract expressionism. This artist's work — not just a romantic collage, it represents the memories of his tender feelings for a girl named Lyudmila. In it Constantine fell in love with the age of 20. After a breakup with a young lady he destroyed all her pictures. Scraps pictures Ludmila kept the mother of the artist. They formed subsequently the basis for creating ‘Icons…”, symbolizes the way the lost love of the Creator.

Konstantin Vasiliev A.: paintings of the last years of life

Shortly before his death Vasilyev draws a picture «Waiting», which depicts a Russian beauty with a candle in his hand. The girl stares at the frosted window in expectation of someone from the family. It is not known who the heroine looks out of the picture. Probably stranded somewhere in the road of the groom, but it could be a husband who did not return from the war. The girl's face, illuminated by the candle flame, visible anxiety for a loved one. The fire wizard painted on the canvas of luminous paint, so it looks very realistic. Vasilyev painted this picture for the birthday of his mother, which is why many think that the way ladies he depicted her at a young age.

the artist Konstantin Vasilyev biography

“the man with the owl" is the pinnacle of creativity of Konstantin Alekseevich and, by a sad coincidence, his last work. Her master has depicted the experienced white-haired old man, holding in his right hand a candle. He was tired, but ahead of him a long way. Up on his outstretched left hand he sits owl. The old man towers over the snow-covered ground, looking into the distance a stern look. Over the head of it — the starry sky, and his feet divorced a bonfire of paper scrolls printed with the artist's name. Viewers differently perceive the plot. Someone sees the man of God, and for someone it — the embodiment of worldly wisdom. The picture makes an indelible impression on others. Next to it I want to stay longer and try to see what I wanted to tell the artist to mankind.
