Maybe that's why always were many who called Zvereva Amateur and those who love paintings by Anatoly Zverev, see the lack of technical skills only in passing, weak, virtuosity Zverev manners obvious. They say that in life he wore carnival masks, turning everything around into view. His self-portraits - also theater, and lifted just the edge of the mask, but it's enough to start a dialogue about life, about the essence.

“I'll immortalize you…”

That's What he suggested to someone to paint a portrait, he realized his gift as any genius, and understood that his model will remain in time, will be “immortalized”. It works similar to a sketch, symbol, the hieroglyph, but only by the accuracy and ease of illustration; the content of the best portraits striking volume and depth.Anatoly Zverev paintings

It is believed that there are two periods in the artist, and the paintings by Anatoly Zverev, what is written to the end of the 1950s, expressing the real level of Zverev's genius. One of his real fans, the famous collector G. D. Costakis, believed that after the first exhibitions abroad Zverev went on about those who wanted to earn on it, and became a kind of opportunistic, to develop a scheme in which they created their own portraits. The artist himself said that he worked for himself until 1959, and then on the needs of others. The degradation is easily explained and alcoholism, and mental illness…

It's Hard to believe, looking, for example, portraits of C. M. Aseeva – last love and Muse of the artist. Of course, the incredible fruitfulness of the cause of the mass of the lightweight creations, sugary female mouth in the portrait “for sale” like to mention the honored figures of art criticism. But in a best female portraits of the late hour, not visible to the sweetness and true beauty. In them what I believed to be the quality Zvereva-man: he is good, despite the contentious nature and the many blows of fate. Paintings by Anatoly Zverev-an artist full of compassion, he does not have any evil caricature of his portraits, which are “strange men” on portraits of a true humanist.

Church and pine trees

Find art term, the most suitable Zverev, trying for a long time. The first Russian expressionist – the so-called it Costakis. He Zverev called his best time when he was ‘taxista” and insisted that he invented this style, and not some Pollock. Paintings by Anatoly Zverev has impressed foreign artists his free painting technique, when they arrived at the Moscow youth festival in 1957 to teach dense Soviet painters of abstract art.

paintings by Anatoly Zverev pineBut to call him a true abstractionist could only those critics that have shaped artistic views of Khrushchev and his associates. It cost them more closely to see paintings by Anatoly Zverev, "Pine. Nikolina Gora" (1968) or “Church” (1959) to realize that it – delicate and masterly master realist. In addition to the strong emotional message, born of a vigorous art form in the landscapes amazing accuracy and beauty in the transfer of moment, light and air, sound and wind - all that is inherent in the best masters of Russian landscape – I. I. Levitan, A. K. Savrasovu whose work, by the way, this “ignorant bully” was well known and highly valued.

Animals-wildlife

Among the fans of Zverev's art many of those who above all puts his schedule, and among the drawings-the graphic cycles of animals. So, the series is about the inhabitants of the zoo, established in 1952, has become a classic animal imagery.
Could be found “professional” a reproach Zverev: his work is not worth attention, because they are lightweight, they have little labour. Remember Pushkin's Salieri, who reproached heaven odarivka genius "of idle playboy”. But what if, in order to show the vigilance of the leopard, or the swiftness of a deer, Zverev only need one line and a few touches? Its graceful crane look sophisticated letter, and his eyes DOE - slightly amplified the pressure of a pencil, but to examine them and admire them endlessly.

Zverev Anatoly Timofeevich of the pictureImpressive paintings by Anatoly Zverev - an artist who believed that dogs accept him, and left a few “portraits” poodle Fili, the Russian Borzoi named Ulan and his other “friends”. Maybe with them, he looked sincere communication, which was lacking in the human world?

Illustrator

Still, how can he fit into the image of a dense self-taught, if he thoroughly knew the collection of the Tretyakov gallery, if recited “Eugene Onegin” if you recall his wit and aphoristic speech? All this is unthinkable without global communications culture around the world.

“Gogoliade" illustration to the fairy tales of Hans Christian Andersen, “the Golden Ass" of Apuleius and one of my favorite images – don Quixote – it works, not just make visible literary characters, in their unique view of the world created by the writer fascinating conversation on the raised topics.

To Achieve this capacity and generalization without much thought and after a cursory acquaintance with the story nearly impossible, or it remains to believe in mysticism, the unearthly origin, which have graphics and pictures Zvereva. Anatoly Timofeevich difficult to recognize a messenger of heaven, too sinful and was winding his way in life, but because of his valuable art study of the world classics.

Russian, Russian Matisse and Picasso

To be put on a pedestal - mission, feasible only history. Assessment of Picasso, who called Zvereva best Russian painter, too overwritten. To understand its significance, consider that it was expressed with the expansive genius of world abstract art, and it is difficult to rely on his sufficient acquaintance with Russian painting.

But this opinion of the great Spaniard does not seem an exaggeration, if you see a graphic image of Nude dedicated to her pictures Zvereva. Anatoly Kalashnikov was distinguished by a complex relationship to women that it is possible to understand from the memoirs of contemporaries. They have a lot of expressive characteristics and extraordinary actions against the fairer sex. Or is it again only a mask? Each line Zverev Nude breathes sensual tenderness, honed beauty and anticipation of the pleasure that is equivalent to the highest samples of art.

Animals and abstract art

He had a period of interest in non-figurative painting known series of Suprematist works. And how else could name the artist who so clearly did not fit in the official art, if not an abstractionist? Talked about this life style, and paintings by Zverev.

picture Zverev Anatoly Timofeevich

Anatolia and in the West is considered a symbol of the Second Russian avant-garde, his banner. And he believed his interest in pure abstraction is only temporary, his world could not exist truly without concrete: people, animals, objects, nature, without which no content could be full of harmony neither in life nor in art.

Past and future

In Moscow there are so many museums dedicated to one artist. Now there aredevoted to such legendary figures as Anatoly Zverev. Pictures, photos, videos – all this will help to discover a new phenomenon the young, to learn new facets of the talent and personality of those for whom he is a Moscow legend.
