“The traditions of orthodox art. The eternity in colors”. Yuliya Petuhova, Arguments and Facts/ No 15 April, the 12th, 2006

Sometimes it seems it is very important for modern artists to shout as loud as possible “That is me!” Luckily there are some exclusions from this rule. How Heavy the brushes of a lilac are. The bushes covered by a fluffy snow, and on the branches - like bright beads - the bullfinches. Hands of a woman, cutting a blockade ration of bread. The old woman who in meat grinders of war could keep the dearest - the grandson, an icon and an old samovar...
Sometimes in seems it is very important for modern artists to shout as loud as possible “That is me!” Luckily there are some exclusions from this rule. How Heavy the brushes of a lilac are. The bushes covered by a fluffy snow, and on the branches - like bright beads - the bullfinches. Hands of a woman, cutting a blockade ration of bread. The old woman who in meat grinders of war could keep the dearest - the grandson, an icon and an old samovar... The modern world with its mad rhythm of a life tightens us, and we slide past, not having time to notice all this. But, fortunately, there are those who have time not only to notice this beauty, but also to show it to us. These people are artists. Certainly, artists are different - it is banal, but the fact. One prepares the carcasses of animals, made intricate compositions from old newspapers and the spoiled teapots and name all this art of new time. Others to aggression and destruction prefer the conservation of the traditions. More over that a Russian realistic school of painting has rich traditions. The works of such artists were presented at the exhibition” The Brothers Teaches and their apprentices” at the Sovcom Gallery. Brothers Alexey and Sergey Tkachev are - the famous landscape painters of the second half of XX century. More than 30 years they headed the Creative workshop of painting of the Russian Academy of Arts. Among their apprenticies there are venerable academicians, and absolutely still young artists who nevertheless very sharply feel the world. For whom it is not much important to cry out: «Look what I am! ", and to inform through the canvases beauty, complexity, tragic element of surrounding. Those things which are done by some artists on modern bien aller, for us are inadmissible, - one of participants of an exhibition Dmitry Shmarin says. - It is frequent not the certificate of creativity, but the insult of a human image. Something DESTRUCTIVE. We continue traditions of classic, Christian art. It is important to us to display the beauty poured in the air. The artist should decide, where lead a person - to low or, on the contrary, to light. Our works are oriented to good; - the artist Elmira Petrova supports the colleague. Realistic painting sometimes considered as something mossy –it is like yesterday! Groves, flowers, apples in a basket... All this already was - at Surikov, Repin, Savrasov. Yes , it was! Also will be still for many-many centuries, while mankind are alive. In fact on the most prestigious world auctions millions dollars pay not only for cube artists or abstract artists, but also for Ayvazovsky with Shishkin, realists to the core. However, young painters can dream of the high prices for their pictures only. For the development of Art in this country it is nessesarry to have got such devotees as Treryakov or Morozov, who in their time opened the galleries, bought the works from the artists,- as artist Andrey Drozdov said,- God blesses, nowadays appeared such people as Yuriy Tukhtin who tries to find some sponsors or those who could buy serious woks. Yuriy Tukhtin the owner of the Sovcom Gallery, not only arranged the exhibition “ The brothers Tkachevs and their apprenticies” but also hold the auction of the pictures, the money received were pass to the artists. -“The interest to the realistic Art increases nowadays" – Yuriy Tyukhtin said. - That is why we try to collect all the best that was created for 5 years in the Academic studios of Moscow. In the nearest time we would like to renew altogether with a new mayor of Kazan Ilsyr Metshin the exhibition “The great Volga”, which was hold in Povolgskie cities more than 20 years. There is a good exhibition hall in Kazan where it could be exhibited two thousand of works of modern artists. The state museums and private collections point out: people are ready again to sand in a quire for hours in order to see a snow bound field or cocky village cocks depicted at the picture. I mean that a soul is still in life in us.
