The credibility of these names allows us to assert that since the establishment of the creative Union to the present day Moscow organization and a part of her section of painting was a significant phenomenon in the visual arts. Already the exhibition thirties "Artists of the RSFSR for 15 years" (1932), "15 years – RKKA" (1933), "Industry of socialism" (1939) demonstrated the activity and the significance of artists and, perhaps, one of the main qualities inherent many – freedom from the stamp. Of course, these were not all. But if you remember such works as "New Moscow" (1937) – Y. Pimenov, "Portrait in red" (1933) – F. Antonov, "Last snow" (1936) – V. Baksheev, "Bouzouki" (1932) – K. Istomin, "Partizan" (1936) – S. Malyutina, "Portrait of academician I. P. Pavlov" (1935) – M. Nesterov, "The Road to Nork" (1933) – A. Drevin, "Summer evening in Tarusa" (1933) – N. Krymov, "Dining room" (1932) – A. Shipitsin, "Factory on the river Tonne" (1936) – A. Morozov, "Armenia" (1933) – N. Udaltsova and many other works, we can say that in these difficult for our country years of art in the face of the most talented and conscientious people were able to maintain internal creative purity. And, maybe, the most amazing phenomenon of our art was the refusal of many artists carry in their creativity magnificence and attraction to dressing characteristic times of the cult of personality.
During the great Patriotic war, many Moscow painters went to the front, but nevertheless, the artistic life of Moscow not to be stopped completely. Masters of culture raised the spirit of the people from their works in the rear and at the front. Created posters, political satire, appeared "TASS Windows", the front-line sketches, drawings. Continued to occur easel and monumental works were written, the great chronicle of the people who had fought for their freedom. In postwar art had appeared the new names. In complex creative atmosphere of the cult of personality, flogging everything extraordinary, bright, talented a new generation.
Later these artists call "The sixties", as it was in the sixties had the approval of their spiritual and creative positions. The majority of these young artists were United by similar moral and aesthetic ideals, professional honesty, sincerity, ascetic early in life and art, civil courage. They were United by the belief in the higher purpose of art. A significant event was the First Moscow exhibition of works by young artists held in 1954. "Every generation of artists inevitably brings their art, their faith and their delusion that something saves, something rejected. All these young artists were trained in the difficult and crucial time. Still burning in the lives of many prominent artists – I. Grabar, P. Konchalovsky, P. Corina, S. Gerasimov, V. Tabor and more from hands could be transferred to the great traditions, values which often had no idea young" – says the artist – painter, academician, national artist of Russia- V. I. Ivanov.
In the mid and late fifties, sixties and especially in the cultural life of the country began to happen, the process of awakening of the new artistic forces, new stylistic discoveries. New most clearly manifested in painting. Through the plastic artists sought to Express their attitude to life, your understanding of the world. The sharpness and strength of citizenship, concern for the fate of the Motherland appeared sincere in their painting. At the same time the term appears, which is to some extent expressed the essence of a new direction – "severe style". This style tendency strict clarity, simplicity.
Today everyone knows that visited the exhibition official government led by Nikita Khrushchev were angry, and the newspaper "Pravda" in the lead article criticized the works of some artists of the older generation (R. Falk)and young, in the works which "was clearly demonstrated by formalist tendencies" (N. Andronov, P. Nikonov, and others). As a result, the audience literally attacked the arena. The newspaper wrote: "The arena is not able to accommodate everyone, the bandwidth of the biggest exhibition space was insufficient in comparison with the number of people who share the love of art". Soon after the political and ideological "thaw" has ended, and the subsequent ideological repression gave impetus to emigration of artists and the emergence of the underground.
We hope to see excursus into the history of the development of Russian art enables us to understand the origins and traditions of the complex picture of modern life art. Partnership;painters is a living organism, it is constantly evolving, updated with new names. It is a Partnership painters brings together the most important painters of our country, they are our national heritage. Today in art had come a very young people. Many of them are Surikova, there are and have graduated from other art institutions, but all share a love of painting, striving for professional excellence.
