THE CREATIVITY OF IVAN IVANOVICH SHISHKIN
Early Creativity
For the early works of the master ("View on the Island of Valaam", 1858, the Kiev Museum of Russian Art, "Felling Forest", 1867, the Tretyakov Gallery) is characterized by some fractional forms; Adhering to the traditional "romanticism" of the "backstage" construction of the picture, clearly marking out the plans, he does not yet achieve a convincing unity of the image.

In such films as "Noon. In the vicinity of Moscow "(1869, ibid.), This unity appears already an obvious reality, primarily due to the subtle compositional and light-air-color coordination of the zones of sky and earth, the soil (the latter Shishkin felt particularly penetrating, in this respect not having himself Equal in the Russian landscape art).

Maturity
In the 1870s. Ivan Shishkin was at the time of unconditional creative maturity, which is evidenced by the paintings "Pine Forest. Mastwood in the Vyatka province "(1872) and" Rye "(1878, both - the Tretyakov Gallery).

Usually avoiding unsteady, transitional states of nature, the artist Ivan Shishkin fixes its highest summer flowering, achieving an impressive tonal unity precisely at the expense of bright, midday, summer light, which determines the entire color scale. Monumental-romantic image of Nature with a capital letter is invariably present in the pictures. New, realistic trends, appear in that penetrating attention with which signs of a specific piece of land, a corner of a forest or field, a particular tree, are written out.

Ivan Shishkin is a wonderful poet not only of soil, but also of wood, which subtly senses the character of each breed [in his most typical records, he usually mentions not just a "forest" but a forest of "sedge, elms and some oaks" (diary of 1861) or "Spruce, pine, aspen, birch, lime tree" (from a letter to IV Volkovsky, 1888)].

With special enthusiasm the artist writes breeds the most powerful and strong type of oaks and pines - in the stage of maturity, old age and, finally, death in the windbreak. Classical works of Ivan Ivanovich - such as "Rye" or "Among the valley of the flat ..." (the painting is named after the song by AF Merzlyakov, 1883, the Kiev Museum of Russian Art), "Lesnye dali" (1884, Tretyakov Gallery) - are perceived as Generalized, epic images of Russia.

Artist Ivan Shishkin equally work out both kinds of views, and forest "interiors" ("Pine trees illuminated by the sun", 1886, "Morning in the Pine Forest" where bears were written by KA Savitsky, 1889, both in the same place). His drawings and sketches, which are a detailed diary of natural life, have independent value.
