Lebedev Vladimir Vasilyevich. Artist Claudius Vasilyevich Lebedev Lebedev Illustrator

"IN. V. Lebedev was never an illustrator nor decorated books. Along with the writer - a poet or a prose - he can fully and the reason to be considered their author with full and reason: so much uniformity, thin observation and confident skill contributes to each book. And at the same time, his drawings never diverge with the word in the most essential and main thing. They are extremely rhythmic and therefore so well coordinate with verses or with such a prose, such as, for example, folk tales and fairy tales of Lion Tolstoy. "

One of the first series of posters of his execution was ordered by the Russian telegraph Agency "Petrograd Growth", which he fulfilled in collaboration with V.I. Kozlinsky in 1919-1920.

In 1924, Lebedev was headed by the artistic version of the established Children's Department of the State draft.

V. Lebedev.

In 1936, a campaign was deployed against his activities, articles with the derogatory criticism of his creativity appeared in the press. According to some biographers, these persecutions donated the artist, which affected his work; His style has become more restrained and cautious ...

In 1950-60, Lebedev led a secluded lifestyle, almost no appearing in public.

If on the question that you love most, I answer "art", or, for example, "book", I say: a fool. We must love not a book, but the life for which the book appeared ...

"We decided to go to Lebedev home. Will the artist start? Maybe he does not want and talk?

Went with daders of work. Does any of you know what to enter the workshop of your favorite artist? It's unforgettable. I remember everything with the excitement now to the smallest detail.

Large double-sided walnut easel, work table on goats and artist himself. On the walls - cubism, laundry drawings and ballerinas hanging boxing leather gloves. On the floor lie dumbbells. All the wall is a huge wardrobe with books. And near the window, in the ideal order, joinery tools are glittered - hacksaws, chisels, plans, the same "planer who made the planer".

Own Lebedev was an American. On it, leather yellow crags, English breeches, a cowboy shirt with sleeved skipped. And he himself, movable, with widespread legs, as if in a boxing rack. His judgments are unexpected and very accurate. He just struck us with all his appearance.

After seeing my drawings of Spand, which I brought, Lebedev told me: "You are all wrong, see how I have done" - and showed his "revolution street".

From excitement we did little, but still expressed the main

Having considered my drawings, Vladimir Vasilyevich takes the paper and immediately, with me, he draws what I did not come out in any way. His magic hand is mercilessly, with cold clarity, it fans to my mistakes.

The lesson is taught artistically.

Destroyed, collecting precious patterns in the folder and honest. I want to flee back soon, no one noticing anyone, no one sees - home, work. " (from)

Talk

Children's books, decorated and illustrated by Lebedev in the twenties, belong to the number of the best and most characteristic achievements of art graphics of that time. They laid the foundation of the new, Soviet book-graphic tradition. This is the Soviet Classic, which also has an impact on the development of the art of the book in our country.

This bright, cheerful, very summer in its coloring book came out for the first time in the midst of winter - New Year's gift to children to the new year 1925. The same large ones are designated two names of its creators: "S. Marshak, drawings V. Lebedev. " At this time, only the many years of cooperation between the poet and the artist began. According to the memoirs of the Son of the writer, Marshak, being together with L.M. Klyachko - a famous journalist, owner and editor of a private publishing house "Raduga" - in the printing house, saw some of the artist who did not know the artist on the floor. "I want my verses to illustrate this artist," said Samuel Yakovlevich to the publisher, raising the impression

The drawing for children should attract, Interested in the child. Figure color, in addition to clarity and concreteness, should be intense in color. But this intensity should be built not on the flowery, but on a picturesque relationship. The artist must teach the child to build picturesque relationships that the child will come in handy in his adult practice, regardless of the profession. If the drawing is black, graphic, then it must be fairly concrete, accurate and rosary.

Lived, there were fox yes hare. The fox had an ice-cold hut, and a bunny of a lubyana ...

C read almost to the holes Children's book with pictures. On a miraculous cover, the year of publication - 1924 ... "Hare, Rooster and Fox" ...
With this ink stain on one of the pages, with these pencil doodles to another, no memories may not be connected, because it is not my book, and I was born almost ten years later. But I feel that my face is uncontrollably sprawling in a smile, something for children overshadows and delays. Maybe I had exactly the same book, because there were reissues, and now, peering into these lines and drawings, not consciousness, not by memory, but by some other feelings, I recognize that my book, that world?

On each page - one or two lines printed by a large font, everything else is occupied by drawings. They are simple, fast, not intricate, it is difficult to describe them, determine what they look like: do not look like folk phones, for a primitive children's drawing, it is not similar to stylizing for children's drawing, if you compare with the works of famous artists who loved to portray animals, - nothing in common. Meanwhile, they do not break away from them. Hare is credulous and simple, and in the fox eyes with a painful, beauty, but it is better not to approach. But the dogs came running to the help of a hare: in the sleepers, round butters, one over the hunting shoulder bag, in another-throat on the bandy, what is called "Fu-Ye.", but on the other page they are flying from foxes - The bowlers fell, the sleepers were shared, the muzzles are so unfamming, funny, but they are puppies, it is only in the bowlers they seemed adult dogs. And all the animals in the book are funny and cute. Yes, this is probably wonderful - not the fact that everyone has his own character (everyone who draws animals, necessarily some character will come up with), but what they are funny. We are talking about the little things that they are funny, here and here are the beasts, but the young animals. And they all come along the book, how can the most restless latter rushing.

Probably the artist himself, when he painted his book, unusually loved all the children. And I remember my childhood at all because I had such a book, others who would definitely know that they didn't have this book, they will feel the same. Yes, apparently, the whole thing in the talent of the one who did a book. In the talent to understand all the children.

On the cover of the name - V. Lebedev

What managed to learn from artist's biographies and illustrator Vladimir Vasilyevich Lebedev? He was born in 1891, he graduated from the Academy of Arts, in 27 years old became a professor of petrograd free-art training workshops, was the creator of Petrograd growth windows, successfully exhibited at numerous exhibitions. Did anyone consider him an eccentric? None of those who knew him did not say that. Meanwhile, imagine Petrograd 1918. With great difficulty, Lebedev gets a lithograph stone and with ecstasy, working manually, prints a book of his own essay. This book is called Chuch-Lo Adventures. Well, how is not the killing? On the tense days, when the destinies of the country are solved, spending nights in the basement for printing a book about the adventures of a small Indian who are told not adults, but baby.

The text reproduces the malfunction of the children's speech and the characteristic intonation of the baby, and the drawings are improving the text. Not. Lebedev was not a blind man who did not understand what was happening around, they owned a passion, he had to create something absolutely necessary because it was time to be born a book for the smallest.

Nightly before that, a collection of stories and fairy tales "Christmas tree", compiled by A. Benua and K. Chukovsky, was published under the leadership of M. Gorky. Illustrated this collection of well-known artists of various directions: both Repin, and Puni, and Chekhonin, and Y. Annensky. There was something motley, because many of these artists did not think about how to work for the smallest. Lebedev took part in this collection and, probably, he considered him with a sense of dissatisfaction. What is the book for the smallest?

"Just brightness, the distround is still insufficient. Children - sensitive observers, but are capable of satisfying at first - no need to limit their capabilities. Cold teachings will not cause the necessary emotions, as well as excess grotesque and caricature. The book should cause a joyful feeling, to direct the playing start on the activities of the child and his desire to learn more. " But the main thing is: "Trying to truly approach the interests of the child, somehow get silent with his desires, remember yourself in childhood ..."

These thoughts were with such a clarity formulated almost three decades later, when Lebedev was made dozens, hundreds of books for children. And then, in 1918, he wisely over each page of the book with the tempting and incomprehensible name "Chuch-Lo."

When in 1925, Marshak was headed by the Department of Children's Book with State Publishing, he invited Lebedev as an assistant and chief artist. In the same year four books made at once, made jointly by Marshak and Lebedev: "Circus", "ice cream", "about a stupid little mouse", "yesterday and today."

Vladimir Vasilyevich Lebedev It was wonderful artist and illustrator of children's books. His graphic series, watercolor and oil works are known. We look with interest them, because they are documentary. A sharp eye, a plastic sense of time, a soft humor is forced to get back to them again. Nevertheless, the life of this artist, his creative face identified his passion and the striking ability to "remember himself in childhood." After holding the image of a children's book, he first created it. He was not an illustrator, but the Creator. He raised, became an assistant and comrade of the whole Pleiada artists working for the smallest: Pakhomov, Konashevich, Kurdova, Tyrsa, Kanevsky ... can be said, he continues to teach those who begin today.

Illustrations Lebedev to children's books

In 1912-1914. He studied at a private art school MD Bernstein. In 1918-1921. He taught in the Petrograd state free artistic workshops. He consisted in the Society "Union of Youth" (from 1913), "Association of new currents in art" (in 1922-1923), "Four Arts" (since 1928); participated in their exhibitions.

Work in the publisher and work on the book did not prevent V.V. Lebedev to fulfill himself in painting and create a number of outstanding picturesque works.

In 1936, the press appeared articles about the work of Lebedev, where his work was given the most derogatory assessment; Articles could provoke a persecution, the consequences of which for the artist could be the worst; These events greatly influenced the artist and donated it. Critics believe that the best works of Lebedev created by it before this fracture.

Children's book

The Children's Department of the State draft, created in Petrograd at the end of 1924, was located in the Nevsky Ave., D.28, in the house of the "Zinger". He was headed by two editor, literary and artistic: S. Ya. Marshak and V. V. Lebedev. Together, they set themselves the goal of creating a fundamentally new children's artistic book. Over the years of their work, a new children's book appeared in the publishing house, having a completely different form and another appointment than the 19th century children's book.

The sample of the artistic form of a new children's book of criticism is considered lithographic books of Russian futurists of the 1910s. The authors of these books abandoned the typographic set and applied lithographic techniques, common to text and illustrations. The Russian lithographic book is a unique phenomenon in the book art of the 20th century, which has no analogues in the West. Artists - M. F. Larionov, N. S. Goncharova, O. V. Rozanova, P. N. Filonov - relied in their lithographic books on the tradition of ancient Russian handwritten books and folk lubok.

Lithographic books released in Petrograd in 1918-1919. Book Print Artel "Today." With which artists were collaborated by V. M. Ermolaeva and N. F. Lapshin .. a significant role in creating a children's book of the 1920s. It belongs to the private publishing house "Rainbow", headed by a journalist known to the journalist L. M. Klyachko. He and attracted to the Publishing House K. I. Chukovsky and S. Ya. Marshak, who did not watch the poems for children. The publishing house collaborated, mainly artists, close circle of the "Art World": S. Chekhonin, N. Kuzmin, Yu. Annenkov, M. Dobzhinsky, V. Konashevich, B. Kustodiev, E. Kruglikova, M. Czechanovsky. It was in this publishing house that the first "new" book was published - "Elephant" R. Kipling, translated by K. Chukovsky with the illustrations of V. V. Lebedev. This modest book was highly appreciated by N. N. Punin.

The most famous books illustrated by V. Lebedev are, first of all, books written by the poet Samuel Marshak: "Circus", "ice cream", "Tale of a stupid little mouse", "Mustache striped", "Multicolored book", "Twelve months ", "Baggage".

As a master, Lebedev made a huge contribution to the development of the artistic design of the children's book, in composite and visual techniques and funds, and supported a completely new attitude towards the content of the children's book. S. Ya. Marshak attracted to cooperation in the new publishing house of such writers and poets, like Alexander Vvedensky, Daniel Harms, Nikolai Oleinikov, Korean Chukovsky, L. Panteleev, Boris Zhtkov, Yevgeny Schwartz, Vitaly Bianki, Nikolay Tikhonov, Mikhail Zoschtenko, Olga Bergholts , Veniamin Cavery and others. The special merit of writers and artists was also the creation of a new literary genre - "educational" books for children.

In September 1933, on the basis of this department and children's sector, the "Young Guard" publishing house was created by the Publishing House "Children's Literature", originally called "Detgiz" (Children's State Publishing House); His editors also became S. Ya. Marshak and V. V. Lebedev.

Artists of children's book

A unique feature of the era of the late 1920-30s. It was that many artists of the Russian avant-garde at this time were looking for opportunities to earn out of their main, pictorial work, and willingly went to the publishing house to work with Lebedev. Everything, without exception, wonderful masters of the book were large painters or charts that managed to make achievements of their own painting and drawing in the channel of the book specifics. The only condition that set the editor's Lebedev is that the book is a single, solid and structurally solved organism. "Now all artists who are able to work in the book work on the book, that is, to create clear and convincing images," said Lebedev.

Vera Yermolaev, Nikolai Lapshina and Nikolai Tyrsa Lebedev considered his comrades.

Around Lebedev united artists not just different, but even opposite, sometimes nothing to do with each other: Peter Sokolov Vladimir Tatlin, Alexander Samokhvalov, Eduard Budogenic, Henry Levin, Nikolay Radlov, Viktor Zamiylohlo, Lev Yudin, Vladimir Sterligov, Eduard, Elena Safonova, Alice Route, Tatyana Glebova, Pavel Kondratyev, Konstantin Rudakov, Vladimir Tamba, Pavel Basmanov, Yuri Radynev. From the artists of the former circle Lebedev collaborated with Vladimir Konashevich and Dmitry Mitrichin.

School Lebedev

V. V. Lebedev, already experienced by that time the artist created in the twentieth-thirties his own "Lebedev school". He began to study young artists in the book, many of them were talented painters: Alexey Pakhomov, Yury Vasnetsov, Yevgeny Charushin, Valentin Kurdov, who had many, including Yevgeny Evenbach, Tatyana Shishmayv.

"All these masters who worked many not only in the chart, but also in the easel painting, called their creative method" picturesque realism ", understanding under this term art of appeal to real surrounding reality, it is from her drawing its topics and images .. Only on the tradition of critical realism of the 19th century, and the extensive experience and achievements of the entire new and modern artistic culture of both Russian and Western European ... could be called "graphic realism" the creative course, formed then in the environment of the masters of children's illustrated book worked Under the leadership of V.V. Lebedev, N.A. Tyrsi and N.F. Lapshina in the artistic version of the children's office of the State draft. " Aesthetics "Graphic Realism" was evolved not only from the artistic technique.

It united many artists included in the process of the formation and development of a children's book in the Leningrad chart of 1920-1930s.

Creation

For most books Lebedev, his posters for the "windows" of growth were the source and creative impulse. "The artist saw a poster as the art of a large form, a concise artistic language, strict structurality and plastic simplicity of fine elements leading to the impression of monumentality." Engraving posters and paint them from hand, Lebedev was repelled from the traditions of Russian folk lubka; But at the same time, he immediately rejected any stylization and fake under the lubok. Communication with Lubcom remained, but as a "connection of continuity or organic growth." In the work of Lebedev "The new form and the old artistic tradition was fused." Found by the artist concise, geometrically generalized drawing was transferred to them and in the children's book, in addition, "he first used the font among artists as a means of expressiveness."

Tirst, who made the artistic environment for him necessary for each artist. Lapshin and Tyrs were fond of French art; Also, Lebedev was passionate about Syra, Picasso, later Renoir and Eduar Man.

"Each of these still lifes is a small world, living with its specific concreteness, then ridiculous, then lyric, then with a light touch of a cheerful irony. Still life with a guitar, lemons and sinks can serve as a model brilliantly carried out work on the organization of the picturesque space. Color and its masonry, and Not an air or linear perspective, builds spatial oscillations of objects within a very narrow, as if clamped between two parallel planes of the distance - a sensation close to the sign. The material feeling of the thing here was carried out with the maximum tension, the color laying was carried out with a large wealth and a variety of receptions "(faith Anikueva).

Female Portraits In The Art of Soviet Painter and Graphic Artist Vladimir Lebedev (1891-1967) - Find The English Text Under the Pictures

Rus: Vladimir Vasilyevich Lebedev (1891- 1967) - Russian Soviet artist, recognized wizard poster, book and magazine illustration. Lebedev entered the history of domestic art primarily as the founder and classic of Soviet graphics.

In 1920-30, the artist created a lot of machine graphic works that became the classics of the Leningrad art of the time: Series on "household" topics - "Brats" (1920-1925, Guaashi, Appliques), Series "Revolution Panel" (1922, Mascara ), Series "NEP" and "New Life" (mid-1920s); Sensions of drawings with pencil and carcass - "Software", "Ballerina", "Acrobatki"; Picturesque work - "Still-life with a palette" (1919), "Coffee pot, spoon, a mug" (1920), "saw and board" (1920), "Worker" (1920-21), a series of "counter-terminals" (1920- 1921).

Glory to the master brought illustrations for children's books, primarily to the writings of S.Ya. Marshak: "Ice cream", "yesterday and today", "About a stupid little face", "Circus" (all - 1925), "Bagg" (1926), "Mr. Twister" (1933), "Kids in a cage" (1952) .

From the late 1920s. and until 1957 the artist created a large number female portraits, including: "Portrait of an artist N. S. Nadezhdina" (1927), "Girl with a jug" (1928), "Software with Mandolina" (Malvina Stern; 1927), Portrait of an artist Nina Noskovich (1934, also known as a portrait Nina Reznoshnoe), and others. The painting of Lebedev in the 1920s was determined in many ways to the french art: Picasso, Renoir, Mana.

Although, according to the artist itself, the drawing is a more significant part of his creativity than painting, the picturesque paintings of Lebedev are genuine pearls of the artistic heritage of the master. The artist's works are stored in the Tretyakov Gallery, the Russian Museum, GMI them. A.S. Pushkin, in many museum and private collections of Russia and a number of foreign countries.

Since 1934, a series of Lebedev's female portraits began to grow. They constitute a series, in many respects similar to early graphic cycles, such as "acrobatki" and "dancers". Each portrait is like a link in the chain of experiments aimed at creative comprehension and emotional interpretation of the image of a modern woman. Examples taken out of the chain cannot give the ideas about Lebedev's painting. Any separate work is a conscientious realistic etude, in which there is no other task, except for the truthful reconstruction of nature.(From the book: Petrov V. Vladimir Vasilyevich Lebedev. - L., 1972. - P. 202-213.)
