The artist calls red his favorite color. And he claims to have found more than fifty variations of this shade!

“Red is a very strong color. It can be festive and tragic. The entire emotional palette is in this one color. I have always been interested in how colors can be used to convey what you are experiencing. The palette is just a set of shades, behind which there are real feelings or the lack thereof.”

Once Anatoly Krivolap burned about two thousand of his sketches. Here is how the artist himself tells about this story:

“In two days I burned about two thousand of my sketches. All of them are written on cardboard. You can’t even call them paintings; many remained unfinished. He deliberately painted on cardboard, knowing that no one would buy such works - galleries did not accept them, collectors were not interested in them. Only my Pole bought it. But I needed to train and grow. Now that I have become noticeable, I want only the best things to remain after me. Why sell the stages of your formation, such as half Crookedfoot? Then I decided to burn everything. He burned for two days, starting a fire in his own area. And my grandson brought me work in a wheelbarrow. Only a small part of those paintings remains. But when I have time, I’ll sleep them too.”

“Mystery is hard labor. I work 365 days a day and I can’t live without it. This is the award of share, karma, virok, adjective. And you’re not going anywhere. I want to bask on the beach, lie by the grass, hearing how tall it is, I want to marvel at how gloomy the sky floats, I want to be quiet, have fun, get together in company, without having to worry about going to school to learn something. And then I think: I still want to earn something myself. The thought is unbearable!

Odessa resident Alexander Roytburd became famous all over the world in 2009.

“I have a lot of readers. Our dads are in front of us. Father's love is a headache for creativity. If I only thought about becoming an artist and borrowed all sorts of books from libraries, then Tetyana Yablonska was everything to me. I never suspected that I would read into it. We learned both professional skills and specialties from these hands. Diligence, from morning until evening, work in the mine, love and drink. The process will begin until the rest of my days. Until now I love Rembrandt. I respect him as one of the most important stages of light mysticism. If Velazquez’s “Portrait of the Infantie Margarita” had not been produced in Kiev, my creative path would have been known very differently.”

- a fan of bright realistic painting. The artist writes his works about the world around him - about what is understandable and close to everyone. In 2009, at the auction of Phillips de Pury & Company, his “Battleship” was bought for 35 thousand dollars.

Sergey Vasilkovsky(1854-1917) - one of the leading Ukrainian artists late XIX- beginning of the 20th century. He was born onKharkov region in the family of a clerk. He received his initial creative skills from his parents and grandfather. His father revealed to him the beauty and expressiveness of calligraphy, his mother - love for folk songs and folklore, and his grandfather, a descendant of a Cossack family, instilled in his grandson an interest in ancient Ukrainian customs and traditions.

The environment and surroundings contributed to the fact that Sergei began to manifest creative nature: He was fond of music, sang and drew. The boy received more thorough knowledge of drawing at the Second Kharkov Gymnasium from the gymnasium drawing teacher Dmitry Bezperchy, a student of Karl Bryullov himself. He did various sketches, and even drew caricatures of his teachers, for which he apparently got into trouble.Since his parents, people of old views and traditions, saw the future well-being of their son in public service, then at the insistence of his father, young Sergei entered the Kharkov Veterinary School. After two years of studying at the school, he left it and went to work as a clerical employee in the Kharkov Treasury. This unloved activity weighed heavily on the creative personality, and Sergei told his father that he was leaving his job and leaving for St. Petersburg to enter the Academy of Arts. To which the father replied: if he leaves his position, then let him know that he does not have a father, since he will no longer consider him a son. Despite a letter with a “curse” from his father, 22-year-old Sergei left his government position and in 1876 entered the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts.Vasilkovsky will study at the academy for nine years. First he visits general classes, and then moves to the landscape workshop of academicians Mikhail Klodt and Vladimir Orlovsky. He had little money and, feeling the need, was forced to earn a living: either working as a “retoucher” in light painting, or copying drawings for sale.

Despite financial difficulties, his studies at the academy went quite successfully, and after three years Sergei Ivanovich received a small silver medal for a landscape sketch from life, and after another two years, a second small silver medal.



His great artistic talent progressed more and more in the subsequent years of his studies.



In 1883, all summer, Sergei Ivanovich worked a lot in Ukraine, drawing original landscape sketches, full of creative inspiration and youthful romance: “Spring in Ukraine”, “In Summer”, “Stone Beam”, “On the Outskirts” and others, with the intention of representing them to compete for a gold medal at an academic exhibition.


Next year, for the painting “Morning” Vasilkovsky receives a small gold medal. And a year later, for completing the diploma work of art“On the Donets”, is awarded a large gold medal, and receives the right to travel abroad as a pensioner of the academy.

At that time, this word did not mean elderly people, but talented young people who were sent to study abroad for many years, paying them a significant stipend (“pension”).

In March 1886 Vasilkovsky went on a retirement trip to Western Europe- France, England, Spain, Italy and Germany. When I worked and studied in France, I became close to the “Barbizonians,” whose work created a feeling of high spirits in the viewer and made them see poetry and real beauty in the surrounding nature.During his European tour, the Ukrainian artist creates delightful landscape works: “Morning in Besançon”, “Bois de Boulogne in winter”, “Partridge hunting in Normandy”, “Typical Breton manor”, ​​“View in the Pyrenees”, “After the rain (Spain) ", "Neighborhoods of San Sebastiano", " Winter evening in the Pyrenees" and others.

After a business trip abroad, Sergei Ivanovich settled in Kharkov and, full of creative energy, undertook trips to his native Ukrainian villages and steppes.

With his artistic strokes of the brush, he creates delightful Ukrainian lyrical-epic landscapes: “Chumatsky Romodanovsky Way”, “Village Street”, “Sunset in Autumn”, “Winter Evening”, “Herd on the Outskirts of the Village”, “Mills” and many others .
