"But the look does not tear off the tale ..." - this is the description of the picture. Syromyatnikova "First Spectators" dedicated to Russia

The description of the picture "First Spectators" can be preceded by several lines about its author - Ekaterina Vasilyevna Syromyatnikova, who still lives in Moscow, and now she is 99 years old. The artist was born in 1914 in the city of Kharkov.

Glorious dynasty

A subtle master of landscape and still life, she transferred her talent to her daughter and grandchildren, forming a fine artistic dynasty. Her daughter and son-in-law are well-deserved
Artists of Russia. Grandmother, daughter (Kira Yuryevna Ryabinina, porcelain master) and granddaughter (artist Ekaterina Lukyanova) graduated from the Surikov Institute at different times. A wonderful, talented family. The works of these artists are readily bought, grandmother's paintings are completely in private domestic and foreign collections. Very little information about this wonderful artist can be gleaned from available sources, although in the 70s a catalog of her works was compiled. But also on the pictures accessible to familiarization - "View from the Vorobyovy Mountains", "Peonies" and "Room Flowers", one can judge the talent of the author. However, one of the most famous, because her reproduction is placed in a textbook for the 6th grade, many know. She is invited to write school essays. This is very similar to the picture of Fyodor Reshetnikov about the next deuce.

Painting in the room and paint, and a soft chair in the corner ...

You can start describing the picture. Syromyatnikova "First Spectators" wrote at the beginning of the creative path. Perhaps some artists of that period had a sense of peace and joy, but many canvases depicting genre scenes and relating to socialist realism are imbued with these feelings. The picture is familiar from childhood, but for some reason, when looking at it after a long time, the final frames of the film "Spring on Zarechnaya Street" were remembered. The same open window, the same abundance of air, the same birches outside the window, covered with young greenery, the same feeling that there is still much ahead of these guys ... Let's continue the description of the picture. Syromyatnikova "First Spectators" drew, obviously, at the dacha. Maybe in Peredelkino, and maybe in another area of the Moscow region. The time displayed on the canvas is the beginning of summer.

Possible scenario

The boys have a vacation. Most likely, they walked to the river with a familiar route. We can assume that every day they saw the open window, and behind him, in the back of the room - an artist drawing a picture, turned towards them by the butt. Of course, they were curious that the master found interest in the landscape, which he knew until the last leaf. And suddenly, one day, behind the open window something changed - the owner of the room is not there, and the cloth is turned towards them. It is natural to assume that, taking advantage of the moment, the guys came closer. A boy younger than age, interested in the room of the metropolitan guest, and his friend is shocked - in the picture they are depicted. Of course, this is a free description of the picture. Syromyatnikova "First Spectators" could not and did not devote to local residents. But the fact that the plot of the mysterious picture echoes the canvas of Catherine Vasilyevna, undoubtedly. The same silence, an abundance of fresh air, sun and greenery. In world painting, the open window is found quite often. There is a wonderful picture of the artist Andrew Wyeth "Wind from the Sea". A beautiful painting! But the window there is open to the American reality. And we have a suburbs.

Cloth giving joy

The picture is so good that it inspired the poet Igor Brumer to a subtle and lyrical poem "Picture. Room. Boys. " I want to bring it all in, but the article does not work. But not so often the canvases of artists are devoted to poetry. Especially artists who can not find anything, except that the cycle "Nude female figure" was completely sold out in Japan, where Soviet artists brought their paintings to the exhibition.

I want to continue and continue the description of the picture. Syromyatnikova "First Spectators" devoted to the artist's work. Looking at the canvas, and you see the master who finished the work, wiping his hand and smiling at his painting. And then the neighbor's boys go to the river. The artist immediately decides to check the reaction of the first audience, unfolds the canvas and hides. Elegant, clear, ironic and joyful picture "The first audience." Syromyatnikova did not portray passions in her paintings at all. It's good that the reproduction of this canvas is placed in the school textbook, and the children write essays on it.
