Baksheev blue spring. Compiling a story based on a painting by V.N. Baksheev "Blue Spring"

Famous landscape painter is Vasily Baksheev. The artist is in love with the Russian forest and its beauty. He loved to paint nature in different times of the year.

Simple concept

A deciduous forest without birches would be incomplete. The painting "Blue Spring" shows mid-April. The foliage has not yet blossomed, but the air around is saturated with warmth. Nature is gradually coming to life. You can literally smell last year's autumn leaves that remained on the ground. But at the same time, the aroma of young leaves and grass bursts in.

There are no features in the landscape. The author professionally conveyed the beauty of the birch grove. The forest was captured on a fine spring day. The warmth is indicated by the shadows of the trees, which appear due to the sun. Water flows along the ground. These remnants of snow melt and go into the ground. The highlight of the canvas lies in the sky. Only in spring does the horizon have such a rich blue color. This palette says that life goes on, everything around comes to life. Warmth promotes greening of trees. It’s too early for full-fledged leaves, but the first buds have already appeared. Can be seen on the picture is easy a green haze, which indicates that the leaves will soon bloom.

Paint paintings

Vasily Baksheev gave preference to a light palette in his work. The artist practically did not use dark tones. This is what made it possible to convey the onset of spring and create a festive atmosphere. The sky is painted with soft azure, the grass is pleasantly green and against this background the trunks of birch trees turn white. All transitions are as smooth as possible, there is no contrast. The author successfully selected the colors to convey the right atmosphere.

In the background, the trees have merged into a single beige spot. In the foreground the plantings are not so dense. Behind the birch trees you can see several green spruce trees. They successfully complement Russian beauties. The concept of the canvas has no complications. The path goes deep into the forest. It creates the perspective of the painting.

It is not easy to convey emerging life with paint. But Baksheev’s painting managed to show the viewer the spring season, its joy and trepidation. The picture is simple and clear, without complex contrasts and secret meaning. It evokes calm and motivates to do good. Perhaps, between the birch trees, the artist concluded his own love of life and ageless ardor.

The purpose of the lesson: prepare to write an essay.

Nature's clear smile

Through a dream he meets morning of the year,

The skies are blue and shining.

F. Tyutchev.

I . introduction teachers. Conversation.

Today we will talk about spring.

What are the first signs of spring in nature?

What do poets, artists, and musicians call spring? What poetic epithets do the people bestow upon her? (Morning of the year, blue spring, red spring).

Task: today we will prepare for an essay on a painting dedicated to this topic.

II . Listening to a fragment of E. Grieg’s play “Morning”.

Why did I choose this particular piece by Grieg as the musical epigraph for the lesson? (The light, gentle nature of the melody, the feeling of awakening happiness, nature gradually comes to life, is filled with vital juices).

III . Work from a painting.

Let's look at reproductions of Gerasimov's paintings "The Ice Has Gone" and Baksheev's "Blue Spring".

Their theme is common, but the pictures of spring are shown differently.

Determine what the tonality of these paintings is.

(Gerasimov - early spring: There is still snow here and there, bare trees, hills, earth. The sky is cloudy and grayish in color. The general tone of the picture is gray. This picture is associated with the opening fragment of Grieg's play).

(Baksheev’s painting depicts awakening spring. The general tone of the picture is blue: blue sky, bluish birch trunks, bluish shadows on the grass. White birch trunks are like streams against the sky. This is the blossoming of spring, but not full spring yet).

This is how M. Prishvin describes the spring of this time:

“Our spring begins with an increase in light.

January, February, early March - this is all the spring of light... Yes, happy is the one who can catch the beginning of the spring of light, grass, forest, spring of man.

When after snowy winter the spring of light will flare up, all the people near the earth are worried, everyone is faced with the question of how spring will go this year - and every year spring comes different from last year, and one spring is never exactly the same as another.”

Why does Prishvin put the spring of light, grass, forests and the spring of man on a par?

Why is no spring similar to another, is it not exactly the same as another? (a person grows, his perception of nature also changes).

We see how Gerasimov and Baksheev saw spring differently.

Which of the two paintings will we choose to work on?

Painting by Vasily Nikolaevich Baksheev. This is what the artist himself says about the melody of nature that evoked in him the idea of ​​the painting “Blue Spring”. Pay attention to the details the artist notices:

"Spring. There is no snow anywhere, the ground is almost dry. Everything is filled with warm air. It smells like rotten leaves, and here and there green grass grows through; On the sides of the country road along which I was walking, willow bushes were blooming, emitting a sweet, honey smell... Birds singing could be heard all around.

The openwork tops of birch trees, painted pinkish-yellow, with their buds in full bloom, are fancifully drawn against the blue background of the sky; The bluish-purple shadows from the trees stretch and intertwine with each other across the damp ground. Everything is filled with the warm light of the spring sun. There is so much joy of life in this awakening of nature!”

And here’s what the artist’s friend, who wrote a book about him, writes about the painting:

“The most important thing is the blue background of the sky. The whole picture is permeated with his alluring charm. It is like a symphonic poem and creates a special sound for the landscape.

You look at this picture, and before you rises the blue spring of not only this particular corner of nature, but the spring of the entire earth, all its vast expanses. And the eye involuntarily, of itself, embraces the entire immeasurable sea of ​​the sky, and all this rotten earth with spring shadows, and all the lace of birch trees stretching upward. The first feeling from “Blue Spring” is that the birches in the picture seem to be growing before your eyes, rushing upward.

Baksheev’s “Blue Spring” is perceived as the embodiment of a huge human dream.

What details in their statements did you notice? (Tone, slender birch trees, space)

IV . Preparing for an essay. Essay based on Baksheev’s painting “Blue Spring”. Title: “Hello, morning of the year,” “On the paths of the spring forest.”

Objects of description: spring, Birch Grove, thin white trunks, sky blue, light, transparent shadows, air, melody, lace of shadows, the joy of awakening.

Vasily Nikolaevich Baksheev (1862 – 1957)

The paintings of Vasily Nikolaevich Baksheev (1862 - 1957) attract people with their special clear silence, bright view of the world, and spiritual purity. The same age and classmate of Levitan, who lived a long and happy life creative life, he turned to the everyday and portrait genres, but gave preference to the landscape, recreating the complex and vibrant colors of nature.

Landscape and genre painter. Born in 1862 in Moscow. Studied from 1878 to 1888.

Baksheev is a wonderful master of writing outdoors. His palette is restrained, but this does not prevent him from conveying the finest, unique shades and transitions of tones. Baksheev’s landscapes attract with their special silence and spiritual purity.

Russian artist Vasily Baksheev painted landscapes and paintings of the everyday genre. He studied at the Moscow School of Painting with the most famous masters landscape second half of the 19th century century - Alexey Savrasov, the author of the painting “The Rooks Have Arrived”, and Vasily Polenov - “Moscow Courtyard”. And he learned from them not only the art of painting, but also the love of Russian nature.

Of all the seasons, Baksheev loved spring most of all and depicted in his landscapes the best, brightest moments of the awakening of nature after winter sleep. Here is the painting "Blue Spring". It’s clear why the artist gave it such a name - the blue color plays here main role. The bright sky gradually brightens in the distance, and the snow-white trunks of birches seem to dissolve in a foggy haze and appear soft pink. The snow has already melted, the ground has dried up. The path between the trees goes into the distance. It starts right from the edge of the picture, as if the artist is inviting us to take a walk through the friendly spring forest and breathe in the clean air.

Baksheev uses the same technique with a road leading into the landscape in another painting - "At the beginning of spring." There are even more colors and shades: brown, green, yellow, blue are mixed on the soil, beige colors. In the foreground there is a dark green spreading spruce, and the branches of birch trees shimmer in shades of pink and lilac. In the distance, if you look closely, you can see the village to which the road leads.

Baksheev also has summer landscapes. For example, painting "Harvest". It is both a landscape and an everyday genre. Now the grain harvest is harvested by machines, but at the end of the 19th century, when the picture was painted, peasants did it manually, cutting off the ears with special large semicircular knives - sickles.

Household paintings Baksheeva talk about the most ordinary life. Now the father and his father have finished their serious conversation. adult daughter - painting “Everyday Quarrel”, in which you can see the interior of a city apartment late XIX century - a samovar, a lamp with a green lampshade, embroidered tablecloths. Here the family has gathered for dinner, and the girl treats the dog, perched under the table. Baksheev is a good storyteller, and looking at his paintings, you can vividly imagine what life was like a hundred years ago.

When an artist paints a picture, he places objects in the foreground, middle and background, and this arrangement is subject to certain intentions.

And when I wrote a sketch, I tried to find the most characteristic in them, I wanted to find a spiritualizing principle in them, so that there was not only an external similarity, but that there was an internal content in them. I painted all my paintings based on what I saw in the life around me.”

"Spring. There is no snow anywhere, the ground is almost dry. Everything is filled with warm fragrant air. It smells like rotten leaves, green grass sprouts here and there; On the sides of the country road along which I was walking, willow bushes were blooming, emitting a sweet, honey-like smell. Birds singing could be heard all around. The openwork tops of birch trees with unblown buds, painted pinkish-yellow, are fancifully drawn against the blue background of the sky; The bluish-purple shadows of the trees stretch, intertwining with each other, across the wet ground. Everything is full warm light spring sun. There is so much joy of life in this awakening of nature. I wrote a sketch and based on it I began to paint the painting “Blue Spring”.

Homework

At home, write a descriptive essay based on the painting by V.N. Baksheev “Blue Spring”, using phrases and a plan written on the board.

Vasily Baksheev is one of those Russian landscape painters who quite often depicted beautiful forests and impenetrable thickets on their canvases, because they were the decoration of Russian lands. On his canvases the viewer can observe forest landscapes depicted at different times of the year. Of course, the spring sketch attracts the most attention, when the entire canvas is filled with thin and fragile birch trees.

The painting “Blue Spring” is precisely the canvas on which the landscape painter captured all the beauties of the coming spring. The forest has not yet fully awakened from hibernation. The trees are naked, the young leaves have not yet had time to be covered with branches and dressed in green outfits. Looking at the picture, the viewer seems to be transported into that thicket of the forest, feeling the humid, damp air, which reminds us of the smell of mushrooms.

The painting “Blue Spring” is very calm. There are no exciting events on it that could excite the author's attention. Before us is an ordinary, warm spring day. Forest landscape flooded sunlight, warm rays pierce through the branches of the trees and descend to the very ground. Forest paths are flooded with water. They appeared in the forest after heavy melting of snow.

However, this is not what attracts the viewer's attention. Much more we turn our gaze to the amazingly clear sky, filled with a radiant, blue hue. Looking at the landscape, we understand that winter is gone. And she won't be back soon.

The painting “Blue Spring” is filled with light, soft, warm shades. V. Baksheev does not resort to help dark shades, because he doesn’t see his work as gloomy and gloomy. He associates spring with new life, a new flow of strength and energy, a light that awakened nature after hibernation.
