Essay based on Rylov’s painting Green Noise (description)

In the history of Russian art, Arkady Rylov is mentioned primarily as the author of the landscape “Green Noise”, despite the fact that he left behind a huge number of masterfully painted works. So what is it about this painting that sends all others into the background?

The painting was painted by the author in 1904. In this moment Russian empire already fought in the open spaces Russian-Japanese War, a revolutionary coup was brewing nearby, the mentality of the Russian people was radically changing. A storm of contradictions was ready to seize and overturn the entire country.

And Rylov, in these terrible moments, begins to write his future masterpiece. He portrays landscape sketch Vyatka, the city on the way to which Arkady was born. This place where future artist Having grown up and become stronger, Rylov dedicated his work to nature, dear to his heart, and to carefree days.

The artist came up with the idea of ​​creating such a painting in 1902. From that moment on, he began to make sketches during trips to hometown, spent a lot of time in the workshop, remembering the first years of his life, playful games with friends and walks along the river with his parents. As a result, two years later, Rylov’s brush produced a painting called “Green Noise” by the author.

The foreground of the work depicts slender birch trees and an old oak tree. A strong wind is blowing, bending the trunks of birch trees, forcing them to bow low to Mother Earth. Even an oak tree that has lived for many years cannot cope with the gusts. strong wind and directs its crown into the wind, slightly lowering the branches.

A dark blue river is visible in the background. Several sailboats are hurrying along its surface. They are probably trying to reach the shore as quickly as possible and hide from the approaching hurricane.

Huge clouds have appeared in the sky, ready to rain over the green endless fields. Although the distance is still pristinely clear. There is no sign of an approaching storm.

Nature in motion, in resistance and at the same moment of submission, is unique and majestic. It seems that everyone looking at the canvas will not only admire the beauty of Russian nature, but will also feel the flow of a powerful wind and drops of the beginning of a downpour, hear the sound of the howling wind and the trembling of tree leaves. It becomes clear why the picture is named this way.

An important role in the emotional perception of the picture was played by a very close green foreground, which is contrasted with the azure distance. Thanks to the strong active brush strokes of the author, a real feeling of wind is created when painting the canvas.

Arkady Rylov managed to do the impossible. On his canvas, he was able to convey all the beauty of the vast Russian nature, everything that was combined in it: good and evil, peace and movement, different tones and colors. It can rightfully be called a masterpiece.

"Green Noise"

Work based on a painting by Arkady Rylov

...There is no nature separate from us,
every slight movement of air
is the movement of our own life.

I.A. Bunin

In 1862 N.A. Nekrasov created his poetic masterpiece “Green Noise”. What does this mean - “green noise”? As if anticipating this question, the poet made a note: “this is what people call the awakening of nature in spring.” And today, almost a century and a half later, “green noise” sounds like a song about the awakening of nature and all the best that for the time being sleeps or lurks in the human soul.

The Green Noise goes on and on,
Green Noise, spring noise!

Playfully, disperses
Suddenly a riding wind:
The alder bushes will shake,
Will raise flower dust,
Like a cloud: everything is green,
Both air and water!

The Green Noise goes on and on,
Green Noise, spring noise!

Like drenched in milk,
There are cherry orchards,
They make a quiet noise;
Warmed by the warm sun,
Happy people making noise
Pine forests;
And next to it there is new greenery
They babble a new song
And the pale-leaved linden,
And a white birch tree
With a green braid!
A small reed makes noise,
The tall maple tree is noisy...
They make a new noise
In a new, spring way.

The Green Noise goes on and on,
Green Noise, spring noise!

In Russia, these Nekrasov poems were not only loved, many knew them by heart. Years passed, and in 1904 the artist Arkady Rylov completed the painting, which placed him among the best landscape painters in the country. In his “Memoirs” he wrote: “... I lived in the summer on the steep, high bank of the Vyatka, birch trees rustled under the windows all day long, calming down only in the evening; a wide river flowed; I could see the distance with lakes and forests... When I arrived in St. Petersburg, this “Green Noise” remained in my ears... I worked a lot on this motif... trying to convey my feeling from the spring noise of birches... »

What a Russian, what a dear tree - birch! No other tree contains so many national concepts or gives rise to so many images and comparisons. Birch is truly a peasant tree. It has everything: a whitewashed hut, a Russian stove, a colorful homespun rug, a woman’s cotton scarf, a canvas shirt, a pockmarked chicken, and even milk. The gnarled trunks of birch trees look like calloused peasant hands that can do any job. And thin and slender green-spiked birches, as if on tiptoe, rising towards the blue spring sky, resemble a girl’s round dance.

Rylov showed his painting to his friends. And there: the green crowns of birch trees easily soared over the river, which flows through the emerald kingdom slowly and, it seems, completely silently. The playful waves became silent. Fluffy spruce paws, casting shaggy shadows, look into the mirror of the waters. A free breeze flies over a wide distance. So he picked up the thin flexible branches - and the leaves fluttered, began to speak, rustled, and darted about in a bizarre scattering in the azure sky. In the heights the white lace of a gentle cloud melts, lamb clouds float by... Everything moves, lives, rejoices in freedom and light, enjoys the boundless space. The bright spring greenery of the high bank, the river in the glare of the sun - how nice and free it is here in the spring!

Nekrasov’s lines, which sound like a declaration of love, fit perfectly here:

...But I love, golden spring,
Your continuous, miraculously mixed noise;
You rejoice, without stopping for a moment,
Like a child, without care or thoughts,
In the charm of happiness and glory,
You are completely devoted to the feeling of life, -
The green grasses are whispering something,
The wave flows talkatively...

Over the hills, through the forests, over the valley
The birds of the north fly and scream,
You can hear the song of a nightingale at once
And discordant squeaks gabble...
The cry of frogs, the buzzing of wasps...
Everything merged into the harmony of life...

N. Nekrasov . My heart breaks with agony...

Having seen the picture, Rylov’s friend, the artist Bogaevsky, recited Nekrasov’s poem “Green Noise.” Better name it was impossible to imagine for the picture. So Nekrasov’s poems became forever related to one of best paintings Rylov, marking the flowering of his talent. Nowadays, one of the versions of Arkady Rylov’s painting “Green Noise” adorns the State Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, and the other - the State Russian Museum in St. Petersburg. I like the one in Tretyakov Gallery.

Let's turn over a few pages of the artist's book of life. Arkady Aleksandrovich Rylov was born on January 29, 1870. His childhood and youth were spent in the north. The family lived in Vyatka, located on the banks of a wide, high-water river with the same name. The land of forests, lakes and rivers captivated the artist with its beauty and majesty. Rylov fell in love with nature passionately and for the rest of his life. He could wander through forests and meadows all day long, sit for hours by the water, watching some water hen splash its paws on the coastal mud, watch for a long time a fluffy fussing squirrel...

A lot can be said about Rylov’s love for nature. But I will just remind you of one fact that will allow everyone to draw their own conclusions. The artist had a tabletop zoo at home, where its inhabitants - monkeys, squirrels, birds - walked. The animals were not afraid of Arkady Alexandrovich. The artist captured this touching trust of “our little brothers” in “Self-Portrait with a Squirrel.” The fluffy guest settled calmly and comfortably on a kind, gentle hand!

Rylov was educated at the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts. He was lucky enough to work in the workshop famous landscape painter Arkhip Ivanovich Kuindzhi. He experienced the strong influence not only of creativity, but also of the personality of his mentor. Kuindzhi was a born enthusiastic teacher who selflessly loved young people and his work. He constantly looked after his pets, helped financially poor students, and used his own funds to take them to Crimea for summer practice and even abroad.

Kuindzhi paid a lot of attention to working in nature, which he considered the painter’s very first and serious teacher. He taught the art of seeing, feeling, understanding nature.

Artistic life V late XIX- early 20th century was difficult. Various associations of artists organized their exhibitions. Their participants often differed in their views on the tasks and role of art, on the goals of creativity. But Rylov’s sincere, poetic art, inspired by a tender love for nature, was accepted everywhere: his paintings could be seen in the “Union of Russian Artists”, and at exhibitions of the “World of Art” association, and at “Spring” exhibitions organized by his teacher A. AND. Kuindzhi.

In the paintings painted after graduating from the academy, Rylov sought to convey the charm of the thoughtful, deep silence of the northern forest nature. These were a kind of “mood landscapes” characteristic of the work of many artists of those years.

Having chosen the path of a landscape artist, Arkady Rylov retained the bright image of his teacher in his memory for the rest of his life and used his techniques in his own pedagogical work. As a professor at the Academy of Arts, and teaching at the drawing school of the Society for the Encouragement of Artists for almost his entire life, he lovingly nurtured young talents. The students remembered him kind words. They forever remembered his behest: truth and beauty are sisters. The artist just needs to learn to see eternal harmony nature and labor, great labor, to achieve the expression of this beauty. The talented Russian landscape painter was also recognized by noisy Paris, which was considered a trendsetter in art. Rylov was elected a member of the honorary jury of the Paris Salon (exhibition). And not just, but with the right to exhibit your paintings there without prior discussion by the jury. On international exhibitions his works have been awarded gold medals more than once.

“Our Russian Grieg” is what his artist friend Mikhail Nesterov called Arkady Rylov. And rightly so. Because as in music Norwegian composer, who embodied the images of northern nature, a sensitive ear will catch the noise of mountain streams, the crystal ringing of ice floes, the roar of the wind in the gorges, and in Rylov’s paintings, deep, sonorous, rich color gives rise to images of Russian nature.

Rylov knew how to look especially poetically at the most ordinary pictures of nature, past which hundreds of people passed without noticing them: white parachutes of dandelions in a green meadow; blue rivers where reflections of clouds floating across the sky bathe; a nimble red squirrel jumping around the fluffy spruce branches; spring migration of birds; birches, their branches fluttering in the wind; deftly jumping in the corolla of the kupava sunny bunny... The artist was overwhelmed with impressions from what he saw. Hands reached for the brush, the brush for the canvas, and paintings were born about native nature, which means about native land.

Probably, the artist Rylov, with his paintings, wanted not only to “witness” and glorify the beauty and originality of his native nature, his native land, but also to remind that man is responsible for its preservation and prosperity. I will name just a few paintings by Arkady Rylov: “Sunset” (1917), “Thundering River” (1917), “Swans” (1920), “Green Lace”, “Seagulls. Quiet Evening" (1918), "Hot Day" (1922), "Forest River", "Self-Portrait with a Squirrel" (1934), "Green Noise" (1904), "In the Blue Expanse" (1918)...

One day, for the first time in his life, the artist saw white swans in freedom - beautiful, proud birds were making their spring migration. Nature endowed swans with an indomitable desire for light and warmth, gave these graceful creatures great power. The free flight of mighty white birds over the boundless northern sea captured the artist’s imagination for a long time. There was something epic about this spectacle. And in 1918, in one breath, he painted the painting “In the Blue Expanse.” It was a repetition of the painting “Flight of Swans over the Kama”, written by him in 1914, but this time in a major key. IN new picture the master achieved not only expressive laconicism artistic language, but also the symbolic sound of the image. Nowadays the painting “In the Blue Expanse” is in the State Tretyakov Gallery.

Blue-green waves crash onto the reddish rocks of a distant island. Sparkling snow glistens on the tops of the rocks. A light sailboat sways on the waves. And light clouds slowly float above the horizon in the delicate azure. The majestic and harsh northern nature greets the morning of a new day. White swans, as if bathing in crystal air, hover over the water, now descending, now rising towards the lilac curly clouds. With each flap of the mighty wings, gentle colored shadows fall on the snow-white plumage - and more and more new shades appear in the overall joyful range of golden-lilac and bluish-green tones. There is so much air in the picture that the viewer himself seems to feel the fresh breath of the wind. Smooth rhythm of movement and major coloring, which he managed to convey talented artist, composed a poetic song. White swans over the northern sea still evoke a feeling of joy, a feeling of vast space and light.

There are artists whose paintings are immediately recognized at exhibitions and are not forgotten for a long time. One of these artists is Arkady Aleksandrovich Rylov.

Homework(one of the options of students' choice).

I. Make a plan for a story on the topic “A Tale about the Artist Arkady Rylov” (written).
II. Give reasoned answers to the questions:

1. What, in your opinion, is evidenced by the desire of a landscape artist to glorify the beauty of his native nature?

(About love for your homeland, for nature is one of its components.)

2. Love the starry sky, the mirror surface forest lake, sunlit trees are easy because they are beautiful in themselves. Is it possible to admire and love a small river or a tree with gnarled branches?..

(Nekrasov in the poem “ Railway" wrote:
There is no ugliness in nature! And kochi,
And moss swamps and stumps -
Everything is fine under the moonlight,
Everywhere I recognize my native Rus'...

To love, for example, roads washed out by the thaw, as Fyodor Vasiliev loved them, can only be loved by a person who loves every inch of his native land. It’s no coincidence that people say: “It’s not good that’s good, but good that’s good.”.)

3. What means does the artist have in his arsenal to convey the meaning of the picture and mood?

(Plan - foreground or background, size, contrast, color, art of bringing tones together, rhythm, backstage technique...)

4. Is it possible, from your point of view, to judge a person’s relationship with nature - plants and animals? spiritual qualities and attitude towards people?

(It has long been noted that those who love and protect nature, plant flowers, shrubs and trees, take care of animals, as a rule, have a sympathetic attitude towards people. There is a moral and aesthetic pattern: a lover of nature is at the same time a lover of humanity. On the contrary, the one who senselessly destroys trees, birds, animals is also cruel towards people.)

5. How would you comment on Bernard Shaw’s statement: “We have learned to swim in water like fish. Fly in the sky like birds. All that remains is to learn to live on earth like people”?

6. Why do you think nature can be eternal source inspiration for landscape painters?

(Nature is “forever young”, cosmically boundless, changeable and diverse, it has many unsolved mysteries, touching which helps a person to know himself.)

Essay based on the painting by A. A. Rylov “ Green noise»

"I dedicated my art native landscape, because I love my country, I love its nature.”

A. A. Rylov

aesthetically educate students, broaden their horizons.

During the classes:

A story about an artist.

A. A. Rylov is a Russian landscape artist. A landscape artist creates landscapes and paintings in which nature is the main subject of the image. Among Russian landscape painters of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Rylov is one of the largest painters. In his works he glorified his native nature.

R. was born on January 30, 1870 in the village of Istobenskoye, not far from Vyatka (now the city of Istobensk Kirov region).

R. spent his childhood and youth among the Vyatka forests. His passion for hunting and travel allowed him to learn and love the harsh region early on. R. knew how to set a sail, loved to rush in a boat along a disheveled river, not afraid of the foaming waves, exposing his face to the wind. He and his friends went through the spring water into the forests to listen to the singing of birds and watch the awakening of nature. “Life by the fire, by the water, among wild, untouched nature, brought me up as a landscape artist,” the artist recalled.

R. developed an early attraction to art. He began to draw what he saw around him. These drawings were still simple, but the observation skills of the future artist were already visible in them.

Friends advised him to go study. Together with a friend R. went to St. Petersburg and first entered the school technical drawing, and then to the Academy of Arts, where he began to study with the famous Russian artist A. I. Kuindzhi. Kuindzhi taught R. that one should only draw impressions from nature, and only learn painting from it.

People who knew R. remembered him as a man with “blue, radiant eyes, with a clear, affectionate and kind smile.” He had a huge reserve of vigor and love of life.

Building his workshop in the middle of the forest or arranging a “piece of forest” in the middle of his workshop, he knew how to talk with the forest inhabitants. Sunrises and warblers, hares and squirrels understood and obeyed him. They lived for a long time in the artist’s studio, and he rewarded them for their friendship with freedom, letting them go into the forest in the spring.

The artist's attitude towards life is visible in his paintings. Looking at the mighty northern spruces, at the flying white clouds, at the fabulous forest streams and squirrels and birds curiously peeking from behind the branches, it seems that the artist is saying: “ Good morning! Good morning to the world!”

In 1935, A. A. Rylov was awarded the title of Honored Artist of the RSFSR.

Analysis of the picture.

The painting “Green Noise”, a reproduction of which you see on the board, is one of best works Russian landscape painting. Reproduction is...

Is it easy to understand a picture of nature?

Why isn't this a photograph?

It was not by chance that R. came up with the theme of the painting. R. really lived on the steep, high bank of the Vyatka, and birch trees rustled above his head, behind which a distance with lakes and forests opened up.

This painting is the result of enormous work; he redid it several times.

A true artist has the ability to awaken feelings and observations that our memory stores. Stopping attention, his paintings seem to speak to us. The still image comes to life and begins to move. The colors are reminiscent of the smells of the earth. The blue sky fills the air. The wind bends thin tree trunks, throws away young leaves, and it seems to make noise.

It flares up with renewed vigor, then the noise of the leaves subsides. And the artist calls the painting “Green Noise.”

Let's take a closer look at the picture. What do you remember now? (summer, sunny warm day, wind).

But in the picture we do not see the sun. How did you determine that the day was sunny? (clouds are brightly lit, high blue sky, bright green grass and foliage of trees, shadows fall from trees).

What is the composition of the painting? Composition is... What do we see in the foreground of the picture? (birch trees, they bend in the wind).

What's behind? (river, small boats with white inflated sails, the sky is light blue, lush white clouds float across it).

The two main colors are green and blue, but how many shades they have! What shades of green do you see? (light green foliage of young birches; dark green foliage of old birches, turning black in the shade; lush green grass).

What shades of blue are there in the picture? (the sky is dark blue at the top, very light at the horizon, and the water in the river is blue, sometimes very dark).

Is it a still image that we see in the painting?

How did the artist show this movement?

Why is the picture called “Green Noise”?

What we see in the picture is familiar to each of us. We saw the trees bending from the wind and heard their leaves rustling. But, looking at this landscape, we not only remember familiar images, we see something new, unfamiliar to us until now. Therefore, Rylov’s creativity brings us joy.

Essay based on the painting by A. A. Rylov “Green Noise”

The outstanding Russian artist Arkady Aleksandrovich Rylov was born in 1870. The artist spent his childhood and youth in the north, in Vyatka. A wide river flowed here, there were many forests and lakes. The beauty and harmony of nature delighted the young man. He wandered through the forest for a long time, observing the beauty and splendor of the surrounding world. Rylov studied at the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts and studied in the studio of the famous landscape painter Arkhip Ivanovich Kuindzhi.

It was Kuindzhi who had a significant influence on the formation of personality and worldview young artist. The works that Rylov wrote after graduation contained the charm of northern forest nature. These were “mood landscapes”, characteristic of the work of many artists.

The talented Russian artist Mikhail Vasilyevich Nesterov described Rylov as follows: “The beauty of Rylov’s paintings lay in their internal and external beauty, in their “musicality,” in quiet, caressing, or spontaneous, stormy experiences of nature. His mysterious forests They breathe with the noises of the forest inhabitants and live a special, enchanting life. Its seas, rivers, lakes, a clear sky promising a “bucket” for tomorrow, or a sky with clouds rushing somewhere - promises trouble - everything, everything in Rylov is in action, everything is dynamic - the joy of life replaces its drama. The dark forest is full of anxiety, the stormy banks of the Kama, perhaps, bring death to someone. We experience the autumn migration of birds across distant seas as a personal loss of clear days. Everything from Rylov is full of meaning, and nowhere, in any way, is he indifferent to meaning, to the ongoing mysteries of nature and its inhabitants. He sings, glorifies and magnifies the Motherland... Rylov is not just a “landscape painter”, he, like Vasiliev, like Levitan, is a deep, sincere poet. He is dear to us, he is dear to us, because nature releases the Rylovs very, very sparingly..."

During his life, Arkady Aleksandrovich Rylov created many amazing paintings. But the most famous of them are the landscapes “Green Noise” and “In the Blue Expanse”.

The painting “Green Noise” was painted in 1904. A. A. Rylov worked on this work for two years. During his work, the artist used the experience of observing nature, as well as sketches that he made in the vicinity of St. Petersburg and Vyatka. Three copies of this painting were created. The first is in the Russian Museum, the second in Moscow, in the Tretyakov Gallery. The third copy is in the Museum of Russian Art in Kyiv.

The picture attracted the attention of viewers with a riot of fresh bright colors. The artist depicted the forest in all its splendor. The artist himself wrote in his memoirs: “I worked a lot on this motif, rearranging and rewriting everything several times, trying to convey the feeling of the cheerful noise of birches, of the wide expanse of the river. I lived in the summer on the steep, high bank of the Vyatka, the birches rustled under the windows all day long, calming down only in the evening; a wide river flowed; Distances with lakes and forests could be seen. From there I went to the estate to visit my student. There, the alley of old birch trees, going from the house to the field, was also always noisy. I loved walking along it and writing and drawing these birches. When I arrived in St. Petersburg, this “green noise” remained in my ears...”

The story of how the painting was given its name is very interesting. When the work was ready, Rylov showed it famous artists Arkhip Ivanovich Kuindzhi and Konstantin Fedorovich Bogaevsky.

And when Bogaevsky first saw the picture, he began to recite Nekrasov’s poem “Green Noise.” So the film was given the name “Green Noise”. In fact, Nekrasov’s lines fit this canvas perfectly.

The Green Noise goes on and on,

Green Noise, spring noise!

Playfully, it disperses. Suddenly the riding wind:

The alder bushes will shake,

Will raise flower dust,

Like a cloud: everything is green,

Both air and water!

The Green Noise goes on and on,

Green Noise, spring noise!

Once the artist K.F. Bogaevsky jokingly said about the work: “The picture was painted by Arkady Aleksandrovich Rylov, and “Green Noise” is my invention.”

When we look at Rylov’s painting, we get the impression that we are standing on a hill, and a river opens in front of us, with boats with sails on it. There are many trees near the river. The day is clear and windy. The sky is clear, soft blue, with colorful clouds on it. They are illuminated by the sun's rays, so the clouds turn white, pink, and purple.

The foliage of the trees is also illuminated by the sun's rays. It shines and shimmers. It seems that the foliage moves, lives, trembles under the gusts of wind. Nature in the picture looks strong, alive and very harmonious. Strong winds cause trees to bend. It seems as if we hear the howling of the wind. Young birch trees look so fragile and defenseless. They are about to fly away to wherever the wind takes them. Mature trees look stronger. They have been standing for decades, they are strong and powerful. The wind is not scary for them.

Small boats rush along the wide dark blue river. The wind inflates the sails, and the boats rush somewhere into the distance. They seem so light and weightless.

The artist’s undoubted merit is that he knew how to show the poetry and beauty of the most ordinary pictures of nature. You need to have real talent as a painter to see and realize the harmony and splendor of landscapes. Impressions that go unnoticed by most people are of great importance to a true artist.

Arkady Aleksandrovich Rylov is one of the outstanding and famous Russian landscape painters. His mood landscapes have repeatedly surprised not only art lovers, but also the creators themselves. Having lived in the North for many years, he put his love for these places into his paintings. His painting “Green Noise” brought great delight and fame to the author.

Work on this painting lasted two years. The author created three copies of such raging beauty. All of them occupy places of honor in the Russian Museum, the Tretyakov Gallery and the Kiev Museum of Russian Art.

The first impression that is created when looking at the picture is that it is bright. Rich green and blue colors amaze their people with violence. Even a blue sky with white clouds glows with brightness and contrast. The author showed us a hill near the river. A small green clearing among mighty trees opens beautiful view onto a winding river with white sails. But the trees attract the most attention. They move just like that in the picture from the strong wind. Their branches are tilted in one direction or the other, creating the impression of sounding noise. The author observed all these beauties in his native land. He wanted to convey not only the beauty of nature, but also its character and sound.

When you look at this work, you get the impression that you are looking out the window, inhaling Fresh air, feel the aroma of nature and hear its song. This is amazing.
