Description of the painting by Fedor Reshetnikov “Boys. Composition based on the painting by F. P. Reshetnikov “Boys Description of the painting f grate boys

The artist Fyodor Reshetnikov was widely known for his various paintings at the time when he created a new canvas that interested many art lovers. In his works, he described children, showing that at any time, even after the war, the child remains himself. Therefore, he wants to enjoy life and the world that surrounds him. It is known that the painting "Boys" was written by Fedor Pavlovich in 1971.

This time the canvas of the artist Reshetnikov is divided into three parts. The painter gave the first and central part of the picture for the main characters, which were three boys dreaming about the future. They have long been attracted by space and the starry sky with their unsolved riddles, but now they have the opportunity to reveal at least some small secret of the vast starry space. Maybe this is how they were influenced by the lessons of astronomy, where they passed some constellations.

The night is quiet and calm, so the boys decided to use it for their experiments and discoveries. Secretly from their parents, they climbed onto the roof and began to observe what was happening in the night sky. These boys are depicted by the artist Fyodor Reshetnikov quite realistically. They are alive and bright, and the author of the picture captured them at the moment when, looking at the beautiful and dark night sky strewn with stars, they are trying to discuss something and tell each other, explaining and supplementing the stories. One of the boys, who is more passionate about the sky than the rest, leads a long and interesting story about what he himself recently learned. But on the other hand, he tells his comrades with great enthusiasm and delight.

This boy put his hand on the shoulder of one of his friends and, pointing with his other hand to the sky, where there are so many interesting things, he leads his inspired story. He's wearing a white shirt that matches his short dark hair perfectly. From his posture, inspired look and how confident he is in his story, you can understand that he knows much more about the starry sky, about mysterious galaxies, and indeed about the whole cosmos than the rest of the guys. But he stands out among the rest of the guys not only for his activity, knowledge, but also for his seriousness in his eyes. Probably, he not only listened well in the lessons, but also read a lot about astronomy in some special additional literature.

The second boy is standing next to a friend, and he slightly leaned his elbows on a low parapet. His friend's story interested him very much, so he continuously and, almost without blinking, looks at the starry and wonderful sky. His mouth is slightly open, most likely, something from what his friend tells, still surprised him. Maybe he is even a little scared, because he has never climbed so high before. That's why his hand clings so tightly to the railing. His hair is light and silky. The child is dressed in dark clothes, and a clean and white T-shirt is visible from under the sweater.

No less interesting is the third hero of the painting by Fyodor Reshetnikov. This is also a short boy who, standing on the roof next to his friends, dreams and thinks about something. His clothes are blue: a shirt and a vest. But only the vest is a bit small and cramped. His thoughtful face is turned towards him, and the boy decided to prop his head up a little with his hand. This is the pose of a real teenage dreamer.

These three boys, standing on the roof, do not notice anything around, but only see the night sky, which, by some unknown force, is so interesting and mysteriously dotted with stars. In their eyes, only interest and delight. But besides this sky around the boys there is a life that is also interesting and beautiful. And, probably, these boys ended up that evening on this dark roof of a large multi-storey building. Maybe they are even neighbors, and live in this very house. But, most likely, they are also best friends. Maybe they are even in the same class.

The big city slowly plunged into the dark embrace of the night and now sweetly fell asleep under the light and airy breath of the warm season. The city was already so asleep that it practically began to merge with the sky. And only small luminous lights are the light in some apartments of multi-storey buildings. The artist uses only dark colors and the same color shades to depict all three parts of his canvas: children, the starry sky and the night city. You can even say that the colors that Reshetnikov used in his canvas are muted and soft. And in the night city, bright lights have already lit up, which illuminate the streets.

The painting by the artist Fyodor Reshetnikov tells about the friendship of the guys, about their dreams and mood. Looking at them, the viewer also has a desire to look at the night sky in the evening, enjoy the brilliance of bright and sparkling stars, see how beautifully and quickly the star falls and make the most secret wish.

F. P. Reshetnikov was born on July 15, 1906 in the village of Sursko-Litovsky, Ekaterinoslav Governorate of the Russian Empire, in the family of an icon painter. He worked in the club of railway workers of the Grishino station in the Dnepropetrovsk region. He studied at the Workers' Faculty of Arts in Moscow, entered the Higher Artistic and Technical Workshops, where he studied in 1929-1934, in particular with D.S. Moor. Participated in the Arctic expedition on the Chelyuskin steamer. Active member of the Academy of Arts of the USSR since 1953, vice-president (since 1974). F. P. Reshetnikov's painting "Arrived for the holidays" (1948) is a kind of record holder.

Reshetnikov died on December 13, 1988. He was buried in Moscow at the Vagankovsky cemetery.

F.P. Reshetnikov "Boys"

Slide 14

Reshetnikov's painting "Boys" was created in 1971 and is also dedicated to children. Ten years have passed since the legendary first manned flight into space. All the boys dreamed of space and as one wanted to be like Yuri Gagarin. The picture shows three boys who, on an August night, climbed onto the roof of a multi-storey building to watch the starry sky. As you know, in August in central Russia it is very often possible to observe starfall and the boys, seeing another falling "star", try to make their most secret wish as soon as possible.
Summer night. Night city, only the windows of houses are burning, there is silence around, neither the voices of people, nor the noise of cars are heard. Three boys climbed onto the roof of a multi-storey building. They look at the starry sky with enthusiasm. All the guys are depicted in different poses, one lay down on the railing, the other just leaned on them, the third stands and points his finger up, and tells something about the constellations. He probably saw the constellation Ursa Major or found the North Star. But he talks so interestingly that his friends, opening their mouths, listen to him, they really like to look at the sky. Maybe the guys dream of becoming astronauts and imagine how, when they grow up, they will rise high up to an unfamiliar planet and study it. Maybe they think about who lives there, imagine and discuss these creatures. In the eyes of the boys, romance, dreaminess, a kind of fabulousness are read, they believe in a miracle, maybe they saw a shooting star and make a wish while it flies. At the moment, the boys are not interested in anything except the sky and stars, they are surrounded by a beautiful night city, but they do not look at it. The boys are so fascinated by the sky that they are not afraid of the height at which they are, and yet they are standing right at the edge of the roof. Meanwhile, burning windows resemble sparkling stars in the sky, and the blue-black sky seems like outer space. The picture is interesting, it gives the viewer to think out the picture, its plot, it is somewhat reminiscent of a fairy tale. It perfectly shows the enthusiasm of the guys. After watching it, I wanted to look at the starry sky and admire the amazing stars, and childhood memories flooded back, once I also dreamed of becoming an astronaut and flying into space.

F. Reshetnikov's paintings are varied. Among them there are works dedicated to children and childhood. These include the painting "Boys", written in 1971. It depicts three boys on the roof of the house, the sky is dark blue, the windows of the houses are burning brightly, the lanterns illuminate the streets. So it's late evening. The author uses dark, muted tones, there are no bright colors, the picture conveys calmness and tranquility. The picture can be divided into three parts: the upper part is occupied by the evening sky, the center is a city in lights, in the foreground are the boys. It seems to me that the characters in the picture are friends. The guys are about the same age, so perhaps they are classmates. And if at such a late time they are together, then they probably live in the house on the roof of which they are, they are neighbors. The guys came here to look at the starry sky, admire its beauty, find some kind of constellation. The boy is pointing at something. He probably read an interesting book about space, about space flights, about constellations, about satellites, and now he shares his knowledge with friends. The author emphasized his role with a white shirt, which stands out as a bright spot against the dark sky. He is a good storyteller: the other two boys listen to him with great interest. A boy standing nearby, head held high, holding on to the railing on the roof, stares wide-eyed at the sky. He was so captivated by the story that he opened his mouth and froze. Another boy is listening, leaning on some building on the roof. He is also interested, but he has completely different feelings. His gaze is dreamy, thoughtful, he admires the beauty of the starry sky. By the way the artist depicted the guys, one can tell about the character of each of them. They are completely different: the narrator is smart, well-read, serious, probably an excellent student; standing next to him - very impressionable, shy, quiet; the third boy is a romantic, a dreamer, probably an inventor. And they are interested in each other precisely because they are different. I really liked the picture. It seems that you yourself are on the roof with these guys. How I wish I had such friends!

Brief description of the painting Boys

Reshetnikov Fedor Pavlovich artist The artist F.P. Reshetnikov was very fond of painting on children's themes, which he had developed since the time of the Great Patriotic War. Often watching the game of teenagers in the "war". It was from that day that he began to increasingly depict children in his paintings in different life situations.

Reshetnikov places all the "dreamers" in the center of the picture. However, the boys are different in character, as evidenced by their postures. One teenager leaned completely on the parapet. His friend clings to the railing, yet the unusual height frightens him a little. The one in the middle, in a friendly manner, put his hand on the shoulder to the left of the standing one and tells what he read in some book just a few days ago. He points with his hand to some particularly bright star and possibly talks about it, with particular emphasis on its name. It gives him pleasure to feel some superiority over his comrades, which is so important at this age. The schoolboy tells with such enthusiasm that his friends, without stopping, look at the asterisk, which the narrator points to. They are a little jealous of him, because he knows so much about galaxies and planets. And he also dreams very much - to fly on a real spaceship, on which he will definitely accomplish a feat.

His friends are already imagining that they, of course, will fly to distant stars all together and will definitely visit this star, which is so different from others in this dark blue, like soft velvet, sky. Their eyes burn just like these stars, because the boys are sure that as adults they will contemplate the sky not from the height of a high-rise building, but through the porthole of an interplanetary space rocket. Below will be the earth illuminated by the sun's rays, and not the city sparkling with lights, merging with the sky, as if one whole.

In the painting Boys, the artist vividly depicts the state of enthusiasm, immersion in a dream, when everything around ceases to exist. It is these dreamers who, having matured, perform real feats, make great discoveries that allow humanity to move forward. Boys with undisguised delight and childish inquisitiveness of mind are directed to the future, which is already slowly revealing its secrets to them.

Around them is the city, plunged into the night and falling asleep in a misty haze. Reshetnikov conveys to us the state of these guys, awakening childhood memories in us. With a certain amount of nostalgia, we recall our dreams and secrets of the distant past. And these suddenly surging memories seem to give us wings and give us the strength to go to the end - towards the dream. After all, the more unrealistic the dream seems, the more interesting the path to it.

Fedor Pavlovich himself experienced all this during an expedition on the legendary Chelyuskin. It was a heroic epic in which the real character of the Russian people was manifested. And in this campaign, the same grown-up dreamers participated, about whom the whole world started talking back in 1934, admiring their courage.

Fedor Reshetnikov is an artist who painted in the style of socialist realism. The main characters of his paintings are often children. In his works, he shows all the beauty of a simple boyish soul, with all its sorrows and joys.

background

Reshetnikov's painting "Boys" is very interesting in its image. The description of this canvas is best to start with the history of its creation. In 1971, almost all the children of the Soviet Union dreamed of space, because ten years had passed since the first flight of Yuri Gagarin, and the development of unknown spaces was gaining momentum. The artist in his work shows all the passion of the children of that time.

Action picture

Reshetnikov's painting "Boys", the description of which I would like to start from the place where the guys meet, expresses the mystery and magic of the night sky. The action depicted in the picture takes place on the roof of a tall building. The boys are depicted in the center of the canvas, and behind them is a city falling asleep at dusk. A separate word about the sky is vast and mysterious, it occupies a large part of the picture and attracts the eye.

Three friends peer into unexplored outer space. It is enough to look at the poses of the boys to understand that they are very different in character. And their thoughts are different.

One of the guys is a dreamer - he leans on the parapet and looks at the sky with a thoughtful look. Thoughts about the unknown depths of space, other galaxies and the possibility of exploring these worlds are read in his eyes.

The older boy enthusiastically points to his younger comrade at some point in the night sky. This is how his story is heard about spaceships plowing the expanses of space, or about the discovery of a new star. And his friend is listening to his friend with enthusiasm. The surprise flickering on his face suggests that he will learn something new from the story of his comrade. And this new one captures all his simple boyish being. Reshetnikov's painting "Boys" is a description of the hopes and dreams of the children of a whole generation.

Afterword

Fedor Pavlovich Reshetnikov captured an entire era with his work - the era of social realism in the USSR. His paintings open the door to the world of honesty, openness, trust. At first glance, they seem ordinary, simple.

But it is worth taking a closer look, a closer look at the faces - and the cycle of thoughts, feelings, aspirations captures. Reshetnikov's painting "Boys", the description of which is given above, makes it possible to understand the interest in discoveries, and the desire for the unknown in a whole generation.

This artist has a lot of paintings, which he dedicated to the children's theme. For example, they include such masterpieces as “They took the tongue”, “I came for the holidays”, “Boys”. I would like to stop in more detail and consider the picture "Boys". She was drawn in 1971.

In the picture we see three boys, at night they climbed onto the roof, probably secretly from their parents. They look at the sky dotted with stars. One can imagine that they vied with each other to show each other the constellations and tell the secrets of the starry sky. Or maybe they are arguing about a star galaxy or other planets. Their faces express delight, with such enthusiasm they are looking for something there.

It seems that the guys do not notice anything that is happening around. I like this picture, it comes alive in my eyes. I want to be there, on the roof, next to the guys, and just like they discuss the night sky. And you can discuss not only the galaxy and planets, but also share your secrets and innermost secrets. And it doesn’t matter to us at all how the artist depicts the city, for us it merges with the starry sky, and to the fore, displacing the boys.

The artist managed to show the mystery of the starry night, especially in combination with children. You involuntarily remember yourself in the summer, how you loved to admire the sunset or sunrise with friends, and also make a wish when a star falls. Few people believe in this sign, but once I made a wish. I believe in the wonders of the starry night. Thanks to the author for his work, it made me plunge into the world of childhood, feel its carelessness. It seems to me that it is precisely such pictures that make us experience repeatedly the moments that connect us with childhood, give us the strength not to give up and move on.
