First lesson

Message of the topic and objectives of the lesson

Today we have a lesson in the development of speech, we will get acquainted with the painting of the Russian artist Ilya Ivanovich Mashkov "Strawberries and a white jug", carefully consider the picture, talk about it, and then write an essay.

Open page 9 of the collection of illustrations by L. Zelmanova and E. Kolokoltsev and look at the reproduction. (If students are not yet accustomed to the term genre, it can be replaced with the word view.) Try to determine which genre (type) of painting this picture belongs to.

Strawberries and a white pitcher.
State Tretyakov Gallery. Moscow

(prompt: the song of G. Gladkov "If you see in the picture ..." sounds.)

Remember and check the meaning of the word according to the explanatory dictionary still life... What genres of painting do you already know?

Addressing personal impressions

In preparation for this lesson, we have selected several reproductions of still lifes, and now, while you are looking at them, we will talk a little about still life. For the first time still life appeared in Holland at the beginning of the 17th century. These still lifes were usually small in size ("little Dutchmen"). Their distinctive feature is a dark, almost black background, as in one of the reproductions that you see.

Maybe someone will remember other still lifes that you saw in museums (in the Museum fine arts them. Pushkin, in the Hermitage, in Tretyakov Gallery and etc.). Look: what did the artists depict in their still lifes? Different artists can see the beauty of the most seemingly ordinary objects, which we often pass by without stopping. How an artist chooses a theme for a painting, how an idea for a painting is born is always a mystery. Why does one artist prefer to paint still lifes with fruits, and another - dishes, the third - flowers, the fourth - bread? Would you be interested to know how the Strawberry and White Jug still life was painted? Who could, besides the artist himself, tell us about this? Imagine that the artist's wife came to visit us.

STORY OF THE ARTIST'S WIFE *

I can tell you how the Strawberry and White Jug still life was painted. It was in 1913 when we had just returned from Italy and were full of impressions of the beautiful antique sculptures. The hot summer began, and we decided to spend it at the dacha of Ilya's grandmother, in a large old village house. I remember early morning, I wake up, and Ilya is gone. I think about making breakfast, take a jug of milk and go out into the room. I see an oval silver platter with strawberries on a large canvas-covered table. Someone has already harvested the morning harvest, I go to the table, inhale the unique aroma of strawberries. I put the jug next to me, choose the largest berries and start dividing: this one for me, this Ilya, this one for me, and this one for him again, I manage to eat one berry. At this time the door opened, Ilya entered and joyfully said: “Look what I brought! - He put a plate of black and white currants on the table. - What a currant was born! ". Behind his back he hid something else: "And this is for you!". And he held out a few currant twigs. There was always a small bouquet of forget-me-nots, rose hips or daisies on our dining table. And now I put currant twigs on the table. "Let's have breakfast!" I say. "Wait, look, what a beauty, I really want to write this!" It was a bit dark in the room, and I went to the window and drew back the curtain. "This is what you need." The rays of the sun lit up the berries and the jug, and they have volume. This is due to the play of light and shadow. Glare sparkled on the black currant berries, and the white currant just glowed in the sun like diamonds. Contrasts between objects intensified. “Look what wealth is just a scattering of jewels! I have to draw it! " For some time he chose what he would write. First he took up watercolors - no! The watercolor was too transparent for this still life. Then he took up pastels - colored dry crayons that we brought from Italy. No! Not that either. Pastels can convey many shades, but not contrasts. These will be oil paints! They are thicker. Ilya moved the easel, took a thick brush, a small canvas - and the birth of a miracle began. First, in the background, he painted a dark room and a platter of berries. Then, in the center of the picture, with quick wide strokes, he painted a plate, currant branches and a white jug. He smeared the marks of the smears on the jug with his finger: after all, a china jug is smooth, shiny and cold. Then large strawberries and occasional raspberries began to appear in the foreground, like artists on the foreground. The strawberries were brightly lit by the sun. Each berry seemed to play a role. “What would you call your painting? Probably "Currant Branches"! " - I suggested. “No, the main characters in my picture are strawberries and a jug. You know, the brilliance of the jug reminded me of ancient marble antique sculptures - slender, harmonious and cold. Strawberries are very lively, fresh from the ground. Fragrant, juicy, bringing so much joy to a person! A wonderful gift of nature! " Completed in an hour, the picture was all permeated with light.

All you have in your hands is a reproduction, a copy of a painting made by a typographic machine. Only the original can accurately convey the flavor of a still life. In fact, all colors are much brighter! This picture is 87 years old, a venerable age. (The artist put his signature on the bottom left and the date on back side canvas.) When I visit my beloved Tretyakov Gallery, I communicate with paintings as with my friends. I see a familiar still life from afar, mentally say hello, come up. Yes, it was in 1913, Ilya is 32 years old, a great time! We, young and happy, have just returned from Italy. With age, I began to notice one more thing: the mood of slight sadness in the picture. (Pause.)

Now let's return to the task of our lesson - to write an essay based on the painting by I. Mashkov.

Ivan Ivanovich Mashkov is known not only in the art world, but also to all lovers of painting. His work dates back to the early twentieth century, when many artists tried to reflect in their paintings the reality and the hard truth of life. But the painter Ivan Mashkov still preferred beautiful and magnificent still lifes, where the main central place was occupied by berries, porcelain figurines and flowers, as well as any other utensils that can often be found in a cozy home environment. But he showed all this, the most ordinary things to his viewers in such a way as to prove that even among the most ordinary and simple things, you can find something interesting.

The painting "Strawberries and a White Jug" was painted by the artist Ivan Mashkov in 1943. It is considered to be his most famous work. The skill of Ivan Ivanovich can be traced in his large strokes, which are saturated with color shades. Every painterly brushstroke talented artist conveys what the earth has so richly endowed us with.

The canvas by Ivan Mashkov depicts juicy and already ripe berries. The artist placed them in the foreground. Each strawberry is a whole story. They lie like this in the painting by Ivan Mashkov, as if they want to tell people about themselves, to inform that they are ripe and can be enjoyed. The artist Ivan Mashkov placed the two largest strawberries on the left, so that their ripeness and richness could manifest in all their glory under the bright sunlight.

Probably, on the left in a small room there is a window, from where bright sun rays seep in, falling on the wall, table and floor. The dark tablecloth on the table on the left side is well lit by the sun's rays, the same bright reflections on the dark floor. The rest of the strawberries, which the sun's rays did not give their light, are also ripe, but they do not look so ripe. To depict them, the painter has already used other color shades.

Among all the berries, two stand out, which are not as ripe as the rest. They had not yet matured, but they were also plucked and brought into the room to create this delightful and picturesque still life. And these two unripe berries on the right, and a small brush of the same berries with a leaf, and on the left, a brush of unripe strawberries, which are just beginning to turn pink and on which the sun's rays are falling - all this is drawn by the artist so talentedly that it seems as if they are alive, real.

The artist Ivan Mashkov has strawberries everywhere: on the table, on a silver saucer. On the saucer in the background of the picture, at the end of the table, there is also a large ripe berry neatly laid. The saucer has an unusual silver color, so the color combination is interesting and original by the artist.

In the very center of the picture, the painter Ivan Mashkov placed a small bowl white with a small border in dark blue. It is shallow, but filled not with strawberries, but with other summer berries: white and black currants, which are depicted by the artist appetizingly. On the one hand, both this plate and the berries on it are perfectly illuminated by bright sunlight. Those small currant berries, where the sun color falls, look like they are black pearls, precious and expensive. And the white currant, brightly illuminated by the sun, looks like a handful of diamonds casually scattered on a snow-white plate among black pearl berries.

But not only berries and plates with them are depicted in the painting by the outstanding painter Ivan Mashkov. Closer to the wall, among all this variety of berries, there is a small and almost invisible vase. It is transparent and slightly filled with clean water. A few twigs of currants with white and black berries are neatly placed in it. And a white clay jug, which the painter placed in the background, easily fits into this whole composition. It softens the whole still life a little, making it cleaner and fresher. Maybe it has clean water, but most likely fresh and tasty milk. It is pleasant for them to feast on and refresh themselves on a weekday summer day, when the sun is hot and when nature is so generous.

The whole picture of the famous painter Ivan Mashkov is bright, wonderful and reminds of summer, which will soon come and a wonderful time will come. On such days, you can especially feel how rich nature is, which gives people not only its warmth, bliss and pleasure, but also the summer is rich in rich harvest. Especially in the summer I want to feast on sweet and sour berries, which not only give a boost of vivacity, but are also very useful for the human body.

The canvas of Ivan Ivanovich Mashkov breathes with the warmth and brightness of a sunny day, its richness and sweetness amazes. The Russian land is beautiful, which can give such gifts to people, because strawberries and currants are the best summer berries. Mashkov's canvas is a real mastery of talent.

II Mashkov loved to depict landscapes or still lifes in his paintings. They look so bright and saturated in his paintings. Every detail of his painting is very important. Overflows of light and shadows help to expand the artist's idea as much as possible. An example of this is the painting "Strawberry and White Jug". Looking at it, you are amazed at how accurately the colors are reproduced.

Fresh, richly ripened gifts of the Russian land are painted on a neutral background of the canvas. This can be seen from what is on the table.

The central part of the canvas is occupied by a plate containing white and black currants. In the place where the currants come into contact with the plate, it is well illuminated by the rays of the sun and therefore looks like black pearls, and the white is like a scattering of diamonds. Even more attractive are sprigs of white currant in a transparent glass jar.

The background of the canvas is occupied by huge strawberries, laid in the form of slides in a silver rectangular dish. And next to it there is a snow-white jug, against which the berries seem even brighter and more ripe. Looking at this white jug, the question involuntarily arises: “What is this jug filled with? Compote from these wonderful berries or milk? " The artist with great love, using large strokes, depicts every bend on the strawberry. Between the strawberries, there are raspberries, which are lost against this background. These berries are less vibrant than the rest, and their leaves appear white - this is due to the way the painting is filled with sunlight.

Looking at the picture you feel how it exudes the warmth of a wonderful summer day... You understand what great riches summer is rich in.

Although the picture seems simple, but looking more closely, you understand how gorgeous it is. Thanks to such works of art, you begin to think about those simple moments of life that are quickly forgotten in the daily hustle and bustle.

The artist provides, once again, a good opportunity to enjoy the gifts of summer nature, filled with the warmth of the sun. Feel the smell and taste of sweet strawberries and currants. Everything depicted in the picture is familiar from childhood, but how well you understand it only now.

Gifts of nature

Ilya Ivanovich Mashkov is a famous Russian artist of the early twentieth century. In his works, the author preferred still lifes, depicting the beauty of berries, flowers, porcelain figurines and other household items. The most famous still life of the master of the brush was the painting "Strawberries and a White Jug", painted in 1943. In its creation, typical for Mashkov, bright, rich colors and large strokes were used. The picture shows ripe, juicy berries - a wonderful gift from the Russian land.

In the foreground of the picture, ripe large strawberries are skillfully flaunting. Each of them seems to be located in such a way as to show themselves with the best side... The two ripe and largest strawberries are shown on the left, their ripeness is even more expressive when illuminated by the sun's rays that fall on the table from the left. The rest of the strawberries are located to the right on the table, they are not so bright, but they are also ripe. Although there are two medium-sized berries on the right and slightly unripe berries. There are also strawberries in the background of the painting, stacked in a heap on a silver platter.

In the center of the picture is a bowl with a blue border, filled with black and white currants. In the center on the left, the currants are very well illuminated by the sun's rays. And from this shine, the black currant berries look like precious black pearls, and the white currant berries give the impression of scattered diamonds. In the center of the painting is a transparent vase with sprigs of black and white currants. And the composition is completed against the dark background of the background by a large pot-bellied clay jug. It is made in white and thus balances the color composition of the whole picture. I wonder what's in this jug? Possibly fresh steamed milk. The picture seems to radiate the warmth of a beautiful summer sunny day. How wonderful in summer! How wonderful are the gifts of nature!

"Strawberries and a White Jug" is one of the most famous still lifes of the painter Ilya Mashkov.

In 1913, the artist visited Italy. This country amazed him with its splendor. However, it is surprising: after returning to his homeland, he paints a picture thoroughly imbued with not Italian, but Russian spirit.

The viewer contemplates with pleasure the generous gift of summer nature - ripe berries. A simple china plate filled with black and white currants. And on a tin tray and on a table covered with a simple tablecloth - strawberries. Its berries are so appetizing that you just want to take at least one and put it in your mouth. The artist did not paint the picture by accident oil paints: This gives the canvas a dimension and stunning realism.

The still life is successfully complemented by the image of raspberries, which, as if by chance, were scattered around the table. Currant twigs in a transparent glass jar make the picture even more picturesque.

Feel in a typical Russian still life and Italian notes. Do not the outlines of a simple white jug in the background resemble the outlines of antique sculptures? This makes the picture even more touching and bewitching - you just can't take your eyes off.

The still life is illuminated by the gentle summer sun, the glare of which is playing everywhere: on amber and bluish-black currant beads, on scarlet strawberries, on a milky white jug.

This is one of those pictures to look at when sad. The canvas breathes with joy - and you involuntarily smile.
