The most famous artists of the 19th century created real masterpieces, which are now kept in many famous
museums in the world. Their paintings amaze with their magnificence, it is a blessing that we have the opportunity to admire them. But how many artists of that time do you know?
Kazimir Malevich
This man painted many famous paintings. For the first time his paintings were shown at the exhibition of the partnership of artists of the capital, when he was 28 years old. There were also shown the work of Kandinsky and other authors. Malevich is not the most famous artist in the world, but his fame boomed throughout Russia. Having become a member of the Diamond Knife community, he stood at the head of the national Cubist group. The first, rather unusual creations, characterized by abstract geometric shapes (this direction was called "Suprematism"), the artist wrote when he was 34 years old. The pictures turned out to be very interesting. Soon Malevich got a job at a Vitebsk art school as a teacher. Perhaps his most famous work is the painting "Black Square".
Vincent Van Gogh
Van Gogh is probably the most famous artist in the world. It is no exaggeration to say that he was a brilliant impressionist. However, unfortunately, he received recognition only after death.
Van Gogh was born in Holland in 1853. From an early age he was distinguished by a difficult character and slight oddities. Often he went into himself, ignoring all manifestations of the outside world.
With age, despondency overtook him more and more often, he had strange attacks - the disease followed on his heels. Occasionally, Van Gogh went to treatment in a psychiatric hospital.
However, in the life of this master there was not only suffering - joyful events also happened. It is a pity that he did not become famous during his lifetime, that his paintings were recognized as masterpieces much later. Now people fully appreciated his talent: the canvases of the great Impressionist cause genuine admiration. The most famous artist in the world was a truly gifted person.
Mikhail Vrubel
This is a domestic artist who created art nouveau paintings. He was born in Omsk on March 5, 1856.
Vrubel's paintings were distinguished by originality and originality. The artist came to such an interesting style of painting during the restoration of the Ukrainian Cyril Church, which lasted from 1884 to 1889. The painting "Our Lady with the Baby", written by the author at this time, is currently in the Museum of Russian Art. It is located in the capital of Ukraine. Of course, all the famous artists of Russia are worthy of respect, but Vrubel deserves real admiration - he is a genius.
Victor Vasnetsov
Viktor Vasnetsov is a famous Russian painter, one of the creators of the nationally romantic version of Russian Art Nouveau. His paintings are particularly beautiful and harmonious.
The artist is considered the founder of the so-called Russian trend in European symbolism and modernism. Vasnetsov rethought the historical genre: in one of his paintings, the mysterious atmosphere of a romantic legend can coexist with medieval motifs. However, often the poetic traditions themselves become his main plot of large canvases. Vasnetsov, of course, is not the most famous artist in the world, but still many people who are interested in art know about him.
Ivan Aivazovsky
Ivan Aivazovsky is a famous domestic artist specializing in marinism. He was born in 1817. His father was a merchant. A couple of years after the start of training, namely, in 1835, the young painter is awarded a
silver medal for his work. Soon, the famous
French artist Philippe Tanner begins to give him lessons. In 1837, Aivazovsky was awarded a gold medal, after which he went on a two-year journey through the Crimea and European countries.
After some time, the artist founded an art school in Feodosia. The money received for his canvases went to this. This educational institution subsequently became the most important art center located in New Russia.
Now you know the names of famous artists who became famous thanks to their undoubted talent. To get acquainted with their paintings, it is recommended to visit the museum. But if this is not possible, then you can find their creations on the Internet, on various sites devoted to art.
