PORTRAIT IN THE WORKS OF ARTISTS OF THE REPUBLIC OF TATARSTAN Automatic translate

The portrait genre has always occupied a worthy place in the works of artists of Tatarstan. Combining the fundamental foundations and traditions of the Kazan Art School, new trends in art, the artists of the republic rethink and transform images into distinctive and vibrant forms, filled with psychology, sensuality, emotions. The artist’s inquisitive and keen gaze is directed at a familiar person or at a person from the crowd whose image has become the object of attention of the creator. This is the desire to reveal all the multifaceted nature of the character, internal impulses, to create an integral image of the model.

The exhibition opens with a gallery of works by Abrek Abzgildin as a tribute to a determined and temperamental artist who has done a lot to develop the portrait in Kazan, Tatarstan, and has made a significant contribution to the development of Russian art. Not afraid of experiments, Abrek Abzgildin was able to see what is hidden behind the mask that a person “dresses” every day. Background, composition, colors begin to "speak" under his brush. For the master, man is part of the world, and the world is part of man.

Following Abrek Abzgildin, many take this difficult path. In the portrait genre, artists strive to reflect not a documentary statement of reality, but much more - to represent the individual as part of life.

The portrait exhibition is represented by paintings, graphics, sculptures by well-known masters M. Kuznetsov, A. Deryabin, Z. Batraev, A. Inshakov, A. Timergalina, M. Vagapov, I. Samakayev, as well as young artists, students and graduates of KHU, Kazan branch of Moscow State Art Institute named after Surikov A. Sannikova, A. Mazitova, S. Kudryashova, Y. Petrova, K. Zubkova.

In total, the exhibition features more than 100 works.
