Konstantin Petrov-Vodkin’s painting “Noon” (1917) is a poetic story about the earthly being of man. In front of the viewer, as it were, the main key moments of a person’s life pass - birth, love, motherhood, work, death. "Eternal themes" in life and in art. A guy and a girl meet on a hill - love is born. Under a spreading tree, a young mother feeds a newborn baby. People are busy with daily work: a man harvests firewood, takes care of cattle, a woman rides in a cart for her household affairs. In the meadow, resting, husband and wife sleep peacefully. A mournful procession moves along the road - for someone this is the last path on earth. And again a woman with a baby in her arms, and again a new life begins.

Petrov-Vodkin rejects the traditional linear perspective in favor of the “spherical” one and, like in many of his other canvases, reveals the spatial depth with smooth hill silhouettes, distant villages, and a blue ribbon of the river. The picture has that cosmic sense of reality that permeates all the art of the artist. This picture is especially interesting for contemporary artists. Sincerely accepting the Revolution, the artist Petrov-Vodkin and in art is looking for a new language of expression. It was in the 1910s that a special artistic and theoretical system of Petrov-Vodkin was formed, where the principle of “spherical perspective” plays the main role, which allows, depicting nature simultaneously from above and from the side, to convey the feeling of “earth as a planet”.

Formally, the idea of ​​the art project of the Volga branch of the Russian Academy of Arts and the Union of Artists of the Saratov Region is realized through the idea of ​​involving modern artists in the process of artly comprehending the work of K. S. Petrov-Vodkin through the history of the creation of the monumental canvas “Noon. Summer ”(1917).

In 2017, the 100th anniversary of the painting and the 100th anniversary of the 2017 Revolution will be celebrated. There is a reason to turn to “eternal themes”, by artistic means, to analyze the shift in emphasis, points of view and perceptions as part of the development of “eternal themes” in time and in art.

Saratov artists divided “Noon” into 26 parts. Each author, in his artistic style and technique, performed his own fragment, after which the pieces, like puzzles, were assembled into a single canvas (panel size 3 mx 4.5 m). The project was attended by painters, graphic artists (digital graphics) sculptors. It is planned to show multimedia support for the project.
