I always followed my own path... Automatic translate

On February 9 at 16:00, the exhibition “I have always followed my path… To the 110th anniversary of the birth of Eutychius Konev” opens in the main building of the museum (Lenin St., 5). The exhibition includes about 100 works from museum and private collections and for the first time most fully presents the work of the outstanding Siberian master.

The exhibition provides an opportunity to get acquainted not only with the artist’s most famous and iconic paintings, but also to see works that are unknown to a wide range of viewers. The exhibition most clearly reflects the versatility of Evtychius Konev’s artistic talent, the history of the artist’s professional and spiritual development, his outlook on life and attitude towards it.

The heroes of Konev’s portrait works are people of labor: workers, rural workers, builders. With amazing insight, Konev notices the very essence of a person, his character, revealing in his works the true, and not ostentatious, beauty of the human soul. A significant series of works is dedicated to the construction of the BAM, where the artist went on creative business trips many times.

The theme of his native land runs through all of Evtykhy Konev’s work. Siberia fostered a stern character in him; he passionately loved this region and Lake Baikal. But the master’s most famous works are dedicated to eternal family values: love, care, selflessness, sincerity, kindness.

The exhibition “I have always followed my path… For the 110th anniversary of the birth of Eutychius Konev” will be on display in the main building of the museum (Lenin St., 5) until March 31. Phone number for inquiries and excursion registration: 01/34/46. Available on the Pushkin map: https://vmuzey.com/event/postoyannaya-ekspoziciya-irkutskogo-hudozhestvennogo-muzeya
