Импрессионизм – живопись впечатления, мгновения, выхваченного из монотонности будней. Хотя зародилось это течение в Париже еще во второй половине XIX века, по сию пору оно вызывает повышенный интерес публики. Замечательный знаток французской культуры М. Ю. Герман, доктор искусствоведения, изложил в книге собственную, глубоко продуманную и эмоциональную версию истории импрессионизма, рассказал о пути великих мастеров (Эдуара Мане, Клода Моне, Эдгара Дега, Огюста Ренуара и многих других), а также о том, как французское влияние отозвалось в искусстве других стран, в том числе – России.

Журнал для детей с 3 лет. Главная задача журнала – помочь родителям, а также бабушкам и дедушкам самостоятельно обучить детей – рисованию, чтению, музыке, игре в шахматы, английскому и даже умению слушать сказки. Потому наша аудитория – не только дети указанного возраста, но также взрослые, начиная с 20 лет. А если вам чуть меньше 19 лет? Вы тоже когда-то станете взрослыми, и вам придется обучать ваших детей. Почему бы не начать учиться обучать заранее? Главный редактор журнала Анна Токарева.

Кто они – типы, служившие отрицательными персонажами для толпы дней давно минувших? Кого порицали моралисты, обвиняли во всех смертных грехах, травили и клеймили? Кто был многократно поруган и заклеймён демагогами и политиканами? Разумеется те, кто стал героями нынешних толерантных и высокотерпимых лет. Этот грандиозный, эпохальный, нетленный труд посвящен выдающимся деятелям нетрадиционный культуры. Или отличавшимися нетрадиционной личной жизнью. Точнее не совсем обычными сексуальными предпочтениями. Разумеется, все они тщательно скрывали от окружающих свою нетрадиционность, потому она и отошла на второй план. Однако она всегда рядом с ними незримо присутствовала, хотя никогда особо и не афишировалась. Однако сейчас настала пора срывания масок и в этой книжке вы узнаете о том, о чем в былые времена шептались разве что «злые языки», которые подчас и впрямь были «страшнее пистолета».

Raphael was the artist who most closely resembled Pheidias. The Greeks said that the latter invented nothing; rather, he carried every kind of art invented by his forerunners to such a pitch of perfection that he achieved pure and perfect harmony. Those words, “pure and perfect harmony,” express, in fact, better than any others what Raphael brought to Italian art. From Perugino, he gathered all the weak grace and gentility of the Umbrian School, he acquired strength and certainty in Florence, and he created a style based on the fusion of Leonardo's and Michelangelo's lessons under the light of his own noble spirit. His compositions on the traditional theme of the Virgin and Child seemed intensely novel to his contemporaries, and only their time-honoured glory prevents us now from perceiving their originality. He has an even more magnificent claim in the composition and realisation of those frescos with which, from 1509, he adorned the Stanze and the Loggia at the Vatican. The sublime, which Michelangelo attained by his ardour and passion, Raphael attained by the sovereign balance of intelligence and sensibility. One of his masterpieces, The School of Athens, was created by genius: the multiple detail, the portrait heads, the suppleness of gesture, the ease of composition, the life circulating everywhere within the light are his most admirable and identifiable traits.

For Claude Monet the designation ‘impressionist’ always remained a source of pride. In spite of all the things critics have written about his work, Monet continued to be a true impressionist to the end of his very long life. He was so by deep conviction, and for his Impressionism he may have sacrificed many other opportunities that his enormous talent held out to him. Monet did not paint classical compositions with figures, and he did not become a portraitist, although his professional training included those skills. He chose a single genre for himself, landscape painting, and in that he achieved a degree of perfection none of his contemporaries managed to attain. Yet the little boy began by drawing caricatures. Boudin advised Monet to stop doing caricatures and to take up landscapes instead. The sea, the sky, animals, people, and trees are beautiful in the exact state in which nature created them – surrounded by air and light. Indeed, it was Boudin who passed on to Monet his conviction of the importance of working in the open air, which Monet would in turn transmit to his impressionist friends. Monet did not want to enrol at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. He chose to attend a private school, L’Académie Suisse, established by an ex-model on the Quai d’Orfèvres near the Pont Saint-Michel. One could draw and paint from a live model there for a modest fee. This was where Monet met the future impressionist Camille Pissarro. Later in Gleyre’s studio, Monet met Auguste Renoir Alfred Sisley, and Frédéric Bazille. Monet considered it very important that Boudin be introduced to his new friends. He also told his friends of another painter he had found in Normandy. This was the remarkable Dutchman Jongkind. His landscapes were saturated with colour, and their sincerity, at times even their naïveté, was combined with subtle observation of the Normandy shore’s variable nature. At this time Monet’s landscapes were not yet characterized by great richness of colour. Rather, they recalled the tonalities of paintings by the Barbizon artists, and Boudin’s seascapes. He composed a range of colour based on yellow-brown or blue-grey. At the Third Impressionist Exhibition in 1877 Monet presented a series of paintings for the first time: seven views of the Saint-Lazare train station. He selected them from among twelve he had painted at the station. This motif in Monet’s work is in line not only with Manet’s Chemin de fer (The Railway) and with his own landscapes featuring trains and stations at Argenteuil, but also with a trend that surfaced after the railways first began to appear. In 1883, Monet had bought a house in the village of Giverny, near the little town of Vernon. At Giverny, series painting became one of his chief working procedures. Meadows became his permanent workplace. When a journalist, who had come from Vétheuil to interview Monet, asked him where his studio was, the painter answered, “My studio! I’ve never had a studio, and I can’t see why one would lock on
