Autumn paintings and their artists. In the rustle of leaves, the melody is light

In a time of light sadness and quiet joy. A rare case of a riot of colors in the middle lane for an artist is a reason to add warm tones to the canvas. Red rowan leaves, bright yellow birch leaves, golden yellow linden and yellow-brown oak. Even larch lends itself to the general mood in autumn and burns with a canary color against the blue sky. If you are lucky, the golden autumn will turn out to be serene and affectionate. We are examining pictures about the most romantic time of the year together with Natalia Letnikova.

Isaac Levitan. Gold autumn. 1895. State Tretyakov Gallery

Canvas from the "major series" by Isaac Levitan. “I was passionately drawn to work, I got carried away, and for a week now, as I have not taken my eyes off the canvas day after day ...”- the artist wrote to his friend Vasily Polenov, working on an autumn canvas. The painter saw a landscape full of yellow and barely giving off greenery in the Tver province on the banks of the Syezha River not far from the Gorka estate, where he had a heartfelt interest. Isn't that why his "Golden Autumn" is like a smile of nature. The brightest of Levitan's hundreds of autumn paintings.

Stanislav Zhukovsky. Autumn. Veranda. 1911. GRM

A cozy corner of a country house where you can find yourself face to face with the autumn park. It seems that you can reach the top of the spruce with your hand and, if you wish, pick that lemon-yellow leaf from the birch. See the horizon and, breathing in the cool clean air, sit down on a bench under the gliding rays of the autumn sun. Stanislav Zhukovsky dearly loved autumn and old Russian estates. A century ago, the collected bouquet has not lost its bright colors at all and only emphasizes the autumn unity - the inhabitants of the house and its surroundings.

Boris Kustodiev. Autumn in the province. Tea drinking. 1926. State Tretyakov Gallery

Merchants in the autumn interior. Boris Kustodiev diluted his favorite theme with warm colors. Fiery red maples and a yellowing garden near provincial houses make autumn especially cozy. That same Indian summer, which for a while reconciles with beautiful, but, alas, inevitably flying leaves. The clear air smells of leaves, watermelon and fresh bread from a small bakery. And, of course, no autumn is terrible if there is a cat nearby. Together with a samovar.

Ilya Ostroukhov. Gold autumn. 1886. State Tretyakov Gallery

Isaac Brodsky. Gold autumn. 1913. Museum-apartment of I.I. Brodsky

Isaac Brodsky, the future representative of socialist realism, discerned the village troubles behind a bright riot of colors. Ilya Repin's student became famous for his Leninianism much later, and in 1913 the artist preferred romantic landscapes to paintings from revolutionary life. Framed by autumn foliage, as if in the palm of your hand, the village is spread out. He lives his vain life - rattles wagons, rings with voices. Only colors change - from red gold, through a white winter landscape - to a riot of greenery and again to gilding.

Peter Petrovich. Boring Garden. Autumn. 1905. Private collection

The corner of the Neskuchny Garden, pierced by the bright sun, really looks boring on a fine autumn day. Though from the movement in the deserted park only the slow waters of the river and the long gray shadows commanded by the sun. The fact that the park is inhabited is evidenced by the house on the hill. And you can’t say at all that this is part of noisy Moscow. The artist Pyotr Petrovichev came to the capital from the Yaroslavl province on foot - to study painting with Levitan and paint Kuskovo, Kuzminki, Neskuchny Garden ... It was much easier for a master of lyrical landscape to find solitude in the capital city a hundred years ago.

Konstantin Somov. Versailles park in autumn. 1898. GRM

The center of Moscow or the royal park near Paris. Golden autumn is good in any place where the foliage changes color for the sake of autumn. A new picture every day - like a spectrum of shades. Know mix on the palette: linen, Dijon, mustard... And now the alley is covered with rust, and the color of the Tuscan sun overshadows the Parisian sadness. But the canvas will retain “a fabulous palace, open to everyone for review” ... As if there were not a few days left before the winter rest. And the foliage blazes, and the sky turns blue, not knowing the autumn winds and the coming cold.

Autumn has always inspired creative people. The enchanting beauty of nature, dressed in a golden veil, was glorified by poets and artists of different eras. The autumn theme occupies an important place in the work of such famous masters as C. Monet, P. Cezanne, V. Polenov, I. Levitan, I. Shishkin and others. Modern artists also strive to convey all the charm of the landscapes of this amazing time of the year. For some of them, crimson-yellow landscapes are an inexhaustible source of creative search. Many sought-after masters of our days often turn to the theme of the autumn transformation of the world around them, showing all its diversity and beauty. Today we will talk about the most prominent artists of our time, in whose work autumn occupies a special place.

Liu Maoshan (China).
Liu Maoshan is a Chinese watercolor artist. The master's paintings are characterized by subtle lyricism, behind which is the high professionalism of the creator. Maoshan enjoys unquestioned authority in China. The artist heads the Academy of Chinese Painting in his hometown of Sizhou.

"Autumn"

"Vasilievsky Island in deep autumn"

Thomas Kinkade (USA).
Thomas Kinkade called himself "The Artist of Light". And it was not just an epithet, but a registered trademark. The artist passed away in 2012, but his work has forever left a mark on history. A feature of Kincaid's paintings is their wide distribution. Each of us at least once in our lives saw the artist's peaceful landscapes, if not at the exhibition, then in the form of reproductions.

"Central Park in Autumn"

"Valley of Peace"

"Gingerbread house"

The fact is that Kincaid's works are often used for commercial purposes: for example, they can be seen on puzzles and in the form of all kinds of printed materials. Because of this, many experts criticized the artist, but the public has always appreciated the special magnetism of the master's plots. Thomas Kinkade created landscapes in luminous highlights using rich pastel colors. The artist was a deeply religious person and believed that through his work he brings people joy, goodness and bright thoughts.

"Twilight in Paris"

"Victorian Autumn"

"Serenity"

Leonid Afremov (Belarus/Mexico).
In the work of Leonid Afremov, autumn occupies a central place. The artist creates paintings in the original technique, using a maskhitin - a knife for mixing paints. With its help, the master applies oil paints in large strokes, which gives a bright and dynamic effect.

"Fall rain"

"St. Petersburg"

"City by the Lake"

Afremov was born in the Belarusian city of Vitebsk, but today the artist lives and works in Mexico. The painter's works are permeated with romanticism and light autumn melancholy.

"Sunny Autumn"

"Yellow Autumn"

Richard McNeil (Great Britain).

"New York"

"London"

"Venetian Haze"

Evgeny Lushpin (Russia).
The urban landscapes of the Russian artist Evgeny Lushpin are so realistic that sometimes it seems that we are looking at the work of a photographer. In fact, the secret is in the high skill of the landscape painter and his special technique, permeated with the play of light and shadow.

"Quiet evening"

"A Streetcar Named Desire"

Lushpin's paintings are filled with nostalgic notes and an amazing sense of calm and inner freedom.

"Abandoned"

The autumn theme for the artist is an opportunity to reveal the whole palette of natural tones. Mark Geller continues the tradition of the best landscape painters of the past.

Evgeniy and Lidia Baranova (Russia/USA).
Evgeny Baranov and Lidia Velichko-Baranova were born and studied in Moscow, but at the dawn of the 90s they moved to the USA. Fate brought the two artists together after graduation. Thus, not only a creative, but also a family union was formed, which showed the world many interesting works.

"Golden Tuscany"

"Villa Belvedere in October"

"Silent Sunset"

I must say that duets in painting are a rarity. In this sense, the artists were able to destroy the established stereotype that creativity in tandem is impossible. Masters create landscapes in the classical technique, which is so famous for the Russian school of painting.

"Autumn in Bruges"

"In the Sunset"

"Farm"

Gregory Stokes (USA).
For Gregory Stokes, autumn is the main source of inspiration. The canvases of this artist are a peculiar combination of modern and traditional approach to painting.

"One Day in November"

"Autumn Talk"

"Autumn Loneliness"

The most inspiring time of the year is autumn. It is multifaceted, awakens very conflicting feelings, has become the culprit of the emergence of many beautiful works in literature, music and fine arts.

Introducing a child to this time of year is not always comfortable directly on the street, in a park, in a forest, the view from the window is not great, but you can only get help to get an album with reproductions. In addition, this way you will hit two targets with one shot, introduce your child to autumn and art.

What pictures of autumn for children will be the most interesting and informative?

"Golden Autumn" - I. Levitan

The most famous landscape of this time of year. The picture is perfect for the first acquaintance of the child with autumn, because it depicts its beginning. Despite the fact that the main gamut of the picture is yellow, autumn, the fields in the distance are still green, in some places there is unfaded grass, and a grove on the right bank affably waves its green foliage. The sky is clear, the weather is calm and pleasant.

This wonderful canvas will help the child to recognize the first and highlight its positive qualities. You can have a fascinating conversation about Russian fields and birches.

"Golden Autumn" - V. Polenov

This is a no less wonderful representative. Looking at the picture, you can consolidate knowledge with your child about the early, first signs of autumn, and form pleasant associations.

You can try to introduce the baby to the concept of "Indian summer". If he is not yet ready for this, do not insist.

autumn" - I. Brodsky

Looking at the selected pictures of autumn for children, we find ourselves in a garden where golden autumn already reigns. What does it mean? Look for the answer with your child in the thinned crowns of trees, in fallen leaves on the paths of the garden. Note that the day can be pleasant, clear and sunny even in the middle of autumn.

And how did we guess that the sun shines brightly? The artist makes this clear to us by depicting bright shadows from trees on the ground. The figures of numerous passers-by in the garden also speak of a wonderful day. And who will walk in bad weather?

"Autumn. Veranda" - S. Zhukovsky

A slightly unusual view for us (young researchers) is no longer a forest or a park, but still - autumn. Many autumn landscapes, paintings show us houses, roads and villages in a golden natural frame, and here is a veranda. Table, vase, flowers... Speaking of flowers. Which of them bloom in autumn?

It is noteworthy that there is also a lot of light, heat and sun. And the Christmas trees are clearly visible, which for some reason remained green. Why?

"Late autumn" - K. Korovin

So we got to the last picture of autumn. It is important for children to see that late autumn is not the dull end of a beautiful, warm season full of bright colors, but the beginning of a new one. Indeed, despite the fact that all the leaves have fallen, the grass has withered, the air is already filled with a milky mist, and there is snow on the remaining rare leaves and blades of grass. We are on the threshold of winter.

When choosing autumn pictures for children, try to make them bright, bright and bring positive emotions. So, as in the examples given in this article. Even though the theme of autumn is not very pleasant for you, an adult, you should not pass on your negative thoughts and stereotypes to a child. Even if the pictures of autumn, the photos you found are unknown to the whole world, and the authors are provincial landscape painters, the main thing is the quality of the work and the feelings that it will evoke in a tender child's soul.

ARTISTS DRAW AUTUMN

The artist painted autumn
Trying to cheat time.
Alley, old station,
A passer-by and a little bit of rain,

Cornices, pigeons, window,
In which the sky is a patch.
And the sound of dominoes
From the square obliquely,

Steps tired dark trail,
Rowan sadness, the last leaf,
A bouquet thrown to the ground
Wet plaster bugler.

The taste of a kiss on the corner
Chills from a sharp "Goodbye!"
The confusion of someone's thoughts aloud,
And the running tram

Autumn cloudy finale -
A frozen moment of flying days...
He held the hand of time.
Alone, among other people's passions...

GOLDEN AUTUMN ISAAC LEVITAN

The landscapes of Isaac Levitan are often called masterpieces. He did not just depict landscapes familiar to many. Sometimes they say: "The artist sang the beauty of nature." This expression means that he put all the power of love into his paintings. Levitan's paintings are really full of love for native nature. They are like beautiful music and refined poetry. Looking at Levitan's painting "Golden Autumn", you remember both the music of Russian composers and the best lines of Russian poetry about autumn. “Charm of the eyes”, “forests clad in crimson and gold” - these words of Pushkin are very suitable for “Golden Autumn”.

On the canvas we see a characteristic Russian landscape. A calm day in the middle of autumn. The sun is shining, but not so bright. A Russian expanse opens up before your eyes: fields, groves, a river. The blue sky with white clouds on the horizon converges with the line of the forest. A narrow river with low banks crosses the picture vertically, helping the viewer's eye to see the perspective. With clear vertical strokes, the artist shows the movement of water.

Before us is a birch grove. Birch is a very picturesque tree. Levitan, like many artists, loved birch trees and often depicted them in his landscapes. Autumn has already painted nature in its autumn colors: yellow, golden orange. They are so bright that at first it seems: the whole picture is written in different tones of yellow. But this is only at first glance. Looking closely, we see that the grass in the foreground is still green, just beginning to turn yellow. And the far field, behind which you can see several village houses, is still green. And the grove on the right bank is still cheerfully green.

But our attention is riveted to the yellow birches. Their foliage flutters in the wind, shimmers like gold in the sunlight. There is no sadness in the landscape, on the contrary, the mood is peaceful, calm. This is golden autumn. She captivates with beauty.

Vasily Polenov.Golden autumn.

In many of his creations, the artist V.D. Polenov depicted the Motherland and the Oka River. Near her, he was destined to live many years of creativity, favorite work and inspiration, the source of which was the local nature. The artist never ceased to admire her, neither in his letters, nor in his works. The painting "Golden Autumn" is the quintessence of this love, and it is clear that part of the author's soul is forever frozen in the work, filling it with warmth and soft inner light.

Surprisingly juicy and capaciously conveyed colors and colors - the magic penetrated into the smooth lines and bends of the water surface, into the skies hanging over the hills, into the forest and the dome of the church, reviving and making it all voluminous and real. The austere splendor of the surroundings near the banks of the Oka attracts the eye - the warmth of the last autumn days seems to flow down from the canvas and spill over the hall. Sunbeams and glare from the water make you squint and smile, remembering the same days from your life. The hills, outlined by soft, flowing lines, slowly disappear, dissolve into the boundless distance. And only a tiny part of the vast plain falls into the impression of the artist - and the river, and the trees, and the vastness of the hills, like strokes of some big other picture.

Autumn is just waking up on her, she has not yet died on the trees, and many of them are still in summer clothes, only a few have changed colors. Gold and crimson now live their own lives, diluting the greenery and adding charm to the shore shimmering in the sun. A small forest road calls for itself into the forest, where the last flowers are still blooming, the smell of grass and pine needles, and the last warmth comes from the earth. Looking at this picture, I want to forget about business and problems for a second, to dissolve in the gentle beauty and harmony, to think about the smooth and unhurried course of life, which is so far from today's cities boiling with energy.

Autumn in painting, today I have a not quite usual topic. I suggest you today just take a break from the hustle and bustle, worries, problems. Now is a great time - autumn. One of my most favorite times of the year. Autumn for each of us is so different, for some it is sad, with rains and piercing winds, and for some, autumn is a golden time. In autumn, you can gather yellow and red leaves in armfuls, wander in the rain, inhale the autumn coolness, wander through the forest, pick mushrooms, enjoy the beauty of fallen leaves, sit with a cup of hot tea in your hands and admire the beauty of autumn from the window. Wander around a cozy park with benches among fallen leaves, listen to the sound of autumn rain.

For me, autumn is one of the most beautiful and romantic seasons. Autumn is a mysterious, mysterious, romantic, lyrical, thoughtful time. The unusually bright colors that autumn gives us are room for creativity. Autumn is such a generous and bright time. Only in autumn there is such an abundance of fruits and vegetables on our table, in autumn the leaves on the trees seem to be painted in bright colors by nature, and even in autumn you can endlessly admire the beauty of chrysanthemums ...

Autumn is the most picturesque time of the year, it is a whole palette of bright, warm colors from light yellow to the darkest gray shades, and in terms of emotions, these are transitions of joy, sadness, smile, sadness ...

Since I have autumn in painting today, I will say a few words about what painting is. Painting is a type of fine art that is associated with the transfer of images through the application of paints on a flexible or solid base. Painting can be on any basis: canvas, silk, paper, leather, etc. Painting technique: oil, gouache, watercolor, acrylic... Painting is created by our nature, man and time. Painting, like other types of art, performs a cognitive, philosophical, aesthetic, social and educational function.

"Leaf fall"

Ivan Bunin

Forest, like a painted tower,
Purple, gold, crimson,
Cheerful, colorful wall
It stands over a bright meadow.

Birches with yellow carving
Shine in blue azure,
Like towers, Christmas trees darken,
And between the maples they turn blue
Here and there in the foliage through
Clearances in the sky, that windows.
The forest smells of oak and pine,
During the summer it dried up from the sun,
And Autumn is a quiet widow
He enters his motley tower ...

Autumn never repeats itself, every year it brings something new, delighting and delighting us. I suggest you relax and watch the video of autumn, gentle, touching and very beautiful. This video made me smile, harmony in my soul, admiration. I wish you all a good mood, health, joy, warmth, a sea of ​​\u200b\u200bsmiles, let everything only good surround you.

May this autumn be the most unforgettable for you!
