Oil paintings autumn in the park. From Levitan to Kandinsky: autumn landscapes by Russian artists

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 leaves. Even larch lends itself to the general mood in autumn and burns with a canary color against the blue sky. If you're lucky and gold autumn will be nice and gentle. We are looking at 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" 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 bursting with 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. Is it because his "Golden Autumn" is like a smile of nature. The brightest of hundreds autumn pictures Levitan.

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 autumn interior. favorite topic Boris Kustodiev diluted 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 nearby cat. Together with 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. Famous for his Leninian student Ilya Repin became 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.

The autumn landscape outside the window is something not very happy. It rained all September, and October surprised with frosts and snow. But how do you want bright autumn colors and blue-blue sky. It was these colors that I saw in the paintings of the Australian artist Graham Gercken. For my taste, the pictures are somewhat decorative, but now the body just needs some exaggeration and saturation of the color scheme. I am happy to publish bright autumn scenery in the blog, maybe for someone the painting of this artist will also become color therapy))

harder than last year
an apple hits the ground
as many times as there are apples in the orchard." (Bella Akhmadulina)

"From the golden fields where the blue smoke rises,
Girls pass behind heavy carts,
Their hips wobble under thin canvases
Their cheeks are tanned like golden honey." (Eduard Bagritsky)
