Ilya Glazunov. (Didn't notice). A culturological essay.
I am reading a book about Ilya Glazunov. Perhaps this book can be called his short biography.
Before reading, I hesitated: to read or not to read? It was clear to me that Ilya Glazunov was, in a sense, a follower of Karamzin. In terms of content (of his paintings), he glorified what does not deserve glorification - in some cases.
But today I read a work with a brief analysis of the monument "Millennium of Russia" (Novgorod, 1862).
I decided to read about Glazunov...
The book begins with emotional biographical details related to the Siege of Leningrad.
Then, I am approaching to the foreign trip of Ilya Glazunov in 1963.
Excellent portrait of Gina Lollobrigida (1963).
Excellent painting "Mont-Saint-Michel Castle. France" 1968. I suddenly felt...
I read further...
Naturally, Ilya Glazunov "did not notice" (in a broad sense) the departure of Nikolai Voznesensky and the arrival of Nikita Khrushchev instead of Voznesensky.
The policy of Montreux, the policy of Tehran-Yalta-Potsdam was significantly deformed...
Ilya Glazunov is going to Vietnam. In a month he completed 140 works. He was admitted to the Union of Artists ... (The exact year is not indicated in the book).
A painting "For your health ..." (1977). A kind man in civilian clothes with a military order drinks one hundred front-line grams against the background of a poster about the victorious Vietnam ...
How many of them were - who were causing a sympathy ...
Thousands of Portuguese fled from overseas territories (after 1974). And not only the Portuguese...
But 1991 also came... No one I can to recall. Has anyone shown sympathy? Has anyone spoken at the UN General Assembly? Dear artist did not recall his romantic paintings?
In general, neither Ilya Glazunov, nor the kind man from the painting "For your health ..." noticed the departure of Nikolai Voznesensky and the arrival of Nikita Khrushchev instead ...
It is understandable. Karamzin is the "child" of the Congress of Vienna (1814-1815), the historiographer of Alexander I. The history by Karamzin - this thing is been absorbing (it is drinking up) [by kids] - already - with the milk (and with compote) of a school canteens...
Gediminas, Algirdas, Vytautas - they -are represented on the monument 'Millennium of Russia'... But it was the 1862...
If I will continue reading the book, then I will see if they are represented in the work of Ilya Glazunov.
In general, there were many good things in the imperial Russia. But there were also 1853-56, 1877-78, 1904-1905, 1915...

P.S.
Finished this book. The text was not very voluminous.
Several multi-figure works by artist. Maybe they depict Gediminas, Algirdas, Vytautas?... I personally have not seen them in any multi-figure work...
