Paintings by Konstantin Tretyakov about the Civil War. Artist A.I. Sheloumov - battle-painter, cavalryman, participant of two World and Civil wars "Beat the Whites with the Red Wedge"

Ivan Vladimirov is considered a Soviet artist. He had government awards, among his works there is a portrait of the "leader". But his main legacy is the illustrations of the Civil War. They are given "ideologically correct" names, the cycle includes several anti-white drawings (by the way, noticeably inferior to the rest - the author obviously did not draw them from the heart), but everything else is such a denunciation of Bolshevism that it is even surprising how blind the "comrades" were. And the denunciation is that Vladimirov, a documentary artist, simply displayed what he saw, and the Bolsheviks in his drawings turned out to be who they were - gopniks who mocked people. "A real artist must be truthful." In these drawings, Vladimirov was truthful and, thanks to him, we have an exceptional pictorial chronicle of the era.



Russia: the realities of revolution and civil war through the eyes of the artist Ivan Vladimirov (part 1)

A selection of paintings The battle painter Ivan Alekseevich Vladimirov (1869 - 1947) is known for his cycles of works dedicated to the Russo-Japanese War, the 1905 Revolution and the First World War. But the most expressive and realistic was the cycle of his documentary sketches of 1917-1918. During this period, he worked in the Petrograd police, actively participated in its daily activities and made his sketches not from someone else's words, but from the very essence of living nature. It is thanks to this that Vladimirov’s paintings of this period of time are striking in their truthfulness and display of various not very attractive aspects of the life of that era. Unfortunately, later the artist changed his principles and turned into a completely ordinary battle painter, who exchanged his talent and began to write in the style of imitative socialist realism (to serve the interests of the Soviet leaders).
