Introduction of Western Art —— Russian Post-Impressionist Painter Coustou Dief

In the art history at the turn of19th century and 20th century, Boris Mihalovic Custodi Kostoelev1878-1927 occupied an important position in the painting world with his superb painting skills and distinctive painting style. His works are rich and enthusiastic in color, bold and changeable in composition proportion, full of story and life flavor, and Jevden, Custodi is such a person who embraces life enthusiastically. He participated in the activities of 19 10 to rebuild the art world, but there was no "westernization" tendency of the older generation in his creation. His oil paintings have the characteristics of folk New Year pictures, which fully shows his familiarity and understanding of small town and rural life.

Boris Custodi Yev 1878 was born in astrakhan on February 23rd. His father is a professor of philosophy, literature history and logic in the local seminary. Only his father died very early, and all the economic and material burdens fell on his shoulders. Custodi's rented a cabin in the home of a wealthy businessman. It was there that my first impression as a boy was made up of the lifestyle of the senior businessman class. He wrote: "The colorful lifestyle of businessmen in the whole era is right under my nose ... it's like something in ostrovsky's plays." The artist has kept these observations from his childhood for many years, and later re-created them in oil paintings and watercolors.

1893 to 1896, studying in a missionary school and studying under Vasily? Pavel, a student in Perloff? Vlasov attended astrakhan's private art class there. Then, 1896, Custodi's husband was admitted to Petersburg Academy of Fine Arts and began to study painting formally, first in Safinsky's studio, and then he took part in Ilya? Lie Bin studied painting with painter Lie Bin in the studio.

Coustou Dief has an extraordinary talent in portrait painting, which was fortunately discovered and appreciated by Lie Bin. When he was a student, Custodi Yev was invited by his mentor Lie Bin to participate in the work of "the State Council", and then he completed a series of high-quality portraits. However, young Custodi, don't want to be satisfied with this. What he is really interested in is the rural customs. Custodi's graduation work is not a portrait, but a grand bazaar in the countryside. Perhaps folk theme is not his best field, but it is his greatest passion. With deep yearning, Custodi Yev won the first prize again, and his graduation work won the gold medal, and was sponsored to study in Paris.

In Paris, Kustodiyev was able to observe the painter's works. Impressionist painting style has an influence on the painter, which is reflected in his work Morning after graduation. It is conceivable that Coustou and Dief would be a good painter if they developed in the way of impressionism. But he knows what he wants. After returning to China, I began to devote myself to painting with traditional folk themes. Childhood memories, field trips and even Lian Wenxue's works have become the material of Coustou and Dief's conception.

1900, Custodi's husband went to muskie province to paint and sketch, and met his future wife. The painter finished his studies on 1903. Before graduation, Custodi Yev participated in international exhibitions held in Petersburg and Munich, and won a big gold medal. He won the gold medal and the opportunity to study abroad with excellent results.

/kloc-in the autumn of 0/903, the painter went to Paris with his family for further study. During this period, he traveled to Germany, Italy, Spain and other ancient art countries, learned to copy many famous paintings, and joined Monet's studio for a period of time. After returning home, Custodi's husband went to Russia again. He is very interested in the lifestyle of small towns in other Russian provinces, and shows the customs of businessmen and ordinary citizens with humor and irony. A series of paintings were created here, such as Market/KOOC-0/906) Tea Party/KOOC-0/9/KOOC-0/3) Beauty/KOOC-0/9/KOOC-0/5) Dinner of Moscow Businessmen/KOOC-0/9/KOOC-0/6).

1907, Custodi's husband went to Italy, 1909 visited Austria and Germany, and visited Italy again. After staying for five months, he came back, and his friend Matt was obviously happy to write that he was "back in our paradise". Coustou Dief's oil paintings have the characteristics of folk New Year pictures and the skills endowed by university education. This is due to the painter's observation and accumulation of life in small towns and rural areas for many years and his painting practice day after day. No matter how much it costs, the loss of the painter's body is irreparable.

1909, he was elected as the Royal Academy of Art. That is, this year, Custodi's husband felt unwell, and he suffered from a serious disease-spinal tuberculosis. At the doctor's suggestion, he went to Switzerland and received a year's treatment in a private clinic. He was troubled by the distant motherland, and his theme continued to be the basic material of his works in that year. By 19 16, he began to move in a wheelchair, and sometimes he could only draw while lying down. However, the disease didn't stop Coustou and Dief from writing. On the contrary, his later works, such as Xierou Festival/KOOC-0/9/KOOC-0/6 Tea Merchants/KOOC-0/9/KOOC-0/8 Charyabin Portrait/KOOC-0/92/KOOC-0/,are even more skillful.

The man in Custodi's paintings is always strong, while the woman is always full of Ciaglia's profile, as if everything is always healthy and happy. No matter in painting or in life, Custodi's husband lived a gesture. "Now my whole room is my room," he wrote. Although his paralysis surprised others, he was still happy and lively. His colorful paintings and cartoons do not reveal his physical pain, but give people the impression of carefree and happy life.

The first world war broke out. During this period, Custodi's paintings were relatively small, and he painted with a brush tied to a chair. For example, the pudgy taxi driver in a Moscow restaurant is drinking tea. This is really one of his best works. 1927 On May 26th, Custodi's husband stopped breathing in his home in Leningrad, and spent a short life in pain for 49 years.
