Renoir was a shy man, and here it was necessary to paint every day in full view of the public, to work with dozens of sitters and sitters. But everything went surprisingly smoothly....

Baba Yaga's spooky house and unusual fishing. Fantastic illustrations by Denis Zhbankov, which will especially appeal to today's youth
Classical painting and drawing did not appeal to him and seemed hopelessly outdated. The painting ‘Old Friend’ shows a touching story of friendship between a fisherman and a water dragon.
Is it true that ‘War will write off everything’? Paintings and the most discussed book by Leonid Rabichev.
Historian Budnitsky and Sinyavskaya: "all of Rabichev's information does not correspond to reality, and is only recognised to denigrate the feat of Soviet soldiers". But there is another opinion...
We lived like this. Valentin Gubarev's soulful paintings about ordinary people, causing a feeling of pinching nostalgia.
Gubarev himself says that "misplaced irony" is solely the opinion of some officials who are simply afraid. This is not a fetish of the artist, just a desire to show that "a woman should be feminine".
Proven first-rate humor of the old leaven from the famous cartoonist Valentin Druzhinin.
He became a staff artist there, together with Victor Balabas, constantly responding with his witty and topical cartoons to all the events of those years. Without unnecessary vulgarity and blackness, and when it is impossible to do without them, to do it as delicately as possible.
Evocative and provocative. What is so special about Rodin's sculpture "The Kiss" that makes it recognized as a world-famous masterpiece?
After the wedding, it was time for the wedding night, and Francesca found a complete stranger in the bedroom instead of Paolo. And the most amazing thing is that in Dante's Divine Comedy, Paolo and Francesca's souls ended up in hell.

He was tempted, but he did not give in. An unusual competition among famous artists for the best painting of St. Anthony's temptations.
One of the main temptations was the temptation of sensuality and the need for abstinence, which at 18 is understandably akin to a real feat.
What is the hidden meaning of Dalí's famous painting "The Permanence of Memory" that fascinates all art historians and painting lovers?
And for some reason, the artist decided to depict the current clock. To the work of Dali can be treated differently, but some landscape in the style of realism, probably soon forgotten and dissolve into memory among dozens of similar paintings. It is believed that the current clock is an artistic embodiment of Einstein's theory of relativity.
Neighboring "priestesses of love" and seduced to pose young Vera Mamontova. What was Valentin Serov like in ordinary life?
At the age of 22, Serov, together with the Mamontov brothers, went to Vienna and, impressed by the beauty of St. Stephen's Cathedral, began to draw it on paper, making sketches. Police officers approached them and urged them to go to the station
