Photographer's Note
The New Tretyakov Gallery is a branch where is shown the artistic production from Russian art from beginning of 20th century to nowadays. Most part of this period of time was occupied by the communist regime, in the beginning the artists had some sympathy by the regime and had freedom to create what they wanted, but some years ahead many were persecuted, in special during the days of Stalin.
This is a painting of Alexander Deineika, he is one of my preferred Russian painters, he liked to use discrete colors and themes like soccer and nude women. I choose this canvas to post because it talks more about Russian history. This artwork was created in 1928, but what we see here is a replica created in 1964.I presume the original was lost. The name os the canvas is "Petrograd Defense" and show us the city of Saint Petersburg with a group of military marching in the snowy city. At each time I see this canvas looks for me the women are using dresses made of transparent plastic.
..................
A Nova Galeria Tretyakov é uma filial onde é exibida a produção artística russa do início do século 20 até hoje. Esse período de tempo foi ocupado em sua maioria pelo regime comunista com regras duras criadas para a produção, no início os artistas tinham mais liberdade e simpatizavam com o regime, depois acabaram sendo perseguidos caso não seguissem as regras, em especial nos tempos de Stalin.
Essa é uma pintura de Alexander Deineka, se chama "A Defesa de Petrogrado" e mostra um grupo de militares marchando na neve em São Petersburgo. A tela original é de 1928, mas essa que vemos é uma réplica de 1964, creio que a original se perdeu. Esse é um dos artistas russos que mais gostei, seus trabalhos tem cores discretas e temas como mulheres nuas e futebol, mas escolhi mostrar essa tela porque exibe um pouco da história russa.
Sempre que observo essa tela me parece que as mulheres estão trajadas com saias de plástico transparente.

Hello Jorge,
This is a very interesting piece of art.
The military figures are almost robotic.
I interpret this as the military having strength and power; behind them, they leave ordinary people cold, poor and suffering.
There is a strong praise of military achievements, or military involvement, in the art that you have shown us.
Have a good Sunday,
Bev :-)

Hello Jorge,
I wasn't familiar with this name, so I had a look at the internet to see more of Deineka. He stands out as a typical representative of the Soviet style, but he was obviously very clever and in some works he managed to break loose from the propaganda style. The painting you show here would probably be among his best. The photo has a very good light which probably gives us a correct idea of the colours.
Best regards,
Gert

Hello Jorge, an interesting painting, thought provoking.
The style is quite stark with a limited palette of colours.
Thank you for the detailed information.
Kind regards, Jean.

Hi Jorge,
The painting is showing two different items of a daily life scene, the persons walking on the brige and the soldiers marching under it. It is clear and precise. Have a nice day.

Hi Jorge,
we can indeed learn so much about the world from your uploads. Not only by looking at them but also reading your notes. You seem to be well prepared, I am usually quite superficial.
Very interesting reportage here,

Hello Jorge, I haven't heard about this artist. You would be delighted to see the Savitsky Museum in Nukus, as the arts of the prosecuted painters in the time of Stalin is presented there. It was not allowed to take pictures there, I have only a few. Maybe I will send them to you. Interesting painting. But what was a defence of Petrograd in 1928? I must check it.
have a nice new week

Hello Jorge,
Effective framing in a tricky situation, with the bottom of the frame giving the illusion of being tilted to the right but the top perfectly aligned with the horizontal border adjacent. The guy staggering and being helped by his friend in the upper part looks like he has had a bit too much vodka to drink! Tfs!
