The art of Alexander Deineka reflects the aspiration towards new forms of public life — labour, industry, sport, and images of the new citizen. Race contains all the main formal features of Alexander Deineka’s style — a montage-rhythmic structure of the composition, laconic tones, and an austere and graphic style of painting. Race combines concrete elements, generalisation, symbols, images, the spirit of romanticism, and notes of lyricism. Man personifies the motif of freedom and resolute integrity.

The resulting painting is perceived as a joyful hymn to peaceful life against a backdrop of the vast expanses of his native land.

Girl in a Sports Shirt won a gold medal at the World Fair in Paris in 1937. One of the most famous works of Soviet art, it was regarded as a landmark in the artist’s oeuvre. Alexander Samokhvalov recalled: «It was a special joy to paint images of my contemporaries in those years.» The painting was acclaimed by fellow artists and critics alike, while the heroine was hailed as a «Soviet Mona Lisa» at the Exposition Universelle. The artist depicts Yevgenia Adamova, a teacher and activist who retained her freshness and vitality all her life. She is a typical Soviet citizen of the 1930s — spontaneous, enthusiastic and purposeful. Samokhvalov confirms his ideal of a simple beauty not only in his model, but also in the painting — austere, laconic and elegant.
The clear architectonics of the composition, broad painting, frescolike texture and dynamic image contain features of monumentality. Girl in a Sports Shirt embodies the artist’s concept of the era and «a remarkable contemporary, the sort of girl who did not exist before.» Russian Museum: From Icons to the Modern Times.

In this large painting, Samokhvalov depicted the members of a youth communist organisation, who displayed their determination as a group as they were training in order to defend their country. Samokhvalov painted the picture to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the Red Army. The painter was impressed by what he saw at the shooting range: “there was a group of girls, lying down and improving their sniper skills. The bright and colourful clothes of these young people enhance the painting’s colours. The formation of the Komsomol members comes right at the spectator as the girl with a gas mask brings up the rear. There are studies for this painting: “Komsomol Youth” and “Girl at the Military School”.

Like many of Samokhvalov’s paintings, this intimate work creates the impression of a lost fresco fragment. The artist was convinced that modern life should be depicted in monumental forms, and took inspiration from the art of Antiquity, the Renaissance and Ancient Rus. He strove to embed the depicted moment into historical perspective, to underline its significance, to shroud it in a romantic aura. His models were for the most part young people, the embodiment of a splendid utopian future which they were called upon to create and inhabit. In the role of a dreamy young athlete Samokhvalov depicted his eldest daughter Maria.

Antique sources can be clearly seen in Samokhvalov’s works devoted to the themes of physical training and sports, which he was especially involved with in the latter half of the 30s. The heroine of Soviet athletics in the work After the Cross-Country Race arises like a Venus de Milo come to life, offering her bold nudity to the world with the dignity of a goddess.

Sport was one of the most popular themes in Soviet art in the mid-1920s and 1930s. Called upon to form the ideal of the new man, artists discerned its prototype in athletes — handsome young men and women perfecting their bodies and hardening the spirit. Sportsmen became the main characters of the works of Alexander Samokhvalov, who dreamt of uniting them in a grandiose monumental composition. Perhaps that is why so many of his paintings of this period are like details of a large, multi-figure fresco. The artist himself described sport as an “existential joy” helping people overcome difficulties “in the struggle for the creation of a new life” and furthering their “love for humankind”. “I loved sport as the culture of healthy, vivacious and joyful people… I was attracted to the healthy creative spirit in healthy bodies,” he wrote.

Sergei Mironovich Kirov (Kostrikov) (1886–1934): Communist arty functionary and member of he Soviet leadership. First secretary of the Communist Party in Leningrad (1926–34).
Following Sergei Kirov’s murder in 1934, a multitude of portraits and works on themes from his real and mythical biographies appeared in Soviet painting and sculpture. Alexander Samokhvalov painted a portrait of Kirov, Kirov on a Construction Site and his first ever large picture-panel — Sergei Kirov Receiving a Parade of Athletes. The artist had long dreamt of painting a multi-figure monumental picture resolved like a fresco. Work on the canvas lasted a long time. Striving to create a fresco-like effect, Samokhvalov experimented with colours, seeking decorative tones that would simultaneously be lifelike and natural. He finally chose a classical and solemn gamut of warm tones. The action takes place on Palace Square in Leningrad. The space is enclosed by the facade of General Headquarters with an enormous portrait of Lenin. The eyes of the athletes are rivetted on the figure of Sergei Kirov and other members of the Leningrad government on the rostrum. A group of girls break away from the main group to hand Kirov a bouquet of flowers.
The concept and painting of the panel reflect the main tendencies in the Soviet art of the 1930s. This was an aspiration towards monumentality and an image of the new Soviet citizen — a labourer, hero and romantic, morally and physically strong and handsome.

The idea of conquering space and time, key for other genres and types of Soviet art as well, became in the 1920s and 1930s extremely important in reference to works about sport. The ideological and instructional aspects of sport connected with the task of preparing physically developed people, “ready for labour and defence”, became the main focus (the legendary GTO (ready for labour and defence) pin appears in 1930, when the topic of sport is definitively confirmed as an important division of Soviet art). Sport as an integral part of preparing the Soviet individual for any difficulty becomes a leitmotif in the work of many artists, including Adlivankin.

The Toksovo-Kavgolovo district near Petersburg (Leningrad) is the true ski center of the Karelian Isthmus. A great number of sporting facilities are located here, including the famous Kavgolovo Ski Jumps and many international-class ski trails. A natural slope around 40 to 50 meters high and extending for several kilometers forms the basis for the downhill ski trails. This is a very small slope by European standards, but thousands of Leningraders of all ages learned and perfected the basics of alpine skiing on it, some achieving the heights of mastery.

The idea of a harmoniously developed person was intentionally cultivated in the 1930s and made an appearance in the work of practically every Soviet artist. This painting by Chupyatov, celebrating beauty, strength, and youth, is executed using exclusively picturesque dynamic tools. The diagonal composition, the planetary vision encompassing the Earth, the exaggerated light — all of these together work to create a buoyant image and to sing the praises of an optimistic outlook on life.

Dmitry Zhilinsky often manifested his creative aspirations in portraiture. One of the idiosyncrasies of his art was his habit of depicting in the concrete not the fleeting, but the most important element of a man’s personality. Zhilinsky preferred clear, collected and intellectual images. He was inspired by the art of the Old Masters, particularly the early Italian Renaissance and Old Russian painting. The artist openly addresses the art of the past in his modem images: «l love exactness of expression and completeness of form – in my own understanding of these words, of course». Zhilinsky’s works are distinguished by their pure and decorative tones, melodious lines, plastic silhouettes and harmonic compositions. The artist’s painting technique was also unusual; he frequently worked in tempera on Ievkas, lending a colourist sublimity to his works. «Gymnasts of the USSR» is, in essence, a group portrait of famous Soviet sportsmen, many of them world and Olympic champions. Among the figures in the background are Polina Astakhova (triple Olympic and twice world champion), Boris Shakhlin (triple Olympic and twice world champion) and Yury Titov (Olympic and world champion, later president of the International Federation of Gymnasts). An original personal «tuning» of thought, will and feelings can be seen in the heroes’ faces and expressive gestures. The distinct composition, sharp foreshortenings and pure tones are also psychological.

Sport was one of the most popular themes in Soviet art in the mid-1920s and 1930s. Called upon to form the ideal of the new man, artists discerned its prototype in athletes — handsome young men and women perfecting their bodies and hardening the spirit. Sportsmen became the main characters of the works of Alexander Samokhvalov, who dreamt of uniting them in a grandiose monumental composition. Perhaps that is why so many of his paintings of this period are like details of a large, multi-figure fresco. The artist himself described sport as an “existential joy” helping people overcome difficulties “in the struggle for the creation of a new life” and furthering their “love for humankind”. “I loved sport as the culture of healthy, vivacious and joyful people… I was attracted to the healthy creative spirit in healthy bodies,” he wrote.

Sergei Mironovich Kirov (Kostrikov) (1886–1934): Communist arty functionary and member of he Soviet leadership. First secretary of the Communist Party in Leningrad (1926–34).
Following Sergei Kirov’s murder in 1934, a multitude of portraits and works on themes from his real and mythical biographies appeared in Soviet painting and sculpture. Alexander Samokhvalov painted a portrait of Kirov, Kirov on a Construction Site and his first ever large picture-panel — Sergei Kirov Receiving a Parade of Athletes. The artist had long dreamt of painting a multi-figure monumental picture resolved like a fresco. Work on the canvas lasted a long time. Striving to create a fresco-like effect, Samokhvalov experimented with colours, seeking decorative tones that would simultaneously be lifelike and natural. He finally chose a classical and solemn gamut of warm tones. The action takes place on Palace Square in Leningrad. The space is enclosed by the facade of General Headquarters with an enormous portrait of Lenin. The eyes of the athletes are rivetted on the figure of Sergei Kirov and other members of the Leningrad government on the rostrum. A group of girls break away from the main group to hand Kirov a bouquet of flowers.
The concept and painting of the panel reflect the main tendencies in the Soviet art of the 1930s. This was an aspiration towards monumentality and an image of the new Soviet citizen — a labourer, hero and romantic, morally and physically strong and handsome.

The idea of conquering space and time, key for other genres and types of Soviet art as well, became in the 1920s and 1930s extremely important in reference to works about sport. The ideological and instructional aspects of sport connected with the task of preparing physically developed people, “ready for labour and defence”, became the main focus (the legendary GTO (ready for labour and defence) pin appears in 1930, when the topic of sport is definitively confirmed as an important division of Soviet art). Sport as an integral part of preparing the Soviet individual for any difficulty becomes a leitmotif in the work of many artists, including Adlivankin.

Dmitry Zhilinsky often manifested his creative aspirations in portraiture. One of the idiosyncrasies of his art was his habit of depicting in the concrete not the fleeting, but the most important element of a man’s personality. Zhilinsky preferred clear, collected and intellectual images. He was inspired by the art of the Old Masters, particularly the early Italian Renaissance and Old Russian painting. The artist openly addresses the art of the past in his modem images: «l love exactness of expression and completeness of form – in my own understanding of these words, of course». Zhilinsky’s works are distinguished by their pure and decorative tones, melodious lines, plastic silhouettes and harmonic compositions. The artist’s painting technique was also unusual; he frequently worked in tempera on Ievkas, lending a colourist sublimity to his works. «Gymnasts of the USSR» is, in essence, a group portrait of famous Soviet sportsmen, many of them world and Olympic champions. Among the figures in the background are Polina Astakhova (triple Olympic and twice world champion), Boris Shakhlin (triple Olympic and twice world champion) and Yury Titov (Olympic and world champion, later president of the International Federation of Gymnasts). An original personal «tuning» of thought, will and feelings can be seen in the heroes’ faces and expressive gestures. The distinct composition, sharp foreshortenings and pure tones are also psychological.

Dmitry Zhilinsky often manifested his creative aspirations in portraiture. One of the idiosyncrasies of his art was his habit of depicting in the concrete not the fleeting, but the most important element of a man’s personality. Zhilinsky preferred clear, collected and intellectual images. He was inspired by the art of the Old Masters, particularly the early Italian Renaissance and Old Russian painting. The artist openly addresses the art of the past in his modem images: «l love exactness of expression and completeness of form – in my own understanding of these words, of course». Zhilinsky’s works are distinguished by their pure and decorative tones, melodious lines, plastic silhouettes and harmonic compositions. The artist’s painting technique was also unusual; he frequently worked in tempera on Ievkas, lending a colourist sublimity to his works. «Gymnasts of the USSR» is, in essence, a group portrait of famous Soviet sportsmen, many of them world and Olympic champions. Among the figures in the background are Polina Astakhova (triple Olympic and twice world champion), Boris Shakhlin (triple Olympic and twice world champion) and Yury Titov (Olympic and world champion, later president of the International Federation of Gymnasts). An original personal «tuning» of thought, will and feelings can be seen in the heroes’ faces and expressive gestures. The distinct composition, sharp foreshortenings and pure tones are also psychological.

The art of Alexander Deineka reflects the aspiration towards new forms of public life — labour, industry, sport, and images of the new citizen. Race contains all the main formal features of Alexander Deineka’s style — a montage-rhythmic structure of the composition, laconic tones, and an austere and graphic style of painting. Race combines concrete elements, generalisation, symbols, images, the spirit of romanticism, and notes of lyricism. Man personifies the motif of freedom and resolute integrity.

Antique sources can be clearly seen in Samokhvalov’s works devoted to the themes of physical training and sports, which he was especially involved with in the latter half of the 30s. The heroine of Soviet athletics in the work After the Cross-Country Race arises like a Venus de Milo come to life, offering her bold nudity to the world with the dignity of a goddess.

Sport was one of the most popular themes in Soviet art in the mid-1920s and 1930s. Called upon to form the ideal of the new man, artists discerned its prototype in athletes — handsome young men and women perfecting their bodies and hardening the spirit. Sportsmen became the main characters of the works of Alexander Samokhvalov, who dreamt of uniting them in a grandiose monumental composition. Perhaps that is why so many of his paintings of this period are like details of a large, multi-figure fresco. The artist himself described sport as an “existential joy” helping people overcome difficulties “in the struggle for the creation of a new life” and furthering their “love for humankind”. “I loved sport as the culture of healthy, vivacious and joyful people… I was attracted to the healthy creative spirit in healthy bodies,” he wrote.

The Toksovo-Kavgolovo district near Petersburg (Leningrad) is the true ski center of the Karelian Isthmus. A great number of sporting facilities are located here, including the famous Kavgolovo Ski Jumps and many international-class ski trails. A natural slope around 40 to 50 meters high and extending for several kilometers forms the basis for the downhill ski trails. This is a very small slope by European standards, but thousands of Leningraders of all ages learned and perfected the basics of alpine skiing on it, some achieving the heights of mastery.

In this large painting, Samokhvalov depicted the members of a youth communist organisation, who displayed their determination as a group as they were training in order to defend their country. Samokhvalov painted the picture to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the Red Army. The painter was impressed by what he saw at the shooting range: “there was a group of girls, lying down and improving their sniper skills. The bright and colourful clothes of these young people enhance the painting’s colours. The formation of the Komsomol members comes right at the spectator as the girl with a gas mask brings up the rear. There are studies for this painting: “Komsomol Youth” and “Girl at the Military School”.
