What is an industrial landscape in painting? Industrial landscape

In the 30s of the last century, an interesting direction appeared, called “industrial landscape”. Windmills in the fields, huge plates in the mountains, cows against the background of pipes - all this is in today's selection of industrial landscapes.

The victorious October Revolution of 1917 made a radical revolution not only in the political and social life of society; it radically transformed the culture, consciousness, and worldview of people. Despite the difficult living conditions, civil war, devastation and famine, the 1920s and 1930s became one of the most productive years in terms of creative search in painting, architecture, literature, theater, and cinema. True, then, after this cultural breakthrough, a return movement began, with the suppression of “degenerate art,” which essentially contradicted the ideological line of the party and the Soviet government.

But this will be in the future, which in the 1920s seemed bright and inviting - with its perspective, novelty, scale. With the proclamation of programs for economic transformation of the country, electrification, industrialization, construction of a new, communist society, the whole country turned into one large construction site, where the main character was the working class, transforming the surrounding reality at an unprecedented pace.

Against the backdrop of agricultural landscapes and untouched nature, enterprises in the electric power industry, chemistry and petrochemistry, mechanical engineering, metallurgy, and heavy industry began to be built en masse.

The scale of the transformation shocked not only the average person, but also artists of various genres and trends. The organizers and followers of the “Jack of Diamonds”, “Donkey’s Tail” and other avant-garde associations of Russian painters actively became involved in a life inspired by labor romance and enthusiasm, shifting the emphasis from the “scarecrows” (as Ilya Mashkov called his Fauvist portraits) to the creation of proletarian architectural masterpieces (such , like “Tatlin’s Tower”), posters, industrial landscapes.

Below is A. Kuprin’s early work “Factory. Etude”, written almost in the style of cubism, although the author avoids the fragmentation of objects characteristic of this direction.

Masters such as Alexander Kuprin, Konstantin Bogaevsky, Alexander Deineka, Alexander Labas, as well as a number of other artists, put aside still lifes, portraits and nudes in order to create a new direction, called industrial landscape. This capacious concept included not only canvases depicting factories or new buildings, but also other economic subjects - the construction of new cities and significant objects, power plants and dams, railways and locomotives, leaders of production in the surroundings of technical equipment, machine tools, tractors, cranes.

The artists who painted industrial landscapes were not opportunists trying to ride the new fashion wave and at the same time please the authorities. Their paintings were not “colorized photographs.” The canvases of the masters of this movement convey to the viewer the powerful pulse of that time, the enthusiasm of the workers, and the enormous scale of economic transformations. At the same time, we can observe the transfer of industrial rhythm and creative spirit through various styles - socialist realism, avant-gardeism, impressionism and even futurism (the latter direction for the cities of the future is very popular even now). Probably, M. Larionov and N. Goncharova’s term “allism” would be appropriate here,

implying the use of all techniques and styles.

Below are paintings by K. Bogaevsky, painted by him in different styles in 1932 and 1935.

The painting “Bibi-Heybat”, in which the artist depicted oil developments near Baku, amazes us with its static nature and complete lack of movement. The viewer sees only towering oil rigs, residential and industrial buildings near them. Nothing indicates a date; the external observer seems to find himself in a space devoid of time. Only production facilities that are waiting for workers. Who and when will give the signal to start work remains a mystery. Complete staticity and understatement makes the picture look like an “industrial icon.” In its execution, K. Bogaevsky’s masterpiece resembles the paintings of De Chirico, who worked in a metaphysical style.

The artist chooses completely different approaches when painting pictures about the construction of the Dnieper hydroelectric station. On one of them, Dneprostroy is depicted in an almost impressionistic manner, where the play of light occupies one of the central places. Spotlight beams and flashes from welding work enliven the composition with dynamics and creativity, showing that work does not stop even in the evening and at night.

In the painting “Panorama of the construction of the Dnieper Hydroelectric Power Station,” Bogaevsky adheres to a realistic style, carefully depicting the details of the extensive construction site.

The works of Alexander Kuprin are designed in a more uniform and recognizable style, which depicts not only production sites, but also clearly distinguishable workers engaged in creative work.

The canvases of A. Labas have a unique style and charisma, choosing a special palette of colors for the industrial landscape, characteristic of pastels. In the artist's execution, the enterprises and the surrounding landscape come to a state of harmony, which pleases the eye of an external observer.

Paintings by artists representing the industrial landscape were used in the pre- and post-war periods

demand from the corporate sector. This type of painting was also close to the working masses, who perceived it as understandable, accessible, and advanced. The paintings of the industrialists did not require additional explanations and lectures, almost necessary for the Suprematism of Malevich or the abstractions of Kandinsky. Everything was done not only in a highly artistic style, but also had an educational and propaganda function that set the viewer in a creative mood.

Projections from the industrial landscape became monumental paintings, mosaics and embossings that decorated the buildings of Soviet cities, enterprise territories and park areas. Industrial landscapes have been and continue to be an indispensable attribute of executive offices, lobbies and corporate museums. This Soviet tradition has been preserved in a somewhat transformed form even now, having become part of the organizational culture of not only industrial, but also service, transport and other companies.

It should be noted that over time, attitudes towards the industrial landscape have changed. This became especially noticeable after man-made disasters in Bhopal, Chernobyl, extensive oil spills, and the appearance of industrial smog over the cities.

The pipes of industrial enterprises have become a symbol of environmental pollution, the increase in greenhouse gases, wastewater, and the exploitation of people and the environment. In the late 1990s and 2000s, the industrial landscape increasingly began to be used in the genre of grotesque and caricature.

At the same time, the industrial landscape continues to develop taking into account new trends in industrial and landscape design, moving to a new stage of its evolution.

Industrial landscape - a whole layer of socialist realism in painting

The period of socialist construction in our country was associated with numerous changes in people's lives. This could not but affect the fine arts, which at that time acquired a special character. The changes affected all genres of painting, and, of course, the landscape was not spared. In the thirties of the last century, the direction of the so-called “industrial landscape” was formed, in which the romantic view of the active restoration of the national economy and the construction of many impressive industrial facilities was clearly reflected. Many thematic paintings by artists were dedicated to the greatness of construction projects and the achievements of the Soviet people in labor and industrial development. However, many Soviet artists could not help but touch upon the creative side of the life of ordinary people, the psychology of their personality.
The appeal to topical themes of the era of socialist realism can be clearly seen in the paintings of Soviet artists V.G. Gremitskikh, G.M. Gordon, L.I. Galakhov, S.F. Solovyov, E.D. Ishmametov and many others. The works of these talented masters of painting in all their diversity are presented in the impressive collection of Alexander Gremitsky. The sale of industrial landscapes of socialist realism will be a unique opportunity for you to profitably purchase aesthetic works of fine art from a bygone era to replenish your own collection of paintings or as a painting as a gift to people significant to you.

Features of the industrial landscape of socialist realism

Socialist realism arose as a movement during the era of active construction of Soviet society. At the same time, the view of the surrounding reality provided for a special ideological bias. Soviet painting, like other forms of art, was supposed to become a guide for Soviet people to believe in a bright future and show the advantages of the then existing political system.
The industrial landscape of the artists of that time was intended to reflect the development
technical progress - the construction of large economic and industrial facilities, an increase in the volume of agricultural supplies, and the affirmation of the idea of the joy of human labor. Such large thematic paintings created a visually successful image of a great power and were supposed to tune the entire people to an optimistic perception of the then reality. Many painters who turned to this theme were able to create, using various artistic means, truly talented works that reflected the scale of construction projects, the incredible greatness of people's labor, a charge of vigor and faith in a bright tomorrow.
At the same time, the artists were able to clearly convey their personal attitude to the theme they chose for their industrial landscapes, filling the paintings with elements of romanticism and optimism. A clear example of industrial landscapes can be safely called such works of painting as “Construction of the Kuibyshev Hydroelectric Power Station”, “Lights of Kuibyshevhydrostroy” by artist Vladimir Gremitskikh.

Industrial landscape. Here the artist seeks to show the role and importance of man - the creator, builder of plants and factories, dams and power plants. This landscape appeared in Soviet times. It was caused by the idea of restoring the national economy after the devastating years of the civil war. It began in the 20s with B. Yakovlev’s painting “Transport is getting better.” The sparse pictorial and narrative language of the painting seems to be akin to a harsh time. The poetics of the industrial landscape became a central theme in the work of many artists throughout the 20th century. B. Yakovlev “Transport is getting better.”
