How to get to the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts
Address: Moscow, Volkhonka st., 12.
The nearest metro station is Kropotkinskaya. The museum is located on the opposite side of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior. The museum includes three buildings: the main building, the Gallery of European and American Art of the 19th-20th centuries. and the building of the museum of private collections. Since the Gallery is the first one on the way from the metro, the sign of which also says that this is the Pushkin Museum, you can not reach the main building and walk around the Gallery. Sometimes there is a queue at the ticket office of the Main Building, which can become a landmark for entering the Museum.
The Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts is located in the very center, not far from other
Once every few months, the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts gets younger. On April 10, the action "I'll show you the museum" was held there for the third time. Pupils of the Club of Young Art Critics at the museum conducted free tours for everyone throughout the day - from 11 am to 7 pm. "Tatyana's Day" visited three excursions and would have stayed more if I had the strength.
As usual, there is a crowd at the Pushkinsky box office. There are no signs about the action, it is not easy to find the right entrance. Teenagers scurry up and down the stairs. The Brownian movement of youth is especially noticeable among the monolithic, art-hungry queue.
“You buy a ticket only for the entrance, and the tours themselves are free,” they tell me.
Teenagers in white T-shirts with the words "I'll show you the museum" are sitting along the stairs. I recall the phrase of Comrade Dynin from the movie “Welcome, or No Trespassing”: “Children! You are the masters of the camp." Today, children are the owners of one of the main museums in the country. For one day they become caretakers, administrators, guides.
The same T-shirts, only black, are worn by the guys in the Art Gallery of Europe and America. They are curators: they themselves approach visitors and offer to tell about the paintings.
These young people from 13 to 19 years old with their curators from the Museion Center for Aesthetic Education of Children and Youth prepared for almost two months more than 20 different excursions for adults and children, a quest game with prizes for the winners, live pictures, and musical accompaniment. When X-day comes, both visitors and young art critics get excited.
The main building of the Pushkin Museum looks like a buzzing beehive. At the entrance to the halls, a dark-haired girl holds a sign with the name of the tour high above her head. Raspberry pants, a braid to the waist, a smartphone sticking out of his pocket. Her name is Anya Volkovitskaya, she is 14 years old.
- Look look! She pushes her friend. Have you seen how many people I have?
Sin in the mirrors of epochs
In the main building of the museum on Volkhonka, it is not the curators who come to visit the visitors, but the visitors to the guides. Anna was brought to me by her friend Polina. We were late for the start of the "Sin in Art" tour, and now Anya "out of favor" repeats the first part for us.
- Do you like studying here?
- I go to the Club of young art historians for the first year. We study on Saturdays, and I really like it,” Anya says as we run around the halls of Pushkinsky.
Each action "I'll show you a museum" has its own theme. The theme of the third meeting is travel.
- How do you prepare for the tour?
“First, I write it. Then the curator checks what has been written and makes corrections. Then I learn what I wrote by heart. Then we have an audition: the first with the curator, the second with a stranger. And then we go to the groups.
There are many who want to hear about sin in art. Anya is proud of her popularity.
- The concept of sin in antiquity was different from the Christian one. Before you is the sculptural composition "Athena and Marsyas". Does anyone know who Marsyas is?.. As we know, Athena invented the flute or, in Greek, the aulos, on which she loved to play. Aphrodite and Hera laughed at her, because during the game, Athena's cheeks were very swollen. When she saw her reflection, Athena threw the flute to the ground in anger. She was picked up by the strong Marsyas, who learned to play the instrument so masterfully that he challenged Apollo himself to a duel. There are still disputes about who won, but the result was disappointing for Marsyas: Apollo became angry, tied the satyr to a tree and tore off his skin. In this case, it was considered a sin that the strong dared to challenge God to a duel.
To Luca Giordano's painting "Apollo and Marsyas" - red shades of flesh, a bloody knife, drooping skin - the listeners are led by another young guide - Katya Kaplina. Her tour is called "Suffering Through Stone and Canvas."
- Tell me, can children go on your tour? asks the mother of a seven-year-old boy.
Don't worry, we don't have age restrictions.
Katya is serious and unhurried. She tells the audience not only about poor Marcia, but also about the suffering of Christian martyrs. For example, Saint Lawrence was roasted alive on an iron grate for openly confessing the Christian faith and refusing to bow to pagan gods.
“And here, on a polyptych by Francesco d’Antonio da Ancona of the 14th century, we see that St. Catherine was wheeled. She is standing with a palm branch in her hands, and do you see the wheel on the back right?
Children silently look at the sash with the image of the saint. Looks like it's time to get outside.
Zero emotions and very smart
Each tour lasts from half an hour to forty minutes. A detailed schedule on topics and start times can be obtained from the guys at the counter, at the entrance to the museum halls.
- Are you going somewhere else? Anya asks me.
– I… I don’t know, but can I?
“Sure, go if you have time. This guy yesterday made me comments on my excursion. He corrected mistakes, said that there was little scientific approach.
A group of people walk past us, led by a young man with glasses.
“What if I go on a tour with him?”
- Go down. It will be very smart. Well, very much.
Hellenism and the Mahabharata
The excursion "Woe to the vanquished" is conducted by Nikita Pravlshchikov.
- What competitions do you know? Nikita asks.
- Sports.
- Yes, this is the easiest option, the first thing that comes to mind. No, no, don't worry, I specifically asked the question to get this exact answer. Thank you for helping me.
For his fifteen, Nikita is very smart: he compares Greek myths with the Indian epic Mahabharata and, like any teenager, does not seem to doubt that he is right.
Journey into the depths of centuries begins with antiquity. A copy of the frieze of the altar of Zeus in Pergamon (the city of Bergama in modern Turkey) reflects the myth of how Kronid kills the Titans, and Gaia, their mother, looks at what is happening with horror. Although her face has not been preserved, it can be seen that in ancient art, facial expressions appear only in the Hellenistic era. Before that, sculptors got by with what in the language of art historians is usually called an archaic smile.
Archaic smile hides emotions. Screaming and crying at ancient statues is somehow not out of hand: The “Wounded Amazon” by the sculptor Polikleitos is bleeding, but it is difficult to understand from her calm face that she is in pain.
She's actually in pain, and she's almost laughing. You know that all modern gags (from the English gag - a joke, a comic episode, a comedy technique based on obvious absurdity - "TD") actually came from Aristophanes. He described everything long ago in his Clouds. Imagine, since then comedians have not come up with anything new! Does anyone remember what Hercules' feat was the Lernean Hydra?
“Second, I think,” the girl replies.
“That's right, and the first one was the Nemean Lion. Well, I won’t load you, Nikita tells the listeners. - You have questions?
Adult listeners smile guiltily.
- In fact, they say that there are no questions when everything is clear to everyone or the guide has tired everyone, so goodbye!
And the teenager with a confident gait leaves the imaginary stage, leaving the listeners with a desire to re-read the myths immediately upon arrival home.
Back to the Future
It's scary with them. They are angular and clumsy, but they are guides to the world of beauty. But worst of all, they ask questions.
Why is there a cross on the church when Christ had not yet been crucified and no one knew what the cross was a symbol of? Anya asks, pointing to 11th-century doors depicting biblical scenes. She runs through the halls of Pushkin as if she were in her apartment. I try to keep up - I'm afraid of getting lost. The answer to her simple question, I, of course, do not know.
- Yes, because the sculptor just wanted to indicate that this is a church. After all, people could not read, how to show them that the church is the church? Make a cross on the roof.
They make you pay attention to the obvious - composition, light, colors. And they interpret the symbols not in a dry scientific language, but as if every day they meet painters and sculptors in the subway.
“Would you like to pursue art in the future?”
- And who will I work then?
- I don’t know, a museum curator, maybe ... A history teacher.
No, they don't pay much for it. I want to become a military translator.
- A military translator?
- Yes, I just have an institute next to my house. I love languages.
Polina, Anna and I are sitting on a leather bench in front of the statue of David. Anya tells us about the Cranachs: their exhibition is on at the Pushkin Museum until May 15th. You need to buy a separate ticket for it, so we watch the pictures via the Internet on the smartphone screen.
- In general, Cranachs is the Northern Renaissance. Why northern? Because north of Italy. Do you see the vine? It is a symbol of the blood of Christ. Wine is made from grapes, and the artist decided to indicate this in the picture. His future victim. The curators told us a lot about it yesterday, but I didn’t remember everything. Do you know each other at all?
I look at Polina, then at Anya.
“To be honest, we just met. We were late for your tour together.
- Wow! And what a big group I had!
In the evening I read a review on the Internet: “Thank you very much for the action “I will show you the museum”. It was very interesting. I liked the tour "Sin in Art" very much. Anya, who led it, impressed us with a great speech. Also valuable was her attempt to show how sin was portrayed in different eras, in different countries. I forward the message to Anya: they say, look, you have been noticed!
- Wow! Thanks for sending!
It's not every day that thirty-two people listen to you.
