This painting belongs to the Russian tradition of landscape painting of the 19th century and has references to landscapes by Isaak Levitan ("March"), Konstantin Yuon ("The March Sun") and Igor Grabar ("February Azure"), all of them at the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow. A significant place in the Churakov's work was occupied by the lyrical landscape. In Chuvash fine art, Vladimir Dmitrievich Churakov stands out for his themes, figurative structure and vision of the world. A virtuoso draftsman, he was known as a master of portraiture, able to quickly grasp and convey the character of a person.
The fame of the young Churakov was established by the picturesque work “Weekdays of the 20’s”, painted in 1969. It was for this picture that he, the first artist of the Chuvash republic, was awarded the prize of the Komsomol of Chuvashia. N.I. Sadyukov wrote about this work: “It found a vivid embodiment of the images of Komsomol members, in incredibly difficult conditions, taking up the restoration of railway transport destroyed during the civil war. ... The tension of those truly heroic days is conveyed on the canvas by thick, dense colors, flashing hot dark cherry, then gray-steel tones. The accuracy of the composition, deep penetration into the images of Komsomol members, the ability to express them in the most convincing form is the main thing for this canvas.”
Painter, graphic artist, teacher and honored artist of the Chuvash Republic, Vladimir Dmitrievich Churakov was a graduate of the Simferopol Art School and the Kharkov Art Institute. After graduating from the Faculty of Painting of the Kharkov Art Institute, his whole life was connected with Chuvashia. He taught at Yakovlev University (as a member of the Art and Graphic Faculty), at the Cheboksary Art School and worked as an artist of the Chuvash Creative and Production Combine of the Art Fund.
Beautiful and original wooden frame is included. The piece (frame included) measures 25 inches by 21 inches.
