Month: November 2018

If I want to see the work of other artists, to understand the style of today’s art, to get acquainted from the work of other people or to understand what is now relevant, always go to the gallery.
Since I am now in Kiev, for me the most interesting exhibition is in the Pinchuk Art Gallery.
For more than ten years, his collection is always interesting.
I enjoyed visiting the exhibition in November 2018.

Today’s exhibition is dedicated about woman:
,,Woman and ex-USSR.,,
,,Woman and socialism.,,
,,Creativity of women in post-socialism.,,
,,What happened to a woman in the USSR,,

Strange choice. Strange, dirty, tangled thoughts,  shows naked women.
Statue of women chained in concrete (monumentalism)
In short, art is on the verge of burning out.
Three floors with different rooms. In one hall, the author from the European Union collects water from the Dnieper, makes a block of ice, drains it into a tank and pours it into the Dnieper. He fights for the purity of nature.
And in other halls there is a struggle around a woman, so I will call everything that I saw.
In fact, scary.
In socialism, everything that was created by Eastern society suffered for so long.
Erasing the line between a man and a woman.
And the show wants to show both crap and results. Both are very sad.
The fact that women’s rights are violated ….is….. yes.
And the fact that it is too late to realize that, the whole world has changed….it… is.

So,my conclusions:there is art and artists react to what happened to them.

Folk art is gathered in one room.

It is  creativity of not professional female artists. There are primitive paintings,but they are bright.

I have  heard about the curtains, embroidered in the style of the Kama Sutra, about sex. But I saw them for the first time

 

The next exhibit — it seems to me, is an angel wing.
But prayer is on him.
Maybe it  is map of  country.
It’s like a picture made from a piece of wood.

Back to the murals on the walls:

 

 

Paintings in style resembling painted walls in thatched houses. Often it was painted by women to decorate their houses and decorate them.

Exhibited by one painting of famous folklore artists Maria Priymachenko

 

and Katerina Belokur

Both women create to decorate  walls with animals and flowers.
And payment for creativity, they were whole life lonely.

 

This is a difficult legacy of our time – a woman and loneliness. A high percentage of women in the country live by themselves, alone. Many divorces. Many raise children themselves. It is very difficult in our time. Very difficult.
Therefore, probably, I was interested in the posters of the builders of socialism.
Motivation simply destroys the authenticity of women. And the goal is aimed right at the heart, let’s drop everything, go work, go build, go help.
Fearfully

 

Each of these posters symbolizes a woman, as a country, as a motherland, as a mother:

But there were very few in really.

Women- go to work in collective farms….and they went, worked very hard.

 

Woman- help rebuild the country.

Women -workers of the USSR.

This is a very interesting poster – a woman if she becomes in government  , she will help the growth of culture

 

Through DD societies destroy orphanage and homelessness.

 

Gymnasts and gymnasts is the pride of our country.
This poster is still relevant.

 

This is the subject of today’s block.
I didn’t take a lot of photos.
I  watched a very difficult movie. I watched it completely.
Movie was shot in the 1990s and I did not agree with the main idea of the film . So that the author understand what happens with Ukraine. Tied up with ropes, a naked, torn, raped woman.
But this is the judgment of the author.
I take a more conservative position in such decisions.
I change everything with love.

 

 

That’s all for today.
