필립 말리아빈(Filipp Malyavin), 러시아, 화가, 1869-1940
강렬한 붉은색이 특징인 러시아 화가 '필립 말리아빈'은 주로 농촌의 여성들을 많이 그렸습니다. 가난한 농부의 아들로 태어난 그는, 어릴 적 그리스 수도사가 가져온 성화를 보고 반해, 성화를 배우려고 수도사를 따라 그리스 아토스로 갔습니다.
하지만 아토스 수도원에는 방대한 컬렉션만 있을 뿐, 러시아 성화를 복제하여 그리고 있었죠. 돌아갈 여비도 없어서, 그냥 눌러앉아 6년 동안 수도원의 벽화 그리는 일을 했답니다.
다행히 그의 재주를 알아본 러시아 미술가의 도움으로 상 페테르부르크로 돌아와 정식으로 미술공부를 시작하고, '레핀'의 제자가 되기도 헸습니다.
화려한 색조로 채워진 그의 작품은 매우 색달랐죠. 당시의 러시아 풍조와는 너무 달라 논란의 대상이 되기도 했습니다. 러시아보다는 파리 등 유럽에서 더 인정받았던 화가입니다.
About Him
Filipp Andreevich Malyavin (October 22, 1869, the village of Kazanka, Samara Province - December 23, 1940, Nice, France) was a Russian painter and draftsman. He began to master the basics of painting in the monastery of Mount Athos, from where he enrolled at the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts and studied under the personal guidance of Ilya Repin. He painted portraits, for the most part, combining the main characteristics of impressionism, expressionism and modernism. Since the 90s of the XIX century, he had been gaining major inspiration in painting powerful portraits of men of the people and had been diligently developing a peasant theme almost until the end of life.
Features of the artist Filipp Malyavin’s works: his paintings were rather indefatigable and had an exuberant character to them. His art did not fit into specific stylistic boundaries and impressed both with the scale of the paintings (Malyavin rarely took up canvas less than a square meter in size) and with his passion for painting, which was embodied in the swift pressure of a swirl brushstroke and fiery red colors.
Famous paintings by Filipp Malyavin: “Laughter”, “Whirlwind”, “Wench”, “Peasant Girl”, “Peasant Women”, “Self-Portrait with Wife and Daughter”, “Peasant Girl Knitting a Stocking”.
The biography of the artist Malyavin was as exuberant, exciting and eccentric as his paintings were. Being a child from a poor peasant family, he had made his way from a novice in the monastery of Mount Athos to a student at The Russian Academy of Arts in Saint Petersburg and then became a fashionable, widely known painter in Europe.
His independent and peculiar vision of the Russian peasantry provoked the indignation of domestic critics and the delight of overseas connoisseurs of exotic art performed by an extravagant prodigy from the Russian outback.
