Description of the painting by Igor Grabar “ March snow»

“March Snow” was painted by Igor Grabar in 1904, when he was visiting the artist N.V. Meshcherin, his friend, in the village of Churilkovo. Painting snow is an entire art, so Grabar’s words that in “March Snow” he simply “threw paints onto the canvas”, as nature sometimes does, sending them from the sky, resonate here in a special way. The picture was almost finished when, on the thawed path, Grabar saw a girl hurrying to fetch water with a rocker and two buckets. Ten minutes later her figure pink skirt and a blue jacket already decorated the picture. Speaking about the style of execution, we can say that this work of the artist was made in the style of divisionism - the decomposition of color, characteristic of impressionism. The snow and even the dirt on the melted path are made with strokes of pure color, merging into one in the viewer’s eyes and becoming white.

A March day in the village is approaching evening, which is why the shadows from the trees are so long, stretching almost across the entire picture. The tree itself is not visible; it seems to be behind the viewer’s back. The crisp, loose snow under the rays of the spring sun becomes increasingly darker, saturated with water, and heavy. This is exactly how Grabar conveyed it, who found a real symphony of colors in the snowy tones under the rays of the sun. But he has snow not only in blue and blue tones. Here you can find a lot of pink and yellowish colors. There was no longer any snow left on the roofs of the village huts visible in the distance and on the trees. Everything indicates that spring is on the threshold, waiting in the wings. Russian nature, continuing to delight Igor Grabar, helped him create another portrait of its simplicity and perfection. It’s not for nothing that the painting “March Snow” is called a “symphony of colors” - the music of our unique and beloved Fatherland can really be heard in it.

Description of the painting by Igor Grabar “March Snow”

“March Snow” was painted by Igor Grabar in 1904, when he was visiting the artist N.V. Meshcherin, his friend, in the village of Churilkovo. Painting snow is a whole art, so Grabar’s words that in “March Snow” he simply “threw paints onto the canvas”, as nature sometimes does, sending them from the sky, ring in a special way here. The picture was almost finished when, on the thawed path, Grabar saw a girl hurrying to fetch water with a rocker and two buckets. Ten minutes later, her figure in a pink skirt and blue jacket was already decorating the picture. Speaking about the style of execution, we can say that this work of the artist was made in the style of divisionism - the decomposition of color, characteristic of impressionism. The snow and even the dirt on the melted path are made with strokes of pure color, merging into one in the viewer’s eyes and becoming white.

A March day in the village is approaching evening, which is why the shadows from the trees are so long, stretching almost across the entire picture. The tree itself is not visible; it seems to be behind the viewer’s back. The crisp, loose snow under the rays of the spring sun becomes increasingly darker, saturated with water, and heavy. This is exactly how Grabar conveyed it, who found a real symphony of colors in the snowy tones under the rays of the sun. But his snow is not only in blue and light blue tones. Here you can find a lot of pink and yellowish colors. There was no longer any snow left on the roofs of the village huts visible in the distance and on the trees. Everything indicates that spring is on the threshold, waiting in the wings. Russian nature, continuing to delight Igor Grabar, helped him create another portrait of its simplicity and perfection. It’s not for nothing that the painting “March Snow” is called a “symphony of colors” - the music of our unique and beloved Fatherland can really be heard in it.

March is the first month of spring. It is the most capricious and uncertain, because today the sun may be shining outside the window, but tomorrow the weather will deteriorate and everything around will be gray and cloudy. However, without looking at this, we understand perfectly well that soon the warm season - spring - will take full possession and everything around will forget about the cold and cold for a long time.

Talented artist I.E. Grabar noticed the moment when the ground was still covered with snow everywhere, however, it was no longer so threatening and cold. The snow can easily be called loose and stale. More will pass a little time, and this snow crust will disappear from the face of the earth, saturating the earth with melt water!

A woman is depicted in the center of the painting “March Snow”. She carries buckets of water. I think they are filled to the top, because from the silhouette of the heroine it is clear how heavy and uncomfortable her load is. It seems to me that the girl wants to quickly carry her burden and free herself from the burden. Most likely, her house is located near a water source. Otherwise, making frequent trips to fetch water would be an unbearable ordeal.

I.E. Grabar conveys on his canvas the landscape of a real Russian village. main character dressed in warm and practical things that can warm her even in the most severe frosts. The background depicts small village houses, which are surrounded on all sides by boundless natural spaces. In the foreground of the picture, our attention is drawn to shadows from tree trunks and branches. The artist skillfully plays with light, with the shades depicted in the snow.

Looking at the picture, I would be transported to that clearing, feeling the cool, still frosty air. However, the first warm Sun rays make it clear that spring is just around the corner. And very soon it will change the created landscape, dissolve the snow and awaken life.

In the foreground, a young girl is hurrying to fetch water, carrying a rocker with two buckets on one shoulder. Despite the fact that it is March, winter is in no hurry to give up its position - the girl is dressed quite warmly: a padded jacket, a floor-length skirt, and a scarf on her head. It’s not for nothing that people say that when March comes, you need to put on two trousers. After all, even though it’s getting warmer, especially in the sun, it’s still damp outside. And this is especially felt in the evening. You can tell that it’s getting evening by the blue shadows of the trees on the melting snow. Such a shadow can only be obtained in the red rays of the sunset. The snow has already melted on the paths. The path goes somewhere into the distance, and the girl needs to do more to get fresh water big way to the well. Several wooden huts are visible. On the right are the trees, they have already thrown off their warm snow caps and are waiting for warmth. Only the earth is in no hurry to throw off the duvet of snow. We see in the picture all this snow thickness, which will not soon surrender to the rays of the ever-increasing March sun. But the snow has already become spongy, with icy lumps melted by the sun on top. But even this aged snow seems to the artist to be something marvelous. Grabar caught that elusive blue of the snow, which can only be seen at a certain time of the day, more precisely, when the day is about to give way to twilight. There is peace on the street, so quiet and calm, and you can only hear the girl stepping, breaking the thin ice crust that has formed on the path. Only this crunch is heard in the silence. The air already smells of spring, and to show this, the picture is painted softly and lightly. The viewer is attracted by the simplicity of the plot, harmony and beauty. rural life. The artist depicted the ordinary everyday life of the village residents. But he saw inimitable beauty in them. Grabar admires the awakening nature, admires the coming spring, trying to show the still hidden power of melt water, which is about to burst into streams into the village landscape.

The earth is still covered with a snow-white blanket and has not yet thought of parting with it. Despite the fact that it is calendar spring, winter is still not going to give up its powers of power. However, the breath of spring can already be felt and the snow layer is gradually giving way under the onslaught of the March sun, the rays of which are warming more and more.
