work, this was konyunkov’s work for it was very important for him, in fact konyunkov depicts the angelictory is a laurel branch. i still won’t leave him, because he’s good, good, of course, everything that concerns you, everything that concerns me, god, what a man, the main thing that a man has is a propeller. fantastic on friday on the first. so, we move on to the next period in konenok’s life in 1923. leaves for america and stays there for more than 20 years, and he doesn’t leave alone, but leaves with his young wife, this is his second wife, margarita. ivanovna, varantsov’s last name, in my opinion, was, yes, she was from sarapol, a wonderful city on the banks of the kama. so, this is the most mysteriously external plot. sergei timofeevich was invited. he was the committee for organizing art exhibitions and tours at the all-russian central institute in order to join the exhibition committee, the exhibition was supposed to be shown in the united states of america, as it were, the best work modern russian art, young soviet art was not young at all, the works of recognized artists of t

the fact is that already during the exhibition, konyunkov received his first order from dr.ready a story connected with albert einstein, he was indeed in immediate demand, that is , the americans really liked him, a year later he had already organized a personal exhibition at grant central palace, this is also very prestigious, very important, they dissuaded him from going, they were also in america, they would have been there, unlike him from yesenin he really liked it there, no, well , as i understand it, he also missed his homeland, and margarita ivanovna recalled this very interestingly, just that when konenkov worked, naturally, commissioned portraits, for money, were needed for something to live, otherwise if he didn’t like a person, he didn’t like making his portrait, he cursed, and she was a translator. she, he spoke a lot, and she translated little, they asked her why mr. kanenkov speaks a lot, and you translate so little, she said that these are the peculiarities of russian speech, this is a wonderful memory, wonderful, but let’s go back, yes, let’s go back to this

konyunkov and the seventeenth year?t popular after the seventeenth year, probably the sculptor embraces the revolution, like mayakovsky, he becomes the first sculptor of the young republic, this is a very interesting perception, so now i’m just working on yesenin, because this is very biblical perception of the events that took place, the birth of a new state, the birth of a new bethlehem, and sergei timofeevich knew the psalter. so, we move on to the next period in konenok’s life in 1923, he leaves for america and remains there for more than 20 years, and he does not leave alone, but leaves with his young wife, this is his second wife. margarita ivanovna, varantsov’s last name was, yes, she was from sarapola, a wonderful city on the banks of the kama, and so, this is the actual external plot. sergei timofeevich was invited by the committee for organizing art exhibitions and tours , in order to be included in the exhibition committee, the exhibition intended to show the united states of america, as it were, the best wor

konyunkov turns to the academy, where he is told that the sculpture was destroyed by taking the ownerso let’s move forward, so, konenkov and the revolution, in short 905 and 917, olegich, there was a famous barricade on the arbat, which was commanded by konyonkov, as i understand it, why did he not like the tsarist regime, which favored him, gave him an education, gave him honors, what did he want? well , i can’t say he was a blessing, but no less wonderful, and when they always tell me that the christening could not achieve anything in any way, then i cite the example of the story of the god, so what did he want then? i once said that a worker does not need, does not need a good life, he needs, needs to be the master of his life was the barricade, creative people, this barricade, which, as i understand, was never broken, just as the artillery attack of the semenovsky regiments was not subdued, as kanenkov said, only no one did anything, no one put him there, he was not repressed for this; the merchants hid him. in 1923 he leaves for america and stays there for more than 20 years, and

policy, well, maybe from your point of view, i’m just trying to be, so to speak, closer. year 1945 konyunkovo the soviet union, and stalin also sends, as it is written everywhere, it is true, of course, that stalin sends a huge, well, huge, not huge, sends a court to the ship that carries all his sculptures, then he comes to moscow , gets this luxurious workshop in the very center on tverskaya on gorky street as this fact. interpret what this means, well it seems to me, obviously, this is, firstly, the merit of margarita ivanovna, unconditional recognition, of course, this is the first, but the second, the return of such a significant figure, already a world-famous sculptor, who is returning from the new world, and what was his motive for returning, it seems to me that he dreamed of this, he experienced every victory , every victory in the soviet army, he commented in his work, let's look at this photograph, who is who, well... it’s very interesting that there is a workshop there and not only these two floors, where my mother lived as a child, and there there was an even larger territory, no

, this is a slightly different story, the fact is that after graduating from the moscow school , konyunkovalian quarries, he looked for marble for his made of clay, and why was the commission outraged? firstly, all the classical proportions are violated here, that is, he overcomes, look, here are exaggerated brushes, and in michelangelo all the proportions were also violated, well, not as much as in konyunkova, that is, konyunkov went further than michelangelo, no, you can’t say that , so that further mikil just an academic education - this is the framework from which konenkov came out and naturally he did what should not be done, it will come a little later, politics will certainly come a little later. that also the first proposal to exclude konenkova from the academy for such freedom and denial of all academics for nihilism , the queen archive fought for konenkova. laurel branch, palm branch, excuse me, as konenkov said - a symbol of immortality, this is vrubliv’s demonic image, angels of victory, angels of revolution, there are certainly biblical iconographic, biblical connotations, red

was very concerned about events in his homeland, various rumors reached konyunkov and he decided togorky sorento, he specially comes to italy, to sorento, and spoke from america, this is a very important conversation with gorky, he has been with him for a very long time. returned to america in song. there is such a phrase: let's forgive each other, we are russians, and russians should forgive, apparently, the conversation was difficult. olek jorovich, do you have any family memories, some myths, legends, stories? well, my mother told me, because she grew up, right there in the workshop, in sergei timofeevich’s apartment, and when my great-grandfather returned, in 1945, grandfather returned from the war, but grandfather , of course, was not in america , would not. lived here, my grandfather lived here, and my great-grandmother, tatyana konyaeva, his first wife, she got married, then she married nikolai sergeevich rukavishnikov, the brother of the sculptor, rukavishnikov, they lived in the estate, they came, they lived in crimea, yes, then , when they returned to moscow in the thirtie

your relationship to our the main character, well, yesenin was a good friend of sergei timofeevich konyunkov as once in the house where the museum of the creative workshop of sergei timofeevich is now located on tverskaya street, gorky street then, my grandfather kirill sergeevich konenkov, he is the son of sergei timofeevich, and there was also an eldest son mark, but he died in infancy, soon after mark’s death . my grandfather kirill sergeevich was born, well, great, please tell me, konenkov lived a great life, a lot of different myths, a lot of different legends are associated with this life. now, if we separate facts from myths, what do we know for sure about him? for sure? well, in fact, in general, in my opinion, if we talk about any life, there are always myths and legends, they are intertwined, the life of an artist and an artist of the silver age, then that’s all. it doesn’t work out, of course, but sergei timofeevich, his biography is really amazing, probably most often when we hear about kanenku and we turn to the book my age, he lived a century and this is a book of his memories,

and konyunkov, telling him, so to speak, about this wonderful samson, inspired filippov. master of his there was a barricade, creative people, this barricade, which, as someone once said, that the worker does not need, does not need a good life, he needs to be , i understand, was never broken, just as it was not submitted to artillery attacks of the semyonov regiments, as konenkov said, only no one did anything to konenkov, no one imprisoned him there, no one repressed him for this, the merchants hid yakunchik as an old believer, he had a workshop. then they communicated, they were friends, they were called, another sergei called them two sergei, in fact they were 20 years apart after all, it turns out that konenkov was such an older friend, for example, konenkov and vlast, konenkov and lenin, yes, it is true that he met, of course, the fact is that konenkov was one of the founders of lenin’s famous plan for monumental propaganda, and actually according to this plan, the first revolutionary work was created, the first revolutionary sculpture, this is the famous plaque. who fell for the
