Право на творчество: Судьбы художниц Российской империи

Mnogo li my znaem velikikh rossiĭskikh khudozhnit͡s? Sofʹi͡a Sukhovo-Kobylina, Elena Polenova, Olʹga Rozanova, Varvara Bubnova i mnogie drugie talantlivye zhenshchiny ni v chem ne ustupali sovremennikam - Ilʹe Repinu, Viktoru Vasnet͡sovu, Konstantinu Korovinu, Isaaku Levitanu. Kak vyshlo, chto vydai͡ushchiesi͡a khudozhnit͡sy ne poluchili toĭ slavy, kotoroĭ byli dostoĭny? Kakim byl ikh putʹ k bolʹshomu iskusstvu, chto ikh vdokhnovli͡alo, a chto meshalo prodvigatʹsi͡a v tvorchestve? Kak perepletalisʹ ikh sudʹby s burnoĭ ėpokhoĭ?Ob ėtom napisala knigu Nadezhda Dëmkina - peterburgskai͡a khudozhnit͡sa i zhurnalistka, vli͡ublennai͡a v svoĭ gorod i iskusstvo vo vsekh ego proi͡avlenii͡akh. Pered vami sbornik rasskazov-biografiĭ semnadt͡sati geroinʹ: oni sdelali vse dli͡a togo, chtoby segodni͡a milliony drugikh zhenshchin, devushek i devochek mogli zanimatʹsi͡a iskusstvom. Dli͡a meni͡a v istorii͡akh khudozhnit͡s vazhen ne fakt velichii͡a, a fakt prisutstvii͡a. Posle togo kak ikh imena mnogo let dazhe ne upominalisʹ, vazhno prosto vernutʹ ikh, uvidetʹ lit͡sa, uznatʹ sudʹby, pointeresovatʹsi͡a naslediem. I͡A khochu rasskazatʹ o mnogikh zhenshchinakh. Nekotorye byli po-nastoi͡ashchemu velikimi. Kto-to sozdal znachitelʹnye veshchi. Kto-to prosto khorosho delal svoi͡u rabotu. Kto-to poproboval poluchitʹ obrazovanie, vyrazitʹ sebi͡a - i soshel s distant͡sii, takoe tozhe byvaet. Dli͡a tekh, kto interesuetsi͡a iskusstvom / istorieĭ Rossii / feminizmom. Zhenshchin v istorii russkogo iskusstva bylo namnogo bolʹshe, chem vy mozhete sebe predstavitʹ.

Do we know many great Russian artists? Sofia Sukhovo-Kobylina, Elena Polenova, Olga Rozanova, Varvara Bubnova and many other talented women were in no way inferior to their contemporaries — Ilya Repin, Viktor Vasnetsov, Konstantin Korovin, Isaac Levitan. How did it happen that outstanding female artists didn't get the fame they deserved? What was their path to great art, what inspired them, and what prevented them from advancing in their work? How did their destinies intertwine with the turbulent era?Nadezhda Demkina, a St. Petersburg artist and journalist who is in love with her city and art in all its forms, wrote a book about this. Here is a collection of short stories-biographies of seventeen heroines: they have done everything to ensure that millions of other women, girls and girls can practice art today. For me, the important thing in the stories of female artists is not the fact of greatness, but the fact of presence. After their names have not even been mentioned for many years, it is important to simply return them, see their faces, find out their fates, and inquire about their heritage. I want to tell you about many women. Some were truly great. Someone has created significant things. Someone was just doing their job well. Someone has tried to get an education, express themselves, and dropped out of the race, this also happens. For those who are interested in art / Russian history / feminism. There have been many more women in the history of Russian art than you can imagine.
