A Karelian stage in the life of the great Russian artist,
Nicholas Roerich, is relatively well-known. However,
researchers have not been practically studied the
period of residence of the Roerich family in Vyborg. It
is known that N. Roerich was friends with the Finnish
artist A. Gallen-Kallela, who helped him to remain in
Finnish Vyborg in the period of revolutionary events
in Russia. From October 1918 to May 1919 the
Roerich family lived in Viborg in Ladaunkatu (now
Turgenev St.), №8. The painting «Autumn» (1919)
was written by the artist during the Vyborg’s period.
The painting was created in a fantastic manner which
was usual for the artist. Unfortunately, at the moment
nothing is known about his other works with views of
Vyborg. However, in the catalog of his works,
published in the USA in the 1920-es , under the name
of each picture is given information about where and
when it was created. Thus, under some of the works of
the artist is the mark: «Painted in Viborg». So, today
we can say about some works of master, which he
wrote in Vyborg. In the first place, there are famous
paintings of the artist: «Repentance», «Call of the bell.
Old Pskov», «Sons of the Heavens», «The heat of the
Earth», «Autumn – Vyborg», «Les Miserables
(Outcast)», «Treasure» and others. As well, in 1918 at
the time of staying the family in Vyborg a number of
sketches in "Vyborg Notebook" were made by his
son, Svetoslav Roerich, who was then 16 years old.
Probably, inexhaustible diligence of Roerich gave a
rise to other works with the theme of Vyborg, which
scientists do not know because this topic has not been
investigated
The article tells about St. Petersburg distinctive
watercolor painter, Oleg I. Pomerantsev (1949-2012).
Master's career is inseparably linked with Russian
realism. The artist acts as a successor of fundamental
high artistic traditions of realistic art. Working in a
landscape genre, Pomerantsev managed to create more
than 500 paintings deep in a content and meaning. In his
spare time Master developed his own techniques of
watercolor art. The entire artist’s works were performed
under his impression. He received inspiration on
fishing trips, in woods and then at home master
reproduced what he saw from memory. Most of his
works are in private collections and galleries all around
the world. Romantic landscapes of Oleg I. Pomerantsev
affect by their transparency, complex color techniques
and inexpressible atmosphere, full of air and light.
Complex colour manners and inexpressible atmosphere
full of air and light. Graphic works by the artist,
executed in pencil on paper are very interesting too.
Sometimes master was fond of drawing in details, so
such works were not suitable for watercolors. In his
watercolor works Pomerantsev did only hardly visible
pencil drawing. The artist did not specialized in graphics
so he ruled out his pencil sketches as unsuitable, but the
wife of the artist has kept them. Watercolorist Oleg I.
Pomerantsev is unknown to Russian art-critics. In
view of that, the article was tasked to give for the first
time an art rating to the artist’s creation, to make an art
analysis of his works from the cycle "The Karelian
isthmus" dedicated to the settlement of Kirillovskoe in
Vyborg district. The study of creativity of Oleg
Pomerantsev by professional critics will allow to
expand qualitatively the history of watercolor painting
of Russia
