Sokolov Mikhail Ksenofontovich (1885-1947)

The work of M.K. Sokolov is unique for its time. The son of a cooper, who became an artist against the wishes of his relatives, he did not receive a systematic education (in 1904-07 he studied at the Union of Artists and Artists of Ukraine without graduating) and was not a member of any of the artistic associations. But it most fully revealed the image of the creator in his most romanticized form. This was expressed in everything - from the deliberately artistic manner of dressing to the declarative abstraction from current themes: Sokolov’s art is almost entirely based on eternal subjects.
In painting, this is still life and landscape, in graphics (and he was primarily involved in graphics) - cycles of the "Passion", images of circus performers, comedians, horsemen and beautiful ladies, drawings based on literary works(V. Hugo, C. Dickens, E.-T.-A. Hoffmann) and history (“ French Revolution").

After a short period of cubist hobbies (early 1920s), Sokolov entered this circle of subjects and remained faithful to it to the end. The masterly reactive graphic style, romantically excited speech, and absolute feeling for any material remain unchanged.

Noted by serious criticism, the artist nevertheless increasingly feels that he is not in demand: his works are rarely exhibited, his prepared illustrations are not published in books (with the exception of “The Virgin of Orleans” by Voltaire, “Acadeinia”, 1935).
Only teaching feeds him: in 1919-21. - in art workshops of Tver and Yaroslavl; in 1923-25 ​​- in the Fine Arts workshop of Proletkult in Moscow; in 1925-29. - at the Art and Industrial College in Yaroslavl; in 1936-38 - at the Institute for Advanced Training of Artists, Painters and Designers in Moscow.

The dramatic outcome of fate - arrest in 1938, seven-year sentence, Taiga camp in Siberia; The drawings created there (on tiny scraps, with loose colored chalk or simply with a match and ink) are among the artist’s best creations. Released early due to illness (1943), Sokolov settled in Rybinsk.
In June 1947, he came to Moscow to seek the removal of his criminal record. He attends exhibitions and makes plans for the future. But a serious illness confined the artist to bed and soon ended his life.

The dramatic outcome of fate - arrest in 1938, seven-year sentence, Taiga camp in Siberia; The drawings created there (on tiny scraps, with loose colored chalk or simply with a match and ink) are among the artist’s best creations. Released early due to illness (1943), Sokolov settled in Rybinsk.

Being seriously ill, Sokolov led an isocircle in the Rybinsk Pioneer House (1943-1947). In his latest works, he again turned to painting, creating the “Birds” series, where endlessly replacing each other images of the dead birds carry quite readable symbolism: after all, a bird is the embodiment of freedom.

In June 1947, he came to Moscow to seek the removal of his criminal record. He attends exhibitions and makes plans for the future. But a serious illness confined the artist to bed and soon ended his life.

M.K. was rehabilitated. Sokolov was only in 1958...

Now the works of M.K. Sokolov is rightfully considered one of the highest achievements of Russian fine arts those years. His works are included in the collections of the State Russian Museum, the State Tretyakov Gallery, and the Pushkin Museum. A. S. Pushkin, the Yaroslavl Art Museum (the largest collection of the artist’s works is located here), and many other museums in the country.

As you know, the main object of painting by M.K. Sokolova was his wife (1927-1935) Marina Ivanovna Baskakova (1902-1988), with whom he made hundreds of portraits - pencil, pen and ink drawings. It is possible that some female images The portraits in this selection of ours are inspired by her.

From 1966 to 2003, there were about 20 personal exhibitions of M. K. Sokolov in Moscow, Yaroslavl, St. Petersburg, Kassel (Germany), Rybinsk, Vologda, Kostroma and other cities of Russia.

In October 2007 at the Museum. Andrei Sakharov (Moscow) held an exhibition “The Right to Correspondence”, which presented drawings and letters from M. Sokolov from the camp.
_____________________________

Sokolov Mikhail Ksenofontovich (1885-1947), Russian artist, master of painting and graphics, representative of the romantic-symbolist “quiet art”.

M.K. Sokolov’s contemporaries called M.K. Sokolov “an artist by the grace of God,” “an apostle of beauty.” The life and work of this master were unusual and amazing for his time. Mikhail Ksenofontovich Sokolov was born in Yaroslavl in 1885, into the family of a cooper. Against the wishes of his family, he enters the Stroganov Drawing School, having received financial assistance from a local philanthropist. But the training brings nothing but disappointment, and he leaves the school: “Not only did the school give nothing, but on the contrary, I had to overcome what it imposed...” The young artist begins self-study paintings in museum collections in Moscow and St. Petersburg. 1923 was a turning point in his creative destiny.

Critic D.S. Nedovich very aptly characterizes this period in Sokolov’s work: “With great ease, changing directions, trying different approaches, as if trying on different clothes - which one suits him best, he is still internally whole and true to himself, constant in his wanderings , looking for himself in others...” By the mid-20s, he had already achieved high skill, and “revealed the image of a creator in the most romanticized form,” wrote N. Tarabukin. Neither before nor after the revolution M.K. Sokolov was a member of any creative association, trying to find his way in art. In 1938, the artist was arrested on a false denunciation, sentenced to seven years in prison and exiled to the Taiga camp in Siberia, where he created cycles of drawings related to the best pages of his work. In 1943, the artist was released early for health reasons. Without permission to settle in Moscow, he, seriously ill, returns to his family in Yaroslavl. In 1947, Sokolov came to Moscow to seek the removal of his criminal record, but did not have time... He was rehabilitated only ten years later: posthumously.

Sokolov’s work, artificially excluded from the general mainstream of Soviet art for a long time, has still been studied very little, especially in relation to the cycle about the French Revolution. Executed mainly in the early 1930s, this series includes hundreds of sheets, now scattered among various museums and private collections, of which only nine were shown at the 1985 exhibition organized to mark the centenary of the artist’s birth.

The artist returned to work on the “French Revolution” cycle for 20 years. Maximilian Robespierre, Georges Danton, Camille Desmoulins...
Sokolov also has a portrait of Charlotte Corday. Her image is surprisingly consonant with what Jean Jaurès wrote about Marat’s killer: “Beautiful, young, modest and proud... she remained in the eyes of the people a strange vision, woven from purple, heroism and blood, causing an unknown excitement in many hearts.”

Let me be accepted as I am - an awkward, incorrigible dreamer and romantic - with all my feelings lost in the “non-existent, unreal.”

(From a letter from M.K. Sokolov to N.V. Vereshchagina-Rozanova)
