Art and Nature:
as Different as Wine and Grapes

Yuri Annenkov

 

 

 

Ilya Danshin is a stubborn man.
Just imagine: Six attempts to enter Moscow Stroganov Arts School
after which he was known by everyone and everyone knew him there.
But he was never accepted there,
which put him in the same cohort with Van Gogh and Gauguin,
customs officer Rousseau, as well as Niko Pirosmani,
Apolinnary Vasnetsov, Zinaida Serebryakova and Nicholas Tarkov.

 

 

 

And the thing uniting these artists of different countries
and of dissimilar forms of expression is the absence of formal artistic education.
Seemingly, this should make one believe that Mr. Danshin’s artistic language
is  as unique  and  exceptional  as  that  of  the  mentioned  masters. 
But the  lengthy  and complicated row of associations
upon contemplation of his paintings
rather makes one reflect on the artist’s creative motives,
whether it is nature or inspiration or somebody else’s experience.  

 

 

He knowingly loves the Polenov nooks –
the village of  Bekhovo, Oka river and the surrounding vistas. 
Fans of Vasiliy Polenov may easily find the magnificent hills
from where the old painter watched the panorama of his beloved Oka river.
However, it was Danshin himself
who has discovered the landscape and put it on canvas.
The artist has a soft spot for Moscow –
its old backyards, crooked bridges across the narrow Yauza river,
the unassuming and inescapably attractive city view
admired by Moscow painters of the 1930s.
