Illarion
Vladimirovich Golitsyn

One of the most famous Moscow artists of the graphs in the second half of the twentieth century was tragically killed in an accident.

In the years 1946-1953 I. V. Golitsyn studied at the Moscow higher art-industrial school (b.Stroganov) in 1957 studied the technique of etching at the Studio of. I. I. Nivinsky.

Illarion Golitsyn was born in 1928 in Moscow, but three years later, after my father's arrest, the family of the artist moved to the town of Dmitrov. Her father V. M. Golitsyn, the book Illustrator, the artist first considers a mentor. The formation of the artist has contributed their tips of P. D. Korin. In 1953, he graduated from the faculty for artistic treatment of wood, the Moscow higher art-industrial school (b. Stroganov) and began to work on interior design projects for the Volga ships "Lenin" and "Soviet Union" in the Moscow architectural Bureau of the shipbuilding industry.

Familiarity with the artist V. A. Favorsky and I. S. Efimov 1950 was a turning point in his life. Illarion Golitsyn entered the circle of Tabor and permanently adopted the aesthetic and moral norms underlying the impeccable professionalism that is cultivated in "novogireevskaya house", carefully keeping traditions of Russian artistic culture regardless of "what a century".

Tabor boundless devotion to art, his education and breadth of interests has attracted Golitsyn. The miracle of turning the boards in the priceless perfection of a piece of art made a lasting impression on the young artist. Golitsyn saw Tabor made impressions with their linocuts from the "Samarkand" series. The young artist was also under the impression of the first exhibition of Mexican printmaking in Moscow that struck his monumental power and expressiveness of images. In Sormovo, where there was work on the interiors of ships, in his leisure hours he tried to cut into the linoleum.

The lyrical talent of the artist found the perfect form of expression, his works are imbued with light, dissolves the unnecessary details. The wizard masterfully uses classical methods ("black on white" and "white on black"), constantly changing their places, so the image is then enhanced hard line, ustaivaet eyes. The best engravings of the artist belonging to the era of the "severe style", became its most poetic incarnation.

At this time, to replace the loud "Manezh" form, based on large exhibition space, comes "Pacific graphics", stressing the new features in the nature of graphic art. And it turned out that the artist's drawings easily and naturally respond to the quiet call of the time.

In 1980-e and 1990-e years the preference given to masters of watercolour painting. Color scheme is largely determined favorite subjects - interiors, and portraits connected by the theme of historical memory.
