Национальный художественный музей Украины
Первый музей, который я посетил - Национальный художественный музей Украины. Он находиться практически в центре, где я часто бываю и люблю прогуливаться. Если честно, я ни разу в жизни не замечал здание музея. Как-то мой взгляд не привлекало столь мощное и темное здание. Прекрасные каменные львы по обе стороны входа.
Купив билет и пройдя через охрану, я решил начать с первого этажа, где проходила выставка «Герои. Попытка инвентаризации». Выставка началась с картин трудящихся, крестьян и их жизни, и быта в момент прихода советов к власти. Были представлены пару картин на тему строительства Днепрогэс.
Следующий зал продолжил эту тематику множеством картин с изображением Ленина, что меня порадовало. Я не ожидал, что увижу, что-то связанное с советской тематикой, учитывая события последних лет. Просто любая революция - это потрясения, и меня всегда восхищали люди, которые смогли осуществить свою революцию. Да, может быть он мерзавец, да, многие погибли во время осуществления революции, и во время последующего режима, но он сделал переворот, а глупому человеку такое не под силу. Многие картины о Ленине конечно были написаны для того, чтобы идеализировать его образ для советского человека. Картины Василия Кхитова «Ленин на третьем съезде», Анатолия Наседкина «В дни октября» и многих других прекрасно справились с этой функцией. Ведь на картинах Ленин был изображен всегда близко к народу, трудящийся с ним (народом) и думающий о народе.
Также в зале были другие картины периода соцреализма. И так как я вырос на территории Донецкой области, для меня было решено не обратить внимание на картину Металлурги Донбасса, написанную Михаилом Бельским. На ней были изображены обычные рабочие, но как полагается соцреализму, они были героями труда. И мне представлялось, что эти рабочие ребята смотрят уже на результаты своего труда, быть может, я заметил на их лицах даже счастье и спокойствие. Они уже все сделали, и все работает хорошо. Конец смены и уставшие металлурги смотрят на результаты труда.
Следующая картина в этом зале называется «Хозяин земли». На ней изображен мужчина преклонного возраста, а позади него деревня. Меня привлекло то, что название кинотеатра совпадает с названием кинотеатра, что находиться в моем городе (он уже долго время закрыт). Эта картина напомнила мне о доме. И посмотрев на нее еще немного, я начал действительно больше видеть свой город. Говорил сам себе: «Ха, это похоже на Яковлевку, а вот тут школа №1». Мне понравилась эта картина только потому что я подумал благодаря ей о доме.
В следующем отделе представлен наверно один из самых значительных периодов в истории СССР – Великая Отечественная Война. Множество картин на военную тематику. Мне запомнилась «Защитники Сталинграда», где мужчины выглядываю из окопа, видимо после боя и осматривают опаленную территорию, и возможно, они рады, что остались живы. И все поле боя покрыто темными тучами, а там в вдалеке виднеется синее-синее небо. Оно - надежда на то, что скоро тьма рассеяться. Может быть это банально, но я давно уже не видел синего, светлого неба в современных художественных работах.
Следующие залы были посвящены уже исключительно героям украинской истории, и конечно же, кто как не казаки запорожские, являются одними самый ярких представителей украинской вольной души. Ведь именно казачиский дух является олицетворением героизма, бесстраший и готовностью умереть за свою страну и свободу. Конечно, в реальности были у казаков и свои грешки, но все же мы не даем сейчас оценку войску запорожскому. Как по мне все авторы идеально передали казаков, особенно это сделали скульпторы. Если честно, я не совсем вчитывался в название скульптур, быть может, там были изображены гетманы, или просто казаки, но лицо у них всех было чем-то схоже: каждый из них явно думал не о себе. Автор видимо хотел передать, что каждый гетман/казак понимал, что впереди нелегкий путь к победе, а после победы не легкий путь к построению независимого государства. В зале казачьей славы, назовем его так, многих привлекало картина «Чайка», может своей габаритностю, может, изображенными эмоциями гребцов, но меня больше тянуло к чему-то менее эмоциональному, к чему-то успокаивающему, к чему-то доброму. Все-таки иногда хочется убежать от реальности. Поэтому мне очень понравилась картина Сергея Васильковского «Казаки в степу». В этой картине не чувствовалось каких-то негативных эмоций. Наоборот, гармония, спокойствие. Мне кажется, что люди привыкли представлять казаков в бою, сражающихся или наоборот празднующих после боя, либо грустных. А на этой картине они необычно спокойные, некуда не спешащие. Скорее всего, они находятся на границе и охраняют земли, но может именно знание того, что они находятся на своей земле, придает им уверенность, и то спокойствие, что так захватывает в картине. А неподалеку от этой картин была другая, более веселая, как по мне, и жизнерадостная. Картина Фотия Красицкого «Гость из Запорожья», где изображен кобзарь и пожилая пара с маленьким ребенком, который видимо хочет спросить о чем то гостя. Быть может о сражениях, быть может, этот казак знакомый его отца. Кто знает, но видно взгляд всех окружающих мальчика. Они смотрят на него и видят будущее Украины и защитника родины и на их лицах можно заметить легкую улыбку. Конечно, я не мог пройти мимо работ Анатолия Базилевича, который нарисовал замечательнейшие веселые иллюстрации для книги Ивана Котляровского «Энеида». Именно из-за этих иллюстраций мне всегда представляются казаки как веселые, шальные и остроумные ребята, в которых так много жизни, воодушевляющие на жизнь и действие.
Признаться, следующую комнату с экспонатами посвященными Леси Украинке, Ивану Франку и Казаку Мамаю я пробежал быстро, ни на что не обращая внимания, и устремился в комнату, где большая часть была отведена одному из самых выдающихся украинских писателей и горячо всеми любимому Тарасу Шевченко. Не думаю, что я увидел что то новое на картинах. Классический задумчивый и грустный Тарас. И тут я задумался, что нет ни одной картины, где горячо любимый нами Тарас Григорьевич стоит веселым и улыбается, а может и поет. Да, конечно, можно сказать: «Но у него была такая тяжелая судьба, он все время думал о Украине, ты не понимаешь его глобальных замыслов…» и так далее. Но это ведь не значит, что нельзя хотя бы одну картину с улыбкой подарить потомкам. Ведь картина передает эмоции, переживания, душевное состояние, и мы хотим верить, что все будет хорошо. Но грозовые тучи в картине Божого М.М. «Думы мои, думы» и задумавшееся лицо Тараса Григорьевича, не сильно внушают надежду на лучшее, хоть и талантливо нарисовано. Подходя к концу анализа первого этажа, я должен обязательно отметить еще две картины.
Первая картина - Мелихова «Молодой Тарас Шевченко в мастерской К. Брюллова». Тут, конечно, согрешу и скажу, что меня больше привлек Брюллов, чем молодой Тарас Шевченко, ибо мне нравиться, как тут изображен Брюллов, его взгляд обращен на юного Шевченко. Может этим взглядом он видит, уже видит талант. Он, вероятно, держит в руках листочки с его эскизами и не может поверить, что мальчик рисует так угольком. А что если дать ему кисть?! А прическа Карла - это что-то восхитительное. И его «арт-студия». На заднем фоне огромная картина над которой он работает, к стене облокочена уже завершенная картина (вероятно сохнет). Боже, в картине прям идеальная атмосфера художественной деятельности.
И вторая картина, я думаю, многие о ней написали в своих отчетах, картина Александра Гнилицкого «Папа, шлем давит». Если честно, то не совсем понимаю, почему такое название. Можно предположить, что персонаж изображенный на картине, сидящий в кресле, приходится отцом некого сына, который сейчас служит. И сын прислал отцу письмо, где описал все нелегкости солдатской жизни, в том числе и «Папа, шлем давит». И вот это фигура, вероятно отец, повторюсь, сидит и смотрит вдаль и думает, как помочь сыну. А в дали виднеются манифестации с флагами. А собрание огромного количества людей на ограниченном пространстве никогда ничем хорошим не заканчивалось.
Я считают выставку «Герои. Попытка инвентаризации» весьма интересным проектом и если позволите дать субъективную оценку, то 4 из 5-ти, так как было слишком много уделено пространства и времени деталям, темам, картинам, которые и так нам известны, и мне кажется, что надо было больше сконцентрироваться на менее известных личностях. Касательно второго этажа, у меня будет все намного кратче, потому что был вынужден спешить и не смог уделить должного внимания всему отделу. Прекрасная панорамная картина Михаила Хемлько «За русский народ!» не может не впечатлить своими размерами, детальностью изображения зала и архитектурной точностью. Прекрасные сюжетные картины о жизни Богдана Хмельницкого. Стоит отметить, что на картине «Въезд Богдана в Киев, на лице гетмана сохраняется тот неоптимизм и суровость во взгляде, как и на первом этаже в комнате с казаками. Но когда я перешел к картинам спецфонда, мне показался весьма странным тот факт, что эти картины вообще оказались там. Многие из них были антирелигиозными, антиимпериалистическими, были картины на тему равноправия и раскулачивания. По моему, это наоборот соответствовало тому, что хотела компартия. Наверное, это единственное, чем мне запомнились картины из спецфонда, так как не нашел я в них чего то вдохновляющего. Весьма были интересны работы Александра Мурашко. Его известная работа «Похорон кошевого» дает понять, насколько это было действительно тяжело потерять своего лидера. На картине, конечно, виднеются лица, которые так и хотят ухватиться за булаву, но как за это можно осуждать? Каждый стремящийся к власти готов притворяться и говорить хорошие слова об умершем, лишь бы схватиться за булаву. Произведение, которое действительно меня порадовало, принадлежит кисти Федора Манайло «Гуцульськая свадьба». Я наслышан о свадьбах на Гуцульщине, и я себе не представлял, что все именно в таком серьезном масштабе. На картине изображено около сотни людей и никого грустно. Это то, чего не хватает выставке в целом. Картин с хорошим настроением. Воодушевляющих. Веселых.

Gatsby Initial Impressions

...Initial impressions of Gatsby - Chapters 1-4 We see and hear relatively little of Gatsby in the opening chapter of the novel; he is presented as an almost ephemeral, ghost like figure. However we are drawn to his character by the way he is described: ‘There was something gorgeous about him, some heightened sensitivity to the promises of life’. Consequently, Every time he is mentioned there is always something to interrupt which adds to the mysteriousness of his character. At the end of chapter 1 we catch a glimpse of him where he is bonded with strong romantic imagery, he comes out to see ‘the silver pepper of the stars’ and is spotted when ‘the silhouette of a moving cat wavered across the moonlight’. Fitzgerald combines the purity and romance of Gatsby’s dream with these symbols. On the contrary when he gives a ‘sudden imitation that he was content to be alone’ by stretching out his arms towards the ‘dark water in a curious way’ the purity of his character seems to disappear as the ‘single green light, minute and far away’ suggests the ill omen of his character. In Chapter 3 Fitzgerald uses the part scene to introduce Gatsby to the reader, here Gatsby emerges as a mysterious character who is the subject of gossip, He is well known but ironically nobody seems to have any verifiable information about him. Nick then describes him and says ‘he had one of those rare smiles with a quality of eternal reassurance in it’ the way Gatsby us portrayed is one of extreme modesty, he appears...

Tractor Poem Analysis

...difficult. This poem is in nine stanzas, where the first four stanzas describe the process of starting up the tractor while the last five stanzas, describe how the tractor finally starts up and rejoices. The poet personifies the tractor and uses contrast to bring about its theme in the poem. Firstly, the narrative point of view poet uses a first person narrative viewpoint, which creates an impression of irritation and anger that the poet has towards the tractor. This helps us to understand the emotions of the persona towards the tractor. Firstly, he uses “I stare at it in hatred”. The emotion ‘hatred’ is a passionate feeling of anger, and the ‘stare’ tells us that it is extremely irritated by the reluctance of the tractor start as it ‘defied’ the narrator. This phrase tells us that the persona is facing a lot of difficulty, causing him to feel hatred towards the tractor. Additionally, the poet uses “I squirt commercial sure-fire down the black throat”. This phrase has the fuel chute, which connects fuel to the oil tank, personified to be a throat, which creates an impression that the tractor is similar to a human in the sense that it has a throat for ‘food’, that is in comparison to fuel, to have energy to start. Moreover, this is ironic because the fuel is ‘sure-fire’ which means that the fuel will definitely cause the engine to start. However, the fuel...

Inner Beauty

...behave. It can be changed through actions, manners and behaviors. Physical beauty is largely inherited from parents. But physical beauty can also be changed with cosmetic procedures and plastic surgery. People often choose such interventions to make a more acceptable image. The importance of the two beauties is the quality. Many people feel inner beauty is more important and pure than physical beauty. It does not lie and involves the heart, mind and soul. Inner beauty never fades away and differentiates one person from another. Physical beauty is temporary and can fade away over time. Inner beauty leaves a lasting impression on people. In conclusion, inner beauty and physical beauty have equal importance in people’s lives. But they still have differences--the way they are defined, how they are achieved, and how they alter the impressions of...

My First Impression of Ethics and Morals

...This was just my first impression of the subject. What is ethics? How do ethics affect me personally? Ethics are rules set by society. To be a part of society and to be treated as an equal member of society, I would have to abide by those rules. If ethics dictate that I would have to kneel down to my elders every time I cross path with them, then I would have to kneel down as they walk cross my path. For those who do not follow ethics of that society, society may cast those people down consequently. Having grown up in a Christian family with great devotion and being instilled with Christian morals, there are times that my morals conflict with the ethics set by society and other times when ethics and morals agree with each other. Morals, in my opinion, are the principles that have been instilled in me by my parents and by my teachers and friends. One of those principles is “thou shall not kill.” Morally, I believe that as a human being, I do not have the right or power to kill someone or something because that is exclusively set for “God” to decide. I also know that if someone tries to harm my family or myself in any way, I have the right to defend myself, whether I defend with a bat, club, or even a gun. If I shoot someone to cripple the person, I had done so to defend myself and/or my family from harm. Morally, this would tear at my soul because I had to do something “God” gave that person since birth, but ethically, I had done the right thing for my family, my society and...

First Impressions

...FIRST IMPRESSIONS AND THEIR POWER, How first impressions strike us and their power to change actions Jacob XXXXXX CSU-Global ABSTRACT ------------------------------------------------- This paper will look at first impressions, how they strike us, the powerful ways in which they change our behavior and affect our decisions. How first impressions strike us and their power to change actions First impressions strike us in many different ways. They are often a powerful inhibitor which change the ways in which we would interact with others around us. Often times they are not indicative of the person we are meeting, yet they can permanently alter the ways in which we view others and the ways in which we interact with others. They are however not always permanent impressions. Many times a first impression can be less than desirable for many reasons. Such reasons can range from a person feeling under the weather, a person having unrelated stressors affecting their behavior to an unplanned and inconvenient meeting of two people. When a first impression is less than desirable for the meete, the meetor can tend to make certain assumptions about the meete. These assumptions can range from believing that the meete is less than capable at a particular task/job to believing that the meete is perhaps an undereducated and unmotivated person. However, the same can be said in reciprocal. Take for example a person who has nothing more than a high school diploma and a slightly better...

...My dad always tells me that within the first ten seconds of meeting someone for the first time they will have made a very important judgment of you which will dictate your relationship/affiliation with that person from that point on. It took me a very long time to agree with him, because I always believed that people shouldn’t make any judgment without actually getting to know you first. As I grew and matured, I realized that both of these points were very important and comprised the central idea of a first impression, good or bad. As a society in general we place a lot of importance on material things, including clothing and accessories, so the way someone presents themselves can usually tell us a few things about them. What I mean by that is if someone comes to a meeting with a Yves Saint Laurent suit and a Movado watch, we can assume they are financially well off. At the same time, someone who comes in with a very cheap suit will usually be perceived as financially deprived. Even though we can make such assumptions from these first impressions about people, it is not usually the financial situation that we should focus on, but more so on what that means in terms of their education and ability/knowledge to conduct themselves publicly in a very professional manner and understand the proper etiquette in different professional environments. For example, the financially sound first person with the expensive clothing and accessories will usually be assumed to know all of these...

Patient Perception Essay

Having a good impression is critical in the health care, especially those who are dealing with patients directly. It is crucial to have a good appearance and attitude at all times because you never know how a person is examining you. In my opinion patient perception is very important. It can cause you to have good ground between you and the patient. Having this can either help the patient feel they can or cannot open up to you and let you know everything that is wrong with them. The first thing a person examines is how you present yourself and the space around...

Is It Morally Correct To Judge Research

...judge a person based off of the first impression? First impressions can be misinterpreted often depending on the situation occurring. The average person experiences first impressions on a daily basis. Many say to judge a person based off whether they appear to be amiable or uncongenial is erroneous. Some feel that it’s necessary to make such conjectures of a person’s temperament when the initial greeting is rather belligerent. In hindsight judging is morally wrong because you never know what a person’s actions may be. There are multiple points of view when it comes to first impressions. It can be seen to be okay to judge someone based off a first impression when it comes to a professional or personal situation. For example, in a job interview an employer bases whether a candidate is applicable or not off of the candidate’s responses. In that sense an employer isn’t worried about the person’s character outside of that interview. It’s all depends on what happens during the first meeting. Another event of judging can stimulate during a raw, vulnerable moment in a person’s life. In that moment a person may base their opinion off of a specific emotion, which can blur a person’s true sense of synergy....

...sociological perspective known as dramaturgy. I will describe my front and back stages. My use of impression management will be discussed as well as why we use this form of management. Being social beings on the stage of life, we must play our parts accordingly. Dramaturgy is one social perspective that revolves around role playing. This theory says that we are like actors on a stage and we take on many roles when we interact with others. We constantly change our role (character) when we meet new people. There are two stages associated with dramaturgy and they are the front and back stages. The front stage is the stage where actions are visible to the audience and are part of the performance. Everyday my life is filled with front stages. My office where I work as a Correctional Records Technician serves as one of my front stages. It is there where I assist a multitude of public citizens on a daily basis. My home is another front stage. This is where I take on the role of head of household. The back stage is where performers are present but audience is not, and the performers can step out of character without fear of disrupting the performance. When I get into my car and turn the radio on and hear a song with a nice beat, I start singing and moving to the beat. My car serves as my back stage. My bedroom is also one of my back stages. This is the place I go to immediately when I get off of work. Before I can deal with anyone in my household, I need time to power down from the long day...

First Impressions

...First Impressions First impressions are made every day in our social, business, and educational world. They are our first judgment and opinion of someone’s character. First impressions can be made in person, or from a distance through communication with someone we have not yet met in person. First impressions can even be made indirectly by people who observe us and our interactions with others. Ultimately, upon meeting someone new, “we walk away from them with a first impression that is like a Polaroid picture – a head-to-toe image that develops instantly and never entirely fades” (Flora, 2004). First impressions are formed rather quickly. “Psychologists, writers and seminar leaders caution that we only have from seven to seventeen seconds of interacting with strangers before they form an opinion of us” (Lampton, n.d.). This means that we have a very limited amount of time to either make a good or bad first impression. There are a number of factors that can influence ones first impression of another individual. Physical characteristics, such as style of dress, hygiene, facial expressions, and mannerisms can all play a role in forming an opinion of a person. Non-physical characteristics such as attitude, perceived level of friendliness, general demeanor, punctuality and preparedness can also help in forming opinions of others. Additionally, communication style, tone of voice, and level of confidence also aid in helping to form an opinion of another. ...

Evaluation and Judgment

...of person they really are this is known as first impression. If a person has tattoos and piercing, many may evaluate that person as a drug user or in a gang. We may evaluate others by their career choice, people will tend to feel lawyers are all greedy liars and doctors are all very intelligent. People who move into a new neighborhood may evaluate their neighbors by the size of their home or the kind of car they drive. People also tend to evaluate people based on where they live or how they grew up. If hearing a certain family name, and that family has a reputation for alcoholism, people will evaluate that all family members drink heavily. Many aspects in life can affect the way people evaluate others. • How do these factors play a role in our expectations of other people? People tend to expect certain behaviors from others based on first impressions or evaluations. We use these expectations to communicate with others. If we see a person as attractive, intelligent, rich we may expect their behaviors and intentions as good and want to form a relationship with that person. If we see people as less attractive, unintelligent, or poor we tend to expect bad interactions with them and shy away from them. These expectations can be false and can cause people to befriend the wrong types of people. Unfortunately, once an initial evaluation has been made and people do not live up to the expectations, it is hard to change a first impression or...
