Dear Korney Ivanovich

When you were building last year, you asked that in order to avoid constant small expenses from M. N. Galkin, you would be believed in debt, and for this, my card was given to Galkin in the form of a recommendation with a recommendation that you are a reliable payer. Now he is desperate that you don't pay (refuse!) He's thinking about a trial... After all, he will start to stick me around ... and then either with the police (Finnish) and start selling your cottage. .. The troubles are huge, and I wonder if, with very good earnings, you can't at least piece by piece, even for a hundred rubles, as promised to them. I have the clerk now. Your Il. Repin.

The exhibit is accompanied by the conclusion of the handwriting expertise of the Department of forensic examinations of the ECC Vector, which carries out handwriting expertise for investigative and judicial authorities both in Moscow and in the regions of Russia, confirming that the letter was written by Ilya Repin.

Chukovsky and Ilya Repin were close friends. The famous painter often stayed at the writer's house, as evidenced by Chukovsky's diary. Moreover, the two masters influenced each other creatively. Chukovsky persuaded Repin to write a book of memoirs, "The Far Near." Repin came up with the name of his handwritten humorous almanac "Chukokkala" for the writer — a combination of the surname with the name of the place Kuokkala, where friends rested. Interestingly, this place has now been renamed "Repino".

There was a real cult of Repin in Korney Ivanovich's house. On the walls hung his kuokkalsky photographs, a snapshot from Repin's portrait of Chukovsky with Repin's own handwritten signature. The handwritten almanac "Chukokkala" contains dozens of Repin drawings and notes. Chukovsky preserved more than a hundred letters from Repin from 1907-1929. And finally, there are many entries about the famous artist in Korney Ivanovich's Diary. In particular, K.I.'s trips to Kuokkala in 1925, his last visits to the "Penates", and conversations with Repin are recorded in detail. One can also recall Chukovsky's memoir book Ilya Repin, which was published many times.

Until now, it was believed that Repin paid for Chukovsky's house out of his own pocket, and then he returned it for many years. It was much more complicated...

Provenance: archive of I. S. Shaikovich, before the revolution the director of the Russian school in Kuokkala, the second husband of Lidia Ivanovna Shishkina (first husband - B. Ridinger), poet, after the revolution the consul of Yugoslavia in Finland, etc. After the revolution, he saved the archive of Chukovsky, who was at the latter's dacha in Kuokkala.

Ivan Stepanovich Shaikovich (1876-1948) was a Serbian diplomat in Russia, the Consul General of Yugoslavia in Finland, in Sweden, Doctor of Philosophy, professor of Oriental languages and Serbo–Croatian, a great connoisseur of Russian poetry and painting.

The exhibit has cultural, historical, and collectible value at the museum level.

"Yu. Lyubimov is highly endowed with feeling compositions. He is able to translate the static of a poetic episode into action even where, at first glance, there is no action. He knows how to collide contrasts on stage, keenly feels the emotional state of the viewer," wrote David Samoilov. Lyubimov's uncompromising productions became widely known not only in the USSR, but also around the world, and his theater was called "the island of freedom in an unfree country." The play based on Dostoevsky's novel "Crime and Punishment", shown in 1983 in London, was awarded the Evening Standard award.

From the very beginning of his career, since the 1870s, Repin has become one of the key figures of Russian realism. The artist managed to solve the problem of reflecting the diversity of surrounding life in a painting, in his work he managed to cover all sides of modernity, touch on topics of concern to the public, and vividly reacted to the anger of the day. Repin's artistic language was characterized by plasticity, it perceived various stylistic trends from the Spaniards and Dutch of the XVII century to Alexander Ivanov and modern French Impressionists.

Stargift Handwritten New Year's card signed by the artist Marc Chagall and his second wife, Valentina Brodskaya (Vava) Handwritten New Year's card signed by the artist Marc Chagall and his second wife, Valentina Brodskaya (Vava) Chagall Mark Zakharovich (Khatskelevich) (1887-1985), artist. He was born on July 7, 1887 in the town of Peskovatiki near Vitebsk (Belarus) in the family of a loader of a fish shop, where, besides Mark, there were eight other children. He received a traditional religious education at home. At the end of 1906, he came to St. Petersburg; here L. S. Bakst, M. V. Dobuzhinsky, N. K. Roerich became his mentors. In 1910-1914 he lived in Paris; in the colony of artists "Beehive" he became close to the avant—gardists, in particular with the poet G. Apollinaire and the artist R. Delaunay. Chagall's early paintings are dominated by themes of childhood, family, death, deeply personal and at the same time eternal motives ("Saturday", 1910). Over time, the theme of passionate love comes to the fore ("Over the City", 1914-1918; "Gates of the Jewish Cemetery", 1917). Sharp deformations and unreal-fabulous color contrasts of canvases created by Chagall ("Me and the Village", 1911; "Self-portrait with Seven Fingers", 1911-1912), had a great influence on the development of surrealism. In Moscow, the artist made a number of large wall panels for the Jewish Chamber Theater (1920-1922). Since 1923, Chagall settled in Paris; in the same year, a book of his memoirs "My Life" was published in Berlin. In 1933, the Nazis who came to power in Germany publicly burned the artist's paintings. In 1937, the artist took French citizenship. As he reaches the peak of fame, Chagall's manner becomes easier and more relaxed. Through the recurring themes of Vitebsk childhood and love, gloomy echoes of former and future world catastrophes float ("Time has No Shores", 1930— 1939). Since 1955, work began on the "Chagall Bible". In line with this cycle, the master also created a large number of monumental sketches, compositions based on which decorated buildings of different religious denominations. These works, together with secular decorative compositions (murals of the ceiling of the Paris Opera, 1964, the Metropolitan Opera in New York, 1965, etc.) updated the language of monumental art.
