1860 -1900 · Kybartai, Moscow, Volga and mood landscape
Roads, waters, birches, bell towers and immense skies make Isaac Levitan the master of the landscape of mood, where nature becomes memory, emotion and reflection on time.
Isaac Ilyich Levitan was born in 1860 in Kybartai, in what is now Lithuania, then integrated into the Russian Empire. His Jewish family settled in Moscow and the young artist entered the School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture in 1873. He studied there with Alexei Savrasov then Vasily Polenov. Savrasov conveyed to him the idea that a modest landscape can carry deep emotion without resorting to the spectacular. The years of learning were marked by poverty, the death of his parents and anti-Jewish discrimination; In 1879, he had to temporarily leave Moscow following a decree targeting Jewish residents. Despite these ordeals, Autumn Day. Sokolniki revealed his ability to uniting precise observation and inner feeling. Levitan joined the Society of Traveling Art Exhibitions in 1891. His stays in Plios, on the Volga, became decisive. After the rain. Plios, The evening. Golden plios and the views of monasteries make water, banks and bell towers the actors of a space that is both real and meditative. The painter thus develops the "mood landscape": the season, the time and the climate not only describe nature, they give shape to a psychological state. Vladimirka associates an empty road with the memory of the deportees taken to Siberia. Above eternal peace confronts a small church and a cemetery with the immensity of the sky and the lake. Conversely, Mars and Golden Autumn find luminous energy in the melting snow or yellow foliage. Close to Anton Chekhov, Levitan shares with the writer the art of apparently simple detail which opens up a broader reflection. Appointed academician in 1898, he taught in Moscow until his premature death in 1900. The selection "Isaac Levitan" notably compares Above Eternal Peace and Golden Autumn. His reading favors drawing.
Levitan is not looking for a panorama: he is looking for the moment when a road, a sky or calm water becomes the exact equivalent of an inner state.
