Repin's male portraits form a Russian intellectual gallery: Mussorgsky's fatigue, Pavlov's concentration, Tolstoy's simplicity and Antokolsky's presence become painting.
Ilia Repin considers the portrait as an encounter rather than a prestigious commission. He works quickly when a presence risks disappearing, for a long time when friendship allows several sessions. The Portrait of Modest Mussorgsky is painted in four days at the Nikolaevsky Military Hospital, shortly before the composer's death in 1881. Sick dress, swollen face and clear gaze together maintain physical decline and intelligence. Ivan Pavlov, an internationally recognized physiologist, appears in a free light that accompanies the liveliness of thought rather than a laboratory attribute. Repin paints Leo Tolstoy for almost thirty years, at work, at rest or on foot naked in nature. This variety refuses the official effigy and shows the writer as body, friend and moral conscience. Mark Antokolski, a sculptor close to the Ambulant community, receives a portrait where the pose and the face express creative energy. Stasov, Borodin, Dragomirov and Kerensky further expand this gallery to criticism, music, the army and politics. Repin modulates background, touch and framing according to each man; his virtuosity serves an irreducible characterization. The selection "Male portraits of Ilya Repin" notably compares Portrait of Modeste Mussorgsky and Portrait of physiologist Ivan Petrovitch Pavlov. His reading favors figures.
Repin does not paint a profession in costume: he seeks the moment when fatigue, thought or gesture reveals the man behind his reputation.
