Tatyana Binovskaya- artist

Summer practices. Studying was a study, but in the summer we had absolutely wonderful practices. I remember a wonderful painting practice in the city of Ochakov. Where we lived I do not remember. The hours and days spent on the seashore on a fishing collective farm were remembered. We did not rest there, we were engaged in painting and drawing. I made many sketches of local kids and sketches with oil boats, and the fishermen who posed for us. I remember a stunning fish soup (uha ) at the stake in a huge pot. The soup was prepared from several species of different fish and served separately soup and fish separately. And I also remembered how during this dinner, one of my fellow students was very loudly champing, right above my ear. All in all, it was perfect. In addition to painting practices, we also had museum ones. And that meant a lot. The first time we went to Leningrad (Petersburg). Imagine a whole train full of students, and our journey in it lasted two whole ...

Specialty and models. The time has come and we began to draw not only still lifes and gypsum parts of the body but real models. It is impossible to forget the first impression when a naked woman comes to you and sits down for posing. Our first naked model was a woman named Sveta. She was the ex-wife of one of the students. I remember how she came in, and quietly sat down. There was a feeling of great awkwardness because not every day you look at a naked body. She was beautifu l. And the artwork that I created then, I keep to this day. There were a lot of different and funny stories with models. Our teacher was an advanced person and somehow made production for us with a model, which lay, as in the work of Modigliani. It is worth noting that at that time albums with impressionists were forbidden to be considered. We had to work and study in the style of Soviet realism. We were in class all day — 4 hours in the morning, then lunch, and then 4 in the afternoon. Bu...

My beloved friend Busya - Evgeniya Zabrotska Several girls from my group lived in an apartment on Gorky Street, and my most beloved girlfriend lived with them, her name was Zhenya, and we called her Busya. To this day, we communicate with Zhenya and I am happy to have such a real friend! I will gradually tell you about that time and about our adventures with Busya. There were a lot of them. First, about the apartment on Gorky Street, which my friends rented. This apartment was a haven for me. I lived at a great distance from the school, and spending whole days in the classroom, from time to time, we all needed a break. How wonderful it was to come to the girls, sit on the couch with a book, seeds, and cigarettes and spend several hours there, skipping lectures on general subjects. That was great. My Busya was and is a wonderful artist, I still keep the drawings she donated and I am sure that she will be very, very glad to see them now. She painted in school just ama...

My friends Senya Shimon Okshteyn and Slavik Bronislav Tutelman When we entered the first year of college, we were immediately warned that we would be required to pose, to be models for the 4th year students. That was the rule. So we made adult friends. Me too. There were many guys, but I was friends with two of them - Senya and Slavik. We talked a lot and they often escorted me to a trolleybus stop on Martynovsky Square (now and always Greek Square). Once Senya invited me to pose for him. We are not located in the workshop, but on the top landing at the entrance to the attic. Senya painted several of my portraits and once even kissed me. This caused a quarrel with my friend Tanya, whom we called Redhead. She was so trimmed and most likely painted bright red, so she looked like a ripe chestnut. For me, that kiss meant nothing at all, and Tanya was very offended. For me was one question that I asked myself many years later became more important - why didn’t I...

My friends Leika and Natasha. From the very beginning, Lena and Natasha, or Leika and Red, became my friends at the college. They were both very beautiful girls, tall, slender, very often it was not very convenient for me to talk to them, I had to turn my head up. At that time platform shoes entered into fashion and each of them had them. Soon my mother bought wonderful new shoes for me too and I got a little taller. My friends were wonderful and each of them deserves a different story. Natasha was incredibly beautiful, I can say was in love with her facial features. This is happening to me even now - I like to paint portraits, especially of beautiful people. Natasha was red, but her hair was not dark, but light and similar to the color of an apricot. Huge green eyes. She always covered with a large layer of mascara, and her nose seemed to be carved from marble. At the parties, she dressed up, paint her hair with a green antiseptic (we all it zelenka), with a cigarette in ...
