When someone else's soul is yours

It often happens that in life a person finds himself in a difficult situation. Why does this happen? There are many reasons, but most often he is led into a dead end by personal self-confidence, envy and, of course, the desire to quickly get a lot of money. To get out of a dead end, you need to go back. However, it happens that there is simply no way back, and a person needs to search, open a new path. This is what the literary heroes of the writer Viktor Kuntsevich do. In the development of events, the author uses a dynamic plot and elements of mysticism, which captivates the reader and makes him inextricably follow along with the literary heroes.

Leonid Shchemylev

Joint project of "Belarus" publishing house and the National Art Museum of Belarus. The series presents more than 30 artists from Belarus, whose works are exhibited both in the permanent exhibition of the National Art Museum and in other museums of the world.
Each mini-album tells about the life and creative path of the artist, presents his works. The text is printed in Belarusian, Russian and English. People's Artist of Belarus Leonid Shchamyalev can be an example of how to create one's own destiny. Leonid Dmitriyevich Shchymalev did not live to his century by only three years. On February 5, our compatriot, who during his lifetime was called a legend of national art, could turn one hundred years old.
To be born in a city where there is art and Yudel Pen is already a chance. Shortly before he was murdered in his workshop in 1937, Penn approved the album of the future artist, saying that he needed to keep working. It seemed that the young man's future was decided.
After finishing the seven-year course in Vitebsk, he firmly intended to continue his education at the Art School, but the war began. Eighteen-year-old Leonid was drafted into the army in 1941. He reached the Kursk arc and in 1943 returned to Belarus to participate in the "Bagration" operation.
While still a student, the artist found his own style. He was ahead of his time and did not conform to Soviet canons.
The then Soviet academic school did not suit the author's sweeping, expressive brushwork and generous color scheme. Light-shade dynamic effects, bright colors created an unusually free spirit of the work. The lack of detail and the expressive manner were accepted long ago somewhere in their Paris, but not in the allowed Moscow-Soviet environment.
By the way, "Wedding" was lost for several decades. The author found it, by chance, behind the scenes of TYUG. Alena Aladova gladly took it to the collection of the Art Museum.
