Sergei Timofeevich Konenkov is one of the outstanding sculptors of the  century. He always strived for accomplishments of enormous scope, for deep and comprehensive generalizations. His F.M. Dostoevsky and Bach, L.N. Tolstoy and Surikov, M. Gorky and S.V. Rachmaninov amazes with the complexity of his psychological portrait. These features of the master’s creativity reached their highest embodiment in “Self-Portrait,” which was awarded the Lenin Prize in 1957. The work is distinguished by a deeply thought-out compositional solution. The wide turn of the powerful shoulders serves as a pedestal for the head proudly thrown back, the face is framed by strands of gray hair, the gaze is directed far ahead. And finally, the last chord of the composition is a thin but strong hand, the hand of an artist and worker. “Self-Portrait” expresses the sculptor’s thoughts about the purpose of the artist, faith in the power of the human spirit and mind.

Slide 4

Konenkov portrayed Yesenin at the moment of his inspired poetic self-expression. Grasping his hair with his right hand, pressing his left hand to his heart, with his mouth half open - at that moment he looked especially like an enthusiastic singer of his lyre. The gesture of his hands is an impulsive movement, full of sincere spontaneity. And the pose, so correctly captured by the sculptor, clearly seen and therefore very natural. Yesenin's portrait was made from the heart, penetrating into the mystery of poetic inspiration.

Slide 5

...On October 23, 1970, on a stormy autumn day, ninety-six-year-old artist Sergei Timofeevich Konenkov came to Konstantinovo, the homeland of the poet Sergei Yesenin, as part of a delegation of cultural figures. The newspaper “Soviet Culture” then held a meeting of village workers with masters of art on Ryazan soil.

Slide 6

The sculptor presented the museum staff with a photocopy of his pencil drawing by Sergei Yesenin and left a warm note in the book of honorary writers. “Remember and love our great poet Sergei Yesenin,” the sculptor said in parting. “After all, his voice was the voice of the people.” S.T. Konenkov was leaving “a thoughtful and gentle land,” the homeland of the great Russian poet. A year later, he himself completed his long life and creative path, rich in events and meetings.

Slide 7

The Ryazan leadership turned to the famous Ryazan sculptor Antonina Petrovna Usachenko, who in 1970 was awarded the title of laureate of the All-Union Lenin Komsomol Prize for the monument “Grieving Pskov Woman”. Antonina Petrovna was able to create a monument - a bust of Yesenin - in the shortest possible time. It was manufactured at the Ryazan Tsentrolit plant. According to the plan of the leading architect of Ryazan N.N. Istomin, the sculpture was supposed to be installed on the station square in front of the Ryazan-2 station building.

Monument to S. Yesenin in Ryazan. Sculptor A.P. Kibalnikov. On October 2, 1975, the grand opening took place.

Slide 9

In the eastern district of Moscow, behind Taganskaya Square, among numerous factories and factories, at the intersection of Volgogradsky Prospekt with the boulevard, named Yeseninsky in 1964, a monument to the famous Russian poet Sergei Aleksandrovich Yesenin was erected. This was the first bronze monument in the country, which the sonorous Yesenin so passionately sang in his poems. The opening took place on October 3, 1972. The authors of the monument are People's Artist of the USSR, full member of the USSR Academy of Arts, sculptor Vladimir Efimovich Tsigal, architects S.E. Vakhtangov, Yu.V. Yurov

Slide 10

It is interesting to look at the silhouette of the monument from the side, where the monolith-hill takes on the outline of a sailing boat, and the folds of clothing behind the shoulders are perceived as wings or a fluttering sail. In deep thought, slowly, with his usual easy gait, the young man descends the hillock. With his head uncovered, he walks in an “overgrown garden” towards the viewer, the wind, and the sun. The figure of the young poet, cast in bronze, stands almost on the ground. More precisely, it moves. Despite the fact that it is cast from metal, there is some special lightness and elation in it.

Slide 11

One of the cities of Russia where the memory of our noble fellow countryman S.A. is sacredly honored. Yesenin, is Voronezh. Here, at different times, monuments to outstanding Russian literary artists have already been erected: A. Koltsov, I. Nikitin, I. Bunin. On October 25, 2006, another significant event took place: a monument to the great countryman S. Yesenin was unveiled. Love for the poet prompted People's Artist of Russia, Moscow sculptor, Yesenin Prize laureate Anatoly Bichukov to donate his work to the city. Actor Sergei Bezrukov provided sponsorship for this cultural event.

Slide 12

...And I stand as if before communion, And I say in response to you: I would die now of happiness, Vouchsafed such a fate. But, doomed to persecution, I will continue to sing for a long time... So that my steppe singing can ring like bronze.

The term "art bronze" includes a huge variety of techniques and a variety of sculptural, applied and decorative products. These are small sculptures, various office items (writing instruments, paperweights, frames for miniatures and photographs), decorative vases, mantel clocks, etc.

Bronze casting reached its brightest peak in the 18th and 19th centuries. This type of art combines the imagination of the artist and sculptor, the skill of the model maker, the experience of the foundry, the virtuosity of the chaser, the painstakingness of the gilder, the perfection of technical thought and technology of his time. Since the 18th century, France has become the leader in the production of bronze products of unique beauty in Europe. Germany, Italy, Austria (Vienna bronze), Russia, etc. did not lag behind.

In 1898, Rodin himself signed a contract with this production - two of his works were cast here: St. John the Baptist and Triumph of Youth.) The height of the figurine is 12 inches.

There is a monument near the Red October plant in Volgograd. Bronze is on fire, and inside the fiery bronze is a sailor. The artist managed to convey in metal the furious gaze of a sailor in the last minutes of his life....

There is a monument near the Red October plant in Volgograd. Bronze is on fire, and inside the fiery bronze is a sailor. The artist managed to convey in metal the furious gaze of a sailor in the last minutes of his life.

He stands, cutting off the enemy with his hands, not allowing him to pass through himself, burning in the flames of Stalingrad. The fire will not let him go, but the enemy will not pass through the flames of the burning sailor. Mikhail Panikakha remained forever in the city, where he did not allow the enemy.

The guy was drafted into the Red Army from Ukraine. The Pacific Fleet began its service. But the war changed the sailor's path. He is now in Stalingrad. Everyone submitted a report to be sent to the front. He got lucky. He was included in the favorites.

Mamayev Kurgan was the same then, only shells were exploding, and the Germans were coming from behind the mound towards the soldiers who were facing death in the middle of the fire. The enemy marched to Stalingrad, hoping to break through to the oil-rich Caucasus.

The attack rolled on one after another. The Pacific troops took on the tanks with only rifles in their hands. There was no technology. Seven tanks attacked living people, but only rage shone in the eyes of the sailors. Mikhail found himself in a trench, among German tanks.

How does a person decide to die, taking his enemy with him? This is incredibly scary. And it hurts. The guy only had grenades and Molotov cocktails left. He crawled forward.

The bullet hit the bottle with the mixture. It flared up like a bright torch in an instant. The hero spent his last strength to throw himself at Hitler’s tank with a burning torch. The burning man was glued to the enemy vehicle.

He was 24 years old. He had no children left. He died without letting the enemy into the city on the Volga. And it continues to burn on the streets of Volgograd for many years.

The feat of Mikhail Panikakha became known throughout the country. D. Bedny dedicated poems to him:

... He burned the enemy with his fire!
Legends will form about him,
Our immortal Red Navy man!
