Original vintage poster (from the first release of this film in Soviet Union – 30 August 1967) for the Soviet. ” (released for English-speaking countries as “The Unforgettable) – a large-format feature film directed by Yulia Solntseva, filmed based on military stories of Alexander Dovzhenko about the struggle of the Ukrainian people against the German fascist invaders. The film was shot with the participation of the troops of the Kiev military district. The German army occupied the territory of Ukraine. The fate of the Soviet people is illustrated by the example of the Chaban family, whose head Petro Chaban accompanied his five sons to serve in the Red Army. When the Germans came to the village, in order to be able to help the underground and partisans, Petro became the headman of his village. For passing information to the partisans, he was captured and thrown into a prisoner of war camp. After killing policeman Maxim Zabrod, who was guarding the camp, he seizes a weapon, escapes and joins the partisans together with the other escaped. Here she meets her friend, the partisan Christia, from whom she learns that her father is a commander in one of the partisan detachments. Petro’s wife, Tatyana Chaban, hid Soviet pilots shot down over their village at home, but on a police denunciation, the wounded soldiers and a brave woman were seized. The pilots were shot, and their defender was hanged next to the house. After learning about what happened, her husband and children take a solemn oath to beat the enemy until complete victory over him. The Red Army is recapturing its native land, among the Red Army men going on the offensive, Olesya meets her beloved Vasil, about whom she had no news all this time.

The film was first selected for the Rutgers University New Jersey Documentary Film Festival. And then it was shown at the New York Festival of Russian Documentary Films. This is a film about an artist who emigrated from the Soviet Union to the United States. About a man who transplanted himself from one soil to another at the mature age of 37. About a man who always felt internally free, but also wanted to be independent. About a man who managed to do a lot by the age of 37, but could and wanted to do more, and this was impossible in Soviet conditions. The author of the film, Semyon Pinkhasov, managed to go far beyond the bounds of a purely biographical film about a talented artist: he spoke about the philosophy of a creative person who was transferred from one world to another, but did not adapt to the new world, but adapted the new world to himself. Of course, it is much more difficult for an artist to live without taking into account the conjuncture and market demands. But it is easier to breathe. Grigory Perkel was born in 1939 in Vinnitsa. Then evacuation to the Urals. From evacuation – to Moscow, where he grew up, studied at school, received a higher art education. He worked in book graphics, was the author of movie posters, theater and circus posters, animator, theater artist. Created lithographs on Jewish themes. In the second edition of the six-volume book by Sholem Aleichem (in black binding), he illustrated “Wandering Stars”. “I entered the Jewish theme in search of my roots, ” Grigory Perkel explained to me in an interview. This is his foundation, a starting point for further creativity. Hence my interest in the Jewish theme, hence the lithographs “Song of Songs”, “Simchat Torah” and others. I met Perkel when, as an artist, he was designing the play “The Bewitched Tailor” at the Mosconcert Jewish Drama Ensemble. It was he who suggested the director Felix Berman a figurative solution to the performance, showing him sketches of scenery and costumes. The performance made a splash in Moscow. Jewish emigration began to gain momentum. The iron curtain rose a little, and a trickle of USSR citizens who dreamed of a different citizenship flowed into the gap. The first refuseniks appeared, leading Hebrew circles around their apartments. On the holiday of Purim, home performances (purimshpil) were staged based on the plot of the book of Esther with political overtones. Georgian, Bukhara, Lithuanian, Transcarpathian Jews have already moved to Israel. Moscow Jews thought whether to apply for departure or not. Those who are bolder participated in seeing off the pioneers and asked for a challenge. Doubters gathered information about what could be taken out. And at such a time the performance in Hebrew “The Bewitched Tailor” based on the story of Sholem Aleichem comes out: bright, musical, full of desperate fun. The auditorium of the Sovetskaya Hotel on Leningradsky Prospekt was full of the audience. People went to the performance as if it were a holiday, and after the performance they went out into the street and did not leave for a long time with joyful excitement. The writer Felix Kandel, inspired by the performance, wrote a lyrical and philosophical essay in the spirit of the biblical parable “The Enchanted Theater”. For this work, he wanted to collect additional material, and since we had known each other for a long time, I brought him together with the actors – participants in the play, among whom was my mother, Nehama Sirotina, a former actress of GOSET. Since in those years the theater hall of the hotel “Sovetskaya” was constantly occupied by the gypsy theater “Romen”, and the Jewish drama ensemble of Mosconcert performed in clubs and on stages that were free that day, the Jewish actors joked sadly (this joke is cited by Felix Kandel): We lived! Gypsies have their own theater, and Jews roam. I’m not sure, but I think that it was then, after this production, that Grigory Perkel decided to emigrate. He himself told me that the idea of?? Emigration had arisen earlier, when he was directly confronted with state anti-Semitism. According to the author of the film “Out of the Box” Semyon Pinkhasov, until 1977, that is, before emigrating to the United States, Grigory Perkel represented Soviet culture, and now he represents American culture. But I would say that Perkel, both in the first half of his life and in the second, represents only his own culture. He is the same cat that walks by itself, all the time on a hot roof. This is probably why his works are recognized in different countries and hang in the largest art galleries and museums in Russia and America. I do not want to be tied to any land. These are the words of a free man who has finally become independent. Perkel himself calls himself an American artist from Russia. But, in my opinion, a true artist belongs not to the country in which he was born or lived, but to the whole world, Art. Even nurtured by the art school, tradition, history, culture of any country, he, like a real Master, breaks away from his land and soars above the world, like in Marc Chagall… But back to the documentary “Out of the Box”, the hero of which, the artist Grigory Perkel, has been busy in recent years creating beauty from the ugly: from cardboard packaging boxes picked up in a supermarket. From this material with multi-colored names of goods, products and companies, the artist cuts out and glues amazingly beautiful mosaic compositions without painting on anything. In the film, he explains this period of creativity with his sense of the time in which he lives. Previously, he lived in the land of myths, in the Soviet Union, where they were “brainwashed” by communist propaganda and created the myth of an almost paradise state. In America, as it turned out, myth-making also flourishes, but this is done by corporations that advertise their products. Perkel says: With my art, I oppose any form of brainwashing, any idolatry. That is why the artist took on the task of transforming advertising and company logos on cardboard boxes into art, into a mosaic of whimsical patterns and colors. If Shakespeare exclaimed: “The whole world is a theater, and we are all actors in it, ” then Perkel seems to say: The whole world is a shop, and we are all buyers and sellers in it. Unfortunately, this also applies to art, which is also a commodity. Does an artist like this world? But we live in it. And this world is reflected in the work of Perkel. Reflected and transformed: even out of garbage, out of cardboard boxes discarded as unnecessary, you can create something alive that decorates our life. The creation of mosaics is just another stage in the work of Grigory Perkel. The artist is surprisingly diverse: portraits, still lifes, lithography, drawings, graphics, art photography, distinguished by a rare sense of composition… He is interested in himself, but we are interested in him. Perkel is what in America is called self made, that is, literally made himself. He should not be grateful to anyone, did not ask anyone and does not ask for help. But these are HIS mistakes, and he does not blame anyone for them, he overcomes difficulties himself. With a difficult character. He says what he thinks. Because of this, he sometimes loses friends. No, not friends, but acquaintances. Well, the fewer of them, fake ones, the more time to work. But the real ones understand him and talk about it in the film. These are curator Anna Ragulina and Russian history specialist Amy Knight, artist-photographer Ricardo Barros, art critic Catherine Sommers and pianist Vladimir Feltsman… On the territory of the state of New Jersey, in South Brunswick, far from the noise of the city, Gregory Perkel built for himself a large house with a spacious, very bright workshop. This is his state, his world, which he dreamed of. The windows overlook the entire wall of the lawn, beyond which the garden. No neighboring houses can be seen behind the trees. For guests, the hospitable owner brings ripe vegetables and fruits from his plot, and his wife Natasha, who has a peculiar oriental beauty, immediately prepares salads and serves them on the table. Everything in this house is real, like the owner himself, like his paintings, mosaics, photographs… By the way, about Natasha Perkel. In America, she worked for 30 years as a cartographer for the New York Times. Its own profession, its own good salary. However, the work of the artist’s wife will be more difficult. I don’t know which of them chose whom 50 years ago, but the marriage turned out to be extremely successful. According to Grigory Perkel himself, Natasha is an ideal wife for an artist: she very precisely feels when she should appear next to him, and when she should leave and not interfere. To be able to leave the artist alone with his work, to treat with anxiety and understanding the inspiration that has visited the artist – not every wife has enough wisdom and sensitivity for this. The same applies to a husband if his wife is a person of a creative profession. So Grigory Perkel managed to build harmonious relations in the family. The unhurried reflection of the author of the film about the place of the artist in the modern world, about art and about life is greatly helped by the music of Chopin performed by Vladimir Feltsman. It is also striking that the director was able to carefully show the wonderful works of Grigory Perkel in the film lasting just over half an hour, especially in the final, because the artist speaks well about his art and about himself, but his paintings speak of him even better. Semyon Pinkhasov very well chose the title “Out of the Box” for his film. And the point is not only that for several years Grigory Perkel has been working on a mosaic for which fragments of colored cardboard boxes cut out by him served as the starting material. These works awaken the imagination of the viewer: some see them as flocks of birds, others – fish, others – the dream of a patient with fever, the fourth plunge into the artist’s expression, the fifth admire the pattern. In a word, everyone perceives Perkel’s work in his own way, but it is impossible not to notice it, not to stand in thought. And in the subtext of the name, another thought is guessed: the artist Grigory Perkel jumped out of the box into the world of art, like a devil out of a snuffbox, like a gin out of a bottle, and no one will be able to drive him back. Original title on the poster. I’m a paragraph. Mention details and specifications that you believe are relevant to your buyers. CHANTSEV ALEXANDER VASILIEVCIH (1949 – 2002). Alexander Chantsev was born in 1949 in the city of Torun, Poland. In 1973 he graduated from the Moscow Higher School of Industrial Art (formerly the Stroganov School) with a degree in Artistic Ceramics. The second prize of the International Olympic Poster Competition in 1980 gave impetus to the work in the poster genre. Several years of fruitful work in the circus poster followed, and during this period the individual style and technique of Alexander Chantsev gradually developed. In 1989 he was admitted to the Union of Artists. The film posters brought the artist international fame. Solo exhibitions of film posters by Alexander Chantsev took place in Rome in 1991 (together with Yuri Boxer) as part of the exhibition of Soviet film posters, which was held in the largest exhibition hall of the city – Palazzo delle Esposizioni. In 2001, an exhibition of movie posters by Chantsev, Boxer and Maistrovsky was held in the city of Tavira (Portugal). Alexander Chantsev took part in the largest exhibitions of Soviet and Russian posters, regularly participated in international biennials in Warsaw, Lahti, Colorado, Brno, took part in a poster exhibition in the Louvre (1989), the International Poster Festival in Chaumont, France (1991), in the exhibitions ” Russian social poster “in the USA (1991-92), Perestroika. Glasnost in Japan (1991-92), was awarded with diplomas of various competitions, a diploma of the finalist of the European competition of advertising EPICA in Paris (1992). Exhibitions of posters, in which Alexander Chantsev participated, have traveled almost all over the world, the originals and prints have ended up in the most famous galleries and in private collections in the USA, France, Switzerland, Belgium, and the Czech Republic. However, the rise of poster art, which took place thanks to perestroika and the resulting freedom, gradually ended, and interest in the poster was largely lost. New times have come when the emerging market relations have made completely different demands on artists. I had to master new genres – advertising booklets, annual reports, logos, corporate styles – and face a different customer. For the last seven years of his life, Alexander Chantsev was engaged in the design of exhibition stands, working as the art director of the Expoline company. It was a new business, and gradually the festive atmosphere of the exhibitions captured Alexander Chantsev entirely. Possessing tremendous efficiency and real professionalism, he managed to create many interesting exhibition stands for such companies as Lucent Technologies, Avaya, Alcatel, A&T Trade, KRKA, Shreya, Orimi Trade, Sunway, Mobile TeleSystems. Nevertheless, in Russia and the world, Alexander Chantsev is known primarily as a brilliant poster artist who belonged to a remarkable generation of artists. And the soft, good-natured humor of his circus posters, the philosophical metaphors of the movie posters, the sharp, satirical images of political posters will forever remain in our memory.
