Solomonov Mikhail Biography

To insert a mastication - albeit at the local level, was already adjacent to the artist with the awareness of the exhaustion of the possibilities of professional growth and probably looked for a way out. In January, Solomonov won the contest of “screensavers and endings”, and they were printed - in its intended purpose - in the exhibition catalog. He also won in subsequent competitions: G.

at the same G. Fedorov 3 “Stories”. To insert the picture of Fedorov with Solomonov, a long and very fruitful character gained: in the city of Fedorov - in the same year - the debut in Moscow: the lithographic cover of the “songs of the earth” in three colors “Sytin's partnership” - in style, it was clearly distinguished by some severity of the common, quite popular, series of Sitinsky publications.

Barenbaum-Democrats-Baongers, and for the entire pre-Soviet period, the artist remained faithful to this, significant community in Russia. Solomonov put on the covers of about 20 writer books. So, the Prometheus publishing house was published - under a multi -color with a gold cover - Fedorov’s journalistic book “Ocean” and the first in the practice of the artist almanac “Vershi” 4.

Unknown whether Fedorov brought Solomonov with N. Morozov with Kuprin and Bunin - undoubtedly, or it was the order of the Public Veneral Publishing House: she was published in the same year next year Solomonov issued three books by Nikolai Morozov: “Letters from the Shlisselburg fortress”, “On the border of the unknown” and “Star songs”. The latter was arrested: the author was returned to prison for a year.

The artist and exhibition activities did not stop inserting the picture: participation in the "Posodebsky salons" significantly replenished him of the All -Russian Renoma. For the first time in such a volume and diversity, the Russians got acquainted with the highest trends of European fine art. Solomonov not only weightily participated in all the vernissages, but also acted as the creator of the corporate identity of the first “salon”: two covers, Mark - which was used on catalogs, branded forms, posters and even attached on the back of each of the works sold.

It was time to introduce another half -forgotten name to the narrative: Mikhail Vasilyevich Averyanov - publisher, figure of the book. Averyanov was a literary agent Fedorov. Solomonov worked closely with Averyanov: he created two publishing stamps from indirect sources the last version: an artist for temporary stay in the capital could use the “roof” of a book warehouse; I issued many books under this brand.

The most significant of them are the former tandem: Fedorov - Solomonov - a poetic one -act play “Accounting” and “Sonnet”. To insert a picture of both copyright opus of the artist is the practical embodiment of the myris -art concept of the integrity of the book. The strict grace of the design of the sonnets: under a multi-color cover-the finished, sophisticated-graphic six-part suite corresponding to the sections of Egypt.

Both works, on fine paper, with a sufficient basis can be counted on bibliophilian publications. According to my research, “sonnets” are the first in time in Russia a poetic collection, performed in the spirit of an “elegant edition”. I emphasize this: for for some reason he fell out of art history. To insert a picture of Fedorov and Averyanov among the intakes of the writer's publishing house: it was possible, and Solomonov held the share: the artists could enter the charter in the charter.

Averyanov provided writers 1.5 thousand rubles - however, he was denied the "right of an advisory vote in deciding the issue of registration of books." They started with an almanac with the unpretentious name “Collection First”, more precisely, with “advertising letters” about the collection. The cover and brand of the publishing house - Solomonov, managed to mean 11 books with this brand - strict frames on the covers of ten of them are signed by my hero.

It is difficult to insert the picture with attention to Solomonov’s participation in the “universal magazine”: the first in Russia illustrated “fat” monthly. The artist was provided with a carte blanche: cover, vignettes, screensavers, endings-everything is stylistically interconnected and quite elegant. Solomonov, I think, was the first to compose a new type of cover-a photograph of the dominant “hero” number in the first Soviet years replaced the undesirable-old-regime-old-regime-old-regime-design-old-mode-designing-decorating elements.

In the “universal” article by Solomonov about Auguste Rodin was published: art history debut in the capital. Probably, according to fresh Parisian impressions: indirectly - signatures under work - a long stay of the artist in the capital of art in and GG is revealed. In addition to what has already been said, there were many achievements. Invitation of the Moscow book publishing house "Sphinx" to the project of the illustrated forty -tomed publication of the works of the Gonkur brothers; the beginning of cooperation with the Moscow Book Prescription; Petersburg and even - foreign publishers.

The years of brilliant debuts in both capitals were overshadowed by a protracted trial with the Odessa sculptor I.The press was pierced by headlines: “The limits of artistic criticism”, “Employment to freedom of criticism”, “Solomon Court”-writers, artists, public figures, and the leadership of ah were involved in experts. To insert the picture will give a textual reason that gave rise to such a noisy thing: “The sculpture is poorly presented.

All these figurines G. Mormone are continuous academic products in which there is no drops of artistic creation, there is no soul of the sculptor, cold, indifferent to everything that he sculpts. And I conclude an episode with excerpt from the “Decree of the Government Senate”: “The Senate found that the opinion of G. Solomonov, expressed by him in a review of the exhibition of South Russian artists, although it may be erroneous, but without reference to any fictional facts, cannot be equated with the message of obviously false information, all the more so that the author offers readers to verify the correctness of his Opinions based on a personal impression.

For these considerations, the Senate, without recognizing the cash in the article by G. Solomon’s intent of slander and considering the sentence of the chamber correctly, decided to leave the cassation complaint to G. Mormon without consequences in the true accordance with the true content of the article on punishments. ”
