The image of the peacock in the painting Natalia Goncharovaand Mikhail Larionov
The article highlights a previously unexplored topic: consideration of various interpretations of the image of the peacock in the works of Larionov and Goncharova. There is no literature devoted to such a narrow subject, there are only mentions of paintings in books and articles, among which one can distinguish the works of А. Ryleva in the collection "Amazon avant-garde" and Е. Kulikova, interpreting a poetic work Gumilyov «Goncharova and Larionov». The study focuses on three interpretations of the image of an exotic bird, the author traces the stylistic and fi gurative transformation of the theme. The text deals with the works from the collections The State Tretyakov Gallery, The Volgograd Museum of Fine Arts, The Omsk District Museum of Visual Arts, The Ulyanovsk Oblast Art Museum and The Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts. This work is dedicated to the monographic exhibition Mikhail Larionov in State Tretyakov Gallery, in which for the first time were shown all the pictures described in the text within one exposition.
