"Portrait of a Wife with Flowers and Fruit", 1838
Khrutsky is considered the founder of Russian still life. Seventeen summer guy he, the son of a Uniate priest, a student at a religious lyceum, went alone to St. Petersburg to take up drawing. And, apparently, not in vain. Khrutsky managed to develop his talent so much that in the twentieth century his still lifes were in almost every home. Not originals, of course, copies - most people could not afford real paintings. You and I observe Khrutsky’s work every day - the Russian thousandth banknote is decorated with a fragment of Khrutsky’s painting “Portrait of a Wife with Flowers and Fruits.” The artist's most famous painting depicts a young woman at a table filled with baskets of fruit, a decanter of water and a bouquet in a ceramic vase.

Marc Chagall (1887-1985) “Above the City”, 1914
Chagall is often called a Frenchman because they simply cannot believe that such an artist - avant-garde, innovative, emotional and fantastically talented - could be born in a small and far from well-known Belarus. A native of Vitebsk literally conquered the world with his unusual landscapes, portraits and genre compositions. It’s interesting that almost every stroke on Chagall’s canvas or paper is about love. About love for his tender and dear wife and muse Bella. The artist’s main feature is the figures of him and Bella, and sometimes other people, who fly in the paintings, ignoring all the laws of gravity and physics. Of the most famous works artist - “Above the City”. Small houses, tilted boards, everyday scenes... And lovers, whose flight is not hindered by any prosaic nature of life.
Andrey Smolyak (born in 1954). Project “Living Pictures”, 2010
Artist famous master not only brushes, but also shocking. The idea of his popular project “Living Paintings,” which began three years ago, is the desire to unite famous, talented and honored people of Belarus through the art of painting. The essence of the project is that politicians and artists, poets and businessmen, directors and athletes “try on” the images of the heroes of the artist’s works. Smolyak’s paintings have already included singer Larisa Gribaleva and actress Vera Polyakova, tennis player Maxim Mirny and biathlete Daria Domracheva, People's Artist Anatoly Yarmolenko and many others. The artist’s works are today in public and private collections in Belarus, as well as in France, Italy, the USA, Belgium, Russia and Holland.
Kazimir Malevich (1879-1935) “Black Square”, 1915
A great artist, an avant-garde artist who changed the world and predicted the future of architectural buildings, the father of Suprematism, the creator of the Futurist theater, an “artist-philosopher” - this is something you can read about Malevich in any paper or electronic encyclopedia. And one more obligatory addition to all the artist’s regalia is the author of the famous “Black Square”. According to the artist himself, he painted the picture for several months. Someone jokes that the artist simply did not have time to finish the painting on time and covered it with black paint. However, art experts see deep philosophical meaning in the painting. Subsequently, Malevich made several copies of “Black Square” (according to some sources, seven). Malevich also painted “Red Square” in two copies and one “White Square”.
Chaim Soutine (1893-1943) "Meat Carcass", circa 1923
The tenth child in a poor Jewish family from the small Belarusian village of Smilovichi, Chaim had an irresistible desire to draw since childhood, even though it was forbidden to the Jews. Despite the obstacles, he gradually achieved his goal: first he studied at the private school of Jacob Kruger, then he studied in Vilnius for three years. And finally Paris! Years of suffering, fermentation, hunger, disease... It was worth it for the whole world to talk about Soutine, for his expressive, crazy, hurricane-like paintings to be measured at auction in millions of dollars. For example, at a recent May auction at Christie's, his painting “The Little Confectioner” went under the hammer for $18 million! And among happy owners his works included Isabella Rossellini, the Chaplin family, the publisher Gallimard, the descendants of Chagall, Francis Ford Coppola... The expressive “Meat Carcass” depicted in the twenties of the last century can be considered the artist’s most famous painting.
