February days are famous for severe snowstorms and strong winds. But there are also wonderful sunny days. One of these days the artist Grabar captured in his painting "February Blue".
In the foreground is a slightly curved birch. It is covered with a thin layer of frost. Frost shimmers from the bright sun. It seems that pearl beads hang on the widely spread branches of the birch. A little behind there are many thin young birch trees, as if leading a round dance around the old birch. They are wearing the same luxurious clothes. All birch trees stand on a snow-white, sparkling from the sun, bedspread, slightly dropping bluish shadows on it. The old foliage on the tops of the birches seems to be fiery gold. The birch grove is shrouded in the warmth of sunlight, the approach of spring is felt.
From above, over a birch grove, a cloudless azure-blue sky stretched out. Closer to the horizon, it brightens.
On the horizon you can see a solid wall of dark forest. There, in the thicket of the forest, is still the realm of winter.

The painting by I.E. Grabar “February Blue” depicts a frosty February morning. Everything around is filled with blue light. Sparkling snow shimmers under the sun. The birch trees are pierced by sunlight. This is a holiday of the azure sky and pearl birches, a holiday of nature itself.
A cloudless blue-azure sky, brightens towards the horizon and becomes sapphire. Despite the fact that it is still winter, the sun is already warming well. But there is a lot of snow. In the sun, pure snow casts a white-blue color. From the birch trees fall blue with a purple tint. In the foreground is a tall birch. The trunk is not straight, but as if curved in a magical dance. It's dark underneath. The higher the trunk, the whiter it is. The branches are snow-white, covered with hoarfrost, which shines in the sun. At the very top of the birch, last year's foliage has been preserved. Covered with hoarfrost, in the sun it burns with a coral color. The artist looks at the birch from the bottom up, so its top and side branches are not fully depicted. Behind the old birch stands many young birches. They kind of dance around her. The pearl branches of the birches intertwined and a fancy lace turned out against the background of the azure sky. A narrow strip of forest darkens in the distance. If not for her, heaven and earth merged into one inseparable space.
february blue
When I look at this picture, I immediately understand that it depicts beautiful Russian nature, because against the background of a snow-white carpet there is Birch Grove. Each branch of birch, which is located in the foreground, is shrouded in hoarfrost, like lace. How it sparkles and shimmers on this clear, sunny day! The whole edge is flooded with light.
The snow glitters and sparkles merrily in the rays of the last winter sun, and the woven birch branches cast shadows in the form of a fancy pattern on the snow cover. Over the boundless birch grove stretched an immense azure sky. February is the most amazing month of the year. It smells so cool from it, but you can already feel the fresh, warm aroma of spring, which means that soon the grove will blossom in spring and put on a green outfit.
The main character of this amazing picture is a white-trunked birch. Its trunk is elegantly and gracefully curved, which conveys not only the magnificence of the tree, but also the strength. It seems that she is alive and, tired of the cold, exposes her sides to the gentle sun to warm herself. In the distance, her cheerful girlfriends are visible, who are no less beautiful and elegant. How realistic they look! It seems that you will reach out your hand, and you are about to touch the trunk.
Painting by I.E. Grabar "February Blue" fascinates. Separately, I want to note the skill of the creator. The artist used mostly cold colors when creating the picture. But the foliage that remains from last year and the trunks of birch trees, immersed in the rays of the sun, amiably shine with gold. How contrasting it looks against the background of cold white snow and a clear blue sky, from which it breathes freshness. It is this warm radiation that helps the viewer to understand that it is the last month of winter before him.
The peace and quiet of this picture beckons to be in the middle of a beautiful birch grove depicted on canvas, which leaves wonderful, joyful impressions and evokes the brightest memories. It is impossible not to note the subtle sense of beauty and love for nature of the creator who had a hand in writing this picture.
Description 2
Before us is the painting "February Blue". On it, the famous Russian artist I.E. Grabar depicted a frosty February morning. The picture seems to be overflowing with blue radiance. The snow sparkles and shimmers under the sun's rays. The birch is pierced by sunlight.
The azure sky is cloudless, towards the horizon the color becomes lighter and turns to sapphire. It is still quite cold in February, but the sun is already warming the air well.
We see that there is still a lot of snow around. In the sun, pure snow pierces the eyes with a light blue glow. Shadows fall from the birches, turning dark blue and purple in the snow.
The birch trunk is slightly curved, like the waist of a young dancing girl. Towards the bottom it acquires dark color, and at a height becomes snow-white. Thin snow-white branches are covered with hoarfrost, shining in the sun, as if adorned with diamond chips. At the very top of the tree, the withered foliage of last year is still visible.
The artist chose such an angle from which the tree appears before the viewer from the bottom up. Like a sculpture that captures the beauty of nature.
Behind the main Russian beauty, there are young birch trees that have not yet fully grown strong. They resemble a round dance of dancing girls. The artist managed to convey the dance of nature, its jubilation in connection with the approaching spring.
Birch branches intertwined like fine silk lace. A dense forest is seen in the distance, which separates the sky and the earth with a dark stripe. If not for him, they would have merged into one. There, in the dark and cold forest, winter still reigns. And here in the meadow, spring is already beginning to awaken.
Igor Grabar is rightfully considered the poet of the Russian winter. His picture is so realistic that you just want to come up and hug this thin-barreled birch, which with its branches is ready to hug you in return. Breathe in the fresh frosty air of a sunny February day. Hear the creak and crunch of fresh snow falling under your feet. And most importantly, enjoy the silence of nature.
The artist shared with the world a piece of that indescribable beauty that is found in Russia. The picture is filled with an abundance of bright colors and eye-catching streams of sunlight. Frosty freshness and purity of virgin nature emanates from the canvas.
Composition description of the painting February blue Grabar
I. Grabar, a talented Russian landscape painter, depicted on his canvas a winter landscape that boggles the imagination.
The winter February day plays with the bright color of snow-white colors, diluted with azure sky, so deep and bright. Many shades of blue convey the entire depth of the canvas, echoing and merging together, they create a colorful magical mosaic.
In the still frosty air, a slight breeze is felt, foreshadowing the change of season and the coming heat. Sunlight illuminates the forest edge. Usually February, harsh, full of blizzards and snowstorms, today is meek and quiet, bad weather has receded, clear days have come, foreshadowing the birth of a new life, warmth, and at the same time, hope.
In the foreground, proudly straightening up and spreading still bare sprawling branches, stands a young birch. The camp of the snow-white Russian beauty delights and attracts the eye with its almost unearthly beauty. So tall, reaching for the sky, she seems to be spinning in a dance.
Her birch friends, standing behind in an even formation, flicker with their white trunks with black stripes. It seems that they are about to spin in a round dance along the snowy creaking crust.
Through the branches of trees, the sky turns into a colorful kaleidoscope, there are many colors and shades - lilac, blue, blue, purple, ultramarine. Delicate pastel colors are pleasing to the eye and make you look at the details of the picture again and again. In the background, the line of the forest is visible, the trees, densely lined up next to each other, form a dense wall, depicted as a vague dark almost merging strip.
The space is full of light and air, giving the impression of an open space. The contrast of turquoise skies and white snow-covered land create an unforgettable landscape incomparable in charm. How many joyful emotions are captured in this gentle winter landscape!
This picture can be safely called an ode to spring, the trees are ready to meet the warmth, and the birds that fly in from distant warm countries are already throwing off their silvery snow caps in anticipation, but, despite the fact that it is February, everything breathes in spring, the last winter days are about to sink into oblivion and the long-awaited warmth will come.
The painter uncommonly brightly and colorfully revealed an ordinary spring plot, beating it in his own specific manner, he showed that in simple things hides grace, mystery and versatility.
Option 4
When you see winter, you see different shades of blue. Azure is an even better word to describe. This color by name hints at the mineral lapis lazuli, but by associations it is associated with some kind of space and something immense.
In fact, such an idea can be traced in this picture, here the artist acts only as a conductor of beauty created by nature. He simply tells the viewer, but does not invent anything from himself, on the contrary, Grabar tries to most purely, but at the same time quite vividly convey the improbability of this whole phenomenon. When you look at the February azure, you are immersed in the picture, you begin to strive to cover all these vast expanses with your eyes.
Although the perspective of the picture is closed by the forest and, as such, the space is not visible here, in fact, the feeling of it arises, because even the very name Grabar hints at this inclusiveness. When we look at the picture, we know how the azure sky stretches over all Russian forests, how it is reflected in the snowy fields, how cold the air is permeated, how the snowflakes sparkle, how colorful the trees are, how beautiful this expanse is. Beauty is the dominant factor here.
In fact, Grabar, describing a specific phenomenon, writes the beauty of nature. This is the task of the artist - to spread and establish beauty in the world. In this picture, Grabar coped with his task.

5. History of the painting.
“I was standing near a marvelous specimen of a birch, rare in the rhythmic structure of its branches. Glancing at her, I dropped my stick and bent down to pick it up. When I looked at the top of the birch from below, from the surface of the snow, I was stunned by the spectacle of fantastic beauty that opened before me: some kind of chimes and echoes of all the colors of the rainbow, united by the blue enamel of the sky. Nature seemed to be celebrating some unprecedented holiday of the azure sky, pearl birches, coral branches and sapphire shadows on lilac snow.
It is not surprising that the artist passionately wanted to convey "at least a tenth of this beauty."

Painting title: february blue
Exhibit place: permanent exhibition of the Tretyakov Gallery in Lavrushinsky lane, 10, room 38
Igor Grabar. February azure. 1904 Tretyakov Gallery. MoscowThe artist created a picture under the direct impression of nature. Igor Grabar wrote his “February Blue” in the winter-spring of 1904, when he was visiting friends in the Moscow region. During one of his usual morning walks, he was struck by the holiday of awakening spring, and later, being already a venerable artist, he very vividly told the story of the creation of this canvas.
“I stood near a marvelous specimen of a birch, rare in the rhythmic structure of its branches. Glancing at her, I dropped my stick and bent down to pick it up. When I looked at the top of the birch from below, from the surface of the snow, I was stunned by the spectacle of fantastic beauty that opened before me: some kind of chimes and echoes of all the colors of the rainbow, united by the blue enamel of the sky. Nature seemed to be celebrating some unprecedented holiday of the azure sky, pearl birches, coral branches and sapphire shadows on lilac snow.“. It is not surprising that the artist passionately wanted to convey “ even a tenth of this beauty“.
I. Grabar admitted more than once that of all the trees in central Russia, he loves birch most of all, and among birches - its “weeping” variety. This time the artist quickly returned home for a canvas, and then in one session from nature sketched a sketch of the future painting. The next day, taking another canvas, he began to paint from the same place an etude, which was everyone's favorite "February Blue". Further on this picture I. Grabar he worked outdoors, in a deep trench, which he specially dug in the snow.
February blue (detail)
In the “February Blue” I. Grabar reached the limit of color saturation, he painted this landscape in pure color, applying strokes in a dense layer. It was precisely such tiny strokes that revealed the volumes of tree trunks, and patterns of branches, and snow bumps. The low point of view opened up the opportunity for the artist to convey all the gradations blue color- from light green below to ultramarine above.

Igor Grabar, having mastered the best achievements of impressionism, found his art style in art - unique and original. The nature of Russia acquired a completely new look in his landscapes, sparkled with iridescent colors, filled with a sense of spaciousness and light. In this regard, Grabar continued and developed the beginnings that appeared in the work of I. Levitan, V. Serov, K. Korovin and other outstanding Russian landscape painters.
Biography of Igor Grabar
Igor Emmanuilovich Grabar was born on March 13, 1871 in Budapest, in the family of a Russian public figure E. I. Grabar. In 1876, his parents, who were among the supporters of the Slavic liberation movement, moved to Russia.
Igor's childhood was not easy. The boy was often separated from his parents, remaining in the care of strangers. From childhood, he dreamed of painting, tried to be closer to artistic circles, visited all exhibitions, studied the collection of the Tretyakov Gallery.
From 1882 to 1989, Grabar studied at the Moscow Lyceum, and from 1889 to 1895 at St. Petersburg University at once at two faculties - legal and historical-philological. After graduating from university, he entered the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts.
In 1895, he studied at the workshop of Ilya Repin, where Malyavin, Bilibin and Somov studied at the same time.
Summer 1895 during the holidays, Grabar travels around Europe, visits Berlin, Paris, Venice, Florence, Rome, Naples.
Returning to Russia in 1901, the artist was again shocked by the beauty of Russian nature. He is fascinated by the beauty of the Russian winter, admired by the "grace" and "magnetism" of the magical birch tree. His admiration for Russia after a long separation was expressed in the paintings: "White Winter", "February Blue", "March Snow" and many others.
In 1910-1923, he moved away from painting and became interested in architecture, art history, museum activities, and the protection of monuments.
He conceives and implements the publication of the first "History of Russian Art" in six volumes, writes the most important sections for it, publishes monographs about Isaac Levitan and Valentin Serov. Igor Grabar also published other art publications.
In the period from 1913 to 1925, the artist headed the Tretyakov Gallery. Here Grabar made a re-exposition, placing and systematizing all works of art in historical sequence. In 1917 he published a catalog of the gallery, which is of considerable scholarly value.
Igor Emmanuilovich is one of the founders of museology, restoration and protection of art and antiquity monuments. In 1918 the artist created the Central Restoration Workshop. He helped to save many works of ancient Russian art and the result of the work carried out by the workshops was the discovery of numerous outstanding monuments ancient Russian art - icons and frescoes in Novgorod, Pskov, Vladimir and other cities.
From 1924 until the end of the 1940s, Grabar returned to painting again, paying special attention to the portrait, depicting his relatives, scientists and musicians. Among his famous portraits are "Portrait of a Mother", "Svetlana", "Portrait of a Daughter in a Winter Landscape", "Portrait of a Son", "Portrait of Academician S. A. Chaplygin". Two self-portraits of the artist "Self-portrait with a palette", "Self-portrait in a fur coat" are also widely known.
In Soviet times, Grabar became interested in the work of Andrei Rublev and I. E. Repin. In 1937 he created a two-volume monograph "Repin". This work brought Grabar the Stalin Prize. Since 1944, Grabar was director of the Institute of Art History of the USSR Academy of Sciences.
(1871-1960) - famous Soviet artist, painter, art historian, professor, teacher, restorer. For my creative career created many wonderful paintings, which today are considered a real asset of Russian art. One of the most famous paintings I. Grabar is considered to be a work called "February Blue".
The landscape "February Blue" was painted in 1904. Canvas, oil. Dimensions: 141 x 83 cm. Located in the State Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow. The picture is written in the style of impressionism. The mood of the picture is joyful and bright. In this work, Igor Emmanuilovich tried to convey a sunny winter day in a birch grove. Thanks to his talent, the artist was able to convey not only the landscape itself, its realistic appearance and the slightest nuances, but also the very nature of a sunny winter day. When you look at the picture, you get a feeling of something beautiful, joyful and bright, which takes you away from everyday life and sings of the beauty of the Russian forest, the silence of a birch grove, a slight frost, the crunch of snow under your feet, the rays of the sun, which even in winter warm and promise the imminent arrival of the long-awaited spring.
In the foreground, we can see a birch tree, which has spread its branches and permeates the entire space of the picture with its majestic beauty. Here I. Grabar chose the angle in which the viewer looks at the trees from the bottom up, which makes the birch trees, as well as the entire space of the picture, even more impressive in its size and scale. The unusual angle, as well as the bright colors of the work, made the picture not just beautiful scenery but a true masterpiece. Looking at this work, it immediately becomes clear that there is something elusive in its basis and details, which makes the nature of the Russian forest extraordinarily attractive and exciting to the heart, soul and imagination.
The painting "February Blue" also heralds the arrival of spring. There is a certain sadness in parting with winter. The sun starts to shine brighter. The frosts are receding. The trees have already dropped their snow caps and soon streams will run through the forest, and buds will begin to swell on the birches. The picture is filled with the quick awakening of nature after a long hibernation. From the mixed feelings of sad parting with winter and the joy of the arrival of spring, the picture becomes even more exciting and touching for the most alive in the heart.
The history of the painting "February Blue" began after the artist went to his friends' dacha in February 1904. During his walk around the neighborhood, when a sunny day was established, the artist accidentally dropped his stick. Bending down to pick it up, he turned his head and suddenly saw something that struck him to the core. From a different angle, ordinary nature sparkled with completely different colors, the close snow shone, the trees seemed more majestic, the sky seemed even more blue. Igor Grabar immediately ran home to make the first sketch. The next day he went to the same place, dug a trench in the snow to set up an easel, and set to work. Thus was born a masterpiece of Russian art, which today pleases and delights art lovers and visitors to the State Tretyakov Gallery.
