Alexandra Utkina
The Ural Landscape
#5
The collection of the ‘Gamayun’ Museum Center presents a painting ‘The Ural Landscape’ by the naive artist Alexandra Utkina. This is a simple winter view. In the foreground, the artist depicted a dark blue water edge and silhouettes of tall trees. In the background, there is a dark strip of dense coniferous forest.
 
In her work, Alexandra Utkina often shows nature in a transitional state. In the ‘Ural Landscape’, the artist depicted the confrontation of winter and spring. It conveys tension through the twilight light, the contrasts of white snow and dark blue ice, which is about to melt into water. And the texture of the March snow in the foreground is loose and viscous.

Although the artist used a modest set of visual and expressive means, ‘The Ural Landscape’ looks dynamic due to the contrast of color spots: water, snow, black bare branches, and a low spring sky.
 
Many of Alexandra Unkina’s paintings were inspired by the village of Klenovskoye, where the artist lived and worked for many years. Her landscapes emphasize the severity and originality of the Ural nature.
 
The naive artist was born on November 11, 1922, in the Amur region. She spent her childhood and youth in the village of Voykovo in the Konstantinovsky district — the first Soviet commune named after the revolutionary Pyotr Voykov.
 
Alexandra Utkina told about this time in an interview,

I have a childhood memory — how we were given a full plate of honey — it was too much for kids. It was like that until the 1930s. And then famine began. Everyone did their best to survive. I ended up as a nanny, in the family of a political instructor. It was hard. But no one could have thought then that the most terrible thing was ahead.

In 1940, Utkina entered the Department of Natural Sciences and Geography of the Blagoveschensk State Pedagogical University, but did not graduate from it. The Great Patriotic War broke out. To get to the front as a volunteer, the artist took nursing courses. Until the end of the war, she served as a stereoscopist — commander of the rangefinder department of the 1st battery of the 175th separate Artillery division.
 
After the war, Utkina finished her studies and left with her husband for the Urals, where she lived most of her life in the village of Klenovskoye, or, as it was also called, Klenovoe. She taught biology and geography at school. In 1986, she moved to Yekaterinburg to live with her children and took up painting.
