Kelin Peter (1877-1946) CALADOS 1933 Tamaño - 46,8 x 59,8 Material - lona Técnica - óleo Número de inventario - ZhS-367 Comprado en G. S. Godlina. 1961

Pyotr Ivanovich Kelin, pintor y profesor, es conocido principalmente como retratista, pero también fue autor de composiciones de género y paisajes. "Trabajadores a cielo abierto" es una de las pinturas de género del artista, que representa a niñas caladas, trabajadoras en el taller de bordado a máquina, que se dedicaban a bordados calados y transparentes.

Kelin recibió su educación artística en la Escuela de Pintura, Escultura y Arquitectura de Moscú (1896/1897–1905/1906), donde estudió con Abram Arkhipov, Alexei Korin y Valentin Serov. En 1900/1901, el joven artista recibió pequeñas medallas de plata por dibujos y bocetos. Kelin se mantuvo fiel a los principios del realismo, que desarrolló bajo la guía de sus mentores.

Desde el punto de vista compositivo y estilístico, los Openworkers están en sintonía con las obras de Arkhipov. Kelin adoptó mucho de su maestro, lo que se puede ver tanto en la construcción compositiva y espacial de la imagen como en el uso de una pincelada amplia y rápida. Se adhiere a esta forma de escribir en sus otras pinturas de género.

El maestro vivió y trabajó en Moscú. Impartió clases con los alumnos en su estudio privado (1903-1917). Muchos de sus alumnos llamaron a este taller “La Escuela de Arte de P.I. Kelin", aunque no tenía un estatus tan oficial. El artista enseñó en 2 Talleres Estatales de Arte Libre (GSHM, 1918-1920), donde enseñó dibujo anatómico y de perspectiva.

Kelin era miembro de la Asociación de Artistas Realistas (OHR), organizada por ex miembros de la Asociación de Exposiciones de Arte Itinerantes, quienes no estaban satisfechos con las reglas de la Asociación de Artistas de la Rusia Revolucionaria (AHRR). En su estilo creativo, Kelin combina los principios del realismo errante con elementos de la tradición académica y rasgos de la modernidad.

La pintura "Calado" pertenece al grupo de obras de género del artista y ocupa un lugar importante en su obra, revelando los rasgos característicos del método pictórico del maestro.

For the 18th-century and 19th-century burials, see Donskoy Monastery.

Entrance to the cemetery

The New Donskoy Cemetery (Новое Донское кладбище) is a 20th-century necropolis sprawling to the south from the Donskoy Monastery in the south-west of Central Moscow. It has been closed for new burials since the 1980s.

The cemetery outside the monastery walls was established in 1910, when there was no more place for new burials inside the medieval monastery. The speaker of the first Russian parliament, Sergey Muromtsev, was among the first notables to be interred there. Maria Gartung, the daughter of Alexander Pushkin who served for Leo Tolstoy as a model for Anna Karenina, was buried in 1919.

After the Russian Revolution, scores of Soviet soldiers killed during the Battle of Moscow and people executed by NKVD were secretly buried at the Donskoy Cemetery. It is believed that the mass graves from the era contain the remains of Mikhail Tukhachevsky, Pyotr Krasnov, Vsevolod Meyerhold, Isaac Babel, and other victims of Stalin's regime. The remains of painter Valentin Serov, composer Sergei Taneyev, and poet Vladimir Mayakovsky were exhumed and transferred to the more prestigious Novodevichy Cemetery.

In 1927 the former church of St. Seraphim was rebuilt to become the first crematorium in Moscow. Most of the mortal remains buried at the New Donskoy Cemetery are therefore interred in urns. The church featured extended vaults which seemed suitable to accommodate the technical equipment for the cremation of bodies. The new crematorium was opened in October 1927 and most of the individuals buried in the Kremlin Wall Necropolis were cremated here. Until the mid-1970s the Donskoy crematorium remained the only one of its kind in Moscow.  

In 1930, Bolshevik authorities dug a large pit in the east portion of the cemetery to act as a common grave for the crematedashes of executed political prisoners from Joseph Stalin's Great Purge; the site was intentionally chosen for its isolation from normal burial sites due to its "shameful" history as Eastern Orthodox consecrated ground during the Tsarist era, which the Soviets had revoked as part of their general persecution of religion in the USSR. The ashes of numerous executed prisoners, both common and high-ranking—including notorious figures such as Nikolai Yezhov, Mikhail Tukhachevsky, Grigory Kulik, Pavel Alexandrovich Alexandrov etc. — were unceremoniously dumped here until the grave was filled and closed in 1942. The pit currently bears two markers, one erected during the Soviet era and simply reading "Common Grave Number One: Unclaimed Ashes from 1930-42." while the other was erected after 1989 and reads "Here lie the remains of the innocent victims of political repressions in 1930-42 who were shot. To their eternal memory."
