Kazan Art College named after N. I. Feshin

Kazan Art School

The Kazan Art School was opened on September 9, 1895 at the request of the Kazan Provincial Zemstvo and the Kazan City Council with the permission of the President of the Imperial Academy of Arts, Grand Duke Vladimir Alexandrovich ^[1] . The initiators of its creation were graduates of the Academy of Arts - N. N. Belkovich , H. N. Skornyakov, G. A. Medvedev , Yu. I. Thyssen , A. I. Denisov ^[2] .

This was the first school in the system of secondary specialized art educational institutions ^[3] , subordinate to the Academy of Arts. Her best-trained graduates continued their studies at the Higher Art School at the Imperial Academy of Arts in St. Petersburg .

Initially, the Kazan Art School was located on Bolshaya Lyadskaya Street, in a red brick building that belonged to Sofia III Wagner's private III female gymnasium (now gymnasium No. 3 on Gorky Street , 16 / Gogol Street , 7). In 1900-1904, the architect K. L. Mufke erected a new building for the school on Georgian Street (now 70 Karl Marx Street ).

The school had Sunday free drawing classes, a museum, and a library.

ARKHUMAS

In 1918, the Kazan Art School was transformed into the Kazan Free Art Workshops (later the Kazan State Higher Art and Technical Workshops), which in 1921 became officially called the Kazan Art and Technical Institute (KHTI). The higher educational institution had picturesque, sculptural, architectural and graphic faculties.

In 1923, the institution was lowered in status and transformed into the Kazan Art College ^[4] , which in 1924 received a new name - Kazan Architectural and Art College. The most common name of the institution during this period was ARKHUMAS or KAHUMAS ( an acronym for one of the temporary names “Kazan architectural and art workshops”).

Several well-known Kazan art groups formed on the basis of ARKHUMAS: “Sunflower” (1918) combined the aesthetics of modernity with avant-garde trends; The Horseman (1920-1924) announced the development of engraving as an independent art, and issued a number of short-run publications equipped with author's expressionist and abstract prints of engravings; The Tatar Left Front of Art (TatLEF) (1923-1926) implemented the ideas of production art ; “The Declaration of Five” (1927) developed the “ OST ” direction in painting ^{[5] [6]} . By the end of the 1920s, the most influential in ARKHUMAS was the group Tatar Association of Artists of Revolutionary Russia (TatAHRR), which advocated a true reflection of reality, socialist realism .

Tatar College of Arts

In the second half of the 1920s, the technical school was merged with other educational institutions of Kazan. At this time, a number of prominent artists and teachers of ARKHUMAS left teaching, left for other cities or emigrated.

In 1926, it received the name Kazan Art and Pedagogical College ^[7] ; in 1927 it was renamed the Kazan Art and Theater College (as a result of the merger with the Kazan Theater College ); in 1930 - to the Tatar College of Arts (due to a merger with the East Music College ) ^[8] .

Kazan Art College

In 1935, the Tatar Art College, called the Kazan Art College, was allocated from the Tatar College of Arts.

By the Decree of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Tatarstan dated November 16, 2006 No. 551, the Kazan Art College was named after the artist Nikolai Ivanovich Feshin , one of his most famous graduates and teachers.

In 2007, it was transformed into an autonomous educational institution ^[9] .

On the basis of an agreement between the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Tatarstan , the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Tatarstan, the State Institution of Culture “ Russian Academy of Arts ” and the State Educational Institution of Higher Professional Education “ Moscow State Academic Art Institute named after V. I. Surikov ”, a branch of the Moscow State Art Institute named after V.I. Surikova in the city of Kazan. The branch was opened in March 2008 using the base of the Kazan Art School (in the building of the Kazan Art School).

By decision of the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Tatarstan dated April 24, 2008 No. 277, a branch of the Kazan Art College was opened in Zelenodolsk (at 4a Zasorina St., Zelenodolsk, Republic of Tatarstan, Zelenodolsk).

There are 5 departments in the Kazan Art College:

• preparatory - special courses for the preparation of applicants were opened in 1995. Duration of study - 3 months and 9 months.
• Painting - the oldest department, prepares artists and pedagogical artists for art schools. Duration of study - 4 years 10 months.

The school consists of two educational buildings located in buildings that are objects of cultural heritage , monuments of urban planning and architecture of federal (all-Russian) significance.

Osokin's House

Bessonov for the official and landowner Alexei Gavrilovich Osokin (1818-1887), a well-known public figure , the leader of the nobility of the Kazan province in the 1860s - 1880s. Kazan art school has been located in it since the 1930s ^[10] .

Mufke specifically for the art school ^[11] , which operated there until 1926 year. From 1926 to 1929 there is an industrial technical school of an increased type; in 1929-1930 - Polytechnic Institute; in 1930-1941 - Institute of Public Utilities Engineers. In 1941-2003, the building was the second building of the Kazan Aviation Institute (KAI), later a technical university (KSTU named after A.N. Tupolev) . In 2004, it was transferred to the Kazan Art College. The image of the building is placed on the emblem of the school.
