前言

弗拉基米尔·西蒙诺维奇·别西科夫是一位典型的现实主义画家。从他的作品中，我们可以看到现实主义流派不朽的生命力。

画家的风景作品并不局限于纯理性化的再现，笔锋所至仿佛是随心所欲，但随意之中却自有那浑然天成的精妙——体现了自然的真迹。他所选取的题材大都朴实无华：乡村小径、木屋、干草垛、河岸、泊船等，画家乐此不疲地表现着景物之美。通过旅行，他积累了大量素材，他特别喜欢在那些古老的城市游历—诺夫戈罗德、普斯科夫、老拉多加、贝罗茨斯克、阿尔汉格尔斯克等老城都留有其足迹；古老的住宅、饱经沧桑的城墙、独具特色的寺庙，无不牵引着画家饱满的创作情感。画家注重全景的表现与季节的改变，其大量的冬季风景作品尤为令人惊叹。别西科夫偏爱冬季写生，尽管这一季节并不适宜长时间的户外作画，但是在画家看来，冬天是最能体现俄罗斯建筑惊人之美的季节，没有了绿树丛荫的遮掩，那些古老的庙宇显得越发生动、和谐。

别西科夫的作品散发出一种静谧的温馨。没有人头攒动，不见鸟影穿梭，枝叶也不再窃窃私语，偶尔微风轻拂水面，却又害羞似的不敢发出声响。暖洋洋的夏日散发着慵懒却不燥热的气息；霜白的秋日、枯萎的树林一片沉寂，倦怠的昏暗笼罩着大自然，静悄悄的森林温柔而神秘；冬日里，久违的阳光照在积雪上，跳跃着蓝色的光点，仿佛在严寒中轻吟曼舞……而所有这一切似乎有着共同的色调，渗透在整幅作品中，仿佛悠扬舒缓的旋律，体现了万物的和谐与统一。

Vladimir Simonovich Pesikov is a typical realistic painter, from whose artworks, we could see the eternal vitality of realism.

The painter doesn’t have his landscape paintings limited in pure and rational reoccurrence. Every tiny brush stroke in the paintings looks random and arbitrary, yet natural and exquisite, showing the authentic nature. Most of his subjects are simple: pathway in countryside, cabin, haystack, river banks, boats, etc. The painter has been enjoying in showing the beauty of landscape. He has accumulated a large number of subjects during his trips. He likes travelling in ancient cities very much like Novgorod, Pskov, Old Ladoga, Belottesk, Arkhangelsk, etc.,the ancient dwelling houses, time-beaten walls, special temples of which have drawn great attention of the painter and his rich creation emotions. The painter pays attention to expression of the panoramic view and the seasonal changes, with his winter landscapes especially impressive. Pesikov has a preference on winter sketching, though winter is not a good season for long-time outdoor drawing. But to the artist, winter is the best season to show the fantasy of architectures in Russia, which, including the ancient temples, are more vivid and harmonious without the shade of trees.

There is sweet tranquility in Pesikov's artworks. No crowds, no shuttling birds, no swinging branches and leaves, and there is occasional breeze kissing the water, yet shy and quite. Summer is warm in leisure, yet nothing dry heat; in the frosty autumn, the withered wood stays still, the lazy darkness looms over the nature, and the silent forest seems mild and mysterious; in winter, the precious sunlight shines on the snows with blue jumping glints, like singing and dancing in severe cold. Meanwhile, all these seem to have shared the common color tones like gentle and graceful melody, showing the harmony and unity of the universe.
