Deyneka’s art ranged over a wide area. There were studies of the nude, heroic workers & the shattered remains of Berlin. The latter are notable in their lack of triumphalism & in documenting the fall of the Nazi empire

1934 saw Deyneka visit Italy where he spent three weeks & created atmospheric images of Rome. Classical ruins & statues figure large, reflecting his academic training. He revelled in the contrasting light & shade of the Mediterranean climate

A Pioneer, Kursk (1934), Crimean Pioneers (1934) & a Parachutist Above the Sea (1934). Deyneka approached his compositions with great originality & verb. He had an authentic empathy with children, painting them without sentimentality. The parachutist is a unique composition

Girls (1933), Red Navy Swimmers (1933), Children (1933) & Behind the Curtain (1933). There’s been argument over Deyneka’s sexuality. It’s clear from his work that he was interested in showing both the male & female nude with sensuality & eroticism

After work you need a shower to wash away all that dirt - or go down to the river for a swim. Deyneka. Does anyone else paint skin in the sunlight with as much care and joy? Private bits have just been vagued-out.
