Yaroslavl Regional Library to Show Author’s Calligraphy
The exhibition ‘Russian Calligraphy and Ligature. Author’s School of Yuri Ivanovich Arutsev’ will open in the conference hall of the Universal Scientific Library of the Yaroslavl region named after N.A. Nekrasov at 4pm on January, 24th.
Today there is no serious author’s school of calligraphy in Russia. There is no school that has its own terminology, methodological works, learning algorithm and interest in results that prepare students to replicate the skills learnt. Yaroslavl has become a pleasant exception from these sad statistics.
In 2009 Yuri Ivanovich Arutsev, an expert doctor of the highest category, the founder of the Yaroslavl Historical and Genealogical Society, an active member of the historical and genealogical society in Moscow, a member of the Union of Genealogical Traditions Revival, and a graphic artist, founded the author’s school of ‘Russian Calligraphy and Ligature’ in Yaroslavl. Within 5 years he prepared more than 100 students, thus encouraging the development of the Yaroslavl school of calligraphy, which Yaroslavl dwellers and guests of the city could learn about at the series of exhibitions: Calligraphy and the Art of the Monogram (2009), State of the Soul (2012), Sails of Our Childhood (2013), Russian Calligraphy and Ligature (2014), which took place at the Yaroslavl Museum-Preserve and the House of Education Workers.
At the exhibition arranged in the library the visitors will see the works of first and second year students including absolutely charming texts written by 8-10 year old children. Moreover, professional works will be presented from such masters of calligraphy as Natalia Shamilievna Voronina, Tatiana Mihailovna Volodina and Natalia Nikolaevna Mosyagina who have surpassed their teacher in several directions of this great art — the art of beautiful writing, beautiful thinking, and beautiful thought expression.
