On July 19, the reporting exhibition of the participants of the All-Russian Graphic Symposium «The Pearl of Russia Elbrus-2018» was opened on the basis of the Elbrus Educational and Scientific Complex of the Kabardino-Balkarian State University. The exhibition was opened by the rector of the Kabardino-Balkarian State University named after H. M. Berbekov Yuri Altudov.

The exhibition presents the best works performed by the symposium participants in three weeks — artists from Kaliningrad, Krasnoyarsk, Halle (Germany), cities of the South of Russia and pupils of the creative workshop of the People’s Artist of Russia, the full member of the Russian Academy of Arts, Professor German Pashtov.

The exhibition was opened by artists from Kabardino-Balkaria, Ossetia, guests from Germany and England. Herman Pashtov, the head of the symposium, told the audience about the works presented at the exposition and their authors, noting that most of the participants of the symposium were engaged in drawing and painting from nature for the first time, but they made an impressive step in their development.

“Baksan gorge, one of the most beautiful places in the Caucasus, with amazing branches of Adyr-Su, Adyl-Su, Shkhelda, Azau, Itkol, Cheget, springs of narzans, turbulent mountain rivers and, of course, the majestic snow-white two-headed Elbrus made a strong emotional impression on artists . They all were inspired by this beauty and created works of high professional level in such a short time”, — assured Herman Pashtov, stressing that all the exhibition works are donated to the university.

In the course of the symposium, graduates and trainees of the creative workshops of the Russian Academy of Arts, teachers and students of the Kabardino-Balkarian State University, students of the Nalchik Children’s Art School received a charge of creative energy for further work and passed this state in their works, which was noticed by the rector of Kabardino-Balkarian State University Yuri Altudov.

“Here in the mountains the world is perceived differently. The internal creative reserves are opened, the vision of beauty is aggravated. That is why I very much want this educational and scientific base in the Elbrus region to become a significant cultural center, where talented artists and scientists will aspire, and no tourist will be able to pass by. And the symposium «The Pearl of Russia — Elbrus-2018» helps in the implementation of this idea, for which I am very grateful to you, said the rector of the Kabardino-Balkarian State University.

Noting the participants and organizers of the symposium with diplomas and letters of thanks, the head of the university said that such kind of creative events will take place at the university and, in particular, on the basis of the EUNC on a permanent basis. Next year it is planned to hold large symposiums on painting and sculpture with the invitation not only of domestic artists, but also foreign masters.
