Ленин в Смольном», написанной в 1930 г. И.И. Бродским (1884–1939), и его творчество показано на фоне идеологической ломки изобразительного искусства и личного успеха художника. Дневники П.Н. Филонова (1883–1941) помогают при этом увидеть И.И. Бродского в необычной перспективе не только как основоположника целого направления так называемого социалистического реализма в изобразительном искусстве Советского Союза, но и как человека со своими мыслями и чувствами. Бродский сумел пройти удивительную трансформацию академического художника дореволюционного времени к корифею советского искусства. В этом сказался талант человека и художника, сумевшего уловить веления времени и ответить на них актуальным искусством как до, так и после Русской революции, оставшись в то же время признанным академическим мастером мирового уровня, полотна которого могут быть вполне поставлены в один ряд с работами кисти Диего Веласкеса, Алексея Антропова или Жака-Луи Давида. На примере его ранее неизвестной работы (вариант картины «В.И. Ленин в Смольном) открылась неизвестная до сегодняшнего дня, противоречивая и экспериментальная сторона его творчества.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The article attempts a biographical reconstruction of the artist’s life with reference to his painting V.I. Lenin in Smolny (1930). I.I. Brodsky (1884–1939) and his work are presented against the backdrop of the terror of the 1930s, the ideological collapse of the fine arts, and the artist’s personal success. The diaries of P.N. Filonov (1883–1941) make it possible to see I.I. Brodsky from an unusual perspective not only as the founder of an entire movement of the so-called socialist realism in the fine arts of the Soviet Union, but also as a man with his own thoughts and feelings. Brodsky managed to undergo an amazing transformation from an academic artist of the pre-revolutionary period to a pillar of Soviet art. That reflected his talent of both a person and an artist who was able to grasp the tendencies of the time and respond to them with relevant art both before and after the Russian Revolution, while remaining a recognized academic master of the world level and whose canvases can be quite rightly placed alongside the works of Diego Velazquez, Alexei Antropov, or Jacques-Louis David. Based on a hitherto unknown work (a variant of the painting Lenin in Smolny), the article reveals an unknown up to the present day, contradictory, and experimental side of his art that echoes an era full of tragedy.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>И.И.
