The second characteristic feature of the "Abramtsevo school" is the training in rare folk art crafts.

However, college teachers try to take into account all the socio-economic and cultural changes in the country, as well as the demand for graduate professions in the labor market.

The history of the college begins from the Abramtsevo estate near Moscow, which belonged to patrons and connoisseurs of Russian art Savva Ivanovich and Elizaveta Grigoryevna Mamontov.

In the 1870-1880s. an art circle was formed here, which later received the name "Abramtsevsky". It included prominent Russian artists V.M. Vasnetsov, I.E. Repin, V.A. Serov, M.A. Vrubel, V.D. Polenov and others. In their work, they turned to the national artistic heritage, looking for new forms of national self-expression.

Samples of works of peasant art, collected by members of the circle in the surrounding villages and during trips to the northern and central provinces of the country, served as a source of inspiration for artists and became the basis of collections when creating a museum of folk art in Abramtsevo, and several educational art workshops - carpentry, pottery and workshop women's needlework. The art and joinery workshop laid the foundation for the Abramtsevo College.

The educational process in the studio followed the mainstream of European art education. The use of authentic monuments of traditional art in teaching was considered an advanced method.

“Our county,” wrote E.G. Mamontov, is full of small handicraftsmen working for the Trinity Lavra with toys, caskets and various wooden things. I have long wanted to renew this production through the school, mainly by introducing new artistic
samples ... The ultimate goal of the workshop is to prepare handicraftsmen with a more developed taste, who always have a Museum with ready-made artistic samples and a Workshop ready at any time to give advice, and in the sale of goods.

E.G. Mamontova sought to embody a philanthropic idea - to provide each master who graduated from the workshop with a solid income that would not "tear him away from life in the countryside."

An art and carpentry workshop was established in 1885 on the basis of a carpentry workshop that had existed in Abramtsevo since 1876 at a literacy school for peasant children. Its first artistic director was a talented artist, the sister of Vasily Dmitrievich Polenov, Elena Dmitrievna Polenova (1850-1898).

A huge influence on the work of the artist was provided by V.M. Vasnetsov. “I didn’t study with Vasnetsov in the truest sense of the word, that is. I didn’t take lessons from him, but somehow I gained an understanding of the Russian folk spirit from him, ”wrote Elena Dmitrievna. It was he who persuaded Polenova to use her numerous sketches from peasant household items, as well as authentic monuments of carving and painting on wood, when creating new models of products for the carpentry workshop.

Starting with paintings made by peasants, Polenova moves on to designing the objects themselves, starting with quoting the motifs of folk art, moving on to the creation of new motifs and new objects, to free creativity on the principles of peasant art.

In total, more than 100 pieces of furniture were made according to the sketches and drawings of the artist: various cabinets, shelves, tables, benches, frames, table accessories, decorated with patterns of trihedral-notched and flat-relief carving, coloring and toning. The design of the samples was also carried out by V.M. Vasnetsov, V.D. Polenov, A.S. Mamontov (son of S.I. Mamontov) and other members of the circle.

The opinion about Vasnetsov's decisive attention to the formation of the artistic direction of the Abramtsevo carpentry workshop, and through it - furniture and interiors in the neo-Russian style, is not an exaggeration. The first works of Polenova were created with the direct participation of the artist. The latter are truly an encyclopedia and a truly inexhaustible source of motives, techniques, forms of the entire system of the neo-Russian style.

The novelty of the artistic language of the Abramtsevo things, their correspondence to the tastes of the society of that time and the affordable price ensured great consumer demand, recognition at Russian exhibitions in Nizhny Novgorod, St. Petersburg and Moscow.

Every year, boys from the surrounding villages who graduated from elementary school were admitted to the workshop for a three-year period. The training was free. Through the efforts of E.G. Mamontova and E.D. Polenova, a special atmosphere reigned in the workshop, nurturing in children a love of creativity and respect for the traditions of national culture. There were frequent conversations and meetings with the artists of the Abramtsevo circle, reading aloud, acquaintance with the exhibits of the museum.

The nature of the program was developed taking into account the social background of the students, the craft skills they received at home. The children were instilled with an attentive attitude to the execution of each thing with the obligatory development of its project. The development of artistic taste and skills was facilitated by copying numerous old chests and other exhibits of the Abramtsevo Museum. The execution of the work was monitored by experienced craftsmen, who also came from peasants. History has preserved the names of the first mentors - Kuzma Fedorovich Denisov and Ivan Antonovich Komissarov.

After graduation, graduates, receiving a workbench and a set of tools as a gift, continued to work as apprentices on orders from the workshop for a year. She, as far as possible, took care of them further, taking care of the sale of products. All 28 people who graduated from the workshop during the life of E.D. Polenova, continued to live in neighboring villages, working on her orders.

There is little information about the training workshop for women's needlework and the pottery workshop. The latter existed on the estate under the guidance of technologist P.K. Vaulina from 1890 to 1896, and then was transferred to Moscow. The gold medal of the Nizhny Novgorod All-Russian Exhibition in 1896, awarded to the works of students, testifies to the high level of teaching pottery in it. Their products were "imitation of antique metal objects." Most likely they
were made in the traditional folk technique of black polished ceramics. Along with the works of students, the exhibition featured works by the outstanding artist Mikhail Vrubel, who actively collaborated with the Abramtsev pottery workshop.

After the death of E.D. Polenova's "handicraft" nature of the carpentry workshop began to change. Since 1898, the artist Natalya Yakovlevna Davydova (1873-1926) became its leader, and in 1908 Maria Fedorovna Yakunchikova (1864-1952), who had previously been fruitfully involved in organizing domestic art crafts, joined her. Under them, the production part of the workshop was significantly expanded to the volume of a furniture factory, where orders for the manufacture of iconostases, libraries, and canteens were carried out.

Since 1894, Yegor Abramovich Zelenkov (1875-1939), a former graduate of the workshop, performed the duties of the senior master. From 1911, education was extended to four years due to the introduction of such a subject as polishing. According to the surviving information in the period from 1885 to 1912. about 200 experienced craftsmen came out of the workshop.

The fruitful work of the Abramtsevo workshop inspired the figures of the Moscow provincial zemstvo to organize educational workshops in Sergievsky Posad: a toy workshop and then an art and carpentry workshop. Many well-known artists and art historians successfully collaborated with these workshops - V.M. I am. Vasnetsov, S.V. Malyutin, N.D. Bartram, N.Ya. Davydova, V.I. Sokolov and others.

Zemstvo activities in Sergievsky Posad marked the beginning of the wood burning and painting industry, as well as carpentry and carving. Furniture sets and individual pieces of furniture designed by the artists were replicated by craftsmen and students of both the Posad and Abramtsevo workshops. Both workshops jointly created a collection of carved items and decorated the Handicraft Pavilion of the Russian Department at the World Exhibition in Paris in 1900 with decorative carvings, where the furniture of the Abramtsevo workshop was awarded a gold medal.

From the end of the 1890s. Vasily Petrovich Vornoskov (1876-1940) from the village of Kudrino, a graduate of the Abramtsevo carpentry workshop, worked in the zemstvo township workshop, who is considered one of the founders of the famous "Abramtsevo-Kudrinsky" direction in wood carving. Thanks to natural talent, diligence, virtuosity in carving techniques, Vornoskov managed to organically combine the techniques, ornamental motifs of traditional carving with new ways of processing wood. The main feature of the carving is a flattened relief pattern with softened (“oval”) edges in the form of freely curved branches with “fingered” leaves and birds sitting on them, tinted in golden brown. The production of a variety of cabinets, shelves, caskets, ladles, dishes decorated with "Abramtsevo-Kudrinsk" carvings quickly grew, turning into a craft.

After the October Revolution, the state's need for the export of handicrafts of a "pronounced national character" contributed to the preservation and further activity of the art and carpentry workshop. In 1918, the Abramtsevo estate was nationalized and transformed into a state museum, and the Abramtsevo carpentry workshop was transferred to the subdepartment of the Art Industry under the People's Commissariat of Education and transformed into the Central State Woodworking Educational Production and Demonstration Workshop. About 40 students studied in the workshop under the guidance of experienced instructors E.A. Zelenkova, A.S. Maksimov, artists N.V. Filasov and A.S. Mamontova, daughter of S.I. Mamontov, who simultaneously worked as a curator of the Abramtsevo Museum. The gifted artist Konstantin Vasilyevich Orlov, a graduate of the Stroganov School of Industrial Art, was appointed director. In addition to special subjects, general education subjects and the then obligatory political literacy, designed to educate "conscious fighters for socialism", were introduced into the new curriculum.

The materials of the All-Russian Agricultural Exhibition of 1923 testify to the high level of training of masters. The exposition of the section of the exhibition dedicated to the Abramtsevo Production and Demonstration Workshop was represented by a decorative eight-meter boat topped with horse heads and filled with small carvings made by teachers and students.

On the initiative of the Moscow Provincial Committee of the RKSM in 1924, not far from Abramtsevo, in the former hotel of the Pokrovsky Khotkov Monastery, a training and production carpentry workshop was opened for 150 children from orphanages. For two years, joiners and wood carvers were trained in it, using the educational experience of the Abramtsevo workshop.

The Abramtsevo Production and Demonstration Workshop itself in 1926 was transformed into the Artistic and Woodworking Furniture School of Handicraft Apprenticeship. Despite the economically difficult decade for the country, from 1918 to 1928. it trained 94 craftsmen and 8 carpentry instructors. The school mainly worked on self-financing, surviving through the export of products made according to the "Polenov" samples, as well as the production of furniture for kindergartens, decorated with Soviet symbols.

In 1931 as a result of the reorganization, both educational institutions were merged into one - the Abramtsevo woodworking vocational school with a two-year term of study, which is now located in the former monastery hotel in the village of Khotkovo. A large team with 250 students was headed by experienced teachers - artists A. A. Toporkov
(1896-1995), a graduate of the Stroganov School and V. I. Sokolov (1891-1957), who wrote in 1936 a well-illustrated book "Woodcarving", which became for many years a methodological guide for students and teachers of art vocational schools.

First of all, the vocational school trained qualified specialists in carpentry for the Abramtsevo-Kudrinsk craft, which was gaining momentum.

At the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, the Abramtsevo vocational school was closed. However, already in August 1942, in connection with a government decree on the restoration and development of art crafts, it was reopened. A great merit in preserving the school and transferring it to a qualitatively higher level of training of specialists belonged to the director Viktor Dmitrievich Mochalov. During the war years, famous sculptors A.V. Petrov, I.K. Altukhov, artist A.M. Gavrilyuk, instructors A.S. Maksimov, K.D. Prosviryakova, N.I. Starostin, A.I. Tselovalnikov and other masters returning from the front after being wounded.

In 1944, the school changed its name to the Abramtsevo Professional Art School. The term of study was increased from two to three years. The teaching of general education disciplines was introduced in the amount of a seven-year school, as well as modeling, drawing, and composition. In addition to training cabinetmakers and masters of "Kudrin carving", an experienced carver M.N. Zinin taught a group of guys in the specialty "Bogorodsk carving", due to the fact that the neighboring Bogorodsk vocational school was closed.

Many aspired to the school, however, only those who studied well and successfully passed the entrance exams were admitted to it. Remembering the years of his study during the war, the carver A.G. Tishin testified: “A benevolent atmosphere reigned at the school, holidays were arranged, and a training brass band operated. Despite the time of hunger, students were provided with hot free meals, uniforms, hostel and even scholarships.”

The appearance in Khotkovo of the subsequently known bone carving craft is directly related to the creation of a department for the training of bone carvers at the Abramtsevo vocational school. The art of miniature wood and bone carving has existed in the Trinity Sergius Monastery since ancient times. In the 1930s the state attempted to revive this extinct art. At the Scientific and Experimental Institute of Toys in Zagorsk, courses were organized to train carvers - miniaturists. In 1947, their best graduates - V.E. Loginov and F.M. Mozikov - became the first instructors of the new bone carving department of the Abramtsevo vocational school. The main task of the department was to train personnel for the newly organized bone carving artel "Folk Art" in Khotkovo, in which 20 first graduates came to work already in 1948. In the 1950s and 1960s the artel was an experimental laboratory for the study and implementation of new technologies and equipment, a methodological center for masters of similar industries. In the products of the Khotkovo craft, an original artistic and figurative style was guessed, realistically interpreted modern plots, images of birds and animals, complemented by characteristic plant "Abramtsevo-Kudrin" motifs of patterns, prevailed.

In 1957, on the basis of the vocational school, the Abramtsevo Art and Industrial School was created. It trained master artists for folk art crafts not only in the Moscow region, but throughout the country.

The heyday of the school, which began with the "thaw", is associated with the activities of its director Yuri Yakovlevich Tsypin (1920-1987), an honored teacher of the RSFSR, who led the team for about 30 years. He invited AHPU graduates who graduated from the capital's art universities as teachers, encouraged their creative inclinations and the search for new teaching methods.

New departments were opened in the school: art ceramics, painting on ceramics (existed until 1991), artistic processing of metal and stone. An educational building, dormitory buildings and training and production workshops were built. In 1991, the school was transformed into a college with a branch in the city of Pyatigorsk. On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of its founding, the rod was awarded the Order of the Badge of Honor and named after one of the founders, the artist Viktor Mikhailovich Vasnetsov, for success in training artists-masters for folk art crafts.

In June 2014, the AHPK officially became a branch of the Moscow State Academy of Art and Industry named after A.I. S.G. Stroganov.

Abramtsevo College of Art and Industry named after Viktor Mikhailovich Vasnetsov is famous for its graduates not only in our country, but also abroad.
Its history began in Abramtsevo estate in 1870, when this estate was bought by a major industrialist and philanthropist Savva Ivanovich Mamontov . Together with his wife, Elizaveta Grigorievna, who is madly in love with art, they were able to unite leading Russian artists around themselves. Thus, a creative circle was formed, later called "Abramtsevsky".

Spiritual unity reigned in the circle, the atmosphere contributed to the creation of the most wonderful works of art. Much attention was paid to the preservation and development of folk art. Elizaveta Grigorievna opened a school for children from the surrounding villages, and then with her - carpentry workshop. One of the teachers of the workshop was Elena Dmitrievna Polenova. Gradually, the children learned how to create decoratively designed furniture, using folk art motifs in carving, on the basis of which they developed new compositions.
After the death of E.D. Polenov's "handicraft" nature of the carpentry workshop began to change, the production part of the workshop was significantly expanded, turning into a kind of furniture factory , where orders for the manufacture of iconostases, furnishings for rooms, libraries, and canteens were carried out.

From the end of the 1890s. a carver worked in the zemstvo township workshop Vasily Petrovich Vornoskov(1876-1940) from the village of Kudrino, a graduate of the Abramtsevo carpentry workshop, who is considered one of the founders of the famous "Abramtsevo-Kudrinsky" direction in woodcarving. V.P. Vornoskov managed to organically combine the techniques, ornamental motifs of traditional carving with new methods of wood processing.

After the October Revolution, the state's need for the export of handicraft products contributed to the preservation and further activity of the art and carpentry workshop. In 1918, the Abramtsevo estate was nationalized and transformed into a state museum, and the Abramtsevo carpentry workshop was transferred to the subdivision of the Art Industry under the People's Commissariat of Education and transformed into " Central State Woodworking Educational Production Demonstration Workshop».

After the end of the Civil War, a war was declared in the country against homelessness.
On the initiative of the Moscow Provincial Committee of the RKSM in 1924, not far from Abramtsevo, in the former hotel Pokrovsky Khotkov Monastery for children from orphanages, another institution was opened - the Educational and Production Carpentry and Carving Workshop, which included 150 people. For two years, joiners and wood carvers were trained in it, using the educational experience of the Abramtsevo workshop.

In 1931 as a result of the reorganization, both educational institutions were merged into one - Abramtsevo woodworking vocational school with a two-year term of study, which is now located in the former monastery hotel of the village Khotkovo .
In 1944 The school changed its name to Abramtsevo vocational art school. The term of study was increased from two to three years. It introduced the teaching of general education disciplines in the amount of a seven-year school, as well as modeling, drawing, and composition.

The emergence of the well-known bone carving trade in Khotkovo is largely due to the creation of a department for the training of bone carvers at the Abramtsevo vocational school. The art of miniature wood and bone carving has existed in the Trinity-Sergius Monastery since ancient times. In the 1950s - 1960s. the artel was a kind of experimental laboratory for the study and implementation of new technologies and equipment, a methodological center for masters of similar industries. In the products of the Khotkovo craft, an original artistic and figurative style has developed.

In 1957 on the basis of the vocational school was created Abramtsevo School of Industrial Art, the flourishing of which is associated with the activities of the director Yuri Yakovlevich Tsypin(1920-1987), Honored Teacher of the RSFSR, who headed the team for about 30 years. Under him, the school went through a period of formation, strengthening the material and technical base, and a qualitative increase in the level of teaching. Yu.Ya. Tsypin invited AHPU graduates who graduated from the capital's art universities to teaching positions, encouraged their creative inclinations, and the search for new teaching methods. The school opened new departments - artistic ceramics, artistic processing of metal and stone.

During the classes, students got the opportunity to use the materials of the still life and methodological funds, the library, which has about 30 thousand books, take part in the work of circles, an amateur film studio, which received the title of "People's Photo Studio". The Museum of Military Glory of the 326th Red Banner Rifle Division of Warsaw was created at the school, where war veterans have been coming to meetings for many years. About 2,000 exhibits are stored in the art samples room of the school.

In 1991 Abramtsevo School of Industrial Art was reorganized into Abramtsevo College of Art and Industry V.M. Vasnetsov.
Through the efforts and talents of the majority of graduates, many traditional art industries in Russia have been revived: ceramic crafts in Gzhel, Skopin, Dulevo, Ramon, Kazan, bone-cutting and stone-cutting centers in Arkhangelsk, the Perm Territory, woodworking industries in Khotkovo, Sergiev Posad , Kirov and in other regions.

In 2005, the AHPK them. Vasnetsov celebrated his 120th birthday. On this occasion, a big celebration was organized in DK Gagarina , all visiting guests, former students, teachers received memorable gifts .
Currently, the college provides training for 5 years in six areas - art ceramics, art processing of metal, stone, bone, wood, decorative painting department. Students receive diplomas of secondary special education and become artists-masters.

Sergiev Posad and its region is a region with a rich history. The history of Sergiev Posad has almost seven centuries of eventful life. The Trinity-Sergius Monastery was founded in 1337 by St. Sergius of Radonezh. In the XIV - early XV centuries. several settlements arose around the monastery (Kukuevo, Panino, Klementyevo, etc.), united in 1782 by decree of Catherine II into a city called Sergiev Posad. From 1930 to 1991 Sergiev Posad was called Zagorsk, in memory of the deceased secretary of the Moscow Committee of the Party .M. Zagorsky, then the historical name was returned to the city.
