VITEBSK -
BIRTHPLACE OF MARC CHAGALL
VITEBSK -
BIRTHPLACE OF MARC CHAGALL
This is the first and very beautiful reason to visit the "FotoKrok"!
Марк Шагал
In 2019, it was the 100th anniversary of VNHU, created by the most famous Vitebsk resident and one of the world's most famous artists – Marc Chagall. This is a good reason to visit with the team of the festival "Fotokrok-2019" the most iconic places associated with the life of the great painter:
- The House-Museum Of Marc Chagall;
- Art-center of Mark Shagal.;
- WNHU, Vitebsk people's art school, restored to
100-year anniversary.
Vitebsk is the city that gave the world the famous avant-garde artist Marc Chagall. Chagall was in love with his native city from childhood: as a small boy, he liked to sit in the attic and look at the low houses and endless fences, the Church and roads of his native provincial city. This love he carried in his heart through all his life, as well as the love for Bella, whom he met immediately.
Now the image of Vitebsk at the beginning of the XX century can not be found almost anywhere, only in the works of the master. Marc Chagall painted in his Studio, which was located in his own courtyard. From her window she could see the hill on which the Church stood, a Church that the artist had often depicted.

Just like a great artist, participants of the photo Club use Vitebsk as a texture to create their photographic masterpieces. And they do it perfectly!

Brand postcard of Vitebsk photographer Sigismund Yurkovsky
Сигизмунд Юрковский. Фотограф из Витебска
Sigismund Yurkovsky is a significant person in the history of photography and his invention in the power of Vitebsk to make a Mecca for photographers. It was here that he made an invention of the world's photographic level-the instant shutter, without which no photographic camera is complete.
The name of Sigismund Yurkovsky has entered the history of national and world photography. He lived at a time when the shutter speed that regulates the amount of light that falls on a light-sensitive surface was reduced from hours to minutes and seconds. The role of the device used to block the light flow was long performed by the lens cap, and the time it was taken to expose the photographic plate was counted by the photographer on a regular clock or in his mind. And when particularly light-sensitive materials were created and the shutter speed was reduced to a fraction of a second, a fairly precise automatic mechanism was required to control the shutter. Masters of light painting in different countries of the world began to work on its creation. A photographer from Vitebsk also took up this task. His efforts were crowned with success — Sigismund Yurkovsky invented the "instant shutter" of the camera, which we today call the shutter-slit. This shutter formed the basis for the creation of photographic equipment for the next hundred years-until the advent of digital technologies.
The participants of the festival is traditionally visited St. Barbara's Church, which was buried Sigismund Yurkovski.
