This is the motto of the Odessa Photographic Partnership, which existed in the 19th century.. The most popular prominent photographer of Odessa, master of documentary reportage, Vikentiy Matviyovich Kugel, whose name was recently opened.

On the 18th of leaf fall, the Odessa National Scientific Library held a lecture dedicated to the history of Kugel’s work.

The head of the library department, Tetyana Shchurova, introduced the lecturer to the audience - a graduate student of science, a researcher in the history of photography, a famous Odessa photographer Oleksandr.

Leading listener of a collection of rare editions and manuscripts. And it was so incredibly symbolic. In addition to lectures and performances, we hear that the album is stored there under the title “Vikenty Kugel”. The photographer's view"

Due to Oleksandr’s broad, deep interest in exploring the history of photography, his fierce enthusiasm, his great professional knowledge, his passion, his love for the locality and every living thing, everything. . Kugel. . .

And then there was a very serious story about the great work on the creation of the album Svitlin V. Kugel. And also about the discovery of his grave at the Other Christian Treasurer. About the joke of the master, about the valley-bearing sustrich and the spilkuvaniya with one Vikentiy Matviyovich - Natalya, who gave her blessing to the creation of the album, helped put it together and revealed everything she remembered about.

The presenter illustrated his speech with lights in. Kugel on the great screen. Among them there were shown a lot of unknown, even brighter lights. It’s worth mentioning that it took almost 400 photos to complete the album, and the photographer’s downfall now totals over 2 thousand photos.

Well, here we go (with all these details), about everything that the guests smelled at the lecture.

Discover the name of the prominent photographer of Odessa, master of documentary reporting Vikentiy Matviyovich Kugel, Oleksandr Yakimchuk was reminded of his greatness.. I would like to understand that these ideas, which were developed next, will be explained to the greater world by the gifts of the Greater Powers.. Or maybe - with incredible love for the All-World until our once again Pearl of the sea. .

Having known a person on the Internet who is selling a cardboard box from the 19th century containing a glass plate (photos), Oleksandr got in touch with the seller. It quickly became clear that there were a whole box of such rare plates. On the plates are unique previously unknown photographs of Odessa in the period from 1913 to 1953. However, the seller did not inform the Vlasnik. . Realizing that it is impossible to work, the remains of valuable footage will simply be wasted, Oleksandr Yakimchuk told his friend, famous photographer, historian of photography Anna, about the rare find.

Anna with all her heart fell in love with the idea, connected with the history of the local place, and went through the process of finding a patron of the arts to purchase the entire collection.. Chudova Lyudina became a patron of the arts, collector Yuriy Maslov. In such a manner, the salesman planned his speeches, in the wondrous manner of destruction. And the discovery became unique for its historical value in the banners of Odessa.

Then began the long, painstaking, even painstaking work of the authors of Kugel’s upcoming album, with updated photographs, their descriptions and attributions. This year, the seller of the collection revealed the photographer’s name and handed over his business cards to his followers..

This is how Odessa became known as Vikentiy Matviyovich Kugel.

Kugel’s creativity and the development of his science allow us to develop new knowledge about those with a unique characteristic.

German by nationality, architect by profession and photographer by clicks.

Having become an eyewitness to three different eras. .

This marvelous people lived like a miracle in the difficult, turbulent hour of the Zhovtnevo coup, the Gromadyansk War, survived the occupation of Odessa by the Rumanians, lived to see the beginning of technological progress and, as a family member, grew up two. Kugel saw himself as an EYEWITNESS of the change of hours. I carried this meaning through all my life. Yogo ochima buv beautiful expensive camera. What can be a wonder for us today. The brilliance of the pictures is amazing.

During the 2 years of the lecture about Kugel, 40 years of history from the life of the local town actually disappeared before us. It was wonderful and absolutely wonderful.

Let’s say that another incredible miracle was the discovery and renovation of the grave in. Kugel. On the right in that precisely the place of his burial was not visible. Ale Oleksandr Yakimchuk spoke about those who showed enviable patience and perseverance in their searches, walking for a long time through the storeroom and, again, with marvelous rank, going straight to the grave of Vikenty Matviyovich. Now, according to the authors of the album, the photographer’s grave has been restored and visited.

During the hour of the lecture, Oleksandr Yakimchuk spoke several times to Ganna Golubovskaya and Yuri Maslov, emphasizing that without their strong work nothing would have happened.

All those present at the lecture were fed up with Oleksandr’s accomplishments, and also shouted at him for his false confession, the repeated disagreement with the critics, and that great robot that is troubling everything..

For the riddle about Vincent Kugel, he has lost his skills, and now we, Odessans, have lost his working tools and extremely talented photographs. It is significant that the role and life of Natalia Kugel in the context of world history and culture is no less important and, obviously, requires a separate description..

If you are not yet familiar with the unique creativity of Kugel, you will definitely admire the album of his photographs in local libraries. It is wonderful to be able to get to know the living history of Odessa.
