Mosaic panel "Hockey players" in the style of socialist realism. Created according to the original 1961 by A.A. Deineka "Hockey", which is in the collection of the Murmansk Regional Art Museum. Smalt.

1950s were the period of work on the "Hockey Players" mosaic, which was intended for a global but unrealized project for the Palace of Soviets. The Tretyakov Gallery contains drawings and sketches, as well as watercolors for mosaics.

The theme of sports was one of the fundamental in the painter's creative life; quite often he reflected it in his works. The original composition in oil on canvas "Hockey" was a preparatory material for the "Hockey Players" mosaic, which was included in the "People of the Land of Soviets" series of mosaics.

Dynamics, sports, excitement and struggle - everything is reflected very accurately and clearly.
