Anniversary plein air "VDNH-80"

17.07.2019

VDNH-80 years! I'm writing the oldest fountain.

The second fountain "Kolos" was created in 1954 by architects K.T. Topuridze and G.D. Konstantinovsky and sculptor P.I. Dobrynin. The material was reinforced concrete, covered with gold and red smalt. On a granite base is an ear with 6 covered with smalt horns of plenty. The first fountain in 1939 was made of copper, quickly collapsed and was dismantled in 1949. Reconstruction of the second fountain was carried out in 2018, it did not work for 30 years before that.

As part of the anniversary plein air, two more sketches were written - the fountain "Stone flower" of Tuporidze and Dobrynin, and a sketch written in the pavilion "Cosmos" - "I am the Earth, I see off my children".
