April. 1968

Since mid of 1960s, Dmitry Maevsky many lived and worked in the village of Podol, Tver region, near the Academic Dacha, where he makes most of the works of this period. The flowering of his creativity relates to the period from late 1950s until the mid of 1970s. The artist continues to work on portraits of war veterans, the advanced workers and farmers. And although he achieved considerable success, this genre and work to orders are increasingly perceived them as an inevitable tribute for the opportunity to engage in real creativity. And here it all the more attractive landscape of Central Russia with a high sky and the vast expanses of fields, tending the horizon distances of the forest, the village outskirts, the March sun and the colors of autumn. Nature in his paintings full of understated beauty and dignity, and pictorial language is precise and delicate. It allows him to create a truly lyrical images.

This dichotomy, which became a sign of the times, and typical for many artists, who will accompany the creation of Maevsky until 1980, finding reflection in his paintings: "April" (1968), "Summer Day in Podol village"[15] (1970), "Portrait of Kukin, a veteran of Great Patriotic war"[16] (1971), "Portrait of farmer Nosov"[17] (1972), "Portrait of Grinev, the сollective farm worker"[18] (1973), "Fields and copses",[19] "Portrait of tractor-driver Filyaev",[20] "Portrait of Vera Dieva, collective farm brigadier" (1975 ), "Cool May"[21] (1976), "Portrait of a tractor driver Khrustalev",[22] "A March sun"[23] (both 1977), "Sunny May"[24] (1978), "The village of Podol" (1980), and others.

They often reflect shades of sadness. His painting acquire greater generality, the drawing becomes more laconic. Composition of painting acquire a more rigorous form and expressing the author's intent.

All that was done by Dmitry Maevsky in landscape painting, it was extremely sincere and deeply felt, foreign to the slightest hint of external effects, the play, imitation. Soft, understated beauty of Russian nature was understood and shared with them how little anyone of the artists. Particularly worried about it's time to spring awakening: the first spring sun, the first heat, the first green, the last snow.
