The most interesting event for puppeteers and connoisseurs of this art is the annual exhibition - a bright, colorful, and truly fabulous show takes place in Moscow for the eighth time. I want to note that on Sunday, the 17th is the last day.
As they used to call into tents with spectacular performances: “Hurry to see!”
4 thousand square meters of the prestigious exhibition hall in the center of the capital is occupied by the exposition of the best doll artists from around the world: 26 countries, hundreds of authors, thousands of dolls, Teddy bears, installations and projects created specifically for this show.
Every year, the organizers of the exhibition choose dolls that show off on the posters of the event. This year, the “faces of the exhibition” are the works of Hildegard Günzel – Magi and Allure dolls. These beautiful fairies have their own story, invented by the author, according to which they came to the world of people to teach them how to become better and kinder.
I'll show you a few.

Doll Hildegard Gunzel
Hildegard Günzel is one of the most famous and eminent puppet masters of our time. Having a diploma from the German School of Fashion, she became interested in dolls and their design; her first works were dolls-decorations on a string. The theme captivated the designer: Gyuntsel began to work with plaster, later she became interested in puppets and a boudoir doll. Her current technique is painting on white porcelain with a special wax coating, with which Günzel achieves a stunning naturalism - "know-how" and the secret of a master.

From year to year, the exhibition exhibits the works of laureates of the Pandora Platinum Prize, the founders of which are the Foundation for the Culture of Support and Encouragement of the Development of the Puppet Theater "Puppets of the World". The award is intended to reflect the path passed by the masters in order to evaluate the contribution of each artist to puppetry.

Master Olga Sidorova in her project ZODIAC presents 12 porcelain dolls, each of which is based on paintings by Peter Lowman. Each sign of the zodiac expresses the individuality of a person and symbolizes his soul and emotions - this is what the artist tried to reflect in her works.

Opening a gallery in the Central House of Artists in 1997, Irina Myzina dreamed of opening a new kind of art for our country to the Russian public - artistic collectible dolls. Irina, together with a team of enthusiasts, proved that copyright art dolls- this is a separate direction of art, as significant as painting or sculpture.
Craft puppet masters is a game, fine arts and needlework at the same time. The profession is suitable for those who are interested in drawing (see choosing a profession for interest in school subjects).
Features of the profession
If a sculptor or painter creates works of fine art, then the craft of a puppeteer seems to be something frivolous.
What is a doll performed by a puppeteer? This is an artistic image, a toy imitation of a living creature - a person, an animal, and maybe even evil spirits. But at the same time, it is a balanced design that makes the doll stable and, in some cases, mobile.
Ask any child which dolls he is more interested in: motionless beauties or those whose arms and legs move? Surely he will choose a simpler doll, but with which you can interact: with bending arms and legs. At worst, groovy.
For those who appreciate the doll as an artistic phenomenon, the unusual design and craftsmanship will be in the foreground.
art dolls self made seldom fall into the hands of children. Their destiny is to decorate interiors with themselves, to exhibit in galleries. In addition, there are puppet actors who play their roles in puppet theaters and cartoons. Moreover, in the puppet-actor, it is not beauty that is important, but expressiveness and ease of control.
To create a doll, you need to come up with and embody her appearance, character. If we are talking about a clockwork puppet or a puppet-actor, you also need to think about the internal structure, mechanics.
The doll artist has to work with fabrics, wood, polymer clay, porcelain, paints and many other materials. And each of them requires special technologies that the artist has to master.
No wonder they say that the craft of a puppeteer is an art on the one hand, and a game on the other. For a real artist, a doll is almost a living being. And a puppet for the theater is also a character in a play. And the more skillful the puppeteer, the more alive the character turns out.
The puppets in the theater are puppets and tablet puppets. The puppet is controlled by strings on which parts of its “body” are suspended. The puppeteer rises above the puppet and, pulling the strings, sets it in motion.
With tablet puppets, the opposite is true: the puppeteer hides behind a screen, and the puppet is above it. It is controlled by handles and levers.
The doll used in the animated film does not need any strings or handles. It is arranged in such a way that the multiplier can gradually change its position. A huge number of shots are taken, each of which conveys part of the movement. The doll comes to life on the screen when all the shots are shown one after another.
Workplace
A puppet master can work in his workshop, most likely right at home. A puppet theater artist works in a theater workshop. Animation film puppeteer works in an animation studio.
Important qualities
The profession of a puppeteer implies artistic abilities, a rich imagination, the ability to notice characteristic or unusual features in others, a penchant for working with hands, perseverance, and a sense of humor.
Knowledge and skills
A puppeteer must be able to draw, sculpt, knit, design, work with textiles, wood, etc.
