Exhibition 'Contemporary Russian Art'

About exhibition

Currently the museum houses a collection of Soviet and contemporary Russian art (painting and graphics, sculpture, decorative and applied arts from 1917 to the early 21st century). The most significant part of the collection consists of works by artists of the 1920s who were members of the Jack of Diamonds group and the Association of Artists of Revolutionary Russia (A. Kravchenko, A. Kuprina, F. Modorova, G. Ryazhsky). The subsequent period is represented by works by A. Pakhomova, A. Rusakova and A. Osmerkina. Postwar Russian painting, generally notable for its variety of genres, is represented in the collection mainly by landscapes (A. Gritsai, N. Romadin), while the 1960s–1970s are represented by masters such as V. Ivanov, P. Ossovsky, I. Shevandronova, A. Tutunov, T. Salakhov and others. The art of the last decades is reflected in works by artists from Moscow and Leningrad–Saint Petersburg: N. Nesterova, I. Orlova, Yu. Pavlova, V. Tyuleneva.
