Exhibition 'The Century of the Avant-Garde'

About exhibition

At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries a number of new movements appeared in world art that art historians have called 'the avant-garde', and today it serves as a foundation for addressing contemporary artistic challenges. The avant-garde movement was a kind of protest by artists against the outdated canons of the classical school of painting, which helped develop a radically new approach to contemporary visual art and allowed both artists and viewers to see art from a different perspective. This approach remains largely relevant today. M. Larionov, N. Goncharova, V. Kandinsky, P. Konchalovsky, A. Kuprin, A. Lentulov, I. Mashkov, R. Falk and many others sought a fundamentally new approach to modern painting, and it was largely this group of artists that laid the groundwork for freedom of artistic conception in genre painting today. These artists strove to achieve maximum expressiveness in their works through a minimum of pictorial means.
