The exhibition was planned as an anniversary (of the 85 th anniversary), but the unexpected death of the artist for a few days before its opening has made this exhibition in post-mortem. Kim Britov died on the night of 5 /6 January, the hospital, where he gave called an ambulance. However, when the doctors arrived, they found the artist signed his work, and until all linens and studies have not been signed, he did not leave the shop. As it turned out, forever.

Kim Britov lived in the art of a great life and did much to popularize
Vladimir painting, whose meteoric rise in the early 1960's revealed to the world
another facet of art in Russia - in addition to coating of socialist realism, severe style
and nonconformism. Three named to determine what became known as the picturesque
Vladimir School - B. Yukino, K. Shaving and B. Kokurin. It is they who merit
creating a powerful pictorial movement, has drawn into its orbit many artists.
Inner freedom and emancipation allowed them to experiment, to seek and
make unexpected, original and artistically valuable results. Proximity to
capital (three hours by train) enables them to be aware of all the artistic events
in Moscow, and the relative distance from it to ignore coming from
Moscow "decrees" in the field of fine arts. The gradual expansion of geography in situ studies (Center of Russia, north, Crimea, Carpathians, France) enriched by these artists with new motives, new reflection on the state of nature, different from Meshchersky. In mid-1970's Vladimir painting "opens" Madame Nakamura - Japanese galeristka, with a light hand that the Japanese discovered
Treasures of Russian painting of XIX and XX centuries. In the 1980's picture of the Vladimir
