Dobuzhinsky Collection, which has appeared in the collection of the gallery "In Lenivke" never exhibited either in Russia or in France, many years have kept the legacy of the artist. Leaving the pre-war Prague, Dobuzhinsky left most of the personal archive, which included drawings and photographs. It is these works the artist was trying so hard to return for decades kept them corresponding with Russian emigres, Valentin Bulgakov and Nikolai Zaretsky. But it could carry only a small number of small works. The history of this archive is closely connected with the formation of Russian Museum abroad. Art is its value primarily in that it consists of works created in the brightest period of the artist, the period of his membership of a union of "World of Art". It was at this time formed his language, and were created by renowned graphic cycles "White Nights", "Bronze Horseman" and others.
Entering the legendary association "World of Art" a little later its founders Alexandre Benois, Eugene Lancer and others, he became one of its main participants, and even the ideologues. Textbook of the artist from the Russian Museum and Tretyakov Gallery, - only a small part of his brilliant legacy. They are decorated with dozens of books and magazines ("The Bronze Horseman," Pushkin, "White Nights" Dostoevsky "Fairy Tales" by E.-TA-A.Gofmana, "Three Fat Men" Olesha and many others), countless performances in Russia, Europe and America, among them Sergei Diaghilev's productions and performances of the Moscow Art Theater.
