The last three halls of the Russian Museum in St. Petersburg, the final new permanent exhibition of Russian art of the twentieth century, were opened to visitors for the first time to show the number of iconic works.

The art of the twentieth century in the Benois Wing of the Russian Museum 19 rooms reserved, including the last three halls devoted to the period from 70 to 90 years of the last century. Museum staff emphasize that about half of the work presented here earlier in the museum premises are not exposed.

"Any exhibition devoted to the art of a certain period - it's concise narrative: it is impossible to show all at once, who played an important role in the history of painting or sculpture. We must build on the influence exerted by a certain artist, as well as from the collection owned by the museum. But In our opinion, the ultimate exposure appeared sufficiently representative, "- said the agency deputy director of the Russian Museum of Science Evgeny Petrov.

However, for the museum's new exhibition is not final, in particular, is scheduled to open room "of the Stalin period," and some employees of the museum will fill the gap with time.

The new rooms are of the so-called "harsh realism," such as "Morning" Mylnikov, "Cherry" Moiseenko, "Tyazhbummashevtsy" (a group portrait of the factory workers) Nieminen, as well as paintings Ossovsky, Yablonsky, Yakovlev.

In the next room, visitors can see both the work of artists recognized by the Soviet regime, and linens underground artists. There are on an equal footing "on September Mezen" Popkov and the "Last Supper" Borisova, and works Lubennikova Krestovsky.

"For us it was important that the viewer could see the next and the forbidden, and allowed the culture. These two processes were simultaneously, in parallel, and we wanted to reflect that in the exposition. That's how it is seen from the already XXI century", - explained the principle of exposure Petrova .

In the final room contains works of the last century: "Melting Clouds" Bulatov, "Space. Rhythm. People" Zlotnikov and "Triptych, N 11. Moments of Eternity" Yankylevsky.

"What is presented here - are already classics. For a modern, vibrant, changeable art there is the Marble Palace," - continued Petrova, referring to the Hermitage area, which presents contemporary art.

Museum staff emphasize that the exposure of the twentieth century is dominated by "free hanging" to a "frames are not lost masterpieces." Art of the past century is presented strictly chronologically, but some authors, such as Wrobel, Filonov, Petrov-Vodkin, allocated according to a separate room.

According to Petrova, the new exhibit will remain the most dynamic, since a huge number of works by artists of the twentieth century is still kept in the storerooms of the museum. "But in order to more fully represent a particular artist works, always in addition to the exhibition, there are exhibitions, which the Russian Museum and actively engaged in" - she specified.
