"Our artists' show" Russian Americans "

[SergeiSK]

From 13 to 27 September 2009 in the gallery "Our artists will open the exposition" Russian Americans "featuring works by Russian artists of the first half of XX century, created in exile. The works come from private collections in Moscow and St. Petersburg and from the collections of the gallery.
The exhibition develops the theme begun by the exhibition "American Artists from Russia Empire, held in 2009 in the Russian Museum and Tretyakov Gallery. "Private meetings provide a unique opportunity to see works created in exile of outstanding masters of Russian art in the first half of the twentieth century - Sergei Sudeikina, Boris Anisfeld, Mstislav Dobuzhinsky. The period of their work in exile for many years was removed from the textbooks on the history of art and virtually not represented in the national museum meetings, "- commented Maria Roguleva, chief editor of ART AUCTION Russia.
Among the Russian Americans are artists who received recognition already in exile. These masters are, for example, Pavel Tchelitchew and brothers Eugene and Leonid Berman. Tchelitchew and his paintings have become known in the U.S. much earlier than in the homeland of the artist. In 1942 he had a solo exhibition at New York's Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). Career Eugene and Leonid Berman, who studied at the French symbolists, including Edouard Vuillard and Maurice Denis, also formed after his departure from Russia.
"The subject of the Russian emigration has long been the focus of gallery" Our artists. "We have already held a series of exhibitions, highlighting the work of many of its representatives, - said Natalia Kournikova, the owner of the gallery of our artists." - In the gallery the domestic audience for the first time got the opportunity to learn with Russian abstract painting in France mid-twentieth century, Paul Chelishchev easel paintings, works of emigre Mstislav Dobuzhinsky and other masters. I believe that it is the Russian emigration to a large extent been able to develop something of value that was embedded in Russia in the heyday of the national culture in the early twentieth century.
