Society and Culture: Exhibition “Expressionism in Russian Art” to open in St. Petersburg

The exhibition “Expressionism in Russian Art” is opening on September 20, 2018 in the Benois Wing, the Russian State Museum (St. Petersburg).

“Expressionism in Russian Art” continues an ongoing exhibition project on the major styles and movements in Russian art of the 20th century (exhibitions “Russian Symbolism,” “Impressionism in Russia,” “Russian Neoclassicism”). Over the first three decades of the 20th century, Expressionism not only embraced all kinds of visual art in Europe and North America, but also influenced literature, music, theater, and cinema, as well as people’s view of life. In each country, an original national version of the international movement was formed.
