Society and Culture: "Art Hunters" exhibition to open at the Museum of Russian Impressionism in Moscow

From April 21 to August 29, 2021, the Museum of Russian Impressionism (Moscow) will host the "Art Hunters" exhibition. The exposition will feature more than 70 works by Russian and Soviet modernists of the first third of the XX century - from Konstantin Korovin and Alexander Benois to Kazimir Malevich and Niko Pirosmani. The project's partner is the Saint-Petersburg KGallery.

The exhibition will tell about 14 collectors from Moscow and Leningrad and their history of collecting and preserving museum-quality artworks in the 1950s and 1980s.

The audience will see the works by Boris Kustodiev and Konstantin Somov (artists from the "World of Art'' association); Pavel Kuznetsov and Nikolai Sapunov (symbolists of the "Blue Rose'' movement); Robert Falk, Ilya Mashkov and Aristarkh Lentulov (Moscow followers of Paul Cezanne from the "Jack of Diamonds" association). The exhibition will also include the naive art by Niko Pirosmani, paintings and drawings by Boris Grigoriev, canvases by Wassily Kandinsky and Alexei Yavlensky. Many of these paintings are still rarely showcased to the general public.
