Exhibition in memory of Anatoly Kuznetsov on the Kuznetsk bridge Automatic translate

Today, November 20th, the exhibition "Anatoly Kuznetsov and students" opens. The exhibition is organized by the Moscow Union of Artists and takes place in Moscow, in the exhibition hall on the Kuznetsk bridge. During the opening of the exhibition, the presentation of the album will take place, the publication of which Anatoly Vladimirovich planned during his lifetime.

The artist and teacher A.V. Kuznetsov had a desire - to collect an exhibition of the works of students, of which he had a large number of 15 years of teaching, and accompany it with a catalog, giving it the name “15KU”. Such an exhibition was to be a huge support of the master to his students.

After the departure of Anatoly Kuznetsov in life in 2010, the project started by the artist was adjusted. The sal album looks different than Kuznetsov imagined it. Now it is divided into two large parts, the first of which is dedicated to the master himself. It contains articles about the artist’s work, memories of him, interviews, photographs from archives and his early paintings. The second part of the album presents the work of his students.

The contents of the album, due to the fact that unique materials are collected together, and even placed in chronological order, give a complete picture of the life path of Anatoly Kuznetsov. The first step on this path was studying at the Moscow Art College, then the VGIK Art Department followed, which Kuznetsov graduated in 1964. Since this year, the artist’s work began at the Mosfilm studio, where he worked for 25 years.

In the same year, Anatoly Kuznetsov began to present his work to the public - only six personal exhibitions took place, and how many were in total - not counted. The exhibition of works by students of Anatoly Kuznetsov, dedicated to the memory of the artist, will be open until December 2.
