The exhibition "Soviet neorealism" is now in Moscow Automatic translate

MOSCOW. Since December 20, Muscovites had the opportunity to get acquainted with the artwork of the Soviet thaw, made by graduates of the Institute of Fine Arts named after the great Repin, located in St. Petersburg.

The exposition was located in the New Manege until December 27, after which it will continue its “journey” in Russia. "Soviet neorealism" covers a fairly extensive period from 1953 and inclusive to 1968 - the time of the fall of the "Iron Curtain" after the death of I. Stalin.

At this time, artists were given the opportunity to create freely and unique works were allowed to be protected, which were sharply knocked out of the general background by their style or content. However, the impressions of the exhibition are ambiguous and the public will have to figure it out on their own, which is more in these works - longing or hope.

Young talents in all ages are prone to maximalism, which does not allow them to lie in their work. And therefore, all heavy thoughts, implicit assumptions, hidden emotions and dreams, find their expression even in the image of simple still lifes, not to mention the plot productions.

The heroes of the paintings all as one possess an incredibly deep inner world, which is manifested in facial expressions, poses, and plots. Artists created their own reality, often very different from reality. The life of the Soviet Union went on as usual, but was colored by the imagination of its creative youth.
