MOSCOW. Museum them. A.S. Pushkin in his exhibition halls on the Old Arbat, on April 26 opened the exhibition of the famous artist Vaclav Zelinsky , in which the artist presented 47 of his graphic works dedicated to the two greatest poets of Russia - Pushkin and Lermontov.

Two personalities who glorified Russian poetry with their works, connected not only with creativity, but also with a tragic fate, inspired the artist to a cycle of graphics presented to connoisseurs of art at the exhibition. The opened exhibition is of particular importance in the creative life of Vaclav Zelinsky, since the fruits of his many years of work have been placed in its exhibition.

The exhibition of graphic works, composed of two cycles - one was named "A. S. Pushkin ”, and the second, dedicated to Lermontov, Zelinsky called“ The Wreath of M. Yu. Lermontov ”, for the artist was not just a show of his works. It can be considered the beginning of the celebration of the bicentennial of Mikhail Lermontov, which experts in Russian poetry will celebrate next year.

The artist throughout his life worked a lot in the genre of book graphics, the series of posters he created, dedicated to the feat of the people who fought on the battlefields of the Great Patriotic War, became widely known. His illustrations to the works of famous writers also deserve worthy reviews.

Depicting Gogol’s characters in the illustrations, Vaclav Zelinsky thought about creating illustrations for Pushkin’s works. When the idea was put into practice, the turn came to appeal to the works of Lermontov, to some extent his successor. The dedication to Mikhail Lermontov can be divided into two parts - drawings and engravings.

For acquaintance with the cycles of the work of Vaclav Zelinsky, the museum was given a whole month, until May 26th.
