Exhibition "Brusilovsky" Automatic translate

A large exhibition “Brusilovsky” will open in the Perm Art Gallery, representing the author’s works of one of the most peculiar and brightest artists of the last third of the 20th century and the first decade of the 21st century, a cult figure in the art of the Urals - Misha Shaevich Brusilovsky.

About 60 paintings from the early 1950s to the 2000s will be presented, including Brusilovsky’s first self-portrait and one of the artist’s last works - a portrait of Nicholas II.

The basis of the exhibition will be exhibits from private collections of Eugene Roizman and the widow of the artist Tatyana Brusilovskaya. The exposition will be complemented by the author’s works of both the master himself and the famous artists of his circle Gennady Mosin, German Metelev from the funds of the Perm Art Gallery.

Misha Shaevich Brusilovsky (1931-2016) - Soviet and Russian artist, painter, monumentalist, graphic artist. Honored Artist of the Russian Federation, Honorary Member of the Russian Academy of Arts. He went from a banned artist of the era of the Soviet underground to world recognition. Brusilovsky’s work is a huge energy of color, merged with themes and images of paintings in which the master turned to mythological and biblical plots, historical facts, while being not a “chronicler of the era,” but an artist-philosopher. At the same time, humor is inherent in his works, a combination of what would seem incongruous - dramatic to the limit of drama with comicism, high pathos with an ironic play by images of art from previous eras and styles.

A special exhibit at the exhibition is a sketch for the legendary painting “1918” in 1963, on which Brusilovsky worked together with Gennady Mosin, and which became a landmark not only in the fate of the artist, but also played a serious role in Russian art of the second half of the 20th century.

A native of Kiev, who ended up after graduating from the Leningrad Institute. Repin by distribution in Sverdlovsk, Misha Brusilovsky remained there for life and over the years became a real cultural symbol and a kind of brand of Sverdlovsk-Yekaterinburg, an artist who managed to gain true recognition and remain independent of the political and artistic situation.

The exhibition was organized with the support of the Ministry of Culture of the Perm Territory. Permians will be able to get acquainted with the work of the legendary Russian artist from March 6 to May 5.
