Exhibition "Holy Baikal" Automatic translate

July 12 in the gallery of Siberian art (st. K. Marx, 23) opens the exhibition "Holy Baikal." The exposition includes over 50 paintings by Siberian artists from the collection of the Irkutsk Art Museum, united by a single theme - love for the native land and Lake Baikal.

The exhibition will bring together well-known and little-known to the audience paintings of classics of the Irkutsk school of painting, as well as those artists who are still inspired by the beauty of the great lake. A vivid and fascinating story about the “many-sided” Baikal in monumental and poetic paintings by Alexandra Madisson, Anvar Zakirov, Andrei Rubtsov, Galina Novikova, Vitaly Rogal, Anatoly Kostovsky, Vladimir Osipov, Vladimir Kuzmin, Sergey Kazantsev and many other Siberian painters. Each of them depicts Lake Baikal in its own way: for some it is harsh and gloomy, for some it is lyrical and inspiring, and someone in their works is worried about his fate.

The main genre at the exhibition is, of course, landscape, but there are still lifes and portraits here, also associated with Lake Baikal. Irkutsk residents and visitors will be able to compare their own impressions of the “glorious sea” with how artists see the holy Baikal.

The exhibition will open on July 12 and will run until August 12.
