Exhibition "Picturesque Russia" Automatic translate

The project “Picturesque Russia” is a traveling all-Russian exhibition organized by the Creative Union of Artists of Russia with the participation of the Russian Academy of Arts and the Volga branch of the Russian Academy of Arts with financial support from the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation.

The exhibition should be read as a picturesque hymn to the deep and diverse cultural traditions of a multinational country and as a slice of contemporary art life in Russia.

The exposition was assembled according to the geographical principle: the artists of the regional branches of the TSKhR created paintings dedicated to the native city and the region, its history and culture, architectural and natural landscapes, and the life of their countrymen.

As a result, a multifaceted artistic image of Russia arose with its enduring cultural and spiritual values, a deep historical heritage and an active immersion in modern life. It is also a holistic image of the current state of Russian painting with its broad view of the world, a respectful attitude to tradition and a bold experiment.

As a traveling exhibition traveling through the cities of the country, the project “Picturesque Russia” refers to the progressive experience of the Wanderers who updated the academic painting of their time and created the Russian tradition of critical realism. The exhibition "Picturesque Russia" intends to lay a new channel for this humanistic tradition and present the audience with the best examples of modern painting in all the diversity of its directions and forms, local and national art schools and vibrant individuals.

The exhibition in Kazan presents sixty-four works of forty Russian artists.

The exhibition runs until October 31.
