Exhibition project "To Remember ..." Automatic translate

March 2 at 16.00 in the Gallery of Siberian Art (Karl Marx St., 23) a new exhibition opens long-term project of the Irkutsk Art Museum “To Remember…”, dedicated to the memory of the departed artists of the Baikal region. This time, the attention of art lovers is presented by the work of seven Irkutsk artists of different generations - each author this year has a round birth date.

In 2018, George Levy celebrates 100 years, Anna Yushkova, Boris Bychkov and Anatoly Kostovsky 90 years old, Nikolai Zhitkov 80 years old, Vladimir Zhemerikin and Boris Desyatkin 70 years old. Someone (such as Nikolai Zhitkov) has already been represented in the museum by a large personal exhibition, while others (Levy, Bychkov, Kostovsky, Desyatkin) will have such exhibitions open during the year. The project “To Remember…” allows you to look at the development of the Irkutsk art school as a whole - through the fate and work of its most prominent representatives.

“The personal and creative fate of artists in time evolved in different ways: some lived a long and creatively completed life; others left early and prematurely, leaving an unfinished creative legacy. All artists, so different and unlike each other, were united by the 20th century, the last classical century of Russian culture, ”says the project curator, art critic Tamara Dranitsa, about the exhibition. - The participants of the commemorative vernissage each in their own way reflected the historical spirit and spiritual pathos of the time, the dreams and experiences of contemporaries, created unique images of the Siberian landscape and ultimately wrote their own biographies, captured the image of the artist himself with his emotional reaction to contemporary events and faith in moral the purpose of his craft for future generations. "
