The exhibition, which opens on January 24, 2018, will acquaint the Moscow public with the works of the famous artist, which cannot be seen in permanent museum exhibitions. Eight works created by Karl Bryullov in different years demonstrate the diversity of the portrait genre in the master's work: these are ceremonial and camera images, a group family portrait, an equestrian "portrait walk", self-portraits.

Among the works in the exposition are the ceremonial image "Lady Upiano" (1838), "Portrait of E. P. Gagarina by her sons Eugene, Leo and Theophilus" (1824), as well as a repetition of the most famous self-portrait of Karl Bryullov.

Mausoleum of the Taj Mahal in Agra. Vasily Vasilyevich Vereshchagin, 1876

The works will be shown in series dedicated to the campaigns and travels of Vereshchagin: Turkestan, Balkan, Indian series, "Russian North", Japanese series. By arranging the exposition in this way, the curators of the exhibition take into account the desire of the artist himself to preserve the integrity of each of them. The cycle "Trilogy of Executions" and "Palestinian Series" will become special sections at the exhibition. One of the theoretical problems that the exhibition poses is reflections on the limits of realism, for example, the work of Vereshchagin.

The project will present more than 120 works by the master from the collection of the Tretyakov Gallery, the State Russian Museum and several regional museums, which have the artist's works of exceptional quality.

8. Unknown Wanderers

The exhibition season of the Tretyakov Gallery will end with a large-scale exposition "Unknown Wanderers", which will present the audience with about 200 works by Ilya Repin, Valentin Serov, Isaac Levitan, Ivan Shishkin and others, made in graphic techniques. Graphics are non-public, this is a technique “for oneself”, which gives absolute freedom of self-expression - this is what the curators think. In this form of art, famous and well-known painters appear unusual and, without exaggeration, "unknown artists", with whom the audience will have to reacquaint themselves.

Showing a series of etchings by Francisco Goya "Caprichos" - masterpiece satire of the Enlightenment, filled with grotesque, causticity, pain and madness - and a surreal replica by Salvador Dali, who brightly colored the graphics, added his favorite motifs to the images and came up with alternative signatures.

The geometry of the present

The V-A-C Foundation, while demonstrating smart and relevant projects in friendly territories, will open its future permanent site for a week. An international team of artists and musicians led by curator Mark Fell will sound the spaces of the pre-revolutionary power plant with sound art.

Artifacts of the High Gothic era associated with the reign of Saint Louis IX (1214-1270): sculptures, jewelry and miniatures of the 13th century, as well as stained glass windows of the most beautiful chapel of Sainte-Chapelle, which was built by the king as a repository of Christian shrines mined with a sword and gold . Dark and mystical Middle Ages at its best.

Triennial of Russian Contemporary Art

An ambitious attempt to present contemporary Russian art, not limited to well-known people. Six curators selected works of 60 artists from 40 cities, identified seven trends inherent in the art of all regions, and separately presented authors whose work has gone far beyond the borders of their small homeland.

Poste restante. Collections of the Russian avant-garde of regional museums. 1918-1930

The second part of a large-scale educational exhibition by Andrey Sarabyanov, one of the compilers of the three-volume Encyclopedia of the Russian Avant-Garde. Just like last year more than a hundred paintings will be taken from regional museums, including works by Wassily Kandinsky, Alexander Rodchenko, Lyubov Popova, Ilya Chashnik, Ivan Klyun, Alexander Labas, Robert Falk, Gustav Klutsis. The opening of the first part of the project, we recall, gathered a pleasantly surprised queue at the Jewish Museum - Moscow is not alive alone.

De Chirico. Nostalgia for infinity

representative exposition founder of metaphysical painting who knew how to create an otherworldly, surreal world on canvas with minimal means. About 100 works will be shown - paintings, drawings, sculptures from the collections of the Giorgio and Isa de Chirico Foundation, the National Gallery of Modern Art in Rome, the Pompidou Center, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. Bonus - theatrical costumes that the artist created for Diaghilev's performance "Ball" in 1929.

Antonio Gaudi. Barcelona

Gaudi forever changed the face of Barcelona, and first of all, the exhibition (in layouts, graphics, photographs) will tell about the most famous creations of the architect in this city: the grandiose Sagrada Familia, the Guell Palace and other buildings. In addition, furniture designed by Gaudí will be shown in Moscow, no less elegant and intricate than his architecture.

The luxury of imperial Japan

Emperor Mutsuhito (1868–1912), who called himself Meiji, ended Japan's policy of self-isolation. Since then, the country has actively mastered the achievements of the West and exported its ideas and heritage in return. Decorative art of a bright era for Japan will feature kimonos, vases, incense burners, ceramics, metal and fabric objects from the collection of British scientist and collector David Nasser Khalili.

Henri Cartier Bresson

The works of one of the founders of the Magnum Photos agency, the first photographer to exhibit at the Louvre, have already been shown in Moscow, but an exhibition of a master of this caliber is always welcome. Cartier-Bresson is without exaggeration a great author: his pictures were never staged, but they always turned out aesthetic and highly artistic.

Someone 1917

The Tretyakov Gallery, with the advent of Zelfira Tregulova, regularly shows projects both artistic and ideological. This also applies to attention to the artists of the "severe style", and the exhibition dedicated to the "thaw". The exposition about 1917, timed to coincide with the centenary of the Russian revolution, should be especially interesting and high in level. On the example of representatives of figurative (Petrov-Vodkin, Kustodiev, Serebryakova) and abstract (Malevich, Filonov, Popova, Kandinsky) painting, it will be indicated the reaction of the main artists of the era to the events that determined the course of history.

Guide to the most interesting exhibitions in Moscow in the second half of 2017

Autumn and the beginning of winter are not a reason to mope, but a great opportunity to go to museums and enrich yourself culturally. In 2017, Moscow will host several significant events at once: exhibitions of contemporary art, the arrival of guests from Asia and events in honor of the 870th anniversary of the capital. We have selected eight of the most interesting exhibitions worth visiting in the second half of this year.

If one autumn day you find yourself next to the Pushkin Museum, then even on the outskirts of the building, appreciate the scale of the Cai Guoqiang exhibition, which will be held from September 13 to November 12 this year. Right on the steps of the main entrance, the genius of contemporary art and the winner of the "Golden Lion" of the Venice Biennale will erect an unusual installation of 350 strollers and cribs. Russian birches will “sprout” inside each one - a symbol of different human destinies and a reference to the famous scene on the stairs from the movie “Battleship Potemkin”. If you remember, in it a stroller with a baby rolls terribly down the steps of the Odessa stairs for a long time, while the officers shoot the fleeing crowd. "October" is the first exhibition of Cai Guoqiang in Russia, it is dedicated to the anniversary of the October Revolution of 1917. Only she tells not about the event itself, but about the person who is experiencing it. The entire space of the museum will turn into one large-scale installation, where the famous twenty-meter gunpowder paintings, sketches, sketches and sculptural groups will be presented. The author asks: who is responsible for the fate of mankind? What are the consequences of our actions? Try to find your answers by getting to know Cai Guoqiang, a master pyrotechnician from the Middle Kingdom, whose creations graced the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, and the exhibition “Da Vinci of the People” gathered more than a million people and became the most visited event of the living artist.

An exhibition of paintings by the expressive artist of Belarusian origin Chaim Soutine, the general sponsor of which is VTB Bank, will open in the main building of the Pushkin Museum im. A.S. Pushkin on October 24 and will last almost three months. The exposition of the works of this unsociable and original author will be held in Russia for the first time. Paintings by Chaim Soutine are very dramatic in execution and give goosebumps even to modern sophisticated viewers. Numerous "bloody" gladioli, still lifes with eviscerated carcasses and original portraits literally ooze paint and, of course, stand a little apart from the works of other representatives of the "Paris School" - the community of French artists of the 1900-1960s. Perhaps such a non-standard artistic manner was associated with the constant presence of pain in Soutine's life. Contemporaries claimed that even his face seemed to express pain all the time: he suffered from a stomach ulcer and died from it on the operating table in 1943. The exposition will occupy three halls - under three areas of the author's work: portraits, landscapes and still lifes. The organizers tried to tell what Soutine grew out of as a creator and who he influenced. In total, about 50 works will be presented: 20 paintings belong to Chaim Soutine himself, and the rest belong to masters who were somehow associated with him: Mark Rothko, Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, Jean-Baptiste Chardin and others.

State Tretyakov Gallery, April 15, 2016 - December 17, 2017

Why "Reboot"? Because the exhibition, which the Tretyakov Gallery is holding until mid-December 2017, will show visitors the long-term path of contemporary Russian art and make it clear how it has evolved. The exposition is collected and grouped by genre so that guests can "combine" and "compare" the works that at different times fell into the museum's collection. An extensive panorama includes paintings, objects, assemblages, video works and installations, united by themes: "Abstraction", "Kineticism and Optical Art", "Mystics and Surrealists", "New Realism", "Pop Art", "Minimalism and Post-Painterly Abstraction". ”, “Sots Art”, “Conceptualism - an image in the head”, “Poetry and writing”, “Performance”, “Machines of understanding”, “Neo-expressionism”, “Conceptualism - a new generation”, “Postmodern archeology”, “Actionism 1990 -x” and “Project: Art of the 2000s”. Half of the 200 presented works belonged to the famous collector Leonid Talochkin and will be shown to the general public for the first time. The format of the exhibition corresponds to the name, and for the Tretyakov Gallery this is a great experiment: guests will be able to interact with some of the exhibits and even become part of them. For example, sit at a table, study interactive copies of works or turn them in your hands. In order for visitors to better understand what the charm of contemporary art is, the curators organized an additional educational program "Philosophy after Art", where you can listen to lectures and discuss the topic of free will and the connection between culture and technology.

The exhibition of watercolors and drawings from the first half of the 19th century is worth a visit, even if you are not an expert in art, just for the sake of aesthetic pleasure. 200 of the best watercolor and graphic works by artists of the Romantic era have been collected for the exposition: landscapes, genre drawings and everyday scenes. The semantic core of the exhibition is the work of teachers of the Imperial Academy of Arts: Ivanov, Yegorov, Shebuev, Bruni, Basin and their students (including the famous Bryullov). The paintings that inhabited the five halls of the museum have a clear narrative line: almost weightless, as if painted with air and light, the early works of academicians are gradually replaced by bleak everyday sepia, anticipating the graphics of the Wanderers of the 20th century. A separate room is dedicated to Bryullov's solar creativity, where illustrations from trips to Greece, Turkey and entertaining sketches of Italian life are collected. In the last hall, visitors will get acquainted with Fedotov's "observational" work: sketches of Moscow life with author's comments and satirical drawings about everyday life. During this period, there was a flourishing of magazine graphics and illustrations, which visitors can get acquainted with from the cartoons and caricatures of Sternberg, Benois, Stepanov and Ramazanov.

State Tretyakov Gallery, September 28, 2017 - January 14, 2018

Who is "Someone 1917", predicted by the poet Velimir Khlebnikov, and how he burst into world history and the history of Russia, will be demonstrated by the exhibition of the same name, which will open at the Tretyakov Gallery in September. According to the director of the museum, Zelfira Tregulova, this exhibition is not just an iconography of the October Revolution. "Someone 1917" is a reflection of the disputes, discussions, ideas and reactions of the authors of that time to an event that turned the world community upside down. Some artists were ready to cooperate with a new type of state and found it promising. Others hid in workshops and refused to see what was going on around them. Both those and others were waiting for catastrophic changes. And today, people from 1917, who did not yet know what would happen, can “talk” with us, people from distant 2017, with the help of art. About 120 works by Kuzma Petrov-Vodkin, Boris Kustodiev, Zinaida Serebryakova, Kazimir Malevich, Vasily Kandinsky, Alexander Rodchenko, Olga Rozanova and other artists, as well as photographs and newsreels of 1917-1918 are waiting for guests. The exhibition will be multi-layered, as will the historical moment to which it is dedicated and about which there are still disputes. You should not try to interpret the works from the point of view of some concept: as Zelfira Tregulova says, “to perceive this exhibition, you need to be non-partisan.”

Garage Museum of Contemporary Art, September 29, 2017 - February 4, 2018

When it comes to Japan, images are born before your eyes: anime, high technology, Tokyo neon signs, cherry blossoms, sushi, engravings depicting Mount Fuji ... All together - a combustible mixture of completely different and often incompatible things and phenomena. The work of the popular Japanese author Takashi Murakami is just that: bright, controversial and trendy. You can get acquainted with the variety of his works, presented for the first time in Russia, at the exhibition, which will be held at the Garage Museum this autumn. The author himself claims that his works are criticism of modern Japanese culture, in which everything is mixed up, and high art cannot be distinguished from a consumer product. A vivid example of the symbiosis of everything with everything is Murakami's collaboration with the Louis Vuitton brand: the artist replaced the brown-beige background of the bags with white, painted the ornaments with all the shades of the rainbow and added psychedelic images of flowers, mushrooms, funny teddy bears and other characters. The exposition will be open in five halls, and the exhibits, including paintings, circulation graphics, films, objects and animation, will tell about the phenomena of Japanese culture, reinterpreted by Takashi Murakami.

Even small children are familiar with the work of Ivan Bilibin. Illustrations by the artist and decorator of the early 20th century are inextricably linked with images from Russian fairy tales and are instantly recognizable. We can say that it was Bilibin who formed in the minds of the inhabitants of modern Russia the idea of \u200b\u200bwhat Baba Yaga, Ivan Tsarevich, sister Alyonushka and other textbook characters of Russian folklore look like. How he succeeded and where the inspiration of the author came from, will be told by the exhibition, which takes place in the Tsaritsyno estate from May 12 to October 29, 2017. The organizers collected 101 exhibits from the Ivangorod Museum, the Novoladozhsky Museum of Local History, the Priyutino Estate Museum and the Stationmaster's House Museum. Moreover, these are not only illustrations for Ruslan and Lyudmila, Vasilisa the Beautiful and The Tale of Tsar Saltan, familiar from childhood, but also no less magical sketches of costumes and scenery for theatrical productions - Ivan Bilibin was an outstanding set designer. The event turned out to be very atmospheric: the artist's works are presented interspersed with his personal belongings and items of Russian life - folk costumes, embroideries, icons, popular prints, old printed books and oriental miniatures.

The team from the Tretyakov Gallery proposes to mark the 870th anniversary of Moscow with a visit to an exhibition that will tell about the history of the city in the voices of its residents, guests and famous artists. The space will be divided into periods from the 15th to the 20th century. The historical chronicle of the city will be made up of ancient icons, paintings by authors up to the 20th century, memoirs and works by contemporary artists. The event promises to be atmospheric: the curators focused not on the information component, but on emotional perception, the opportunity to enter into a dialogue with the inhabitants of the city of different eras, to feel and see Moscow as they saw it. For example, with what enthusiasm the construction of the capital unfolded at the beginning of the 20th century - through the work of Pimenov. What cozy backyards surrounded the current Arbat - through Polenov's canvases. What Cathedral Square and the Kremlin looked like in the eyes of Alekseev, Vasnetsov and Kandinsky. The organizers have prepared many surprises and invite you to come to the exhibition right from the City Day festivities in order to truly celebrate the anniversary of the capital. It is also planned to prepare a mobile application and an educational website for the opening of the exposition.

The tenth anniversary biennale "Fashion and Style in Photography 2017", as always, will cover several venues in the capital, the main of which, by tradition, will be the Multimedia Art Museum. As part of the festival, which will last until May 2017, one can see, for example, iconic photographs of the chronicler of perestroika rock culture Igor Mukhin, Philippe Chancelle's reportage footage telling about the Parisian youth of the 1980s, and photographs created by Peter Lindbergh for the new Pirelli calendar.
