Russian art
 

These are really exciting to see, S.B.!
Thank you for sharing the link. I recognize one or two, but the others are unfamiliar. Is there any way you could translate the names of the artists?

I ditto Jean. I would love to know more of some of these artists.

Thanks for the post.

What are these paintings in common in term of form?

World Museums Congratulate the Tretyakov Gallery
"Whistler and Russia"
This project is implemented with the support of the British Council.
For the first time ever, this exhibition traces the influence of the famous Anglo-American artist James Abbott McNeill Whistler (1834-1903) on Russian art. It will highlight the fact that Whistler's rise to fame began in St. Petersburg, where the artist spent six years (1843-1849). Declaring Russia to be the cradle of his talent, Whistler pointed out the Russian sources of his art. Russian artistic circles began to take an interest in Whistler's contradictory and even provocative personality from the 1890s on. Thanks to Serge Diaghilev's efforts, Whistler's works were exhibited in 1898 and 1899 in St. Petersburg. Whistler's artistic and literary work had a lot of influence in Russia. This exhibition presents Whistler's paintings alongside the works of K. Bryullov and Russian painters of the 1840s as well as I. Repin, V. Polenov, and K. Korovin. It reveals the striking and fruitful interaction between the artist and theoretician Whistler, who became the leader of the international aestheticist movement in the second half of the 19th and early 20th centuries, and the artists of the "World of Art"

Hi SB,
It is a funny painting but I don't like the way it is painted.
