The Russian Museum of Modern History opened the “Unbreakable Unity” exhibition, coinciding with the 100th anniversary of the USSR. About informs mk.ru
At the exhibition, Konstantin Khudyakov, head of the Creative Union of Artists of Russia (TSHR) and head of the exhibition project, complained that he had to remove several works at the request of the authorities, whom he did not name. “They removed the works of Oscar Rabin, Sergei Simakov and me – ‘Jaws of Stalin’. Shame!” she complained.
According to Khudyakov, Sergei Simakov’s work “The Judgment of Paris” did not suit critics for aesthetic reasons. “Apparently they took it off because there are two naked women and they don’t have a very good figure,” he joked.
“Jaws of Stalin” is a digital work of the artist, depicting the dentures of the Soviet General Secretary, whom Khudyakov saw while working as the chief artist of the Lenin Museum. By placing them in a crystal Faberge egg, the artist made a reference to the story of Koshchei the Immortal.
The large-scale project for the 100th anniversary of the USSR is also dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the emergence of creative unions, the successors of which are the associations of modern artists – the Moscow Union of Artists and the Union of Artists of Russia. Organized chronologically, the exhibition includes more than 100 works, most of them from the collections of the Russian Museum of Contemporary History.
