The Moscow Museum opened an exhibition about the Crimea through the eyes of artists Kuzma Petrov-Vodkin and Marina Lomakina. It has been reported TASS.
The curator of the exhibition, Tatiana Nechaeva, recalled that Petrov-Vodkin stood at the origins of the formation of art education in the country after the revolution and was one of the most talented students of the Crimean native Lomakina. “For many, I think this exhibition will be a new discovery of Petrov-Vodkin, because most of the works came to us from regions that are not accessible to everyone – we have a vast country. The Red Horse can be seen in the Tretyakov Gallery, and here you will see works that I hope will surprise you,” he said.
In the first part of the exhibition, there were portraits, landscapes, sketches of artists from different years, and in the second, paintings about the Crimea. Thus, Petrov-Vodkin’s 1927 painting “Earthquake in Crimea” was brought here from the Russian Museum. The artist, who was a guest in the Crimea with Maximilian Voloshin, witnessed the disaster.
The exhibition will continue until 13 June.
