The catalogue is published on the base of the materials of the exhibition that took place in the State Hermitage in St. Petersburg, and the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow. It is no exagerration to say that never and nowhere before anybody had tried to demonstrate the ideas of the Great French as interpreted by Russian artists in such a graphic way. Some works of the painters of the Russian Avant-Garde, included in the exhibition, are known for the Russian public and constitute the gold fund of the national art, while others were kept in the museum funds and practically had not been even exhibited. The masterpieces of Ce zanne demonstrate why he and not any other painter captured thoughts of the artists of the Russian and European Avant-Garde. |
