Together with the works of K. Korovin, V. Saryan, N. Sapunov there are presented also the canvases by A. Gerasimov, the well-known representative of the official way in the Soviet art and the still-lifes by such outstanding artists as V. Tatlin, A. Osmerkin, E. Moiseenko, Z. Arshakuni, N. Nesterova. In the most part of the works is used the traditional form of the "bouquet still-life", where painter organizes the propounding according to the appointed compositional, picturesque or semantic programme. Setting the pure picturesque tasks or finding in the image of flowers the hidden logic of world outlook, painters return us the beauty and harmony that we are often lacking in our everyday life.
