The exhibition is dedicated to the 80th
anniversary of Gennady Myznikov - one of the most prominent artists of Moscow, member-correspondent of Russian Academy
of arts and owner of the "People's Artist of the Russian Federation" honorary
title. The exhibition brings together portraits, still lifes and narrative
scenes, performed by the painter from 1960-s to 2010-s. Works by Gennady
Myznikov, representative of the "Sixtiers" generation, are marked by the
interest to the aesthetics of Russian folklore and provincial life, and, on the
other hand - to the traditions of Western European classic art, mainly to the
early Renaissance. The organic mixture of artistic traditions is reflected in
the nature of the emphasized plastic rendering of monumental historical and
religious subjects or portraits. The author reveals the greatness of man and
nature in a solemn and festive way, where admiration of the colorful diversity
of the world is tinted with the subtle sense of humor, and the most mundane subjects,
by contrast, show profound spiritual content.
The exhibition is
organized with the support of the State Museum and Exhibition Centre ROSIZO;
Institute of Russian realistic art; the Luxembourg-Russia Art Partnership
