Exhibition " Unknown Aivazovsky" has been taking place since July 29, 2016, at the Center for the Arts. Moscow, which is in the lower tier of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior on Volkhonka. From the announcement it follows that it is part of the exhibition project "Artistic Treasures of Russia. The best of Russian collections are presented here: from icons to art nouveau painting". The project is unique. Collectors and art connoisseurs have united in order to show the world a precious collection of masterpieces previously hidden from the audience: paintings by Vasnetsov and Nesterov, Shishkin and Levitan, Repin and Aivazovsky, Bryullov, Petrov-Vodkin and many others. It sounds curious , isn't it true!?!
I have never been to this exhibition space before. And, having gone “out into the air” after the exhibition, my friends and I were drawn to Andrei Remnev and Aivazovsky. About Remnev later, but it was impossible not to mention Aivazovsky and put out a mini-report before the New Year. Therefore, this post is about a small exhibition, within the framework of a large-scale exhibition project under the motto "Masterpieces that the world has not seen."
Writing texts about Aivazovsky is not a thankful task, and therefore there will not be many words - instead of them, the works of Ivan Konstantinovich themselves will speak about him!
I must say right away - I liked everything at the whole exhibition. It seems that the exhibition spaces are small, but this is a deceptive feeling - you will see so many masterpieces that the inner personal viewer will get an unforgettable experience.
There are only 14 paintings by the master at the mini-exhibition Unknown Aivazovsky. And, indeed, an unusual impression. After all, we know many of Aivazovsky’s works from childhood, and here are unknown and never exhibited works by the maestro from private collections

I didn’t take pictures of the names of the works especially for myself, but in some places, however, all the same, I will indicate them in the form of captions under the photo - where I managed to make them out. But, most importantly, we enjoy the visual next to the "Unknown Aivazovsky" exhibition.
Let this post be a New Year's gift to my friends on LiveJournal, FB and VK...)

Artistic Treasures of Russia. The best of Russian collections”.
Exposition of the exhibition “Artistic Treasures of Russia. The Best of Russian Collections: From Icons to Art Nouveau” is truly unique. For the first time in the last hundred years, art collectors and connoisseurs have united for such a noble cause. For almost a century, masterpieces were carefully hidden from prying eyes in an attempt to protect them, as historical cataclysms followed one after another: the First World War, then the revolution, emigration, repression, World War II, unstable times ...
Alexey Savrasov. Fishermen. 1859
Al. Savrasov. "Rural view in the vicinity of Moscow at sunset" 1858
Only now the masterpieces of Russian painting, which have never been shown to a wide audience, are ready to appear before the Russian audience. Lost and regained icons, precious interior items of the Imperial House and representatives of noble noble families, unknown paintings by the most famous masters, without whose names it is impossible to imagine Russian culture, will appear before the public so that the viewer can feel the hitherto hidden wealth of Russia's artistic heritage of bygone centuries.
M. Nesterov (1862-1942), "Girls on the river bank"
Arkhip Kuindzhi. Landscape with a rainbow. 1890s
Almost no one has seen such works by Vasnetsov, Nesterov, Shishkin, Levitan, Kuindzhi, Aivazovsky, Petrov-Vodkin and other great masters - these works have never been exhibited. Without a doubt, luxurious interior items that belonged to representatives of the imperial family and brilliant noble families, carefully preserved and passed down from generation to generation, as well as precious icons, which, after almost a century of wandering, returned to their homeland to appear before the public in all their magnificence.
Ivan Shishkin. Overflow of the Kama River near Yelabuga. 1895
Many exhibits belonged to extraordinary personalities. For example, Mikhail Nesterov's painting "The Appearance of the Child Bartholomew, Part II", written specifically for Fyodor Chaliapin. Pavel Tretyakov purchased two paired canvases by Alexei Savrasov for his home collection. The battle scene of Pavel Kovalevsky "The cavalry is advancing" hung in the office of Emperor Alexander II. Table clock made of malachite with the finest miniature depicting Winter Palace were a gift from Nicholas I to his daughter, Grand Duchess Olga Nikolaevna. The carved wardrobe with secret drawers belonged to Grand Duke Vladimir Alexandrovich, the third son of Alexander II. The history of the existence of paintings, icons and objects from the exposition of the exhibition is worthy of a film adaptation, they are so interesting.

Of course, the exhibition is able to surprise both the uninitiated and the sophisticated viewer. Thanks to the non-academic approach to the display of academic exhibits, the exhibition space is not at all like a museum. The grandson of the muse of Salvador Dali, Gala, designer and architect Julien Boaretto, helped to make the space harmonious.

Innovative technologies introduced into the exposition of the exhibition have raised the culture of contemplation of art to a new level: now both lighting and sound accompaniment of paintings help the viewer not only absorb new knowledge, but also leave the exhibition shocked to the core.

Unlike traditional expositions, the exhibition is not built according to chronological or typological principles: it is based on a rich emotional palette, and each room here is a certain emotion; the succession of halls is a kind of symphony of feelings, choreographed in such a way that the heart, carefully filled with art, beats faster.
The name of the exhibition - "Artistic Treasures of Russia" - refers us to one of the largest periodicals of the past dedicated to Russian art. The magazine of the same name was issued before the revolution on the initiative of the Imperial Society for the Encouragement of Artists. The brightest representatives of the culture of that time, writers, artists and patrons of the arts united to publish the magazine. They proclaimed as their goal the revival of interest in the heritage of old domestic masters, the development artistic culture and attracting the masses to the arts.
Ivan Ivanovich Shishkin "Frosty day", 1891
After more than a hundred years, the circle of Russian collectors continued the work of art and educational associations at the turn of the 19th-20th centuries, interrupted by historical events.

Pavel Bryullov (nephew), Crimean Port.Paul was no less talented than his illustrious uncle.“Artists said about Bryullov that he was a good mathematician, graduated from the university and listened to lectures on mathematics in England. Mathematicians assured that he was a musician who graduated from the conservatory, and the musicians returned him back to the bosom of artists.His nature was already very gifted, and it seemed that it cost nothing for him to study all three specialties. And indeed, he painted pictures, showed great knowledge in mathematics and played the cello and piano.Yakov Danilovich Minchenkov, "Memories of the Wanderers".

Julius Klever "Forest King", 1921
The canvas is based on a Danish folk legend, known to the Russian-speaking public from Goethe's poem translated by Zhukovsky.Julius Klever (1850-1924) first read the ballad about the king of the elves at the age of 13, and for many years he “nurtured” this plot: “This “King” made an indelible impression on me. I was frightened, I was afraid of him for a long time, delving into the details of the legend indicated by the poet and supplemented by my imagination. She is shrouded in mist. And I loved them early years childhood. And in the very first years of consciousness, I understood and felt the truth that the character and the mysterious spirit of the mysteries - beliefs, legends - arose under the intricate conditions of moonlight, imparting bizarre forms to everything. You can feel the mysterious spirit of the mysteries in the hall of the lyrical landscape near the canvas of Julius Klever.
Volkhonka, 15. Entrance through the square XXC.
Only by making the masses interested in the art, one can contribute to the development of artistic culture... Benois A.N.
Everyone! Everyone! We inform true connoisseurs of art and people who are interested in the cultural events of Moscow: in Moscow on Volkhonka Street, 15, on the territory of the square of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior (under the stairs leading to the Temple), on November 14, 2015, the Moscow Art Center was opened.
The Arts Center is not only a new exhibition space, but also a new phenomenon in the promotion of monuments of Russian and foreign culture. This is a great example of how you can present the classics at the highest modern level. New technologies are applied very delicately and do not dominate the exposition, the main ones are the artistic values of the exhibits, of which more than 300 are presented at the exhibition. The main goal of the project is to educate adults and children in the field of art at a new cultural level using new technologies. The author and project manager Andrian Melnikov, art expert, exhibition curator, gallery owner and collector, member of the International Confederation of Antiques and Art Dealers (C.I.N.O.A) believes that this site will be a worthy addition to the art museums located on Volkhonka Street.
The design of the exhibition space is conceived in such a way that the visitor has a feeling of mystery and it seems that each next step will reveal the secret of this mysterious exhibition, where canvases come to life. famous artists and you can hear the sounds of the forest or the noise of the waves realized with the help of augmented reality technologies. Julien Boaretto, a French architect and designer, grandson of Gala, the muse of Salvador Dali, took an active part in developing the concept of the exhibition.
The first exhibition in the new exhibition space "Art Center "Moscow" was the exposition "Artistic Treasures of Russia", which is a continuation of the traditions of the legendary magazine of the same name, the first issue of which was published in 1902 under the editorship of Alexander Nikolaevich Benois. And today's project is a continuation of these traditions, the main task of which is - "the systematic promotion of the monuments of Russian culture, most of which at that time were little known. In a report outlining the program of the journal, Benois proves that only by getting the art of the masses interested can one contribute to the development of artistic culture. This task is carried out by museums.
The new project created by Andrian Melnikov not only fulfills this task, but also raises it to a new modern level, using all the innovative developments in the field of multimedia and new technologies available today. The exposition of the exhibition presents works by famous masters little known to the general public: Bakst L. S., Bryullov K. P., Vasnetsov V. M., Vereshchagin V. V., Baron Klodt von Jurgensburg, Kuindzhi A. I., Savrasova A. K. .and many others. In addition, the canvases of the paintings are not protected by glass, which certainly improves the perception of the canvases by the viewer, makes them deeper and more realistic, and the individual lighting of the painting creates the feeling that you are one on one with the artist, you better understand the concept of his painting. Saturation with images of a bygone century is subtly connected by modern technologies with today: it is the revival of paintings with the help of modern gadgets, and the opportunity to hear the noise or feel the smells of the sea or forest. Thanks to the elegant, unobtrusive use of multimedia technologies, the exhibition will be of interest to all generations, including young people who cannot imagine their lives without gadgets and smartphones. There are paintings by artists for the most sophisticated connoisseurs of painting and for the inexperienced viewer.
The exhibition consists of several halls: "Nature of the Crimea"; three halls of Iconography, where icons of the great masters of the late 19th century and early 20th century are presented in amazingly beautiful settings; Treasury with items belonging to the royal family; "Master of Sun and Light Ivan Schultze"; "Battle scenes" allowing you to assess the scale of what is happening historical events; Ivan Aivazovsky Hall; Hall of secular painting including paintings by Karl Bryullov, Alexei Kharlamov, Fyodor Matveev, Boris Kustodiev, Vasily Perov, Ilya Repin - artists in demand in aristocratic circles at the turn of the 19th - 20th centuries; The theater hall, which exhibits paintings by Mikhail Nesterov, Henryk Semiradsky, Vasily Vereshchagin, Kuzma Petrov-Vodkin and others. There is a theater stage here, which will host all kinds of art actions related to the plots of the paintings presented at the exhibition: opera, ballet, theater using modern technologies that are not yet available in other museums; Hall "Traditions and Faith" here are paintings with subjects on the theme of national history, portraits of the royal and imperial families, sketches for the paintings of temples, landscapes with churches. The central place is occupied by Grigory Semyonovich Sedov's canvas "The Conversion of Grand Duke Vladimir to Christianity" (1866) with icons with scenes of the Last Judgment on both sides of the canvas. The picture is voiced; Hall of the Wanderers - canvases of the Association of Traveling Art Exhibitions: these are Mikhail Nesterov, Alexei Bogolyubov, Ilya Repin, Alexei Savrasov, Alexander Kiselev, Vladimir Makovsky; Hall of the lyrical landscape, glorifying the nature of Russia by artists: Ivan Shishkin, Isaac Levitan, Fyodor Vasiliev, Mikhail Klodt, Arkhip Kuindzhi and other artists. It should be noted that all the canvases presented at the exhibition are little known to the general public, since they have not been shown before and are the property of Russian collectors. https://lustinfo.ch
Of course, the organizers have done the hardest work, but the result exceeds all expectations! Anyone who loves painting and history should visit the Artistic Treasures of Russia exhibition. And if you are still thinking about how to spend your weekend, dedicate one day to visiting the Moscow Arts Center, believe me, you will not regret it. In our opinion, the exhibition is perfect for visiting with the whole family and will be of interest to the younger generation, as it is equipped with modern technologies that will help modern children better understand and accept the art of painting.
The feeling of viewing the exposition is like a breath of fresh air in the realities of modern reality - calmness, intoxication with contemplation, fullness, a feeling of being part of a Great and Beautiful Country, the desire to preserve the fragile heritage of the country, both cultural and natural. The viewer leaves the halls of the center, passing through the same enfilade along which he walked at the beginning of his journey, but now he is a person full of spiritual energy.
We hope you will have a desire to come to the exhibition again and again.
