The Artists |
|
|
Although Socialist Realism suppressed the influences of contemporary artistic movements within itself, Socialist Realism fostered its own unique diversity. Russian artists, like the masters before them, expressed themselves not by evolving to meet artistic movements of their time, but by becoming the absolute best within their specific painting genres.Russian Realism painting, based in part on the studied principles of French Impressionism, developed and honed plein-air academic painting ideals under a closed society for generations; it is now becoming discovered and lauded by the Western world. Achieving excellence through complete artistic integrity and ultimate devotion to their "Immortal Beloved"—the art of painting—artists of Moscow's School of Russian Realism exhibit distinct perception of color and outstanding color relationships that trademark their pedigree of traditional Russian painting. The works in this collection represent the paintings the artists created from their hearts, in their free time. At these moments, they painted for themselves, to find the truth and beauty in their subjects; in turn, they found their greatness. These are painter's paintings. Russian Realism art has created a lasting legacy and a universal connection beyond its origins and is considered to be one of the most important realism movements of the 20th century.
"ARTISTS' ARTISTS": OUR ANNUAL RUSSIAN REALISM WEEKEND NOVEMBER 12TH & 13TH, 2016:
Russian Realism painters such as Nikita Fedosov, Yuri Kugach, and Vjachaslav Zabelin have become what is known as "artists' artists." The work of these painters is admired by artists and contemporaries, who recognize the expertise and magic created in these works affectionately referred to as "painters' paintings." Join James Yarosh and show co-host John Wurdeman for this one weekend traveling show exhibit scheduled for our New York/ New Jersey and out-of-state collectors. All are welcome. Catalogs will be available upon request.

QUOTE– “Art Is a Great Means”
“[Art] is going to deepen our awareness of the things that matter. It’s going to make us— to refer to what we said earlier—more a person of integrity, more true to my own essence, then I would have been without this encounter. It’s like meeting a great genius, just talking, even being in the presence of such a person. You feel enriched, enlightened; you’re more than you were before you had that encounter. Well, that’s what paintings are offering us: encounters; encounters with greatness.”
