Poster: Exhibitions

As soon as the season began, exhibitions began to pour in. And although here quantity cannot develop into quality, it gives rise to hopes that a vigorous autumn start is a promise of future artistic impressions.

For those who are ready to study the history of Russian contemporary art, we invite you to visit the exhibition “Serials” , organized by the State Center for Contemporary Art. The series since the time of Andy Warhol is one of the main strategies of our contemporary art. Clever curators boringly showed the best of whom we are proud: Kabakov, Chuikov, Makarevich, Chahal, Timur Novikov. Informative.

State Central Exhibition Hall "Manege", from August 25 to September 17.

The Moscow Arts Center has opened another exhibition-commentary “Three Fires” . There is nothing mystical about it, and the name was given by the three oil torches on the coat of arms of Baku. Various works, but some good ones, fell under the Baku theme. Useful for those who have lived in Baku and, therefore, have a personal interest in this city. For everyone else - optional.

Moscow Arts Center on Neglinnaya, from August 30 to September 11.

The lot of those who love only old art is to review what they have seen, because Western museums rarely bring their treasures to us these days. True, Pushkinsky is trying. “The Age of Rembrandt” is an exhibition showing not so much the great Dutchman as the works of his less brilliant colleagues and fellow countrymen, pulled out from storage.

Pushkin Museum im. A.S. Pushkin, from August 20.

For people who love art that is simply pleasant, gentle and Russian, albeit not at all great - an exhibition of a Russian portrait from the Sheremetev family collection "Russian court portrait of the 18th century . From Peter the Great to Paul I" . It is especially useful for young teenagers who don’t know Russian autocrats in the face.

Gallery "Nashchokin's House", from September 6.

About the numerous photo exhibitions that have proliferated in the capital as quickly as honey mushrooms on a stump, I can say simply: it’s easy to make a photo exhibition, but it’s difficult to make it interesting to watch. I strongly recommend one. "Arkady Shaikhet" in the Department of Personal Collections of the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts. Pushkin. Firstly, he is a classic and an excellent photographer. Secondly, there are no new prints at the exhibition; all are original, old, muted by time. The spectacle is highly artistic.
