Vasiliy Schukhaev Exhibition Opening
The Moscow Museum of Modern Arts presents a large-scale retrospective of a master of drawing and painting Vasiliy Ivanovich Schukhaev. UNIDENT and a cultural charity fund U-Art: Art and You are strategic partners of the exhibition.
The exhibition held in the Museum’s main venue is meant to display Shukhaev’s lifework in all the varieties and genres of his art. Aside from containing some well-known artworks from the major museums’ collections, the exhibition also includes a number of paintings, drawings, theatre productions sketches and book illustrations which have never been exhibited to date.
The Vasili Shukhaev exhibition is the first part of a large research project conducted by the MMOMA. The second part will be embodied as a symposium on various aspects of life and work of the artist.
Vasili Shukhaev lived a long, complex, and eventful life that fully reflects all the facets of the drama befallen the Russian artistic intelligentsia in the 20th century. Historical events, politics, plus certain peculiarities of the art scene of the pre- and post-revolution Russia and that of Paris between the two world wars — all the above combined in the artist’s personal life and his career alike.
Vasili Shukhaev was born in Moscow in 1887. He studied at Stroganov College in Moscow and at the Imperial Academy of Arts in St. Petersburg, from whence he set off to Italy on a two-year pensionnaire trip to perfect himself in painting. He began teaching in Petrograd, and then continued to do so in Paris years ago. He also taught in Leningrad and Tbilisi. In 1920, Shukhaev immigrated to Finland. Afterwards, he moved to France, where the artist spent 14 years. Having returned to his motherland, the artist spent a mere two years working in there — though it was a happy and productive stint for him — before he got arrested in 1937 for committing «crimes» stipulated in the notorious Article 58 (On the responsibility for counter-revolutionary activities) of the Soviet Criminal Code. As a result, Shukhaev was exiled to the Kolyma region. Since 1947, he lived and worked in Georgia for the following twenty-five years, spending his summertime in the village of Tsikhisdjvari, and later at his friends’ dacha in Nikolina Gora, Moscow region.
Thematically and chronologically, a full-fledged display of Shukhaev’s oeuvre spanning nearly seven decades of the 20th century, has been a mission impossible until recently. The artist’s works are quite scattered all over the world, they pop up occasionally in a variety of exhibitions, auctions and publications. At long last, the above will be put on view along with the works provided by the state-controlled and private collections located in Russia, Georgia, Kazakhstan and other countries.
In view of the 100th anniversary of World War I, special attention will be paid to the portraits of the Russian Army officers (1916) — the artist’s sketches for his major yet unfinished painting The Regiment in the Field (The Russian Museum). It is for the first time that the previously unknown Russian servicemen will retrieve their names and biographical data.
