Anniversary exhibition of Valentin Serov
An exhibition dedicated to the 150th
anniversary of the birth of Valentin Serov opened
in the Russian Museum in Saint Petersburg.
More than two hundred and fifty paintings, graphics
and sculptures selected for the exhibit named “Serov, other
than a portrait painter”, make the audience
take a fresh look at the artist’s creative
development. The exhibition is hosted under the auspices
of UNIDENT group
of companies and “U-Art: You and Art”
fund.
The work on the exhibit
has been being conducted for a year and a half.
It united the collections of the Russian Museum,
the Tretyakov Gallery and private collections. An unusual
concept of the exhibit makes the
audiencebe wide-eyed primarily: Serov is famous
for his portraits but his creative
work goes far beyond the scope of this genre.
Here the maestro is presented as a history painter, genre
painter, landscapist and author of works which antedated
the discoveries
of Russian Avant-garde to a large
extent.
Within
the framework of a large-scale jubilee
exhibition fine art experts wanted to tell something
new about the artist. Therefore, the exhibit includes
his unrenowned works. The gallery is richly stored with drawings
and caricatures; there is a separate hall with naked
model paintings. The spectators can familiarize themselves
for the first time with the piece named “Christ
walking on water” painted by Valentin Serov and Konstantin
Korovin for the parish church of the Kostroma manufacture
of P.M. Tretyakov and V.D. Konshin.
The exhibit takes place in the Benois
Wing and will be opened until the eighth of June.

Edin Karamazov, Bosnian musician, came to one of the Vivacello festival concerts. Seemingly, there is nothing unusual in this sentence – musicians of world renown tend to give concerts in various countries of the world. But as it turned out, this story is full of surprises.

From November 11 to 24, 2014 the Sixth international festival Vivacello took place. Six concerts, six halls and evenings widely different in the mood and atmosphere. The festival gathered world-renowned musicians, among which, certainly, not everybody is a cellist.
