Soviet avant-garde art from Uzbekistan exhibited in Moscow
(21 Apr 2017) LEADIN
A rare exhibition of Soviet avant-garde art from Uzbekistan has gone on display in Moscow.
The show contains many works collected by 1950s painter Igor Savitsky.
STORYLINE
A group of art fans take in Alexander Volkov's 'Brigade entering the field'.
It's one of 200 paintings from the Savitsky State Art Museum of Karakalpakstan to have gone on display at the Pushkin Museum in Moscow.
This rare travelling exhibit is from a gallery widely regarded as having one of the world's best Soviet avant-garde art.
Vladimir Lysenko's painted bull stares at the viewer with flat, black eyes, one of his horns festooned in a mosaic of bright rectangles, the tip of his tail stretched toward a glowing orange globe that may be the sun.
What he intended with this classic painting of the Soviet avant-garde is unknown; it is from an era when unconventional art was literally arresting. Lysenko was arrested in 1935 and what happened to him afterwards is unclear.
Over the years, the painting has become one of the most renowned images of the artistic ferment that bubbled under the strictures of insipid Soviet social realism.
But until recently, anyone who wanted to see it had to travel to an isolated city in Uzbekistan's desert.
The show also draws attention to the history of the museum, which is as remarkable as the works it holds.
In this museum we have gathered some truly unique collections of things that, first of all, tell the story of Turkistan avant-garde. It is a very special field of study, says Director of The Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts, Marina Loshak.
In the 1950s, painter Igor Savitsky got work in an archaeological expedition in Uzbekistan.
He became fascinated by the intricate weavings and elegant pottery of the local Karakalpak ethnic group and collected extensively. Local officials, flattered by his interest, helped him establish a museum in the city of Nukus.
Savitsky was also concerned about the fate of the works of the Soviet Union's more adventurous artists.
In the early 20th century, Russia had been a hotbed of bold art experimentations: Suprematism, Constructivism and visions too idiosyncratic to fit into any category.
But by the early 1930s, authorities decreed that art must express Soviet ideals and be comprehensible to the average worker.
Bold colours, dancing polygons and strange faces disappeared from the public view, replaced by muscular construction workers and children devotedly presenting bouquets to Josef Stalin.
Savitsky began collecting as much of the unofficial art as he could, reportedly filling train sleeping compartments with paintings to bring them to Nukus, some 2000 kilometres (1200 miles) from Moscow.
Savitsky has been praised as a patron of the Nukus art sanctuary and unknown artists of the region.
Many of the works likely would have been destroyed or become irreparably deteriorated if he had not been able to spirit them to the city far away from the central government's attention.
He collected works without taking into consideration whether this was a well-known name or not well-known. He collected art with an orientation on the art itself, says curator Irina Kim.
Bazarbai Serekeyev is an Uzbek artist whose works was spotted by Savitsky in the 70s:
Savitsky looked at my work and asked Did you paint this yourself?, I said yes. After that he bought three of my paintings and told me that I should paint more. He gave me some recommendations. His words inspired me and I started painting more, he says.
Many of the works in the show had to be lovingly restored before they were displayed.
The exhibition in Moscow runs April 21 until 10 May 2017.

BETTINA WERNER: The CHAKRA Art Collection and her spiritual journey at the Salt Mine, Margherita di Savoia, in Italy
Bettina Werner, The Queen of Salt is an internationally critically acclaimed artist, who exclusively utilizes SALT as an artistic medium to create her innovative artworks.
Born in Milan, Italy in 1965, she is now residing in The Financial District of New York City, where she is contributing to a new beginning with the cathartic power of her one -of -a- kind salt artworks. She is a driving force in Lower Manhattan with her radiant, unique artwork. Her loft faces the New York Stock Exchange, in the newly renovated Philippe Starck Building.
The Title Queen of Salt refers to her pioneering and revolutionary use of salt in art creating paintings, sculptures and installations with her invention of textured colorized salt technique, developed in the early 1980's.
While studying at the prestigious Brera Academy of Fine Art in Milan and discovering salt to be her own treasure, Bettina Werner began creating combinations of textures and colors with salt crystals.
She became intrigued by the history of salt starting in ancient times, its wonderful texture, its transparency, its radiance, its healing power, its important value and use as currency. She was fascinated by its philosophic meaning, its power in the immense force of the sea and in the chemistry of our human bodies.
Bettina Werner creates a majesty with crystals of salt making it a distinguished unique signature of artistic language.
Her success in revering salt in vibrant colors led Bettina Werner to the U.S. in 1989. One year later she started showing her artwork with Marisa Del Re Gallery in the Fuller Building, located on 57th Street and Madison Avenue in Manhattan.
She celebrated her 25th anniversary of her creative Art journey, with a Retrospective at 7 WORLD TRADE CENTER in New York City. View the spectacular slideshow of the Art Exhibition here:

Three years Audiobook by Anton Chekhov | Audiobook with subtitles
Laptev, the rich but unattractive scion of a merchant, renounces his independent-minded, intelligent, devoted, but equally unattractive mistress Polina in order to marry the beautiful young gold-digger Yulia. Their life together quickly deteriorates into a loveless agony, Laptev seeking some sort of meaning in his life while Yulia whiles away her youth with the sparkling young Moscow social scene. The compelling question of the story is whether or not Laptev and Yulia can redeem something of lasting value from what seems to be a hopelessly empty relationship. Here Chekhov again explores the subtle dilemmas of modern conventional marriage and its effects, both positive and negative, on the hapless humans caught up in it. (summary by Expatriate)
Genre(s): Literary Fiction
Three Years
Anton CHEKHOV , translated by Constance GARNETT
