The Energy of Colour: Archetypes of the Avant-garde


Composition of the exhibition: Works from the collections of the State Tretyakov Gallery, Primorye State Picture Gallery and Far Eastern Art Museum
Exhibition curator: Irina Kochergina
The exhibition offers a fresh perspective on the Russian avant-garde by juxtaposing the art of early 20th-century artists with the popular theory of archetypes. Archetypes are structures in the collective unconscious that reside deep within our psyches. They shape a person's values, behavioural patterns, and perception of the world. The concept of archetypes has been extensively explored throughout the past century and continues to be in demand today. While it has been discussed numerous times in the context of art in literature, this exhibition marks its inaugural presentation within the realm of Russian avant-garde.
The most significant distinction between the avant-garde and the art of previous epochs is the complete freedom of creative self-expression. This is why the works of avant-garde artists differ so greatly from each other, just as the artists themselves vary in their characters and temperaments.
The primary expressive tool of avant-garde painting is colour. At the beginning of the 20th century, artists rediscovered the possibilities of colour's impact on the viewer. Observations of how artists harness the energy of colour and how colour interacts with the subject aid in determining its leading archetype.
Examining art through the lens of archetypes offers an opportunity to delve into the inner world of the artist at a qualitatively new level. It enables us to comprehend the psychological patterns that drove the master, why they created such art, and what their motivation was. This, in turn, leads to a deeper understanding of their work. Additionally, attentive viewers may find themselves identifying with one of the 12 archetypes.
The project includes works by Kazimir Malevich, Wassily Kandinsky, Alexander Rodchenko, Natalia Goncharova, Mikhail Larionov, Marc Chagall and other outstanding masters of the avant-garde.

Access with participant badge. The badge must be presented at the entrance to the museum.

The Energy of Colour. Archetypes of the Avant-garde Exhibition


A large-scale exhibition devoted to the art of avant-garde of the early 20th century is presented for the first time in the Far East of Russia. It features more than 50 works from the collections of the State Tretyakov Gallery, Primorye State Picture Gallery, and Far Eastern Art Museum (Khabarovsk).
The exhibition offers to look through the prism of archetypes at one of the bright and multifaceted phenomena in the history of art – the avant-garde of the early 20th century. The avant-garde in the visual arts was an experiment with concept, colour, and form. Among the names presented at the exhibition are the most famous Russian artists: Natalia Goncharova, Wassily Kandinsky, Pyotr Konchalovsky, Pavel Kuznetsov, Mikhail Larionov, Aristarkh Lentulov, Kazimir Malevich, Pavel Filonov, Marc Chagall, and others. Viewers will be able to explore 12 archetypes: the Innocent, the Nice Guy, the Warrior, the Caregiver, the Seeker, the Rebel, the Aesthete, the Creator, the Ruler, the Magician, the Sage, and the Jester and compare them to the work of avant-garde artists. Looking at the art through the prism of archetypes gives viewers the opportunity to penetrate into the inner world of the artist at a qualitatively new level, to understand what psychological features of personality moved the master, why they created such art, what was their motivation, and thus come to a deeper understanding of their work. Besides, it will be interesting to find your own one among the twelve archetypes.

China in the Work of Russian Artists Abroad. From the Collection of Sergey and Irina Belyayev


For the first time in Vladivostok, 60 works by 23 artists of the Eastern branch of the Russian diaspora will be on display. These are well-known artists educated in Russia and young artists who worked in private studios in Harbin and Shanghai belonging to several generations of masters of fine arts. A significant milestone in the Russian presence in China in the 1920s and 1930s was the exodus of emigrants at the end of the Civil War in Russia, which included many representatives of the artistic intelligentsia. In the many cities to which they dispersed, there were already large colonies of Russian citizens: in Harbin, Qingdao, Mukden (Shenyang), Dalniy (Dalian), Tientsin and, of course, Shanghai – which had large communities of foreigners where many former Russian citizens sought refuge. The creative Russian intelligentsia in China included many well-known artists who had been professionally educated in St. Petersburg, Moscow and Kazan. Once in China, they actively continued their creative work, engaging in painting, sculpture, architecture and the organization of exhibitions, creating educational art studios and schools, painting Orthodox churches and the interiors of houses, engaging in art photography, scenography, the publication of art magazines, newspapers and books on art.
The Russian diaspora’s heritage on display at the exhibition will provide an excellent basis for the continued development of mutual artistic understanding between the two great civilizations of Russia and China, and for the strengthening of mutual spiritual influence between our countries’ creative communities.
The exhibition will be held by the Heritage Foundation of the Russian Abroad with the support of VEB.RF.

"The Artist Speaks"


A film about Nikolai Polissky from the series "The Artist Speaks". In this series of documentaries, contemporary artists who are shaping the image of Russian culture today discuss their work, their close relationships, and key life events. They also share their views on art, showcase their studios, and highlight significant places in Moscow and other cities around the world. These stories intersect in many ways, forming a portrait of the era and the history of the emergence of socialist art, Moscow conceptualism, and the circle of non-conformist artists. Nikolai Polissky's work is closely associated with the emergence of a new trend in Russian art known as Land Art. In the 2000s, after relocating to the village of Nikola-Lenivets, the artist explored the space around him, initially through photography and later by creating large-scale installations using readily available natural materials such as snow, hay, or wood. Over time, the artist's installations began to appear in cities across Russia, France, Luxembourg, Taiwan, and Japan. The Kaluga Region, where Nikola-Lenivets is situated, regularly hosts the Archstoyanie festival, an initiative spearheaded by Polissky. His recent work has seen the incorporation of more sculptural elements, including the creation of multi-figure groups and the restoration of his older works. This shift can be seen as a departure from classical Land Art, which, according to American artists of the 1960s, was expected to originate from nature and naturally return to it.

Аbout Eric Bulatov from the series "The Artist Speaks"


In this series of documentaries, contemporary artists who are shaping the image of Russian culture today discuss their work, their close relationships, and key life events. They also share their views on art, showcase their studios, and highlight significant places in Moscow and other cities around the world. These stories intersect in many ways, forming a portrait of the era and the history of the emergence of socialist art, Moscow conceptualism, and the circle of non-conformist artists. Eric Bulatov stands as one of the most significant artists of the second half of the twentieth century. His juxtaposition of words and images, blending imagery borrowed from the ideologized space of Soviet reality with lyrical landscapes within a single canvas, allowed critics and art historians to classify Bulatov among the founders of Socialist Art and the most prominent figures of Moscow Conceptualism. However, the theoretical and practical challenges addressed by Eric Bulatov extend beyond the confines of Socialist Art, which is closely associated with irony concerning Soviet reality, showcasing the artist's commitment to timeless values. According to Bulatov, painting represents a universal artistic model that bridges the realms of art and society.

The Energy of Colour: Archetypes of the Avant-garde


Composition of the exhibition: Works from the collections of the State Tretyakov Gallery, Primorye State Picture Gallery and Far Eastern Art Museum
Exhibition curator: Irina Kochergina
The exhibition offers a fresh perspective on the Russian avant-garde by juxtaposing the art of early 20th-century artists with the popular theory of archetypes. Archetypes are structures in the collective unconscious that reside deep within our psyches. They shape a person's values, behavioural patterns, and perception of the world. The concept of archetypes has been extensively explored throughout the past century and continues to be in demand today. While it has been discussed numerous times in the context of art in literature, this exhibition marks its inaugural presentation within the realm of Russian avant-garde.
The most significant distinction between the avant-garde and the art of previous epochs is the complete freedom of creative self-expression. This is why the works of avant-garde artists differ so greatly from each other, just as the artists themselves vary in their characters and temperaments.
The primary expressive tool of avant-garde painting is colour. At the beginning of the 20th century, artists rediscovered the possibilities of colour's impact on the viewer. Observations of how artists harness the energy of colour and how colour interacts with the subject aid in determining its leading archetype.
Examining art through the lens of archetypes offers an opportunity to delve into the inner world of the artist at a qualitatively new level. It enables us to comprehend the psychological patterns that drove the master, why they created such art, and what their motivation was. This, in turn, leads to a deeper understanding of their work. Additionally, attentive viewers may find themselves identifying with one of the 12 archetypes.
The project includes works by Kazimir Malevich, Wassily Kandinsky, Alexander Rodchenko, Natalia Goncharova, Mikhail Larionov, Marc Chagall and other outstanding masters of the avant-garde.

Conquerors of the Seas and Gifts of the Oceans. Masterpieces from the Collection of the Moscow Kremlin Museums


The tradition of annual exhibitions of the Moscow Kremlin Museums at the venue of the Vladimir K. Arseniev Museum of Far East History began in 2018. Each new project opens to visitors during the EEF and becomes the titular cultural event of the Forum.
This year, the exhibition is dedicated to the maritime theme, closely tied to Vladivostok. More than 150 priceless exhibits by Russian, European, and Oriental masters from the 16th to the 21st centuries will narrate important events in the history of Russian navigation and the valour of the Russian fleet. Among the masterpieces from the collection of Russia's primary treasury is a work by the jewellery workshop of Carl Fabergé – the Easter egg "Memory of Azov," which was created to commemorate Tsesarevich Nicholas Alexandrovich's voyage to the East.

China in the Work of Russian Artists Abroad. From the Collection of Sergey and Irina Belyayev


For the first time in Vladivostok, 60 works by 23 artists of the Eastern branch of the Russian diaspora will be on display. These are well-known artists educated in Russia and young artists who worked in private studios in Harbin and Shanghai belonging to several generations of masters of fine arts. A significant milestone in the Russian presence in China in the 1920s and 1930s was the exodus of emigrants at the end of the Civil War in Russia, which included many representatives of the artistic intelligentsia. In the many cities to which they dispersed, there were already large colonies of Russian citizens: in Harbin, Qingdao, Mukden (Shenyang), Dalniy (Dalian), Tientsin and, of course, Shanghai – which had large communities of foreigners where many former Russian citizens sought refuge. The creative Russian intelligentsia in China included many well-known artists who had been professionally educated in St. Petersburg, Moscow and Kazan. Once in China, they actively continued their creative work, engaging in painting, sculpture, architecture and the organization of exhibitions, creating educational art studios and schools, painting Orthodox churches and the interiors of houses, engaging in art photography, scenography, the publication of art magazines, newspapers and books on art.
The Russian diaspora’s heritage on display at the exhibition will provide an excellent basis for the continued development of mutual artistic understanding between the two great civilizations of Russia and China, and for the strengthening of mutual spiritual influence between our countries’ creative communities.
The exhibition will be held by the Heritage Foundation of the Russian Abroad with the support of VEB.RF.

The Energy of Colour. Archetypes of the Avant-garde Exhibition


A large-scale exhibition devoted to the art of avant-garde of the early 20th century is presented for the first time in the Far East of Russia. It features more than 50 works from the collections of the State Tretyakov Gallery, Primorye State Picture Gallery, and Far Eastern Art Museum (Khabarovsk).
The exhibition offers to look through the prism of archetypes at one of the bright and multifaceted phenomena in the history of art – the avant-garde of the early 20th century. The avant-garde in the visual arts was an experiment with concept, colour, and form. Among the names presented at the exhibition are the most famous Russian artists: Natalia Goncharova, Wassily Kandinsky, Pyotr Konchalovsky, Pavel Kuznetsov, Mikhail Larionov, Aristarkh Lentulov, Kazimir Malevich, Pavel Filonov, Marc Chagall, and others. Viewers will be able to explore 12 archetypes: the Innocent, the Nice Guy, the Warrior, the Caregiver, the Seeker, the Rebel, the Aesthete, the Creator, the Ruler, the Magician, the Sage, and the Jester and compare them to the work of avant-garde artists. Looking at the art through the prism of archetypes gives viewers the opportunity to penetrate into the inner world of the artist at a qualitatively new level, to understand what psychological features of personality moved the master, why they created such art, what was their motivation, and thus come to a deeper understanding of their work. Besides, it will be interesting to find your own one among the twelve archetypes.
FESCO is the general partner of the project.

Participants will have a creative meeting with the artist and a unique opportunity to observe the process of creating a canvas from a blank sheet of paper to the finished work. Still life is a marvellous world of objects, each living by its own special laws. When creating a still life, the artist emphasizes familiar objects, transforming them into signs and symbols. Visitors to the master class will explore a boundless world of harmony in colour, form, and composition. Margarita Dzhura will discuss the key principles of working with colour spots, drawing inspiration from the extraordinary nature of the Far East.
