from 2 to 6 December 2009 in CEH "Manege" will be held XIV Moscow Art Fair "Art Manege 2009". At the 5 000 square meters will house more than 80 Russian and foreign galleries. They will present the entire collections and individual works of what is called modern art or the art of the XX - XXI centuries.

Anatoly Zverev , Vera Ermolaeva , Tatyana Nazarenko , Vladimir Nemukhin , Valentin Okorokov , Oskar Rabin , Leonard Turzhansky , Victor Ufimtsev , Alexander Kharitonov , Vladimir Yakovlev , as well as Georges Braque, Salvador Dali Rene Magritte, Henri Matisse, Andy Warhol - works of many represented at the Fair sponsors a long time and no doubt went to the section of antiques and ... the interests of large investors. At Art Manege, you can always replenish its collection of works by the eminent author, or start a collection with a good modern works of the artist.

«Traditions of Russian art of the early XX century gave a strong rise of a new generation of picturesque - large and small names, creating a culture of the new Russian plastic picturesque. Unfortunately, she was in the position of the hero of the second plan, rejecting the actual art, similar to its intransigence on the art of the era of the dictatorship of the proletariat. For the organizers of Art Manege important to show the roots of the current plastic arts, who takes its roots in the traditions and Russian realism, and the Russian avant-garde ", - considers fair curator Irina Meleshkevich.

from realism to vanguard

The exhibition includes a special project of the Club collectors of fine art - paintings of the first third of the twentieth century of the eight private meetings (curator - Valery Dudakov). There is a well-known artists: Leonard Turzhansky, Nicholas Dosekin , Michael Matyushin . But also included in the exposure and little known to the public the names.

Star Art Society "Circle» Alexander Rusakov . The members of the society, graduates of the Leningrad VHUTEINa mid-1920's, insisted on a return to figurative painting, but were taken in a vise, on the one hand, non-objective art, but on the other - dehumanize "Soviet canon».

Eva Levina-ROSENGOLTZ . Her tragic fate - from learning from the best artists of his time ( Dobuzhinsky , Golubkina and Robert Rafailovich Falk ) to the decade links to the Krasnoyarsk Territory - typical of many artists. Vera Ermolaeva, - perhaps the most poorly known and underestimated figure among the artists of Russian avant-garde. It turned out not only because of the fact that she had been deported in 1930 and died in the camp. Ally , one of the organizers UNOVIS ( "affirmative new art") was deeply original artist, who had their own way , their creative discovery. Unfortunately, the heritage Ermolayeva remained little. Equally unusual figure Hope Lermontovo , a student Leon Bakst , whose work - a strange mix of symbolism and futurism.

key idea of the stand galleries Shpengler is an exhibit of art "first" and "second" avant-garde in a single space. Victor Ufimtsev (1899-1964), Nikolai Mamontov (1898-1964), Valentin Okorokov (1891-1974 ), Shugrin (1906-1987) - they belonged to a generation who entered the avant-garde at its extreme extent, and on the threshold of artistic maturity were dropped into obscurity, into oblivion, and the art of their youth was banned. And each went his own way, sometimes even hiding from her friends own "formalist" tests. But the vector of their movement, committed in solitude, almost "blind", no doubt, was asked vanguard.

Traditionally serious exposition of the "second" avant-garde produced a gallery of the Pan-Dan ". It includes works by Oscar Rabin, Vladimir Nemukhin, Vladimir Yakovlev, Alexander Kharitonov, Anatoly Zverev. And the "Gallery Vspolnom", created recently with the assistance of the Society for the Encouragement of Arts, presents on its stand of non-conformist art masters of the second half of the twentieth century: Zvereva, E. Izmaylova , V. Kalinin , E. Unknown , V. Nemukhin, D. Plavinsky , O. Rabin, B. Sveshnikov , Y. Cooper , as well as a series of photographs by V. Sychev. By the opening of preparing an unusual performance and showing video footage of the second half of the twentieth century.

As we see, Russian avant-garde - and the "first" and "second" wave - attracted the attention of gallery owners and collectors. We hope that visitors will be able to trace the Art Manege historical and artistic context, which stretch from the very beginning of the last century through its middle - the current of the XXI century.
