No less significant in the exhibition of another prominent Soviet masters - of Alexander Bubnov, known worldwide as the author of landmark paintings, "Morning at the Kulikov field," which sketches can be seen on the show. Bubnov, like Corinne, - successor to the aesthetic ideal of "In Search of Russia," in which the heroes of Russian history, vested in the folk tradition traits of mythological characters, get their visible features. If in the prewar years and during World War II artists, addressing the theme of patriotism, often revealed through images of its ancient defenders of the Russian Land, the post-war period appears to us more poeticized - in particular, Alexander Bubnov created a picturesque suite on Pushkin's "Songs of Wise Oleg ", a few paintings from this series will be presented at the exhibition.
