Sidel'nyk Wita and other artists, dedicated to one of the turning points in the history of art. It is the processes happening in the chart during the decade between the "rebellion 14-ти" creating St.-Петербургской artel of artists and the first exhibition of the new Association — of the Association of traveling art exhibitions. This time, when the complex process of changing artistic formations, the revaluation of genres and types of graphics.

the Departure of the leading masters — K. P. Bryullov, P. A. Fedotov and A. A. Ivanov identified the natural border of the classical era of Russian graphic art and marked the beginning of the next stage. The key event that influenced changes in art and culture in General, was the appearance in St. Petersburg of paintings "the appearance of Christ to the people" (1837-1857) by A. A. Ivanov. The piece provoked a strong reaction in the art world. Dedicated to the memory of A. A. Ivanov's article of A. I. Herzen, N. P. Ogaryov, N. G. Chernyshevsky, in fact — software works, put questions about the position of the artist in society, new ways of painting, about the need for change.

Literary and social thought played a huge role in the formation of new ideals and new artistic models. "Beautiful is life" — this vector was specified in the master's thesis N. G. Chernyshevsky. A different view is presented in a critical article by F. M. Dostoevsky, dedicated to the exhibition of the Imperial Academy of arts in 1861. In this article, the writer explores the reasons for the academic system of education to modern requirements. The exhibition "Time of change" exhibited in graphic sketches for paintings presented at the exhibition of 1861, brought to life by the brilliant art of the essay great writer. The ideological debate between Dostoevsky and Chernyshevsky determined the artistic nerve of the era — ratio of beauty and utility, the aesthetic and the ethical dimension of art.

Satirical graphics — the main thread linking 1860-е years with the previous era. Emerged in the 1840-е years, she followed the literature changed accents — on change of irony to come merciless and grotesque. Graphics in periodicals addressed to a wide audience-читателей received previously unknown force of sound and impact. The exhibition presents original and lithographed drawings of P. M. Shmelkov, A. I. Lebedev, V. G. Perov, allowing to estimate as the skill of the artists-рисовальщиков and technical excellence printed graphics.

Graphics, because of the nature of technology, always responsive to the challenges of our time, in the drawings, practiced new techniques and themes. Working with plot, narrative, distinguishing the genre of illustrations, largely influenced easel graphics, and its appeal to actuality and everyday life ahead of the same tendencies in painting. The exhibition presents the circle of the favorite themes in the visual arts 1860-х years convincingly demonstrates the novelty of the scenes, and the continuity of the way from P. A. to Fedotova V. G. Perov.

"In 1863, erupted a thunderous blow, and the atmosphere of the Russian art cleansed" — wrote Stasov about what happened within the walls of the Imperial Academy of arts "revolt 14-ти" — the scandalous failure of the best graduates of the Academy, headed by I. N. Archaeology, from participation in the competition for a gold medal, held-to-100-летию Academy. Awareness of creative independence has generated a surge of interest in the figure of the artist —, a large number of portraits and self-portraits. The exposition is introduced and original photographic portraits of members of the Cooperative — documentary evidence of the era and an important element in the formation of a new plastic language, in particular graphical portrait. The exhibition presents samples of official art, which is opposed by the participants of the rebellion, — Italian landscapes, genre scenes, nature studies.

the Value of the Farm in the history of Russian artistic culture is determined by its declared values, an active inner life, the very fact of its existence. Innovation porters manifested itself in new forms of activity, but did not rise to a significant discovery. Artistic innovations associated with the names of the four artists that defined the art of his time, — V. G. Perov, I. N. Kramskoy, A. K. Savrasov, I. I. Shishkin. The work of these artists develops a new national concept of genres of fine art — landscape, portraiture, narrative paintings — is produced and the style of the era. Work Perov beginning 1860-х years made a true revolution in the understanding of the plot, and shape. Changes to the graphical technique clearly record a new aesthetic ideal — austerity of the form. Hence a special love for monochrome. The sauces portrait — one of the brightest signs of the times. Modesty technology, "muted" virtuosity of performance help to convey its focus model.

the result of the aspirations 1860-х years and the beginning of the next phase of — to the societytraveling art exhibitions. One of the key paintings of the legendary exhibition 1871 — picture N. N. GE "Peter I interrogates Tsarevich Alexei Petrovich at Peterhof" (1870) — presents the author's etchings and sketches, allowing to understand the principle of work on composition. Alexei Savrasov "Rooks have arrived" (1871) is present in two graphical avatars — sketch in 1871 and later author replica 1894-го. Executed in the technique of monochrome painting, portraits of F. A. Vasiliev and M. K. Klodt (both — 1871) brush I. N. Kramskoy, part of the exhibition 1-й exhibition of the Partnership can be attributed to the region, the border between painting and graphics. They — is an example typical of the era 1860-х years of increasingly pervasive influence of photography on art.
