LES FAUVES RUSSES

From 18 June to 28 September the Museum of Russian Impressionism, in collaboration with the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts, will present the ‘wild’ Fauvist works of European and Russian artists from the early 20th century. The exhibition ‘Les Fauves Russes’, the title of which refers to David Burliuk’s article for the almanac ‘Der Blaue Reiter’, will bring together works by the French Fauvists Henri Matisse, Othon Friesz and Albert Marquet, and the rebel experimenters who used colour to change the face of Russian art in the 1900s and 1910s: Ilya Mashkov, Natalia Goncharova, Olga Rozanova, and others. The exhibition is part of a programme by the Cherry Forest Open Arts Festival.
