Nikolai Andronov, Natalia Egorshina

The Russian Museum for the first time presents a retrospective of the famous masters of the modern art - Nikolai Andronov (1929-1998) and Natalia Egorshina (born 1926). Within the framework of a single project two personal expositions, united by the professional and private destiny, will be shown. Both Andronov and Egorshina belong to the generation of the 'artists of the sixties', who resolutely declared their civic-esthetic position, defended the truth in the art and the right to renovate the language of the art. Alongside such famous works by Nikolai Andronov as a Fitter (1958) and the Seeing-Off (1965-67) - both in STG, Lake. Hunter's Family (1965) - SRM, the viewer will see a cycle of 'self-portraits', which constitute a special page in the artist's oeuvre, and plastically expressive 'windows', which combine different spaces and genres. The Russian Museum, the Tretyakov Gallery, Abramtsevo State History-Literature and Art Museum Preserve, private collectors and the artist's family, which possesses the bulk of the legacy, granted the works for the exhibition. The show was supported by Nikolai Botka.
