NELSON SHANKS (USA)

Self-Portrait. 1987. Oil on canvas. 221/4x 301/4 inches
2 June 2011—18 July 2011
The exhibition presents the works by Nelson Shanks from the museums and private collections of the United States of America and other countries. Shanks is the world-wide famous artist, art-historian, teacher and collector, one of the most prominent portraitists in contemporary America. Bill Clinton, Princess Diana, Pope Joann Pawl the Second, Ronald Reagan, Margaret Tetchier, Mstislav Rostropovich and other well-known politicians, scientists and cultural figures were commemorated by Shanks in the works presented on the exhibition. The highest skill helps the author to create the utmost authentic but complicated image that reveals the hidden sides of the model's inner development. Working in the genres of the ceremonial portrait, allegorical composition and still life, Shanks appears as the successor of the academic school of painting with its predilection for strict completed form. The penetration into the essence of portrayal by means of using a realist painting manner is the main artist's task in every genre he is working in.

Master of Painting. 325th Anniversary of Ivan Vishnyakov’s Birth

Master of Painting. 325th Anniversary of Ivan Vishnyakov’s Birth

26 April—1 July 2024

Ivan Vishnyakov is one of the leading artist of the 18th century, portraitist, mural painter, restorer and teacher. However, not much of the artist’s vast legacy, the result of thirty years of untiring creative activity, has survived to the present day. All the more valuable are the eleven surviving portraits in the collections of the Russian Museum, the Tretyakov Gallery, the Museum of Vasily Tropinin and Moscow Artists of His Time, art museums in Tver and Rybinsk, and the National Art Museum of the Republic of Belarus.
