Nikolay Shestopalov
The exhibition presents the oeuvre of Nikolay Shestopalov (1875-1954) for the first time after a long break. This artist acquired appraisal and fame in the 1900-1920-s and afterwards remained forgotten for a long time. Before 1917 he participated in exhibitions of the “World of art” (“Mir Iskusstva”) group of artists and was active in the genre of satirical graphics. Later, after the Revolution he worked with historical-revolutionary subject matters and presented his paintings at all exhibitions of Association of Artists of Revolutionary Russia from the time of its establishment.
The exhibition in the Stroganov Palace will comprise around 70 works of Nikolay Shestopalov from the Russian Museum and private collection.
The Leningrad Rock Club in Photographs. Celebrating the 40th Anniversary of Its Opening
28 december 2020—10 may 2021
The Leningrad Rock Club was established in early 1981 and has become a true center of attraction for musicians whose art did not fit into the Soviet cultural framework. The Leningrad Rock Club was a sign of the era of upcoming changes in the country and even now, after forty years, it is hardly needed to explain what was its role in the cultural and social life of Leningrad and, more broadly, the country.
