EDUARD GUDZENKO

Still life with a Fish. 1967. Oil on canvas. 53 х 79
18 December 2014—16 February 2015
The exhibition of Eduard Gudzenko (1938-2006) shows around 70 paintings and graphic works completed in different periods of time. The name of the artist who most of his life had worked in the city of Cherkassy, the Ukraine, is unlikely known to the people of Saint-Petersburg. The exhibition thoroughly presents the artist's oeuvre. The key subject of his works is the interaction between city and countryside ways of life. The power of color, the brightness of rich and pure palette, expressive painterly method that take roots in the artistic discoveries of Post-Impressionists as well as ornamentality, which reveals its deep connection with the national Ukrainian art tradition are typical for the Gudzenko's works. The exhibition consists of several thematic units that show the main circle of subjects: portraits, industrial landscapes, the world of theater and folklore, countryside views, trees and flowers, fields and river landscapes and still lives.

The Lives of Remarkable Dogs

The Lives of Remarkable Dogs

17 May—10 November 2025

The exhibition explores the presence of dogs in Russian life and art. It addresses a historical process in all its forms – from the history of the state to the narrative of everyday life. A significant portion of the works on display were created in the 20th century and during the first two decades of the 21st century. Artist and dog have traveled a long road together in Russian art, and this journey still holds the promise of many discoveries to come.

26 February—21 April 2025

The Russian Museum continues to acquaint its visitors with various types and movements of contemporary art. The exhibition traces the evolution of assemblage, object and installation in Russian art. Once shocking with their novelty and peculiar nature, now they are no longer perceived as a “slap to the face of public taste” but occupy a firm place on the contemporary art scene.
