“Working on this exhibition is an incredible experience for us. We learned what we had not done before. Interpretation of a work of art is a very difficult, delicate work. It is not always possible for a person who has a vision to explain what principles we determine that this is a masterpiece, and this is not. The experience of this work allowed us to imagine ourselves in another world. We learned a different language. Now we continue to work in this direction. We really want our blind visitors to see what we see with you, “said Irina Bakanova, deputy director for scientific work at the State Museum of Fine Arts. A.S. Pushkin.

The exhibition has already visited Kazan and Volgograd. In accordance with the concept of the project in each city in the local museum, a work is selected, on which a tactile picture is created, then remaining in this museum. In the Kramskoy Museum, this is Giacomo Francesco Chipper’s painting “Peasant’s Meal.” To get acquainted with it it will be possible and after the exhibition termination.

“It is wonderful that the exhibition program of our forum, which consists of very significant events every year, was supplemented by an exhibition such as” Seeing the Invisible. ” I learned about the existence of this project, when the exhibition was in the walls of the Pushkin Museum in Moscow. I saw how great it is, how important it is. When we have the opportunity to take part in such a project in the field of fine arts, this is a great joy and honor for us, “said Mikhail Bychkov, artistic director of the Platonov Festival of Arts.

“Sberbank helped us publish a book album of works by I.N. Kramskoy from our meeting. Then there was an exhibition dedicated to the work of artists from Germany, the natives of Voronezh. And finally, a tactile exhibition. At the heart of this action is a deeply humanistic idea – to help one who is deprived of the opportunity to see these pictures. This event has already entered the history of the artistic life of our city. I express my deepest gratitude to those who participated in the preparation of this exhibition – the State Museum of Fine Arts. A.S. Pushkin, Sberbank of Russia, “said Vladimir Dobromirov, director of the Kramskoy Museum.
