On June 9, the exhibition “Points of View” began work at the Museum of Russian Impressionism (Moscow).
The project “Points of View” presents an original curatorial idea of comparing self—portraits and portraits of artists of the late XIX – early XX century. A difficult and eventful time, a lot of opposing stylistic groupings and associations, the collapse of the old ideology and the birth of new ideas led to an active search for portrait imagery.
The exhibition offers to trace how the artist portrays himself and how he appears to his contemporaries — painters, graphic artists, sculptors.
Voronezh Regional Art Museum named after I.N. Kramskoy provided 2 works from its collection for the exhibition:
E.A. Kiseleva “The artist with a green vase. Self-portrait”
L.K. Antonov “Portrait of E.A. Kiseleva”
The exhibition also includes works by Ilya Repin, Boris Kustodiev, Robert Falk, Zinaida Serebryakova, Alexander Rodchenko and other authors.
The exhibition project “Points of View” will last until October 2, 2022.

In her welcoming speech, Yulia Zaichenko noted that Ksenia Nikolaevna is one of the most beloved artists for Voronezh residents. Many, especially people of the older generation, are well acquainted with the work of Ksenia Uspenskaya from her works in textbooks, books, and postcards. Her works are so vivid, emotional and sensual that they leave no one indifferent.
Valentina Sumina shared her memories of Ksenia Uspenskaya and expressed gratitude for the fact that the artist brought a “fragrance” of softness, sincerity and aristocracy to her works. She also noted that the artist’s works have an inherent inner harmony, which we all lack so much now.
Alexander Gutorov told about the life and creative path of Ksenia Nikolaevna, with whom he was personally acquainted and friendly. He noted that throughout the artist’s work, there is a love for what she depicted. Alexander Vasilyevich remembered an interesting answer to the question he asked Ksenia Nikolaevna many years ago: “Why, despite her fame throughout the Soviet Union, she does not have the title of either honored or national artist?”. To this she replied that she has a lot more – there is a name that everyone knows.
Vladimir Pupykin spoke on behalf of the graduates of the Architectural Department of the Voronezh School of Architecture, who studied with Ksenia Uspenskaya. He told about what a wonderful teacher and mentor Ksenia Nikolaevna was, what a great love she left in the souls of all her pupils.

Ksenia Nikolaevna Uspenskaya is one of the most beloved Voronezh artists. For many decades, her work has been appreciated by art lovers for its vivid imagery, emotionality, poetry, and free manner of execution.
Ksenia Uspenskaya received her art education in Moscow after graduating from the Faculty of Artistic Ceramics of the Institute of Decorative and Applied Arts. Her teachers were Alexander Deineka, Pyotr Konchalovsky, and her educational work was favorably evaluated by Vera Mukhina and Alexander Gerasimov.
The works of Ksenia Uspenskaya were reproduced in school textbooks and on postcards, and the books illustrated by her are known to a wide range of readers. The textbook painting “They didn’t take fishing”, written in 1955, familiar to all older people from the textbook “Native Speech”, is kept in the State Tretyakov Gallery.
Since 1956, Ksenia Nikolaevna has been a member of the Voronezh branch of the Union of Artists of the RSFSR and a regular participant in numerous exhibitions.

Ksenia Uspenskaya created a whole gallery of portraits of contemporaries. In each of them she found a precise, expressive figurative and picturesque language. The artist is always attentive to the person, whether it is a portrait of a scientist, a teenager, a worker. Children’s portraits invariably charm with their sincerity and charm.
