On October 21, the Russian Impressionism Museum (Moscow) launched the exhibition special project “Mirages. Saratov School”, continuing the theme of the exhibition “Alexander Savinov. Mirages”. The official partner of the exhibition was the Foundation for the Support of the national award “Civic Initiative”.
The exhibition “Mirages. Saratov School” is dedicated to the artists of the Saratov school of painting, who at the turn of the XIX — XX centuries took a special path and, in contrast to Vrubel’s “demonism”, painted a world of harmony and peace.
The Voronezh Art Museum has provided the work of Viktor Elpidiforovich Borisov-Musatov”Sitting Woman”, 1899 from its collection.
The exhibition also includes works by Kuzma Petrov-Vodkin, Alexander Karev, Peter Utkin and others.
Exhibition project “Mirages. Saratov School” will last on January 22, 2023.

*Viktor Borisov-Musatov is a Russian artist, painter, master of symbolic images of “noble nests”.
The artist was born on April 14, 1870 in Saratov. In 1884, Viktor was sent to the Saratov School. Artists-teachers Vasily Konovalov and Fyodor Vasiliev noted the talent of the young student and advised him to go to Moscow, where he later enrolled. Borisov–Musatov did not like the Moscow school and a year later he transferred to the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts.
In 1894, at the XVII Moscow Student Exhibition, he presented several of his canvases. One of them, “May Flowers”, was bought by Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna. In 1895 Borisov-Musatov left for Paris, where he entered the workshop of Fernand Cormon.
“Sitting Woman” is a picture from the cycle of elegiac sadness for the old deserted “noble nests” and the dying “cherry orchards”. For beautiful women dressed in timeless costumes that do not bear the external signs of place and time.
In 1905, Viktor Borisov-Musatov died suddenly. He was buried in Tarusa, on the bank of the Oka.

Andrey Kovalchuk mentioned that Russian artists responded vividly to the significant anniversary of the first Emperor of All Russia: “Someone presented new works, someone sent works made earlier to the exhibition, and someone, understanding all the profound changes that Peter I made, created works that, perhaps, directly not related to the Emperor, but dedicated to the history of Russia.” Andrey Nikolaevich noted that such exhibitions unite Russian artists and expressed gratitude to Voronezh and the region’s leadership.
Maria Mazur stressed that the anniversary of Peter the Great pushed institutions of the Voronezh region to organize a number of cultural projects. But the level of preparation of the exhibition “Communication of generations” surpasses the rest. Maria Alexandrovna expressed her gratitude to Alexey Efimovich and the entire staff of the Voronezh branch of the Union of Artists of Russia for the work done.
Anatoly Lyubavin recalled that the museum is hosting the second major exhibition of paintings, graphics and sculptures dedicated to the anniversary of Peter (meaning the project “VIVAT, Russia”, held in April-June this year).
