On April 13, the grand opening of the exhibition of the President of the Russian Academy of Arts Zurab Tsereteli “The Joy of Life” took place.

The exhibition, which presented 33 paintings, 21 three-dimensional enamel and 2 sculptures, was opened by the head of the Department of Culture Maria Mazur, Vice-President of the Russian Academy of Arts Anatoly Lyubavin, Director of the Voronezh Art School Sergey Gulevsky and Director of the Museum Yulia Zaichenko.

“Our museum is proud of its long-standing friendship with this great man. This is far from the first exhibition of the master here, but it is especially pleasant that in the year of the 90th anniversary of the museum, Zurab Konstantinovich and his team readily responded to the offer to bring the works to the exhibition in Voronezh” – Yu.N. Zaichenko.

Maria Alexandrovna noted that the name of Zurab Tsereteli is known all over the world. The head of the Department of Culture expressed confidence that this exhibition will become one of the most visited exhibition events of the year.

Anatoly Lyubavin stressed that all the works of Zurab Tsereteli are extremely open to the viewer. The artist loves life, loves people and talks about it every day in his works.

In addition to the wonderful exhibition, which will delight Voronezh residents until May 28, Zurab Konstantinovich donated two of his works to the museum: a graphic sheet “Sheets from the album” and a sculpture “Citizen”. They will occupy an important place in the collection of the I.N. Kramskoy VOHM.

Recall that the exhibition “Joy of Life” will be open until May 28, 2023.
