The Voronezh Regional Art Museum received new stock equipment. Fireproof cabinets for storing documents were acquired through the implementation of the national project “Culture”. The new storage system will house the documentation of the art museum for the last 90 years.
“The purchase of special stock equipment is extremely important for the preservation of cultural heritage. Specifically, these cabinets currently house numerous museum documentation. After all, the department of funds is not only the storage of art objects. This is also their documentation, cataloging, the history of admission and study. Prior to that, the documents were stored in outdated cabinets, which caused difficulties when using them” – chief curator of the museum Maria Marina.

On September 22, the exhibition “Painting by Zinovy Popov and Yuri Vnodchenko” from the collection of the Voronezh Art Museum named after I.N. Kramskoy opened in the V.S. Sorokin Art Museum – the Master’s House
The exhibition includes about 28 paintings from the collections of the Voronezh Regional Art Museum named after I.N. Kramskoy. The creativity of the artists whose works are presented at the exhibition is connected with the Voronezh Region.
Popov Zinovy Efimovich (1924-1984) – painter, graphic artist, member of the Union of Artists (1960), participant of the Great Patriotic War. He carried his childhood dream of becoming an artist through all the trials of front-line life and realized it already in peacetime. The master worked mainly in the genres of portrait and landscape. Color is the main expressive means in the works of the artist. The exhibition presents lyrical rural landscapes (“Winter”, “Haystacks”, “Spring Day”, “Willows”, etc.), events from the everyday life of people of the 60s -70s (“Fair”), female portraits, still life “Winter Window”.
Vnodchenko Yuri Fedorovich (1927-2013) – painter, Honored Artist of the RSFSR. For many years he headed a group of artists who traveled to collective farms to create paintings. He painted peasants living a life of daily hard work (“Birdhouse”), created portraits – biographies of elderly people (“Loneliness”). The artist reveals a deep psychological characteristic in his self-portrait. The exhibition also includes rural and urban landscapes (“Summer rain”, “Collective farm yard”, “Thaw”, etc.), still life (“Still Life with mountain ash”).
The works presented at the exhibition will be of interest to a wide audience, the older generation, young people and very young viewers.
The exhibition will run from September 22 to November 5, 2023
Two paintings by Nicholas Roerich from the collection of the Voronezh Regional Art Museum named after I.N. Kramskoy will be presented at the State Tretyakov Gallery (Moscow).
Nikolai Roerich created “The Morning of the Princely Hunt” and “Return from Hunting” in Paris in 1901, and after returning to Russia, the paintings took part in the Spring Exhibition at the Academy of Arts. After the show, the work was acquired by Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna and until 1919 the diptych decorated the estate in Olgino. Later the paintings were transferred to the museum. According to one version, Nicholas Roerich wanted to buy the “Prince’s Hunt” from the Oldenburg family when he was preparing for one of his personal exhibitions. However, the new owners of the paintings refused to sell them.
The diptych “Prince’s Hunt” was included in the “Slavic cycle” of Nicholas Roerich. All the paintings in this series are characterized by decorativeness and a certain ornamental generality, which allows you to focus on the holistic perception of the canvas. In these works, the artist used a muted color scheme.
Both panels became widely known to the Russian and Western public for reproductions in publications of the beginning of the XX century. Moreover, the panel “Morning of the Princes of the Hunt” was printed much more often — sometimes under the simple name “Hunting”, but the second panel, “evening”, was published only twice.
Exhibition “Nicholas Roerich”

The audience will see over a hundred paintings and graphic sheets — from the famous masterpieces of early creativity “Messenger” and “Overseas Guests” to the works of the Indian period “Guga Chohan” and “Chenrazi”. Roerich will be presented not only as a “master of mountains” who created easel works, but also as an artist who successfully realized his talent in theater and architecture.
The sensation of the exhibition will be the first demonstration for the public of the magnificent theatrical backdrop made by Nicholas Roerich in 1908 for the ballet Polovtsian Dances, which was staged in Paris as part of the first season of the famous entreprise “The Russian Ballet of Sergei Diaghilev”.

The landscapes of the Classical era with majestic landscapes emphasized the beauty and harmony of nature. Allegories of Dutch and French masters with the help of mythological or real characters told about abstract concepts and feelings. Objects of applied art reminded of the elegance of everyday life of the XIX century.
