Oe, wal i Aes RUSSIAN ART EXHIBITION FOREWORD BY CEURTS PEANE SE RIN TON INTRODUCTION AND CATALOGUE BY IGOR GRABAR DIRECTOR OF THE NATIONAL TRETIAKOV GALLERY, MOSCOW COVER DESIGN BY SERGEI CHEKHONIN ORNAMENTS BY ANNA OSTROUMOVA-LEBEDEVA GRAND CENTRAL PALACE NEW YORK 2s Copyright, 1924, by Igor Grabar On Guard NETSOV S VICTOR VA FOREWORD By CHRISTIAN BRINTON N BOTH aim and character the current exhibition of con- temporary Russian art differs from the memorable display held last season under the auspices of the Brooklyn Museum. The purpose of the present exhibition is twofold. It is at once an attempt to offer a generous perspective of Russian aesthetic activity, and a gallant effort to succour and sustain those native artists who are actually in need of material assistance. The committee in charge of the exhibition has been bound by no prejudices, no professional parti-pris. The only law to which they have bowed is the implacable law of circumstance. In welcome catholicity of spirit, they have included that which was temporarily available from the work of certain living artists, and a few of those who have lately passed beyond. Their offering is varied and comprehensive. It embraces all groups and all cliques, with the single exception of the ultramodernists. You will here find no examples of the production of Cubo-futurist, Suprematist, Tatlinist, and kindred exuberant searchers after new and startling phases of self-expression. If the Brooklyn Museum exhibition was largely West Eu- ropean and cosmopolitan in flavour—Petrograd and Moscow plus Paris and Berlin—the present display is indigenous of aspect and appeal. Dominated with but few exceptions by the refined eclecticism of Mir Iskusstva, we saw in Brooklyn Slavic art as it were on dress parade. Upon these generous walls, however, and in these spacious precincts, we are confronted with quite another artistic manifestation. ‘The initial impression, even, is different. It is somewhat akin to the difference that exists be- tween the suave perfection of Turgenev and the stormy surge of Dostoevsky. Russian painting and sculpture are here seen in their native frankness and diversity, with but scant attempt to attain the unity and co-ordination of formal presentation. In- spired by an idealism and a spirit of self-sacrifice which have surmounted incredible obstacles, this collection has been assem- bled after more than two years of unremitting effort. And it is hence with sympathetic appreciation that we should view work which has finally reached our shores from virtually every artistic camp, and every corner of a distraught, aspiring land. We gratefully resign to our colleague and confrére, Mr. Igor Grabar, distinguished painter and historian of art, the congenial office of outlining the development of contemporary Russian painting and sculpture. The few points that remain to be considered are in the nature of fugitive impressions rather than fixed opinions, and in this connection it may not be amiss to note certain significant facets of the exhibition as a whole. If, among the older men, notable names are missing—those for example of Ivanov, Surikov, Vrubel and Repin—we have, in partial compensation, such figures as Vasnetsov, Nesterov, and Serov, the last of whom remains one of the enduring glories of the modern Russian school. It is indeed to Vrubel in the shin- ing realm of fantasy, and to Serov in the province of portraiture, that one must turn in order to comprehend that essential dualism cf spirit which is one of the significant features of the Slavic creative consciousness. With the Russian temperament one never, in fact, quite knows when the world of objective reality may dissolve before the beckoning smile of Swan Princess, or the enigmatic gaze of Jar-Ptitza. It is into a distinctly personal atmosphere that the sensi- tive vision of Constantin Somov leads us. A son of the former director of the Hermitage, Somov has passed his entire life in Petrograd, evoking, in appealing retrospect, the exotic charm of court life, the conscious allure of hoop skirt and crinoline, the furtive, whispered confidences of starlit park or terrace mo- mentarily aflame with coloured lights. With its memories of Casanova and the Venice of Carlo Gozzi and Pietro Longhi, and its echoes of the Peterhof and Oranienbaum of radiant, departed days, there is nothing in Russian art comparable to the delicate creative ardour, and the consummate craftsmanship, that Constantin Andreyevich lavishes upon his precious panels or diverting figurines. Of kindred numerical and artistic importance is the group of paintings by Somov’s confrére, Igor Grabar. The work of Grabar illustrates the evolution of Russia’s leading neo-Impres- sionist into an artist for whom the more specific realities of form and colour have assumed fresh significance. To those familiar with Grabar’s work in Russia a decade or more ago, the present departure proves somewhat of a surprise. A luminous atmos- pheric ambience recalling that of Le Sidaner has been replaced by a vision at once vigorous and explicit—a frankly objective version of the outward and actual. It is Grabar’s contention that many of the more extreme phases of modernism will even- tually revert to what he terms the New Realism, and,—qui sait? Contemporary with Somov’s eloquent souvenirs of patri- cian, pre-proletarian Russia, and Grabar’s transcriptions of out- coor scene, is the work of Korovin, Kustodiev, Juon, and Vino- gradov. The first is a well-known stage decorator and land- scape painter, the second a diverting and colorful exponent of peasant genre, the others apostles of glistening, snow-crusted stretches of country mainly in the Moscow district. Yet before leaving local landscape, one must not fail to note the naive, faithfully wrought panels of Krymov, who, in modest compass, gives us veracious glimpses of a land where the sovereign im- mensity of nature subtly conditions the responsive soul of man. The art thus far considered has mainly been Russian art as it existed previous to the war. It has likewise been Russian art as it was before the advent, under the auspices of two notable Moscow patrons and collectors—Schukin and Morosov—of those epochal displays of modern F rench painting whose influ- ence was so fundamental and far reaching. From 1909 and 1910 onward Slavic art lost something of its rugged nationalism in the struggle to attain an aeshetic internationalism, the fruits of which proved both auspicious and dubious. In the eager, progressive eyes of Mir Iskusstva and Bubnovy Valyet, it was Maurice Denis and Henri-Matisse, Cézanne, Gauguin, van Gogh, Maillol, and later Picasso, Léger, and the Italian Futur- ists, who, among living artists, were the most worthy of emula- tion. While the extreme manifestations of this movement are not reflected in the present exhibition, its influence is clearly evinced in the work of two notable painters, each of whom, after his own specific fashion, elected to follow the precarious pathway of Paul Cézanne. In Konchalovsky you discern a richly endowed equipment for plastic expression, a born capacity for broad, vigorous, painter-like effects. Unequal though it is, his series of big, freely brushed canvases is one of the outstanding features of the exhibition. Mashkov is more controlled, less disposed to in- dulge in sheer tours-de-force, than his comrade of early Bub- novy Valyet days. They, however, admirably supplement each other, and, with their pronounced devotion to plastic form, stand in sharp contrast to the more decorative and synthetic vision of Petrov-Vodkin, for example, who combines the restrained technique of Yakovlev with the forceful peasant characterization of Grigoriev. With a passing tribute to the semi-modern figure compositions of Madame Serebriakova, and the admirable miniatures of Zakharov, one confronts the sculpture section. A genuine artistic sensation is afforded in the carved wooden figures of Konenkov, a former peasant artist from Smo- lensk, who completed his training in Moscow, Petrograd, and Paris. Since the advent, and pathetic eclipse, of the Swede, Axel Petersson, there has been nothing in wood sculpture to compare in primal, racy individuality with the work of Konen- kov. Sheer genius for the possibilities of the medium, and genuine plastic power characterize these figures large or small. ‘They are indeed so vital and personal that they unfortunately overshadow the veritable talent along somewhat similar lines of Madame Golubkina, whose work was so favorably received at Malmo a decade ago. The varied talents of Bakst, Grigoriev, Sudeykin, and Shukhaiev, each of whom lent undimned glory to the Brooklyn Museum exhibition, are sufficiently fresh in the public mind to require no specific comment. They have generously contributed their art, and their good offices, in support of less fortunate com- tades overseas, and in doing so have added special cachet to the exhibition. It is nevertheless upon its merits as a collective survey of Russian art, coming direct from Russia, that the cur- rent display of painting, sculpture, and black-and-white, must be considered. Its strength lies first in its novelty, and secondly in its stimulating variety. Most of these artists, though well known in Europe, have never before appeared in America, for which reason alone their work should enlist intelligent interest. The exhibition does not pretend to be an ideal or definitive presentation of contemporary Russian art. It is primarily an appeal for sympathy and support. And yet, after its own par- ticular fashion, it eloquently expresses the diversity, the baffling complexity, of the native aesthetic consciousness. It indicates, as well, something of that larger sense of struggle and aspira- tion which seems fated to presage the unfolding of the Slavic soul. INTRODUCTION By Icor GRABAR N THE whole history of Art so unusual, so unique, so al- most fantastic an event has never before occurred. ‘The artists of a vast country, of a great nation, which has given to mankind many brilliant poets, writers, musicians and actors, who have spread abroad over the entire earth the glory of Rus- sian Art, have decided to make known to the world, hitherto unacquainted or hardly acquainted with Russian Painting and Sculpture, what those branches of Russian Art have produced. In the midst of great suffering, to the thunder of cannon, during the dark days of famine, cold and every sort of hardship con- nected with the mere business of keeping alive, Russian artists have not laid down their professional weapons, have not aban- doned their brushes and chisels, but have continued to work un- remittingly. And now, by a gigantic effort of will-power, they have resolved to make their labors known and to show the results of their toil beyond the bounds of their native land. With that end in view, they have organized, at their own expense and risk, an exposition of their work. One hundred Russian artists, the best, the most spirited, the most gifted section of Russian Art taken as a whole, have sent abroad nearly one thousand pictures, pieces of sculpture, drawings and etchings. Whither have they despatched them? To a distant land, situated in the other hemisphere, because from that land, from America, the hand of fraternal aid was first stretched forth to Russian artists, and they justly assumed that precisely that people—the Americans, and, first of all, the United States, ought to know what contemporary pictorial Art is like. Truth to tell, the history of Art knows no such flights of artists of such rank from one land to another, especially to so distant a shore. There have keen several exhibitions of Art, both in Western Europe and in America, where it has been possible to make acquaintance with one or another Russian artist, as with an isolated phenomenon, and, also, with whcle groups; but never, hitherto, has such an event occurred as the presentation of all branches of Art, of everything which has ripened, achieved form, and attained to perfected expression in contem- porary Russian Art. And, precisely for this reason, has the present exhibition been collected; everything except the unmis- takably ephemeral has been included therein. With the object of enabling the American friends of Rus- sian Art to grasp the essential points of the copious material which is now presented to their gaze in the Russian Exhibition, the undersigned kegs permission to direct attention at least to the general features of the development of Russian Axt during the past quarter of a century, and to pause a moment over the {undamental periods of this progressive development. A most essential reservation must, however, be made at the very start. Those who expect to find in the Exhibition, Art similar to the ancient Chinese, Japanese, Indian or Persian, that is to say, the Art of countries long cut off from Europe, and living according to a completely individual conception of the world, will ke disappointed at keholding an Art compactly united with the universal European artistic cement. Nevertheless, on closer study of the Art here presented, it is not difficult to see that, athwart this language common to all Europe, there rings out a very peculiar characteristic note. Through that artistic veil which is common to all cultured man- kind, there emerges a definitely distinctive personality, the per- sonality of the country, the personality of the nation. The artistic language of the nations of Europe and America are identical, but their personalities are different. Shakespeare and Dickens wrote in one and the same English language, but their art is immeasurably different. And, in general, all the art of all nations is, at one and the same time, profoundly alike and pro- foundly different. All that is necessary is to understand how to discern this difference and not the similarity. All those tendencies in Art which mankind passed through in the course of the XIX] century, were reflected, of course, in Russian Art. If, even in the Art of far-away Persia and India of the X.VI century, we can easily perceive distinct traces of the influence of the Renaissance which prevailed throughout the whole of Europe, what shall we say about Russia in the XIX century? As a matter of course, she experienced at the corresponding moments, the powerful influence of Classicism, then of Romanticism, then was carried away by enthusiasm for Raphael, a passion for the small interiors characteristic of the 30's, and, later on, by Realism and anecdote in painting. At the end of the XIX century a noteworthy crisis oc- curred in the art world, characterized by the transference of the centre of gravity from the anecdotal—from the contents as a whole, to form while the anecdote yielded its place to feeling, to mood, to barely perceptible sentiment. Historical pictures were replaced by themes drawn from the epics or, at best, by scenes from historical events, which afforded scope for sentiment, for the instinct of history, in contradiction to the preceding “precise knowledge of history ;” the story, whether instructive or anecdotal in character, made way for a simple, artless presenta- tion of life, devoid of any inculcation of a moral or castigation and deliberate preaching. New generations, new groupings, succeeded the realist castigators and story-tellers who, at the beginning of the ’70s, founded the Society of Perambulatory Exhibitions (‘‘Tovarishstchestvo Peredvizhnykh Vystavok’’) which is still in existence. The ‘‘Perambulatories’” (‘‘Peredvizhniki’’), so called be- cause they travelled all over Russia with their pictures, ren- dered immense services in their day to the cause of artistic en- lightenment, by carrying Art into the most remote nooks and corners of the land. Already in these Exhibitions, alongside of this Art, thoroughly typical of the preaching and pedagogical epoch, seeped through to the surface new springs of inspiration which, later on, bore Russian Art to wholly different shores on the currents of their vivifying streams. Thus, simultaneously with the theme of the ““Perambulatory Exhibition’ pictures— the prose of everyday life, its burden, dismalness and sordid- ness—the pictures of Viktor Vasnetsov made their appearance, inspired by the Russian Epics and the Russian legends. In like manner, later on, at these same exhibitions, the lyrical motifs, permeated with poetry and tender feeling, of Mikhail Nesterov appeared with his meditative monks and his taciturn nuns. Con- temporaneously with them the landscapes and portraits of Val- entine Serov and Constantin Korovin began to appear, both men who were searching for purely artistic expression, .already occupied exclusively with problems of form, and not with ques- tions of content. A\ll these artists are represented in this Exhibi- tion and the oldest of them all, Vasili Polenov, is likewise pres- ent in his work. Polenov dedicated his life to the task of de- picting the life of Christ, and, for that purpose, went to Pales- tine and created a series of pictures very far removed in charac- ter from the former conventional treatises on themes taken from the Gospels. In 1899 a journal of art was founded at Petersburg—the “Mir Iskusstva’” (the World of Art). It was presided over by one of the most gifted and cultured men of his time,—and not of Russia alone—Sergei Dyaghilev, who is now known all over the world. His immediate collaborator was the well- known artist and historian of art, Alexander Benois. ‘This Journal brought about a complete revolution in the views of Russian society on the subject of Art, and its appearance marks the boundary line of a new epoch. On its literary pages the names of Balmont, Briusov, Merezhkovsky, Andrei Byely, Rozanov and many others made their first appearance. On its artistic pages and at its exhibitions the pictures of the above- mentioned Vasnetsov, Nesterov, Serov, Korovin appeared, and the earliest pictures of participants in our present Exhibition— Constantin Somov, Leon Bakst, Mme. Ostroumova-Lebedeva, Fvgeny Lanceray, Abram Arkhipov, Sergei Vinogradov and Tgor Grabar, were revealed to the public. In the journal and exhibitions of the “Mir Iskusstva’’ at- tention was devoted, in an extremely marked degree, to illustra- tion, more particularly the illustration of books, which attained to a blossoming so magnificent that Petersburg, in the domain of books, was immensely in advance of Western Europe in that line of the graphic arts. The mention of a few names only, which are handsomely represented in the Exhibition at the Grand Central Palace, will suffice to leave no doubt on this point; first of all, there are Bakst, Lanceray, Somov, Ostrou- mova, then Dobuzhinsky, Chekhonin, nct to mention others. The work of these delicate period artists furnishes probably the most dazzling page in the entire history of contemporary book- ulustration. Simultaneously with the process which led up to the estab- lishment in Petersburg of the journal “Mir Iskusstva” and its exhibitions, there was under way in Moscow another movement whose specific aim was to search for the truth and beauty of real life. The chief efforts and the most brilliant talents of “Mir Iskusstva” led Russian Art in the direction of the most far- reaching Period researches, the most widely varied shadings. But in Moscow interest was mainly concentrated on questions olmampunelyeattistie mature ilhese researches led to the coal. tion of groups, in particular of the Moscow artists who exhibited for the first time in the winter of 1901-2 at the “Vystavka 36 Khudozhnikov” (‘‘Exhibition of the Thirty-six Artists”). The most prominent participants in that Exhibition (who were also its founders) were Sergei Vinogradov, Sergei Maliutin, Con- stantin Korovin, Abram Arkhipov, Apollinary Vasnetzov and Alexei Stepanov, all of whom were represented at the Ex- hibition, as were the remaining members of this group who, later on, joined the basic nucleus: Stanislav Jukovski. Vasili Bakscheev and a number of others. In 1903 occurred the coalition of the Exhibitions, “The World of Art’? and the “Thirty-six Artists’, in one general “Union of Russian Artists” (“Soyus Russkikh Khudozhnikoff’’) which gradually gathered into its circle the artists of the most re- cent departures. In this way were exhibited the paintings of Constantin Juon, Leonard Zhurzhinsky and the sculptures of Sergei Konenkov and Anna Golubkina. In 1908 a considerable body of artists of the former “Muir Iskusstva’’ seceded from the “Union of Russian Artists,” ac- companied by artists of the latest formations allied to them as to their point of view. The new artistic society thus created continues to exist side by side with the “Union” up to the pres- ent time. In addition to the former masters, such artists as Nikolai Roerich, Boris Kustodiev, Kuzma _ Petrov-Vodkin, Alexander Yakovlev, Sergei Sudeikin, Martiros Sarian, Boris Grigoriev, Sergei Chekhonin, and a number of others have be- come prominent in this connection. Those modernist tendencies in painting, which had their birth in France at the close of the XIX century, swept in a triumphant march at the beginning of the XX Century over the whole of artistic Europe; and, naturally, they found an echo in Russia, especially in Moscow, where the soil was already prepared for them, thanks to the existence there of two remark- able collections of the most modern French painting, well known at the present time to the whole artistic world, the property of Sergei Shstchukin and Ivan Morozov. In 1910 a new society sprang up in Moscow, “Boubnovy Valyet”” (The Knave of Diamonds), headed by the artists Peter Kontchalovsky, Ilya Mashkov and Aristarkh Lentulov. The aims of this new group, exhaustively represented in the present exhibition, are closely related to the aims of the artists belonging to the Cezanne circle. It is pertinent to make mention, at this point, of two more artistic exhibitions, the “Moscow Association” (“Moskovskoe Tovarishstchestvo”) and the “New Petersburg Society” (‘““Peterburgskoe Novoe Obshstchestvo”). Among the mem- bers of the former, the oldest society, who have taken part, are the landscapist Alexander Yasinsky, and the miniaturist Feo- dor Zakharov; among the members of the latter are the artists Dmitry Kardovsky and Peter Neradovsky. In conclusion we must note one more departure in Russian Art, which has its analogy also in the Art of Western Europe, —that group of artists which is characterized by a sharply de- fined objectivity and, if it is permissible so to express oneself, by a clear-cut, lovingly detailed treatment of nature, coupled with a striving for a simplified language in art. To this group belong the Petersburg artists Semyon Pavlov, Nikolai Dormidontov and Vladimir Grinberg. The Moscow artists, Sergei Kolesnikov and Vasili Jakov- lev, who have brought the Dutch painters back into favor, oc- cupy a special place of their own. Thus, by divers roads, some parallel, some intersecting, and others which at times have been directly antagonistic, our contemporary Russian artists are pressing forward to the uni- versal goal of all strong and vital artists, the most complete and the clearest expresssion of themselves, of their artistic conception of the world and their perception of the cosmos. To no one is it granted to know which of these roads are the true ones, which the false, which of them are mere foot-paths, and which will prove to be broad highways; a footpath often broadens out and is transformed into a highway, and a highway not in- frequently narrows down into a footpath and even becomes altogether lost in a dense growth of steppe-grass. Sull less is it granted to man to pronounce final judgment, with any prospect that that judgment will be infallible; the sole, impartial, unerring judge is—time; and to us, contemporaries of what is in process of development, it is not granted to grasp the sensation of its breath upon us, to feel its throbbing beat. The only thing which we have a right to demand is sincere artistic integrity, for that alone gives the genuine, truthful visage of the artist, of the country, of the nation. In organizing the present Exhibition, every precaution has been taken to secure the fullest possible guarantees of the inward truth, for only when armed therewith can one journey to a dis- tant and friendly land with the purpose of informing her con- cerning our life, our thoughts, our feelings and our hopes.
