OPENING 1917 RUSSIAN PHOENIXES IN THE WEST

Devoted to the Russian artistic diaspora, the exhibition raises the prolific exchange between Russia and the West. Many artists in the first quarter of the 20th Century left their homeland for France, Germany or United States. Their work varied widely in terms of style, as did their careers before and after departure. A special emphasis will be placed in Paris which was indisputably a major artistic location. The exhibition brings together over thirty paintings, which collectively explore their conversion into a new aesthetic dimension.   Marie Bronislava Vorobyeva-Stebelska / known as Marevna (1892 - 1984), La mort et la femme, 1917, oil on wood, 107 x 134 cm   Artists included: Boris Anisfeld, Vladimir Baranov-Rossiné, David Burliuk, Marc Chagall, Serge Charchoune, Sonia Delaunay, Alexandra Exter, Natalia Goncharova, Alexej von Jawlensky, Konstantin Korovin, André Lanskoy, Tamara Lempicka, Philip Maliavin, Marevna, Serge Poliakoff, Ivan Pougny, Vera Rockline, Isaachar Ryback, Lasar Segall, David Shterenberg, Chaïm Soutine & Nikolai Tarkhov.
