This exhibition of over sixty works takes a serious look at Russian Art at a critical juncture the end of the millennium in the history of the nation at its culture.
Art is temporal.
No matter how hard the artist tries, the art cannot be separated from its time. Whether in joyous partnership, defiant reaction, or complete isolation from the events of its history, artwork informs us of the driving spirits and passion of its age. If any society in the 20th century was driven by spirits and beliefs rather than personal and material concerns, it was Russia. Russia was in question. How better to have insight into our cataclysmic century than to look at the art which came from this cauldron.
