The history of Russian art reflects the 
turbulent history of the country and its geographical position between 
East and West. Constantly emerging debate about its nature: whether it 
is a kind of incarnation of the Western European tradition, or a 
completely original phenomenon. Despite frequent political changes and 
recurring doubts about national identity, Russian artistic creativity 
has a number of distinctive features, such as bright colors, asymmetry 
of the forms and the tendency is toward realism, then to abstraction.

Realistic
 painting came to Russia from Europe, where, paradoxically, it is now 
completely degenerated and disappeared. In the distant XXVII cloth 
Dutch, Germans, Italians hit the Russian nobility and seamlessly blended
 with the ancient and original traditions of Russian icon painters. In 
the second half of 19. realistic direction in painting predominated.

Becoming the personification of an official state of art, realism, a 
school, demanding reform in accordance with their time, and in 1863 from
 the Academy of Fine Arts came the young painters who rebelled against 
implanted in the academy of classical style and historical and 
mythological themes.

These artists in 1870 organized the Association of Traveling 
Exhibition, whose task was to provide members of the partnership 
opportunities to exhibit their work. Through his work of art made 
available to a wider range of people. For 1890 years there has been a 
crisis of the realistic school in Russian art.


Russian Art And&nbsp;Communism
The turn of 19-20 centuries. was marked in the Russian domination of 
Nouveau Art. But it should be noted that the modernists were based in 
his work on the rich experience of its “realistic” predecessors.

Resolution
 of the CPSU (B) of 23 April 1932 put an end to pluralism, artistic 
directions. All art associations were dissolved, instead of them entered
 the union and the republican form trade unions of writers, artists and 
composers.

In 1934, socialist realism, whose essence is defined as “a true and 
historically correct picture of reality in its revolutionary 
development”, was proclaimed the official Soviet artstyle.


Russian Art Today
After the Soviet collapse in 1991 and the collapse of communism in 
front of the Russian artists new opportunities. State control over the 
teaching of arts in schools, on professional education and ideological 
content has given way to complete freedom of association and creative 
expression. Many people think that realism is the direction outlived its
 function.

All
 that can be said has already been said. In many respects, a 
controversial artist, but a truly great master of art education, which 
has a galaxy of disciples, followers of the realist school, Ilya 
Glazunov said: “The artist must understand and express the first time 
with its balance of power, with his understanding of good and evil, with
 its ideals of beauty, with its understanding of the harmony of peace 
and purpose of art. ” So the history of the Russian realist school of 
painting continues.

Artists represented in the gallery “Russian Art Sales” are the unique
 bearers of traditional painting school of Russian art. This school 
would envy any country. Italy, Flanders, Holland, France and Germany. 
Russia lost and confused much of what was handed to its ancestors, but 
it kept, preserved and developed the talent and creative fire of his 
school of painting, which we now call RUSSIAN ART.
