Art of the 1920s–1930s

The exposition features the works of art of the first two decades of Soviet power: portraits of contemporaries painted by Alexander Samokhvalov, Alexander Deineka and Fyodor Bogorodsky; typical canvases on peasant themes by Vyacheslav Pakulin and Alexei Pakhomov, artists of the Leningrad branch of the Union of Artists. It is possible to trace interest in the new social phenomena with reference to the works by Vasily Kuptsov, Sergei Luchishkin, Samuel Adlivankin, Alexander Drevin and Alexei Karev. Alongside revolutionary historic canvases the exposition comprises paintings of everyday life, landscapes, portraits and still-lifes which is indicative of the diversity of creative quests of the artists representing numerous art societies and groups from the Association of Artists of Revolutionary Russia (Isaac Brodsky) and the Society of Easel Artists (David Sterenberg) up to the Four Arts Society of Artists (Kuzma Petrov-Vodkin, Pavel Kuznetsov)andMasters of Analytical Art (Vasily Kuptsov).
