On the sixth day of the festival, the exhibitions "Robert Falk. Painting and Graphic arts" and "Alexander Rodchenko", which opened in the Voronezh Regional Art Museum named after I.N. Kramskoy, and the project of Evgeny Kravtsov "Corrosion" in the exhibition hall of the Union of Artists on 8, Kirova street continue welcoming the visitors.
The exhibition "Robert Falk. Painting and Graphics" combines about 50 paintings and graphic works of the artist from the collections of the State Russian Museum, the State Tretyakov Gallery, New Jerusalem State Museum of History and Art, the Kursk State Art Gallery named after A. Deineka, Tula Museum Association. The project reflects Falk's creative path from early works in 1909 to works of the 1950s, focusing on the "Paris period" and emphasizing the diversity of the artist's heritage.
The exhibition "Alexander Rodchenko" is a joint project of the Platonov Arts Festival and the Voronezh Regional Art Museum named after I.N. Kramskoy, created as part of the regional program of the Lumiere Gallery and the Still Art Foundation. The exposition includes about 60 photographs of Alexander Rodchenko. His experimental approach to photography forever changed the history of this art form and not only influenced his contemporaries, but also determined the development of photography for decades to come.
The cycle "Corrosion" is the result of the five years of work by Evgeny Kravtsov. It grew out of a series of works by the artist, in which he reflects on a bygone era. Later, the cycle expanded, absorbing new themes and enriching itself with additional meanings. Art critic Ralia Musina characterises the artist's work in the following way: "The sophistication of the letter, in which pictorial and graphic techniques are used equally, creating an indivisible unity, fascinates the most. Kravtsov's innovation rests on a solid foundation of the traditional basics of the Russian painting. The topic, presented in the principles of postmodern art, is "ennobled" by the academic school of painting, realistic interpretations, which is the advantage of the cycle as a work of art, in which the old and the new are not antagonists, but unity in their evolutionary development."
