Love and art are intertwined so tightly that one could never separate one from the other. Is it not love that inspires the artist to create a sensual image capable of striking a deep chord in the viewer’s heart? From Praxiteles and his divine and at the same time amazingly earthly Aphrodite to ecstatically celestial Botticelli’s Venus and exquisite eroticism of Modigliani, to modern painters who have taken in all the richness of the world’s romantic legacy.

The images of love presented by “Quarta” gallery at “LOVE is…ART” exhibition are diverse but equally touching. They include fine graphic art by Evgeny Rastorguev with his light impressionistic hand, unmistakably giving away the master of the 1960s, as well as his colorful characters from fairy “Gorodets” engaged in vivacious folklore-style flirting.

Fair of Fine Art and exclusive gifts for the New Year.

December 24-25, 2016/ 10 am - 8 pm daily at ARTIME.CLUB (Kuznetsky most str., h.12, 3-d floor, studio 333)

Christmas and New Year are right around the corner. And each city dweller faces the challenge of choosing presents for their nearest and dearest as well as for their colleagues and friends. QUARTA Gallery and ARTIME.CLUB have decided to make a unique offer for those who are looking for a special kind of present capable of carrying your love throughout the years without losing its quality and even acquiring more value with time.

While creating an elaborate piece of art, which in its final form is meant to appear before the viewer, the customer or general public, the artist makes a large number of sketches, variants and drawings. Flicking through a book with illustrations, sympathizing with the cartoon characters, admiring the beauty and comfort of a lovely interior we rarely realize that beyond the book, the frame or the room there are hundreds of fascinating artistic ideas left on paper in pencil, ink or paints. And very often each idea is not just a momentary thought of the artist but a complete piece of art which can be interesting not only for the narrow circle of creators but also for the connoisseurs of graphic arts, collectors and a wide range of viewers.

The Museum of Moscow and Quarta Gallery would like to invite you to the the retrospective exhibition of paintings and graphics by Inna Mednikova dedicated to the artist’s 90^th birthday BETWEEN THE PAST AND THE FUTURE.

The exhibition will be held at the exhibition halls of the Northern wing of the Horse Yard of The Russian country-estate Kuzminki museum from June 4-th till July 3-d, 2016.

The Russian country-estate museum is situated in the territory of the “Vlakhernskoye-Kuzminki” estate complex which is over 300 years old. The exhibition of the artworks by the amazing Moscow artist Inna Mednikova, a beautiful park, historic buildings, a chance to ride in a horse-drawn summer carriage, a pond with a boating station – all this will become a part of a remarkable summer pastime in one of the oldest Moscow estates.

Today on the 13^th of May, 2016 the Central Exhibition Hall “Manezh” opens the exhibition “The history of the Soviet cinematography through posters. 1919-1991” organized by the State museum exhibition center “ROSIZO” and Moscow design museum, with the support of the RF Ministry of Culture.

The exhibition provides an opportunity to see the art of the master who is considered to be one of the titans of the Russian art of the second half of the last century.
The exhibition will present the artworks from the collection of Tretyakov gallery, Russian Museum, ROSIZO, The Institute of the Russian Realistic Art, as well as from Russian and foreign private collections.

Manezh is opeing the exhibition telling about the period of Romantic realism in the Soviet art from 1925 till 1945. The main idea of this project is to show how Soviet reality was reflected in official art and how artists created the myths of the epoch. 12 sections of the exhibition represent more than 80 famous artworks of the time when social realism flourished –it was the official style in the USSR and considered as the only right one in all sorts of art. Many Russian museums generously donated works for the project, among them State Tretyakov Gallery, State Russian Museum, Museum and Exhibition center «ROSIZO», State History Museum, Central Museum of Military Power, State Museum of Oriental Art, State Museum of Russian History. At the brightly decorated central exhibition site of the country you can see the canonical pieces by all recognized masters of the Soviet art: Sergey Gerasimov, Alexander Deineka, Pavel Korin, Alexander Labas, Kuzma Petrov-Vodkin, Yuri Pimenov, Arkadiy Plastov and other not less significant artists of the first half of the 20th century.

Exhibition lasts: November 4-22 . Free entrance

Personal exhibition of artworks by Ekaterina Tikhonova wil be held from November 13 till November 29 at A.A. Bakhrushin State Central Theater Museum, in the Theater Salon on Tverskoy boulevard (11, Tverskoy boulevard). Paintings, graphics, batik.

Ekaterina Tikhonova’s creative activity is variable and comprehensive. It includes delicious-looking still lifes in oil and tempera, landscapes and fantasy batiks as if illustrating fairy tales. The artist’s eye catches something elusive and attractive in everyday life and transforms ordinary objects into mysterious compositions, allegoric images and sometimes into something totally unpredictable even for herself. The graphic character of her canvases makes her perception close to that of a photographer who is looking for the right angle with the help of his camera, searching for the point to base her story on. And here comes the artist’s fascination by silk printing: she can let her imagination run wild in it. Amazing flowers turn into incredible figures, filled with sensuality, the straight line of city houses curves, going beyond the “road”, covering the whole canvas and transmuting into an endless starry night.

On 15th of October a retrospective of works of the People's Artist of Belarus May Volfovich Danzig, dedicated to his 85th anniversary openedat the National Art Museum of the Republic of Belarus (Minsk, 20, Lenina str.). The exhibition runs until November 16th, 2015. Presented in the exhibition works came from the collection of the National Art Museum of Belarus, Mogilev Regional Art Museum named after P.V. Maslennikov, funds of the Belarusian Union of Artists, artist's studio and private collections.

QUARTA Gallery would like to present an exhibition "Interior within Interior. 1930 — 2015" on October 8 — 18 at House and Museum Mouravieff – Apostol (23/9 bld.1, Staraya Basmannaya street). The exhibition will work 10 days - every day from 11 am to 6 pm or any time by appointment.

A classic painting, as we perceive it starting from the Renaissance era, always conveys certain understanding of space. The artist offers us a kind of window which may overlook a garden, a church or maybe an adjacent room. The idea of the “Interior within interior” exhibition is in creating, within the interior of an old Moscow manor (Mouravieff-Apostol House), a mini-space representing various periods of Russian art of the 20^th and 21^st centuries. Small “chambers” with artworks by Russian artists recreate the atmosphere of different decades of the 20^th century, which provides the viewer with the opportunity not only to pass by and see in succession the retrospective of interior art and graphics from the 30s of the 20^th century till present time but to find his or her own point of view in its direct sense, to choose a spot in the hall revealing an unexpected perspective of several art planes simultaneously.

This exciting educative game allows for the development of your own perfect landscape, using the fragments of the works by the Russian landscape artist Fedor Matveev (1758–1826). The mobile application for tablets is free of charge and is available on both iOs and Android platforms.

The game is created specifically for tablets since it contains fine details and will not be convenient for use on smartphones.

"Landscape" is the first application of the "Tretyakov Gallery Art-Creator" series. The next game of the series “Still life” is to come out at the end of 2015
