On April 17, the Ming Dynasty: Radiance of Learning exhibition will open. The exposition will unfold in the halls of the Patriarchal Palace and the Assumption Belfry. It will be dedicated to one of the brightest chapters in the history of China - the culture of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). Passion for art, literature, music, deep knowledge of philosophical and historical treatises became a real cult at that time. This is what was used in medieval China for the concept of "learning."

“The exhibition continues the tradition of cooperation between the Moscow Kremlin Museums and the Shanghai Museum, which began in 2012 with a display of the Faberge collection in Shanghai. In 2015, we presented the project “The Armory Treasury of the Russian Autocrats”, which was visited by 642,948 people in three months - this is a huge figure even for China. In April, a reciprocal exhibition dedicated to the culture of the Ming dynasty, the most important period in the history of the Celestial Empire, will open in Moscow. All the things that guests of the museum will see will be shown in Russia for the first time and will allow them to get acquainted with the most diverse areas of art, to feel the charm of the times, ”said Elena Gagarina, General Director of the Moscow Kremlin Museums.

One of the main exhibits will be a magnificent procession - a set of 66 porcelain figures of an honorary escort: scientists, military men, musicians - horse and foot, young and old, dressed according to their rank and social status. The group was found in the burial of representatives of the imperial family, but its exact belonging is unknown. The fact that such an escort was placed in a tomb meant that after death a person would begin to occupy high positions, enjoy the same benefits as during life. The ornate set has been well preserved and executed with amazing attention to detail.

The exhibition underlines that the intellectuals of medieval China were keen connoisseurs of art. It will show jade, bronze, carved varnishes and cloisonne enamels. They served not only as interior decoration or clothing, but were also collectibles.

Visitors will see unique furniture from the Ming dynasty with characteristic lines and noble wood carvings: part of the exhibition space will recreate the interior of the intellectual's office.

The hallmark of the Ming dynasty is porcelain, which experts rightfully consider the pinnacle in the production of "white gold" and highly appreciate it. It was at this time that masters developed colored glazes and created overglaze painting technology. Guests of the exhibition will be able to admire the exquisite products made by ceramists of this period.

An important part of the project is the author's drawings, including the famous portraits of James Joyce, as well as animal sketches, pencil sketches of sculptures, portraits and self-portraits. In addition, Brancusi was a photographer and filmmaker. Photography occupied a huge place in his work. Since 1914, he has taken several thousand photographs, many of which depict his sculptures and workshop.

Shortly before his death, Constantin Brancusi expressed a desire to donate his legacy to France, a country that became his second homeland. At the exhibition in the Multimedia Art Museum, the artist's works from the collection of the Pompidou Center will be shown abroad for the first time.

His graphic style had a huge impact on subsequent generations, including Egon Schiele, who began his career when Klimt was already a leading figure of modernity. Schiele learned the experience of his famous teacher and soon found his own unique and unique style, which marked the transition from Art Nouveau to Expressionism.

The works of the artists were included in the Albertina collection during their lifetime. Subsequent proceeds came from donations and bequests from collectors such as August Lederer, Arthur Rössler, Heinrich Benesch and others. Over the next hundred years, the total number of works by Klimt and Schiele was about 350.

The El Lissitzky exhibition is the first large-scale retrospective of the artist in Russia and a joint project of the Jewish Museum and Tolerance Center and the State Tretyakov Gallery. El Lissitzky is one of the leading artists of the Russian and European avant-garde, who largely determined the development of architecture and design of the 20th century, the inventor of a new direction in art, which he called "prouns" (proun - Project for the approval of a new one). The exhibition project consists of two parts and is held simultaneously at two sites - the Jewish Museum and the Center for Tolerance and in the New Tretyakov Gallery. Viewers are presented with about 400 exhibits from the collections of Russian and foreign museums, private collections. The exhibition recreates the artist's creative path and introduces all the stages and directions in Lissitzky's work.

The pre-avant-garde period of Lissitzky's work and works related to his activities in the Culture League are presented in the Jewish Museum. In addition to them, it includes his graphic works, for example, the famous poster "Hit the Whites with a Red Wedge", as well as prouns, photo collages, typography, photomontages, manuscripts and documentary photographs.

1. Cai Guoqiang. October

The Pushkin Museum this year was very generous with large-scale projects. The exhibition by Chinese artist Tsai Guoqiang is no exception. Inspired by the 100th anniversary of the Great Revolution, Tsai Guoqiang created a series of works especially for the Pushkin Museum. In them, the artist reflected on the role of the individual's personality in world history, as well as on the relationship between personal dreams and collective ideals. This project turned out to be really very ambitious, and not only because the artist for the first time in Russia presented his "gunpowder" art. The reason is different - the academic museum allowed the artist to spread his art throughout the exhibition space, but also, in the literal sense, outside of it. Installation "Autumn" is the first thing that a visitor to the exhibition saw. It was located at the entrance to the museum. This is a metaphorical mountain, the basis of which is cots and strollers, from which dozens of young birches sprout. The museum grew trees in the nursery specifically for the exhibition, and the residents of Moscow donated cots and carriages to the museum. “These baby carriages symbolize dreams, childhood, socialist utopia in people's hearts,” the artist said. It was a kind of experiment and a very daring one, which the management of the museum went to.

Above the main staircase of the museum, Cai Guoqiang stretched out a silk cloth, on which a quote from the "Internationale" was drawn in gunpowder: "No one will give us deliverance: neither God, nor the king, and not a hero." Then the artist presented the installation "Earth", which was created from dry plants. Soviet symbols were hidden among the ears, but they were reflected in the mirror surface above them. This installation symbolized the Russian field, the artist wanted to recreate the feeling of mystery that arose in his childhood when watching Soviet films.

On either side of the installation were two canvases made by the artist in his famous "gunpowder style" - "River" and "Garden". The black and white "River" symbolizes the flow of past memories. Red poppies and carnations on the colored canvas "Garden" are located next to Soviet propaganda posters - this is the embodiment of the ideals of the past.

The culmination of the exhibition is the video project “October. Daytime fireworks on Red Square ": in the sky over the main square of the country, lights explode one after another to the music of Pyotr Tchaikovsky. The performance ended with 100 seconds of volleys, which left behind a huge white cloud, slowly carried away by the wind.

From Venetian art to artists of the thaw period, from Kuzma Petrov-Vodkin to Salvador Dali - 14 important exhibitions of the year to add to your calendar.

Caprichos. Goya and Dali

Francisco Goya.« Caprichos» ... A series of 80 etchings. "The sleep of reason gives birth to monsters", 1799

The State Museum of Fine Arts continues to combine contemporary and classical art: this time not only the Japanese artist Yasumasa Morimura, but also the Spaniards Francisco Goya and Salvador Dali, appeared in this perspective. A small exhibition in the main building presents etchings from the Caprichos series by both authors. However, if Goya's series is a satirical reflection on the crisis of contemporary Spain, then Dali cruelly mocks Goya's existing plots, adding new characters to the compositions and altering the names of etchings. The era of romanticism and postmodernism of the twentieth century collide in dialogue, visual and literary.
