Dear friends, we have prepared for you a virtual tour for one of the most visited exhibitions at Manege — "Deineka / Samokhvalov". The project featured 300 exhibits created by Soviet artists Alexander Deineka and Alexander Samokhvalov, from 37 museums and 9 private collections. We produced this exhibition in cooperation with the State Tretyakov Gallery, the Russian Museum and the Kursk Deineka Picture Gallery. The project is co-organized by the Russian Culture Fund. The exhibition was dedicated to the 120th anniversary of the birth of Alexander Deineka.
Deineka and Samokhvalov were members of two closely related artistic societies – OST (Obshchestvo khudozhnikov-stankovistov – the Society of Easel Painters) and Krug khudozhnikov (the Artists’ Circle). They worked on similar themes and created works of art which featured as their subjects Red Army soldiers, female athletes, miners and metro construction workers. Both of them were Soviet artists who were open to global trends. Deineka’s links were with Moscow, and Samokhvalov’s – with Leningrad.
Curator: Semyon Mikhailovsky, Rector of the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts, Commissioner of the Russian Pavilion at the Venice Biennale.
Designer: Anton Gorlanov.
