Etudes on Drawings. The Italian Contribution to Russian Symbolism
Exhibition July 27 − October 24, 2021
Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts holds an exhibition "Etudes on Drawings. The Italian Contribution to Russian Symbolism".
The exhibition includes works by Umberto Brunelleschi, Oscar Guilla, Romeo Costetti, and Alberto Martini, and is devoted to a part of the museum's collection with which visitors are virtually unfamiliar: drawings by Italian masters who collaborated with Libra magazine.
"Vesi" is a scientific-literary and critical-bibliographical monthly published in Moscow from January 1904 to December 1909. Its permanent editor-publisher was Sergei Polyakov (1874-1943), and Valery Bryusov (1873-1924) was the main inspiration for the journal. An ideologue of Russian Symbolism, the poet attracted famous writers to the publication: Konstantin Balmont, Andrei Bely, Alexander Blok, Emile Verharnais, Vyacheslav Ivanov, Dmitry Merezhkovsky, Vasily Rozanov, and Fyodor Sologub. Maximilian Voloshin supplied the editors with notes on contemporary art, and among the many foreign correspondents was the young Italian critic Giovanni Papini (1881-1956). Most likely, thanks to Papini, the heroes of this exhibition found their way to Libra magazine.
