From October 4 till November 25 an exhibition of works of the Russian avant-garde artist Vladimir Baranov-Rossine (1888-1944) will take place in the Museum of Private Collections in Volkhonka Street. His name is little known in Russia. His creative work is a blend of postimpressionism, cubism and cubofuturism that was typical of Paris at the turn of the 20th century. Works of Baranov-Rossine bear traces of creative heritage of Gauguin, Matisse, Picasso, Burliuk, but his style is particularly individual. According to Jean-Claude Markade, a French researcher, he was a “genius of variety”. He showed brilliantly his worth also in border domains of art when he created a musical keyboard instrument optophone, which displays more than three thousand colors of spectrum on a screen.
A master of painting, sculpture and drawing, he obtained the first recognition in Paris in 1912 when he became a resident of the famous Hive (La Ruche) together with Marc Chagall, Alexander Archipenko, Osip Zadkine and Haim Sutin, started to participate in the Paris Salons under the pseudonym Daniel Rossine. Then he has lived in Norway for a while and even held a personal exhibition there. In 1918, right after the Revolution, he came back in Russia where he used to take an active part in social life and to teach, but in 1925 the artist returned in Paris. In 1944 he was arrested and perished in grievously known Auschwitz.
You just need to book a room in one of hotels in Moscow, and when you come in Russia, you will be able to see this unique exposition, where some works will be shown that have never been exhibited before.
