This major traveling exhibition, being presented in only five American
cities, features 85 rarely seen paintings by 31 artists whose
achievements put Russia at the forefront of contemporary art in the first
three decades of the 20th century. The exhibition includes a rich variety
of figurative and abstract paintings by masters of their time — Vasilii
Kandinsky and Kazimir Malevich. Internationally acclaimed as pioneers of
modern art, Kandinsky and Malevich were among the first artists to
create abstract art, a style developing simultaneously throughout Europe.
