In Search of the Quintessence: How Fellows Discovered the World of Russian Impressionism 🎨

Recently, our fellows in international relations visited an exhibition ”The New Society of Artists” at the Museum of Russian Impressionism.

The New Society of Artists was a creative association of young painters, sculptors, and architects in St. Petersburg from 1903 to 1917. Its main goal was to support novice artists — graduates of the Imperial Academy of Arts and other art institutions through active exhibition activities and assistance in selling their works.

During their visit, the InteRussia participants:

🎆 got acquainted with notable Russian impressionists such as Dmitry Kardovsky, Olga Della-Vos-Kardovskaya, Boris Kustodiev, Alexey Shchusev, Mikhail Vrubel, and other members of the Silver Age creative association;

🎆 discovered how Russian impressionism was shaped by the turbulent events of the 19th and 20th centuries, including wars, revolutions, and rapid industrialization;

🎆 explored the techniques of Russian impressionists, who used expressive brushstrokes and rich color palettes blending realism and emotional depth in ways that were distinct from their European counterparts.

The visit was not only an art appreciation experience but also a journey into the heart of Russian history and identity as seen through the eyes of its impressionist artists.
