On February 20, the Parking Gallery art space in Zaryadye Park will host the exhibition “Graduation. History. Glazunov Academy. Painting, Sculpture, and Architecture. Two Epochs on Myasnitskaya.” It is dedicated to the 95th anniversary of Ilya Glazunov’s birth and continues Zaryadye Park’s flagship project “Graduation” — an unprecedented experience of representing the young generation of artists who work in different genres and directions: from historical painting and academic school to conceptual installations and new media. In addition to the annual exhibition of graduates’ works, Zaryadye is presenting an exposition about the history of one of the country’s leading art schools for the second time. The first was the exhibition dedicated to the Moscow State Academic Art Institute named after V.I. Surikov, which took place in 2024.
The modern and technological art space “Parking Gallery” will become an allusion to the Yushkov House – an old mansion on the corner of Myasnitskaya Street and Bobrov Lane – an architectural monument, the authorship of which is attributed to one of the outstanding masters of the 18th century Vasily Bazhenov. The exhibition will show two significant periods in the history of the building – from the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture to the creation of the Russian Academy of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture of Ilya Glazunov based on the traditions of the past.
The Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture (1843–1918) was one of the leading centers of art education in pre-revolutionary Russia. Its progressiveness consisted in a special approach to working with students and innovative methods of the pedagogical system. On the one hand, it adopted the best traditions of classical European art education from the Imperial Academy of Arts, on the other hand, it did not deny the national characteristics of Russian art, and was receptive to the latest trends in painting. Later, the school became the center for the formation of a unique phenomenon in Russian art of the mid-19th – early 20th centuries – the Moscow school of painting.
The first section of the exhibition will feature works by famous teachers and graduates of the school, including works by Evgraf Sorokin, Illarion Pryanishnikov, Ivan Shishkin, Konstantin Korovin, Valentin Serov, and Boris Ioganson, whose student was Ilya Glazunov.
After the revolution, the school ceased to exist, and in its place were created first the Higher Artistic and Technical Workshops, and then the Higher Artistic and Technical Institute, which was closed in 1930. In the following decades, the building repeatedly changed owners. In 1987, the academy created by the artist and public figure Ilya Glazunov was located here. In 1988, the university received its current name – the Russian Academy of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture, and since 2009 it has borne the name of its founder.
Ilya Glazunov carried out a huge amount of work on the restoration of the Yushkov House and the return of this building to art. His son, the rector of the academy, People’s Artist of the Russian Federation, candidate of art history, professor Ivan Glazunov, completed the scientific restoration of the facades, the current appearance of which corresponds to the original design of the house.
Today, the Academy is one of the leading art universities in Russia. The building on Myasnitskaya Street houses the faculties of painting, architecture, sculpture, restoration, and art history. The scientific and pedagogical staff consists of dozens of masters of art and research staff.
In the second part of the exhibition “Graduation. History. Glazunov Academy. Painting, Sculpture and Architecture. Two Epochs on Myasnitskaya” you can see the works of Ilya Glazunov himself: paintings from the cycle “Kulikovo Field” from the collection of the Tula Museum Association, as well as sketches for famous works from the collection of the artist’s family. In addition, here will be placed the works of the successors of the artistic dynasty – Ivan and Olga Glazunov, as well as students of Ilya Glazunov Pavel Ryzhenko, Dmitry Slepushkin and Vladimir Shtein, graduates and teachers of the academy of different years Andrei Korobtsov, Mikhail Filippov, Yuri Savelyev and others.
The exhibition will present for the first time paintings from a large-scale art project dedicated to the future thousandth anniversary of Kursk, which will be celebrated in 2032. The central idea is to understand the traditions and historical heritage of the Kursk land, its significance for Russian culture.
A separate section is devoted to the restoration of icons and oil paintings – how the academy’s students, already in the process of studying, work with exhibits from museums in Moscow, Dmitrov, Kostroma and Pereslavl-Zalessky.
The exhibition is attended by 25 museums from Russia, including the State Historical, Artistic and Literary Museum-Reserve “Abramtsevo”, the State Memorial Historical, Artistic and Natural Museum-Reserve of the artist Vasily Polenov, the State Museum-Reserve “Peterhof”, the State Research Museum of Architecture named after A.V. Shchusev, the Museum of V.A. Tropinin and Moscow Artists of His Time, and the Museum of Moscow.
The exhibition is designed for visitors over six years old and will run until April 6.
