The Radishev State Art Museum in Saratov

The original Russian graphic art is rather scarce in the collection,     but there is hardly and period, not represented by typical      drawings of the eminent artists, especially of those  (Mstislav      Dobuzhinsky, Alexander Benois, Viktor Borisov-Musatov etc.),      who lived at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries.       The image of the Russian artistic scene is supplemented by       the sculptures by  Mark Antokolsky, Pavel  Trubetskoi,      Sergei Konenkov, Anna Golubkina, Alexander Matveev.      The division of the Soviet art began to be formed in 1919.       Landscapes constitute a significant  portion of the collection,      which is accounted for by the abundance of canvases by the      Saratov painters, prone to landscape painting.

In the early 20's Saratov was a major cultural center of the Volga     region. As early as in 1918,   on the basis of the Bogoliubov School      of Drawing the Free Art Studios were open, later transformed into      the College of Arts, where the arts were studied under the      supervision of  P.Utkin, V.Yustitsky, A.Savinov, A.Kravchenko.       The museum's collection contains not only the works of the teachers       but also those of their numerous pupils: E.Egorov, V.Kashkin,       V.Belousov, I. Shcheglov.     The quest for the message and new forms, experienced by     the young Soviet art,can be illustrated  by the paintings by I.Mashkov,     P.Kuznetsov, A.Shevchenko, S.Gerasimov and   M.Nesterov as well      as by graphic works by V.Chekrygin, A.Lentulov, K.Rudakov,      V. Tatlin,   A.Ekster and many others.

The post-war decades witnessed the division enlarge its collections     with greater purpose: the scope of thems expanded, a number     of artists, who emerged in the early 60's (V.Ivanov, V.Popkov,     E.Zverkov, D.Zhilinsky, the Tkachevs brothers), appeared in     the exhibition.  The Soviet art division, the most dynamic     portion of the collection,is continually being added  to,     striving to recreate with greater detail tendencies of the      present-day artistic scene. On the contrary the Western Art     division is the most stable one, its core being a collection of     the 19th century French, German and Belgian painters gathered by      A.Bogoliubov. The center pieces are beautifully painted       landscapes by the French masters Charles Daubigny, Camille       Corot, Constant Troyon and Adolphe Monticelli.
