Friday began for our guide Elena and her guest Denise from Romania with a morning visit to the New Tretyakov Gallery.
Tretyakov Gallery Reveals the Spirit of Russian Art
The guide met the guest at her hotel, and they went to the museum by metro. However, Denise immediately admitted that contemporary art impresses her less. Nevertheless, visiting the exhibition was an excellent opportunity to see the Russian avant-garde in all its glory: works by Petrov-Vodkin, Goncharova, Larionov, Chagall, Malevich and, of course, Suprematism. Socialist realism was not overlooked either: paintings by Pimenov, Konchalovsky and other masters of that time.
Denise noted that she is still closer to classical art. Which is not surprising, because the day before she had already visited the historic building of the Tretyakov Gallery. The guide explained that thanks to such a contrast, one can better understand the diversity of Russian art. Before the revolution, artists dreamed of destroying the old world and creating a new one, which was reflected in their works. Goncharova and Larionov, for example, sought to move away from academic canons, creating their own reality. Larionov even invented Rayonism - a style based on the depiction of light and its movement.
The guide and the guest discussed how the artists' manners of depiction changed literally from year to year. Larionov, for example, was inspired by children's drawings, considering them free from frames. Malevich, in turn, first put a "fat point" in art with his "Black Square", but then he himself refuted this thesis, continuing his experiments. They also paid attention to the non-objective works of Kandinsky, who associated sounds with colors, creating his famous compositions.
After 1932, when the decree on a unified style of socialist realism was passed, artists such as Deineka and Pimenov returned to figurative painting. The themes of their works became strictly regulated: sports, work, a happy life. The individual tour in English ended in the Tretyakov Gallery cafe, where the guide and the guest leafed through albums with photographs of the Soviet era. It was a pleasant end to the day before Denise returned to the hotel.
You can also book a tour "Customizable dream excursion" and others.

Thank you and Masha for yesterday!
The speakers are happy. The connection in the headphones often failed, especially at the checkpoint, but this is our current life situation. It was audible if they were standing close, no further than 1.5 meters. Colleagues have already asked for your contacts. I will gladly share and will be glad to have a new opportunity to work with you. Special thanks to the Director for the Bureau

I wanted to express my gratitude once again for the wonderful excursion on Saturday - we really enjoyed the walk, the information and the communication with you, then we discussed for a long time what everyone remembered and what struck them. It would seem that you have lived in Moscow all your life, there was Moscow studies at school, but it turns out that you still don’t know so much!! In general, thank you very much, my mother said it was the best gift for her birthday!
Note: this is about the excursion "Soul of Moscow«
I will definitely recommend this company to my friends and we will use its services ourselves.
Excellent organization of excursions, all wishes were taken into account, punctuality at the highest level
Note: Review of the excursion-performance, which the guide Alexander specially developed as part of the order "Dream Tour".
"Theater capital" - an author's route through the places of Meyerhold, Stanislavsky, Nemirovich-Danchenko, Tairov (undeservedly forgotten, it was he who created the current Pushkin Theatre on Tverskoy Boulevard).
Two and a half hours of fascinating stories and urban theatre legends. I'll tell you one:
The great composer Sergei Prokofiev lived in Kamergersky Lane. And he managed to die on the same day as Stalin. There was a terrible crush in Moscow, everything was blocked off, the entire capital wanted to say goodbye to the leader. So, to see Prokofiev off, the coffin was carried out from Kamergersky Lane on the roofs. I can vividly imagine this picture.
