“Not only lilac” – an individual excursion to the exhibition of Peter Konchalovsky in the Russian Museum

Everyone knows Konchalovsky's lilac. But the exhibition in the Russian Museum is much more than the famous still lifes.

We invite you to an individual tour of the temporary exhibition of Pyotr Petrovich Konchalovsky - one of the brightest artists of the Russian avant-garde, master of the "bouquet" and "feast of life".

You will find not just a lecture at the paintings, but a lively conversation about fate, art and time.

What you'll discover:

• “Not only lilacs” – you will see rare portraits, urban landscapes, theatrical works and late paintings, where Konchalovsky boldly argued with socialist realism.
• The story of great love - to the muse, wife and daughter of the famous Surikov. Olga Surikova became not just a muse, but the guardian of two artistic dynasties.
• The search for a picturesque style - from the rampage of "Jack of Diamonds" to subtle lyricism and almost impressionistic freedom.
• The Surikov dynasty – Konchalovsky – Mikhalkov dynasty – as art survived, created and transmitted the gift through revolutions, wars and prohibitions.

Why is it a tour and not just a visit?

You walk around the halls not alone and not with an audio guide, but with an enthusiastic author of the material - Irina Slutskaya, who knows not only the facts, but also the stories that remain behind the pages of catalogs.

You don't get rushed, you ask questions, you go back to the paintings that hurt you.

• Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes
• Number of participants: 1-3 people (fully private format)

The lilac is just the front door. There's an era behind it. Come in with someone who knows all its twists.
