ArcheoBiblioBase: Archives in Russia: H-236Last update of repository: 18 March 2020Gosudarstvennyi Russkii muzei (GRM)Otdel risunka i akvareli XVIII–XXI veka [Division of Drawings and Water-Colours of 18th–21th cc.] Website: http://www.rusmuseum.ru/collections/f... Holdings Total: over 110,000 units; 18th–20th cc. One of the largest collections of Russian drawings in the country, the division encompasses individual drawings, sketches from albums, still-life and nature drawings, and the notebooks of numerous artists covering a period from the eighteenth through the twentieth century. Although most would be classified as art, rather than archives, they nonetheless deserve mention here. Among the holdings are drawings by A.E. Egorov depicting genre scenes from St. Petersburg life; watercolors and drawings by O.A. Kiprenskii, K.P. Briullov, and S.F. Shchedrin; pencil portraits by I.N. Kramskoi and I.E. Repin; landscape sketches by I.I. Shishkin; watercolors by I.I. Levitan; study sketches for paintings by P.A. Fedotov; albums with views of towns on the Volga by the Chernetsov Brothers; and illustrations done by A.A. Agin and P.M. Boklevskii for the works of Russian nineteenth-century writers. The collection contains easel watercolors and drawings, book illustrations and designs (including originals, preparatory materials, studies, alternative versions, and models for books), magazine, newspaper, and applied graphics, theater graphics, posters, and all types of printed graphic design—xylographs (wood engravings), etchings, lithographs, line-engravings, and monotypes. There are works of some of the greatest masters of the Russian avant-garde—K.S. Malevich, P.N. Filonov; drawings and watercolors by I.Ia. Bilibin, R.R. Fal'k, K.S. Petrov-Vodkin; engravings by A.P. Ostroumova-Lebedeva and V.A. Favorskii; lithographs by A.L. Kaplan and A.S. Vedernikov; as well as works created during the Siege of Leningrad by V.V. Zen'kovich, A.F. Pakhomov, and P.M. Kondrat'ev, along with others. The collection reflects the main trends in Russian art of the latter part of the twentieth century. The so-called “Severe Style” of the 1960s is represented by the drawings and engravings of V.A. Vetrogonskii, A.A. Ushin, I.V. Golitsin, and G.F. Zakharov, among others. “Underground” graphics of the 1970s include, among others, the work of A.P. Belkin, G.S. Bogomolov, M.M. Shemiakin. The “Post-Modernism” of the 1980s and 1990s is represented by the production of V.A. Golubev, A.O. Florenskii, D.V. Shagin, and others; while art of the postwar decades also includes the work by artists of different generations and different schools, such as P.I. Basmanov, Z.P. Arshakuni, and N.E. Popov, and many more. Reference facilities: There are subject and alphabetic card catalogues, and inventories available for researchers. |
