Holdings Total: ca. 36,500 units; 16th–20th cc. The Division of Graphic Arts has a considerable collection of engravings, drawings and lithographs, which have been acquired by the Academy of Arts over a period of two and a half centuries. Most of these would be considered works of visual art, although many of them are also of archival interest. The collection that was donated by Count I.I. Shuvalov, the founder and first chief director of the Academy of Arts in 1758, includes albums of sixteenth- to eighteenth-century European engravings and other graphics that once belonged to the Academy President, I.I. Betskoi. Also included in the division are the works of E.P. Chemesov, N.I. Utkin, V.V. Mate (Basile Mathe), and A.P. Ostroumova-Lebedeva, among others, together with a large collection of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Russian drawings. The division also contains the finest works of those who attended the Academy of Arts from the eighteenth to the early twentieth century, as well as works done by students of the I.E. Repin Institute of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture and the V.I. Surikov Institute of Arts in Moscow. |
