EAST WEST JAZZ  – GROUP SHOW

THE PUSHKIN STATE MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS, MOSCOW, RUSSIAFrom 01/10/2019 to 15/11/2019

The exhibition “East West Jazz” displays over 30 unique robes and textiles from Alexander Klyachin’s collection and over two dozens of post-war abstract paintings from the collection of the Gandur Foundation for Art. The scope of the exhibition is widened by works from the collections of The Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts and the Centre Pompidou to further reveal the interaction between Eastern and Western cultures, notably 14 rarely displayed sheets from Henri Matisse’s “jazz” graphic series created in 1947 and works by Kandinsky from the Pushkin Museum collection and 14 abstract works from the Centre Pompidou and French private collections. This exhibition will be philosophical, emotional and contemplative, rather than didactic.
