To avoid pre-New Year traffic jams, my team and I decided to have our corporate event in mid-December. As a result, it felt more like an operational Friday meeting (it's hard to switch off when there are tasks piling up). So, despite the cultural part of the program being rich (thanks to our art director Anya for organizing our leisure time), I consciously left my camera behind, which I rarely do, so I apologize for the iPhone photos.
Among the obvious, we visited the ZILART Museum: a huge glass-copper cube, an impressive project by Sergey Choban that reminds me of the Vessel in Manhattan. Inside are exhibition spaces and a collection of works by Mr. Molchanov. It’s a well-known place, and you’ve probably heard of it, but I still recommend it.
Now for the less obvious: the Center of Arts in Moscow. It is literally hidden beneath the Cathedral of Christ the Savior. Inside is a collection of works that can rival the major museums in the country. Just the collection of Rerikh alone is worth it: dozens of paintings, many of which I haven’t seen in any catalog. Moreover, I was simply astonished when I saw Jan Brueghel’s “Allegory of Air and Fire: Venus in Vulcan's Forge” in one hall—a painting I encountered about 15 years ago during my art history exam. I certainly did not expect to see it in the catacombs of the Cathedral.
Although it is stated that the works present are from private collections, I cannot help but note that everything looks like a cohesive whole. Whoever compiled this collection is undoubtedly a professional. I will return again just to think. Shishkin, Aivazovsky, Alisov, Korovin, Kuzmich, Polenov, Levitan, Makovsky, Klodt, Malevich, Petrov-Vodkin, Renaissance works, and many other authors—all under one roof!
P.S. I haven't been particularly interested in military-themed painting, so Bogdan Pavlovich Villevalde passed me by. I’m correcting that: his works remind me of Semiradsky’s style with their hypnotizing white facades and hussars—hussars—hussars (check out the stories). Definitely visit: Volkhnka, 15, entrance from Soymonovsky passage.
