Just Like Real Life! Portraits from the 18th to the 21st Century from a Private Collection

21.06.2023 – 24.09.2023

In artibus Foundation presents Just Like Real Life!, an exhibition of portraits featuring works by Russian artists of various epochs, from the 18th century to today.

This retrospective exhibition of portraits is a journey through time, where each work reflects its epoch. Visitors can turn several pages in the history of Russian portrait painting and see works by both famous and unknown artists, by classic Russian painters and our contemporaries. The exhibition features canonical Russian artists: Fedor Rokotov, Aleksey Venetsianov and Ilya Repin; the 20th-century painters Ilya Mashkov, Pyotr Konchalovsky, Robert Falk, Alexander Drevin, Konstantin Istomin, Antonina Sofronova, Vladimir Weisberg, Anatoly Zverev and Mikhail Roginsky; and, representing contemporary painting, works by the St Petersburg artist Vladislav Razgulin and the Moscow artists Viktor Razgulin and Boris Kasatkin.

Among the 50 exhibited works, which belong to the collector Inna Bazhenova, some are already known to frequent visitors to In artibus Foundation. In recent years they have been shown at the foundation’s exhibitions and in Moscow’s museums. Some works are being shown here for the first time.

Summer exhibitions at In artibus Foundation are flexible in terms of concept. The organisers do not insist on any particular interpretation of the work or of their selection. We give the viewer the opportunity to evaluate the works, enjoy the original nature of every portrait, observe the similarities and difference of painting styles and feel the link between past and present.

Weisberg’s Drawings
The first exhibition of the season at the In artibus foundation is dedicated to Vladimir Weisberg's graphics. This is the third exhibition of the artist in the space of the foundation. The other two, in 2014 and in 2018, represented mainly the master's paintings and were held jointly with state museums (the Tretyakov Gallery, the Russian Museum, the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts and a number of regional ones). This time, the exhibition includes forty drawings by Weisberg from different years – from the 1960s to the 1980s, as well as several classic watercolors by the master from the collection of the Moscow collector Inna Bazhenova.
