Mysteries of Russian art - course 3300 rubles. from MIF, training 4 lectures, Date: November 29, 2023.

Paintings are mirrors of an era that have preserved its reflections for centuries. And the frame of the canvas is not its frame. Therefore, you can look into the picture as if through a window, opening the shutters. And discover there a large and voluminous world that surrounded the painter. Breathe this air, squint in the light, listen to people, touch objects...
But for this to happen, you need to know where and how to look.

Our lecture hall — about Russian fine art. But not so much about him, but about the life captured in the paintings. We will learn to look beyond. Read canvas. We will unravel the traces of historical events, unravel hints about specific individuals and hear philosophical debates of past centuries.

For what? Because this is our history, our cultural code. By understanding it, you understand your time and understand yourself.

Canvas, oil and a little pepper

Artists - not bores, shading a black and white still life. These are the astute reporters of their time. And they have a great sense of humor, encrypted in every corner of the canvas. Oddities and fashions, incidents and gossip are served with brushes and paints as an exquisite dish for real gourmets.

And everyone can taste it. These lectures are for those who “know everything” and for those who “understand nothing” in the visual arts.

What will happen in the lecture:

• Cool “wow” stories! about people, pictures and historical events
• Virtual museum tours with an all-knowing guide
• “Riddles” that you will solve yourself by looking at the paintings

As a result you:

— you’ll have a great time and learn a lot of new things from the wonderful world of Russian culture
— you will become familiar with styles and movements in art that you were previously embarrassed to even say hello to
- you will be able to unravel the tangles of history and not lose the thread
- surprise your friends
- you will become better aware of the world around you and yourself
