The exhibition, held in collaboration with the Russian Museum, will showcase a little‑known part of the legacy of the avant‑garde prophet Mikhail Vrubel — ceramics. For the first time, genuine masterpieces from the collection of the Museum of Decorative Arts itself will be presented: the fireplace «Mikula Selyaninovich and Volga», variants of the image of the «Egyptian Woman», and other works by the genius of Russian symbolism. From St. Petersburg, they will bring the famous Vrubel «Shells,» the sculpture «The Egyptian,» as well as works by other Symbolist artists of the Silver Age — Viktor Borisov‑Musatov, Nikolai Militi, and Pyotr Utkin. Contemporary artists — Leonid Tskhe, Ulyana Podkorytova, and Vasily Ivanov — will also engage in dialogue with the master’s works.
