Collection
Museum of Arts of the XX-XXI centuries
The permanent exposition of Museum of Arts of the XX-XXI centuries displays the works of Elena Guro and Mikhail Matyushin - the key personalities of Organic Culture.
In 1923-1926 Michael Matyushin headed the Department of Organic Culture in GINKhUK (the State Institute of Artistic Culture). The aim of the department was to determine, confirm or specify empirically with laboratory test results naturally observed dynamics and patterns of interaction of the principal means of plastic language – shape and colour – and later on to study the effect of sound on these means. The peculiarity of the study of color, shape and sound was that they were studied and empirically observed not in isolation, taking into account the spatial environment incorporating the objects of observation. This was achieved due to the "advanced vision" "ZOR-VED" (vision + cognition), which created the understanding of interconnections, "fusion of essences but not of semblances".
The most outstanding masters belonging to this trend were brother and sisters Boris, Maria, and Ksenia Ender.
Part of the Museum`s collection is completed with works of St Petersburg`s artist Vladimir Sterligov, who developed the theory of an additional element in art, as well as works of Tatiana Glebova, Pavel Kondratiev, Elizaveta Aleksandrova, A. Baturin and others.[2]
