The exhibition “19th and 20th Century Russian Art” introduces visitors to the collection of Russian fine art at the Sakhalin Regional Art Museum.
The collection began to take shape in 1983 — the year the museum was founded. The works of art came from art salons of Moscow and Saint Petersburg, private collections, the Moscow auction house Alpha-Art, and the State Russian Museum in Saint Petersburg.
The path of Russian fine arts began with classicism and passed through romanticism and realism to the new trends — impressionism and postmodernism.
The collection is unique for its representation of little-known works by outstanding Russian painters and sculptors: Fyodor Petrovich Tolstoy, Arseny Ivanovich Meshchersky, Nikolay Nikanorovich Dubovskoy, Grigoriy Grigoriyevich Myasoyedov, Apollinary Mikhailovich Vasnetsov, Mikhail Vasilyevich Nesterov, Robert Rafailovich Falk and others.
