Спецпроект на третьем этаже Музея русского импрессионизма предлагает посмотреть на Фёдора Шаляпина собственными глазами артиста и глазами его современников. Знаменитый певец покорял публику по обе стороны океана, а в свободное от театра время увлекался живописью, графикой и скульптурой. На выставке будут представлены автопортреты, фотографии, сценические костюмы, а также произведения его друзей-художников.
Обладая незаурядными внешними данными и ярким характером, Шаляпин зачастую становился моделью для талантливейших мастеров эпохи, изображавших его в жизни и на сцене. Посетители увидят работы Константина Коровина, Александра Головина, последний прижизненный портрет артиста, выполненный Василием Шухаевым, и бронзовый бюст работы Паоло Трубецкого.
Выставка также познакомит с Фёдором Шаляпиным — мастером перевоплощения, убедительно исполняющим на сцене разные роли и партии. Знаменитые образы Ивана Грозного и Бориса Годунова, Демона и Фарлафа, Дона Базилио и Дон Кихота, созданные оперным певцом, будут соседствовать в экспозиции с масштабным живописным портретом кисти Бориса Кустодиева, пожалуй, самым узнаваемым изображением артиста.
Благодаря театру Фёдор Шаляпин всегда был тесно связан с художественным миром. Он брал уроки лепки у скульптора Ильи Гинцбурга, пробовал свои силы в живописи и графике, экспериментировал с различными техниками и материалами. Дополнят впечатление об артисте-художнике архивные фотографии и аудиозаписи его выступлений.
Произведения из фондов Государственного академического Большого театра России, Санкт-Петербургского музея театрального и музыкального искусства, Российского национального музея музыки и других государственных и частных собраний составят многогранный образ Фёдора Шаляпина — легендарной фигуры начала ХХ века.

‘POINTS OF VIEW’ EXHIBITION
SPECIAL PROJECT ‘POINTS OF VIEW: FEODOR CHALIAPIN’
Museum of Russian Impressionism
9 June — 2 October 2022
From June 9 to October 2 the Museum of Russian Impressionism will present the exhibition ‘Points of View’. Through a comparison of self-portraits and portraits of artists, the curators trace the development of the portrait genre and ways of depicting the subject at the turn of the 19th to 20th centuries. The exhibition includes works by Ilya Repin, Boris Kustodiev, Robert Falk, Vladimir Tatlin, Zinaida Serebryakova, Natalia Goncharova, and others.
Visitors will be able to see how the masters portrayed themselves, and how their contemporaries — painters, graphic artists and sculptors — viewed them. Realists and innovators, participants in the World of Art and Blue Rose groups, the school of Pavel Filonov and the Jack of Diamonds, painted self-portraits and portraits of each other, demonstrating similarities or fundamental differences in their ‘points of view’.
The exhibition will feature the realistic tradition of psychologism, impressionistic lyricism, Symbolist theatricality and Cubist experiment. If some pairs of self-portraits and portraits turn out to be almost identical in style — for example, in more or less abstract images by Alexander Rodchenko and Varvara Stepanova, then others stress the difference in style — as in the self-portrait of Mikhail Larionov from the Paris period and a painting of him by Natalia Goncharova.
These portrait images reflect the personal relationships of artists: professional, as between Ilya Repin and Isaak Brodsky; friendly, as with Boris Kustodiev and Ivan Kulikov; or within families, as with the Favorsky or Kardovsky couples. At the beginning of the century new motifs appeared in portraits — mirrors, masks, carnival or period costumes, paintings-in-a-painting, windows, medieval cities as a background, and even urban microcosms.
The exhibition includes several novelties for the viewer. Mikhail Larionov’s ‘Self- Portrait with an Unknown Woman’ from the collection of the Tretyakov Gallery will be shown for the first time, as well as Robert Falk’s ‘Lisa in a Blue Shawl’ from the collection of the Oryol Museum of Fine Arts, which has never previously been exhibited in Moscow. The public will encounter little-known names including Viktor Bart, an associate of Mikhail Larionov, Lev Zevin, a student of Robert Falk, and Vladimir Bekhteev, a member of the Blue Rider group.
Visitors can see works from the State Russian Museum, the State Tretyakov Gallery, the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts and several federal and regional Russian museums, as well as from private collections in Moscow and St. Petersburg. Self-portraits and portraits are supplemented by archival photographs that allow us to compare the artist’s actual appearance with artistic interpretations.
The catalogue for the ‘Points of View’ exhibition includes articles by the art historians Sofia Bagdasarova, on evolution of the portrait genre in world art, and Elena Yakimovich, on Russian photography. This exhibition will be accompanied by an educational programme for children and adults.
Curator: Natalia Sviridova, Chief Curator of the Museum of Russian Impressionism.
‘POINTS OF VIEW: FEODOR CHALIAPIN’
A special project on the third floor of the museum reveals Feodor Chaliapin through the artist’s own eyes, and through those of his contemporaries. The famous singer conquered the audience on both sides of the ocean, and in his spare time from the theatre he was a devotee of painting, graphics and sculpture. The exhibition will showcase self-portraits, photographs, stage costumes, and works by his artist friends.
With his unusual appearance and extraordinary character, Chaliapin often served as a model for the most talented contemporary artists, who portrayed him in life, and onstage. Visitors will see depictions by Konstantin Korovin and Alexander Golovin, as well as the last portrait painted in the artist’s lifetime by Vasily Shukhaev, and a bronze bust by Paolo Trubetskoy.
The exhibition also introduces Feodor Chaliapin as a virtuoso of stage make-up and master of reincarnation, who could readily assume and convincingly perform the most diverse roles and stage parts. Famous images of the opera singer as Ivan the Terrible and Boris Godunov, the Demon, Farlaf, Don Basilio and Don Quichotte will be shown in the exhibition, along with a striking large-scale portrait by Boris Kustodiev, perhaps the most recognizable image of the artist.
From his association with the theatre, Feodor Chaliapin was always closely connected to the world of art. He took modelling lessons from the sculptor Ilya Ginzburg and tried his hand at painting and drawing, experimenting with various techniques and materials. Archival photographs and audio recordings of his performances will complement this impression of the opera singer and artist.
Works from the collections of the State Academic Bolshoi Theatre of Russia, the St. Petersburg Museum of Theatre and Musical Art, the Russian National Museum of Music, and other public and private collections comprise a multifaceted image of Feodor Chaliapin as a legendary figure of the early 20th century.
Curators: Yulia Petrova, Director of the Museum of Russian Impressionism; Anna Sklyarevskaya, Specialist, Exhibition Department of the Museum of Russian Impressionism.
