Exhibition: Newly acquired Russian art (Mead Art Museum; on view through April 5, 2015)

Mead Art Museum, Amherst College

On view are recently acquired prints by nonconformist Russian artists Grisha Bruskin, Vladimir Yankilevsky, Alexander Kosolapov, and Boris Orlov. The works date from the last years of the USSR, which collapsed in 1991. By that time the artists, whose work was suppressed in the official Soviet art world, had immigrated to Western countries where they continued to work in their unique styles. This small selection now on view is part of a generous gift of 60 works made by the Traisman Russian Art Foundation in late 2014.
