VORONEZH. Since March 26th at the Museum. Kramskoy opened an exhibition of artists T. Mavrina and N. Kuzmin, the exposition of which is composed of works belonging to the State Museum of A. Pushkin. The names of these artists gained fame in the world of art after the exhibition of the art group "Group 13", held in the early thirties.

Mavrina and Kuzmin became members of the association in 1929. Graphic artists who united in this group believed that a drawing would be lively and reverent only if it was created without preliminary preparation. The name of the association was a kind of shocking, which is a challenge to the school of academic painting.

Participation in this group united the fate of Kuzmin and Mavrina. At the beginning of the war, artists became a family. Both artists created a large number of illustrations for the works of famous writers and poets. Nikolai Vasilievich gained fame by working in publishing houses that issued classical literature.

Tatyana Alekseevna was also a famous illustrator. She has accounted for more than one hundred editions of books belonging to Russian and world classics. The creativity of these artists combines many works for the publication of works by A. Pushkin. About five years N. Kuzmin worked on creating illustrations for "Eugene Onegin", published in 1933. In the illustrations among the heroes of the novel, Pushkin himself appeared. For the illustrations created for the poem Ruslan and Lyudmila, T. Mavrina was awarded the VDNKh silver medal.

The exposition includes watercolor paintings with views of Moscow, created by T. Mavrina during the war years. Another of the artist’s favorite genres was still lifes, which were necessarily attended by bouquets of flowers.

The works of remarkable artists can be seen until May 24.
