LECTURE "PAVEL BENKOV AND NIKOLAI FESHIN. EXPANDING THE BORDERS"

August 21 at 19:00. Lecture one - Pavel Benkov.

Why is the work of Benkov, who remained at home, unlike Feshin, less known to the general Russian public? How was the creative fate of the painter built? What were the reasons for his departure from Kazan to sunny Uzbekistan? What were the main subjects of Benkov’s work? To answer these questions, we turn not only to the works presented at the exhibition, but also to other works of the master.

September 18 at 19:00. Lecture two - Nikolai Feshin.

What influence did his beloved teacher Ilya Repin have on Feshin? What were the main reasons that prompted Feshin to emigrate? Who helped him with the move? How was the artist’s life in America built? We will find the answers in the lecturer’s story.

The lecture lasts 1 hour.
