We have now arranged it to mark the Center\u2019s tenth anniversary. I spent my childhood in Paris and my youth in Russia, and today the French language, like Russian culture, evokes warm feelings in me; it is especially meaningful for me to unite them. This is my first exhibition in Paris and the first exhibition of Russian art here in the last four years,\u201d Pesic said.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, from May 20 to June 30 France is the only place in the world outside Russia where original paintings by Russian masters can be seen.<\/p>\n<p>The last major exhibition of Russian painting in Paris four years ago was \u201cMasterpieces of Modern Art. The Morozov Brothers Collection.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe symbol of our exhibition has become \u2018Shining Domes,\u2019 painted in the 1920s by Grand Duchess Olga Romanova, sister of Emperor Nicholas II Romanov. It is one of my favorite paintings, and Olga Alexandrovna\u2019s motto was \u201c<em>To be, not to pretend <\/em>\u201c. We, too, are striving to make a genuine step toward Russian-French mutual understanding and cultural enrichment. The exhibition also features works by Vladimir Tatlin, the founder of Constructivism, as well as paintings by Sergei Senkin, a Suprematist and student of the great Kazimir Malevich, \u201cthe collector emphasized.<\/p>\n<p>Over 37 years of work, Vladimir Pesic\u2019s collection has grown to include more than 330 works of painting and applied art by Russian and foreign artists, icons, and unique antique ivory artworks.<\/p>\n<p>The collection has been presented to the public many times at prestigious art exhibitions, as well as at five solo exhibitions in Serbia.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Serbian collector of Russian art Vladimir Pesic has opened an exhibition of Russian painting in France, the first such exhibition in four years, he told RIA Novosti.<br \/>\nThe exhibition opened on Wednesday evening in Paris under the title \u201cThe Splendor of Russian Painting of the 19th\u201320th Centuries.
