Following Icons of Modern Art, The Shchukin Collection, Icons of Modern Art, The Morosov
Collection is another incredible collection of paintings by French impressionists and modernists
which had been nationalised following the 1917 Russian Revolution, then divided between the
Hermitage in St. Petersburg and the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow. The collection
includes many paintings by great masters such as Renoir, Picasso, Monet and Matisse, but also
emerging artists of the Russian avant-garde. Shchukin and Morozov: Friends, peers, emulators or
rivals, probably all of this. The Morozovs and Shchukin are ‘the two main families that dominated
Moscow’s cultural life at the beginning of the 20th century, invented the concept of artistic
philanthropy and directly contributed to the international recognition of French modern painters.’
This collection is presented for the first time outside Russia in October 2020 in a single exhibition
in Paris at the Fondation Louis Vuitton, with the partnership of the Russian museums: Pushkin,
Hermitage and Tetryakov.
