Collection

Museum of Arts of the XX-XXI centuries

The permanent exposition of Museum of Art of the XX-XXI centuries displays the works of Elena Guro and Michael Matyushin - the key personalities of Organic Culture.

In 1923-1926, Michael Matyushin headed the Department of Organic Culture in GINKhUK (the State Institute of Artistic Culture). The aim of the department was to determine, confirm, or clarify empirically with laboratory test results naturally observed behavior features and interactions among principal means of plastic language – the shape and the colour, and later on - to study the effect of the sound produced on them. The peculiarity of the study of the color, the shape, and the sound was in the fact that they were studied and empirically observed not in isolation with account of the spatial environment, incorporating those objects of observation. This was achieved by "advanced vision" "ZOR-VED" (vision + cognition), which helped understand the relationships, "fusion of essences but not mere visions".

The most outstanding masters of that trend were brothers and sisters, Boris, Maria, and Ksenia Ender.

A part of the Museum collection is completed with works by St Petersburg’s artist Vladimir Sterligov, who worked on the theory of an additional element in art as well as works of Tatiana Glebova, Pavel Kondratiev, Elizaveta Aleksandrova, A. Baturin and others.^[2]
