Russian art
Eastern European masterworks
Russian art encompasses visual arts produced in Russia or by Russian artists, spanning from medieval icon painting through the avant-garde movements of the early twentieth century to contemporary work.
The term often evokes specific traditions: Byzantine-influenced religious icons, nineteenth-century realist painting, and the revolutionary Constructivist and Suprematist movements that emerged around 1917.
The museum's Russian art collection features several Kandinsky abstracts.
