Russia's Legend - Nikita Fedosov (1939 - 1992)
In 2005, the question - Who were the three most talented 20th century Russian artists? - was asked of senior members of the Academy of the Arts, the Director of the Surikov Institute, leaders of the Russian Artist Union and other prominent Russian Realist artists. The concept was that those who were highly trained in academic realism and were the practicing elite had the best eyes to understand who of their era stood above the others. Arkady Plastov, the revered genre artist received the most votes. Recognized for his plein aire landscape paintings, Nikita Fedosov was number two. Today, the top Russian auction houses refer to this acclaimed artist as "Russian's Legend".
Lazare Gallery cordially invites you to view over 60 of Fedosov's paintings. Taking several decades to assemble, this exhibition offers a rare opportunity to experience Nikita Fedosov's genius.
Open by appointment.

Nikolai Sergeyev (1908 - 1989)
Featured in Lazare Gallery's Masterworks Series
Trained in the classical tradition of the old masters, Nikolai Sergeyev not only built on tradition in his paintings but also added a poetic quality. His art proves that Russia had artists who were not swayed by the fashions of the day or time. Nikolai had independent views on art. He depicted reality sincerely and in a true to life manner. He did not think up loud innovations for the sake of market success. He worked hard, studying prototypes profoundly and emotionally. When viewing Sergeyev's landscapes, one senses, above all, the spiritual purity and clarity of the artist's vision.
Visit Lazare Gallery to experience Nikoli Sergeyev's sublime plein air paintings.
Opening reception on
Sunday May 3, 2016 from 2:30 to 5:30
or for other dates, call 804-829-5001 or email kathy@lazaregallery.com to set up a private tour.

Yuri Petrovich Kugach
A Tribute
Recognized as one of the preeminent Russian artists of the 20th century,Yuri Kugach leaves the world a better place through his unwavering search for honesty and excellence in his paintings. He strove for aesthetic perfection by unraveling the language of beauty and transforming it into something useful. He was able to deepen representational art's spiritual and passionate depth at a time when these characteristics were largely abandoned elsewhere. Mr. Kugach also influenced younger generations of artists by playing an instrumental role in passing on master painting traditions. He and his beloved wife, Olga Svetlechnaya were founders of the renowned and still active Moscow River School. Yuri Kugach's paintings hang in major Russian Museums and private collections throughout the world. He was the recipient of numerous awards. He was treasured by his extended family & many friends including Lazare Gallery owners, John & Kathy. With gratitude, we remember and celebrate his life and works.
