The large-scale exposition on Krymsky Val Street is a continuation of two countries’ International project which was launched in the “Zakhenta” National Gallery, Warsaw, in November, 2004.
More than 400 works are on view in the Tretyakov Gallery. It is rich in paintings, sculptures, graphic arts, photos, films and video from modern to post-modernism. Moscow variant of the exposition consists of several parts which acquaint spectators with trends and styles of art of the two countries. The first one is devoted to the Russian modern and Polish secession — styles which unite artists from two countries of the beginning of the last century. The dialogue of two cultures is shown in the video devoted to the creative work of the genius dancer Vaclav Nijinsky — the star of Russian seasons of Sergei Diaghilev in Paris. Such significant person as Kazimir Malevich who unites innovatory art of the two countries is represented in “Cube-futurism and advance guard” section.
The second part of the XX century starts with the postwar abstraction. Then new trends and styles of artists of two countries are shown in the exposition.
