In these few posts, I am putting up photos of Russian art on display in the Tretyakov Gallery on Krymsky Val (Третьяковская галерея на Крымском Валу) – a branch of the State Tretyakov Gallery. Click to see Part 1 and Part 2.

This section includes art from the period after the 1920’s.

According to the museum guide, this generation of artist was brought up on the avant garde but they created a figurative and conventionally expressive style.
