"This year, the Fondation Vuitton strikes again with an exhibition
of the Morozov Collection, about 200 French and Russian works
bought by two other textile magnates, the brothers Mikhail and Ivan
Morozov, who also made multiple Paris shopping trips" - New York
Times The Morozov brothers, wealthy Moscow textile merchants
Mikhail (1870-1903) and Ivan (1871-1921), played a key role in
bringing Impressionist and Post-Impressionist art to Russia in the
first decades of the 20th century. Along with Sergei Shchukin, a
fellow industrialist and art collector, they created an
international audience for French art and had a transformative
effect on Russian cultural life. Between the years 1903 and 1914,
Ivan Morozov spent more money than any other collector of his time,
amassing a stunning collection of works by Matisse, Monet, Picasso,
Bonnard, Sisley, Renoir, Signac, Vuillard, Gauguin, Van Gogh,
Degas, Pissarro, and, most especially, Cezanne (17 paintings, all
of which will be on display). On his bi-annual trips to Paris, he
bought from the most discerning dealers, including Paul
Durand-Ruel, Ambroise Vollard, and Daniel-Henri Kahnweiler, as well
as directly from the artists themselves. His collection comprises
278 paintings, not including 300 paintings by Russian artists
(Chagall, Malevich, Serov, Vrubel, Levitan, Larionov, Goncharova)
and 28 sculptures. The Morozov collection was nationalised after
the October 1917 Revolution, and after World War II it was divided
among the Hermitage Museum, the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts,
and the Tretyakov State Museum. This stunning catalogue has been
published for a show of 100 highlights from the Morozov Collection
that will run from 22 September 2021 - 22 February 2022 at the
Louis Vuitton Foundation in Paris. It is the first time that works
from the collection will travel abroad since they were acquired.
This landmark exhibition will be the only stop for the show outside
of Russia.
