La Collection Morozov : Icônes De L'art Moderne

Exhibition at the Fondation Louis Vuitton, Paris, 22 September, 2021 - 22 February, 2022

The philanthropic brothers Mikhail Abramovich Morozov (1870-1903) and Ivan Abramovich Morozov (1871-1921) dominated Moscow's cultural life from the end of the nineteenth century until the early twentieth century. Their unconditional support of European and Russian contemporary art was integral to the international recognition of modern French painters.

This exhibition catalogue brings together more than 170 masterpieces from the collection of modern French and Russian art created by the Morozovs. Presented for the first time outside Russia, the Morozov collection includes iconic works by Manet, Rodin, Monet, Pissarro, Toulouse-Lautrec, Renoir, Sisley, Cézanne, Gauguin, Van Gogh, Bonnard, Denis, Maillol, Matisse, Marquet, Vlaminck, Derain, and Picasso, alongside works of celebrated Russian artists from the turn of the twentieth century, such as Repin, Vrubel, Korovin, Golovin, Serov, Larionov, Goncharova, Malevich, Mashkov, Konchalovsky, Utkin, Saryan, and Konenkov.
