The first monographic exhibition of the artist Ivan Shultze, a student of Arkhip Kuindzhi and Konstantin Kryzhitsky, will be held in Moscow at the Museum-Estate of the Muravyov-Apostols from February 17 to April 02, 2017.

The exhibition will feature about 60 works of the painter, among them such famous ones as "November evening", "Lake shore at sunset", "Arctic landscape. Spitsbergen "and" Oaks in the bread ".

Ivan Fedorovich Schultze (1874-1939) was born in St. Petersburg in a family of Russified Germans.

Initially he studied to be an engineer. Schultze showed his first sketches to the famous landscape painter Konstantin Kryzhitsky (1858-1911) when he was already over thirty. Kryzhitsky then invited Schultze to be his student.

In addition to Kryzhitsky, Arkhip Kuindzhi (1841-1910) and the Swiss painter Alexander Kalam (1810-1902) also greatly influenced the formation of Schultze as an artist.

Together with Kryzhitsky, Schultze traveled in 1910 on an expedition to about. Spitsbergen, where he wrote a large number of arctic landscapes dated this year (Danish and Bear Islands, St. Magdalene Bay, Spitsbergen Archipelago and others).

By 1916, Ivan Fedorovich received wide recognition of society: his works were bought by the Romanovs (brother of Nicholas II Mikhail Alexandrovich, Grand Duke Grigory Mikhailovich and others). Several paintings were acquired by Karl Faberge (attested in the inventory of his property in 1918). The development of postcards also contributed a lot to his success: Schultze's landscapes were scattered throughout the country in "open letters".

In 1921, Schultze emigrated to Paris, in 1927 he received French citizenship.

"The Wizard of Light" Ivan Schultze

Since 1922, exhibitions of paintings by Ivan Schultze have been held in Paris, London, New York.

Another characteristic of Schultze's work is widely known, once given by the columnist for The London Times: "Must See To Believe" .

Also, the characteristic of the artist Ivan Schultze is often found as "Masters of the Russian lyrical landscape" .

In the mid-1930s, Schultze moved to Nice. After that, several more exhibitions of his work took place in the United States (New York, April 1936; Oklahoma City, May-June 1938; New York, April 1940 and May 1943). Ivan Fedorovich Schultze died in Nice in 1939.

In Russian museums today there is a small number of works by the artist (for example, in the Russian State Museum of the Arctic and Antarctic in St. Petersburg and in the Dagestan Museum of Fine Arts), while in American and Canadian collections Schultze's paintings are presented much more widely (in the Hillwood Museum in Washington, Washington Museum of Art state university, Indianapolis Museum of Art or Montreal Museum fine arts). Many of Schultze's paintings are in private collections.

If the artist manages to convey his feelings with the help of the image he created, then his work will not need a translator. Our eyes see the artist's picture in the same way as the real world. There is no need for speech, emotions rule art. The very essence of fine art lies in a talented artist, when a light-winged and elusive muse is combined with the skill and precision of artistic knowledge.

For the first time in Moscow will be presented a monographic exhibition of the great Russian painter, master landscape painting and, according to contemporaries, the true "wizard of light" - Ivan Fedorovich Schultze. His works reflect the experience of famous classics of Russian art XIX century and rightfully belong to the best examples of Russian realistic landscape. As a talented student of Konstantin Kryzhitsky and Arkhip Kuindzhi, he created paintings that were highly valued in Russian Empire: so, among his admirers was the crowned Romanov family. However, Schultze was forced to leave his homeland in the post-revolutionary years in order to become famous in the West. Today his work can be seen at the Washington State art museum, at the Hillwood State Museum, at the Museum of Fine Arts in Indianapolis, at the Baburizza Museum in Chile, at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and many other museum and private collections. The artist's large-scale exhibition in Moscow is a unique project dedicated to the repatriation of Russian art. After almost a hundred years of oblivion and on the anniversary of the revolution, the name of Ivan Schultze returns to his homeland. Throughout his life, Ivan Schultze (1874 - 1939) was appreciated as a brilliant portrait painter of nature. From 1906 to 1916, his works took part in regular exhibitions of the Academy of Arts and the Association of Artists in St. Petersburg and Moscow, they were acquired by many Russian collectors, among his connoisseurs was Carl Faberge. In the early 1920s, not accepting the October Revolution, Schultze left for Paris, and his name in Russia was consigned to oblivion, but became widely known in Europe and America.

The works of Ivan Fyodorovich Schultze aroused great interest among the most famous gallery owners in Paris, London, Chicago and New York, such as Gerard Frere, Arthur Tuss, John Levy, Arthur Ackermann and Edouard Jonas (gallery owner and later curator of the Cognac-Jeet Museum in Paris) ... Jonas, being the most famous connoisseur of old art, only once exhibited the works of a contemporary artist - and these were the works of Schultze. The highly successful exhibitions of the masters strengthened his name among the representatives of art criticism who recognized him as a "wizard of light".

In 2015, on the initiative of the head of the Russian department of the Koller auction house (Switzerland) Vadim Goncharenko, the Ivan Fedorovich Schultze Foundation was created to preserve the heritage of the great Russian artist. Today, the Foundation contains part of the artist's works, as well as archival documents. “We managed to dive deeply into the world of Ivan Fedorovich Schultze, trying to get to know him better, discover his thoughts and feelings, and understand his actions. With each new mosaic element, the appearance of the real one, Schultze, became more and more distinct. And although there are still gaps in his biography, it is indisputable that the "wizard of light", as he was called, was a true genius in the field of realistic art, "says the president of the Bettina Goncharenko Foundation.

The exposition will include 60 significant works from the period of the artist's life in Russia until 1920 and emigration from 1921 to 1939 from the Foundation's own collection, private collections in Russia, France, Germany, Switzerland and Canada, Russian state museum Arctic and Antarctic in St. Petersburg. Already in the early works of Schultze, the master's talent to convey complex solar effects during the day is guessed: the lyrical landscape "Lake Shore at Sunset" (1909), representing the artist's native land, "Arctic Landscape. Spitsbergen "(1910), written after a trip with Kryzhitsky to the Svalbard archipelago and shown in 1911 at the Academy of Arts," Oaks in bread "(1917). The exhibition will also showcase an iconic work on the path to recognition of the artist in Europe. Written from memories of Russian nature already in Europe in 1923, the painting "November Evening" was successfully exhibited by the Gerard Gallery at the 136th spring salon in the Grand Palais on Champs Elysees in Paris. The Faraglioni Rocks, Capri, one of the most important works in the master's work, gained wide recognition, being exhibited by the Gerard Gallery at number one at the largest Schultze exhibition in 1925 in Paris, and then in New York. The exposition in Moscow will reflect the originality of the perception of European nature through the prism of nostalgic memories that sounded in the artist's work throughout his life. It is no coincidence that the work of "Wisteria" of the 1920s depicts flowers that attracted the artist's attention by their extraordinary resemblance to Russian lilacs. The exposition will include original postcards from 1912–1916, written by Schultze. Along with the works of Repin, Kuindzhi, Arkhipov, Makovsky, Surikov, the artist's landscapes were effectively decorated with miniature forms of "open letters". This was the name of the pre-revolutionary postcard - the most important source for studying the work of many outstanding artists today.

To exhibit the exhibition in Moscow, the Muravyov-Apostles Estate Museum was chosen - one of the best examples of Moscow̆ architecture of neoclassicism of the first̆ half of the XIX century, revived after restoration by the Foundation established by Christopher Muravyov-Apostol. The Foundation continues to restore the once severed connection with the past of Russian art. The artist who left Russia, who was famous at the beginning of the last century, was forgotten and erased from the history of Russian art. As the Muravyovs discovered Russia at the end of the century, so Russia opens the work of Ivan Schultze. Return is the key word. Restoration of one more link of the broken chain.

A catalog of works by I.F.Shultze has been published for the exhibition.

As part of the exhibition, the following events will take place:

• round table jointly with M. S. G. Stroganov "Russian realistic landscape: tradition and development in the XXI century"; poetry evening; lecture program (frequency once a week), dedicated to technology paintings by Arkhip Kuindzhi and Ivan Shultze.
