                Malaga (Spain), Jan 27 (EFE) .- The Russian Museum in Malaga (south of Spain) takes a broad stylistic journey that goes from the classics to the vanguard of Malevich landscapes, with works ranging from the late eighteenth century XX.
Two major exhibitions featured in this beginning of year in the Russian Museum. On the one hand dedicated to “The Four Seasons” and reflected in the moods of the artists, and the other “The Jack of Diamonds”, focusing on the artistic movement of that name, with works by Malevich or Mashkov.

The walk begins in the winter, a long season that runs from November to March, with temperatures sometimes between 10 to 30 degrees below zero, which hinder daily life, but also knew the artists capture moments of games and entertainment including John Atkinson in the play “Drop down the slides on the banks of the Neva.”
“They say that Russians drink a lot of vodka, but it is not true … but when the temperature drops below -30 degrees, must be heated somehow, “he joked today on a guided tour of the exhibition Evgenia Petrova, artistic director of the Museum of St. Petersburg.
Kustodiev painted in” Maslenitsa “(” Carnival “) party with which it is celebrated the end of winter, and Natalia Goncharova a forest with great lyricism and expressive force.
Petrova admits that the works of the spring may not be understood by the Spanish public, “because there is still snow,” but it’s time ” where the snow melts, the earth and the grass appears, start chirping birds and emotions arise of new life. “
In this section are authors that after Stalinism, when they were girded issues Patriotic as rulers or party meetings in the so-called “thaw” could be open to other issues and show everyday life, as Ivanov in “Moving ice” or Gavrilov in “cheerful Marzo”.
Back in the summer, Kuindzhi immortalized the rainbow, and Deineka knew, without departing from the canons of socialist realism, show the Russian landscape “Vast” while in “Bathing horses” Plastov presented in 1938 a nude would have been unthinkable during the time of Stalin, Petrova said.
The autumn is very short in Russia since the second half of September to late October, but gives the prints seen as a forest “burning with leaves intense red or yellow “, in which painters sometimes convey his regret for the recent summer, and in this section are as Kivshenko authors, Savrasov, Levitan and Korovin.
The Russian Museum in Malaga also presented today its new temporary exhibition, “The Jack of Diamonds”, dedicated to the artistic movement that emerged as a reaction to what was then “living painters” were called.
These authors were directed towards a more folk art and used in sometimes “brutal, impossible in the prior art forms aimed at the middle class,” said Petrova.
Among the 55 works exhibited in Malaga two of Malevich, a self-portrait and a still life, and pieces that give an idea of ​​the breakdown that led this group, like Mashkov “Self Portrait and Portrait of PP Konchalovsky. “
Natalia Goncharova, who later would move away from this group, is present with several pieces as those dedicated to the four evangelists, that despite its subject” caused negative feelings of religious people, “Petrova said.
This group significantly influence the Russian avant-garde, and exposure can show the beginning, “when art was still figurative, but the painters were moving away from the styles that were then popular in Europe,” according to artistic director of the Museum of St. Petersburg.
