The Wolf on the Wall

Here's
a post about the
upcoming exhibit
Soviet war posters.

I queried why
Russian Impressionism
was never given
a special exhbit.

Wouldn't such paintings
be appropriate
for a museum
that specializes
in French Impressionism?

I could have added
that no other genre
of Russian art
(other than Icons)
has ever been given
a special exhibit
at the A.I.C.

And I also could have added
that no Russian art
of any kind
is currently on display
except
for the early 20th C.
avant Garde (Kandinsky etc)

This really is an oversite
in a museum
that claims to be
"encyclopedic",
but is just following
the curatorial fashion
of the American artworld.

Hopefully,
this enthusiasm
for the propaganda posters
will carry over
to Soviet painting and sculpture.

Like most of my queries,
this one went un-answered,
but I do notice
that a month later
someone asked me
when the Tass exhibit would occur.

Unfortunately,
since her name was linked
to a website
that sells hearing aids,
I fear that she
was spamming the blog.
(while assuming that
many of us
were old enough
to need her products)
