Art can be the representation of the imagination, expression of the emotion, or recording or a memory, that is usually tangible visual or audial. There are many styles of art from drawings, sculptures, photography to dancing and music. All of these are expressions of the artists that they want to share in their own way. Art has a plethora of genres, from realism and surrealism to geographical art or abstract. Art has many different eras: Renaissance, Classical, Romantic, Contemporary and Modern. Art varies in style from country to region down to the individual. Art can help distress a person or simply let them positively express their creativity.

In 1757 Ivan Shuvalov created the Russian Academy of Arts then known as the Academy of the three noble arts. The focus was on neoclassical styles and prepared its students for furthering their education in European schools. As of 1947 the head office is in Moscow. One of the most recognized art traditions that come from Russia are the Matryoshka dolls. Those are also referred to as Russian nested dolls. They are the small wooden dolls that open from the middle horizontally which have inside of most of them are a smaller doll until they get to the smallest one. Vasily Zvyozdochkin carved the first Russian Matryoshka set in 1890 from a design by Sergey Malyutin.

The painting that is posted above is by the painter Ilya Yefimovich Repin (Илья Ефимович Репин) and is entitled “Barge haulers on the Volga". Repin also did a truly terrifying painting of Ivan IV and his dying son. Ivan had struck his son with a large, heavy staff in an argument. The look in Ivan’s eyes defines insanity!
Another great painting of Ivan IV was done by Viktor Mikhaylovich Vasnetsov (Виктор Михайлович Васнецов). Another great late-19th century Russian painter that I love.

This is the sort of information that you can include on your résumé if you want to remain unemployed. ;-)
