The Morozov Collection. Icons of Modern Art.

The second part of the major event "Icons of Modern Art" organized by the Louis Vuitton Foundation brings together more than 170 priceless masterpieces from the collection of French and Russian modern art of the Moscow brothers Mikhail and Ivan Morozov.
Following the exhibition of Sergei Shchukin, the Fondation Louis Vuitton continues its exploration of the cultural and intellectual universe of Russian collector-patronizers, pioneers of modern art. Presented for the first time outside Russia, the Morozov Collection brings together 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 emblematic artists of Russian art at the turn of the century such as Repin, Vrubel, Korovin, Golovin, Serov, Larionov, Goncharova, Malevich, Mashkov, Konchalovsky, Utkin, Saryan, and Konenkov. The unprecedented presentation of these artists constitutes an exceptional rediscovery.

Philanthropists of the arts, the brothers Mikhail Abramovich Morozov (1870-1903) and Ivan Abramovich Morozov (1871-1921) dominated Moscow cultural life between the end of the 19th ^century and the beginning of the 20th ^century century, along with Tretyakov, Mamontov, Ryabushinsky and Shchukin. Their unconditional support for contemporary European and Russian art will contribute greatly to the international recognition of modern French painters.
