Oleg Torbosov's lecture "Mecenaty" (Patrons of the Arts) in Dubai
About this event
- On Tuesday 17 November, Oleg Torbosov continues his lecture series "Mecenaty" (Patrons of the Arts) at ToDA. This time the evening is devoted to two remarkable men, Sergei Shchukin and Ivan Morozov: two Moscow textile merchants who, in their spare time, bought paintings by French artists that most people then considered mad. Shchukin was the first to believe in Matisse and Picasso, while the reserved and calculating Morozov spent fortunes on Cézanne, Gauguin and Van Gogh. Both built world-class collections, and both lost them after the revolution. An evening about art, but also about money, love, family tragedy, rivalry and courage.
