- Around the Square from the series The Christmas Present
23 December 2005 - 19 March 2006.
An exhibition of the unique collection of Russian Avant-Garde in porcelain opened in the Winter Palace.
This exhibition in the series The Christmas Present was prepared by the Museum of Porcelain department of the
State Hermitage with the participation of the Imperial Porcelain Factory OJSC. The exhibition presents around
250 works of porcelain and 15 sketches from the period between 1918 and the mid-1930's.
The exhibition in the Twelve Column Hall of the New Hermitage displays more than 100 exhibits from the museum collection.
For 22 years, from 1932 to 1954, Lydia Delektorskaya (1910, Oimsk - 1998, Paris) was the secretary of the great 20th century
French artist Henri Matisse (1869-1954). As a devoted friend and assistant, she devoted her life to serving Matisse and was
the inspiration for many of his works. Delektorskaya's face was captured in oil paintings, drawings and printed graphics.
The exhibits which Lydia Delektorskaya gave to the Hermitage - paintings, drawings, lithographs, art books and sculpture -
have extraordinarily enriched the collection of works by Henri Matisse.
