About

The exhibition brings together sculpture, graphics, documents, artistic glass, and photo chronicles that reveal the scale of Vera Mukhina's creativity. The exhibition tells about Vera Mukhina as a large-scale artist - not only the author of the famous Soviet symbol but also a master who freely worked with sculpture, theatrical sketches, glass, portraiture, and monumental concepts. Vera Mukhina was able to transform material into an image where the power of wind, gesture, and time is felt. Behind her works lies a search for a form capable of conveying the character of a person, the tension of a historical moment, and the inner energy of an idea. The halls feature works from different periods. Among them are the bronze version of "The Worker and the Kolkhoz Woman," the sculpture "Flame of the Revolution," portraits, theatrical designs, artistic glass, archival documents, and projects for monuments that were never realized. Mukhina approached allegory as a precise tool rather than an abstract decoration. Through it, the artist spoke of labor, flight, sacrifice, resistance, and freedom. Therefore, alongside revolutionary themes, there are ancient references, "Boreas," "Icarus," the group "Bread," and the fantasy "Wind" - a work that provided one of the main semantic keys to the exhibition. Photographs of the Soviet pavilion at the 1937 World Exhibition in Paris expand this narrative. They show how the image of a country striving forward was created and remind us that Mukhina's creativity was born at the intersection of personal will, artistic discipline, and strong historical pressure. Ideas on where to go in Moscow are collected on KUDAGO.
