Featured Works
The Timkov Collection
January 9, 2010 - February 20, 2010 A near recreation of the acclaimed 2008 Meridian International Center exhibition "The Timkov Collection," provided by Timothy and Lisa Wyman, features remarkable landscapes by renowned Russian painter Nikolai Efimovich Timkov (1912-1993). The exhibit was co-curated by Dr. Alison Hilton of Georgetown University and Dr. Curtis Sandberg of the Meridian International Center.
Recognized as an Honorable Artist of the Russian Federation in 1987 at age 75, Timkov spend much of his career out of favor with the Soviet government and the Social Realist movement en vogue during his younger years. Timkov pursued his own style of Impressionism, depicting the landscapes and scenes of rustic country life. Art and Antiques magazine praises his use of "energetic brushwork, simplified forms, evocative compositions and Fauvist colors [to create] a body of work that celebrates the changing moods and timeless beauty of the Russian landscape and hardy structures of historical Russia."
Working largely outside the mainstream throughout his career, Timkov's work received little international attention or representation until very late in his life. While his work is distinctively of his time and place, as well as demonstrating both passion and mastery of his form, opportunities to view such a collection of Timkov works have been rare.
