For the first time ever, Moscow Museum of Modern Art presents works from the permanent collection
in a large-scale exhibition in Japan. The Spring-Time of Russian Avant-garde project brings together
70 paintings and sculptures by the leading artists of the first decades of the 20th century. Among these masters are Kazimir Malevich, Natalia Goncharova, Mikhail Larionov, Alexander Archipenko, Pavel Filonov,
Marc Chagall, Niko Pirosmani, and many others. The show investigates key issues in the evolution
of the avant-garde in the 1910s-1020s, such as Western influences, abstraction, and neo-primitivism.
