| Popis: | Philanthropy in Russia of the XIX - beginning of XX centuries had its special features, owing to the nature of the artistic process of that time, as well as to socio-psychological specifics of the group of commercial and industrial estates, providing patronage of arts. Moscow merchants-artisans were the embodiment of most of the qualities (such as patriarchal religious commitment, entrepreneurial spirit, the desire to influence social processes and “to keep up to date”). In those circumstances the formula of “wealth obligating” formed a large-scale and a versatile charity applicable to the art as well. Due to their huge wealth, merchants-patrons could not only be engaged in collecting, but also affect the artistic process by supporting certain directions of painting, creating theatres and art centers. So there was a certain “union” between artists-realists of social direction and merchant-benefactors (K.T. Soldatyonkov, P.M. Tretyakov). Along with that, there were serious contradictions in “artist-patron” relations, resulting from the psychologically conflict “meeting” of wealth and poverty, as well as the problem of the picture “evaluation”. The virtuous rejection of money power and the entire “dark kingdom” by artists (especially the revealing genre) simultaneously coupled with the dependence on its educated representatives. The contradictory influence of patronage sometimes was caused by insufficient education of art lovers and their adherence to “snobbery and fashion”. |
