"Relaxing (Society in Top Hats)," Kazimir Malevich, 1908.

Malevich seems to be doing a parody of Manet here...it's all so pretty and oh-so-proper, until you spot the man in upper left relieving himself on the ground.

I'm learning there's a lot more parody in art than I ever realized...

From the State Russian Museum, St. Petersburg.

The Moscow school of painting submit the aesthetics of Russia, just as Moscowia occupied the rest of country. At the end of the 19th century, the passions and techniques of the Moscow school spread to all Russian art. A dull gray and brown tone also spread - it's was the color of truth. Reality is gray-brown, and the weather in Russia bad, so painting, if it is true, should be gray-brown. Russian realists worked with this pathos.

A Russian art museum in Málaga has been saved from possible closure by a British enthusiast after she offered to exhibit her private collection of 76 works by Russian artists.

The works, dating from 1876 to 1980, belong to Jenny Green, who began collecting Russian art 20 years ago. In the 1960s Green was one of a group of people behind Granny Takes a Trip, the trend-setting Kings Road boutique in London.

"Sadko," Ilya Repin, 1875.

In a classic Russian poem, Sadko is a musician who goes to an undersea kingdom to sing for the sea-king. In reward he is given a choice of the king's 300 daughters, but he has eyes only for the youngest. This painting depicts that moment. I love the golden tones and the fantastical setting.

From the Russian Museum in St. Petersburg.
