This large scale exhibition project will be dedicated to the works of Alexander Yakovlevich Golovin (1863-1930) – a brilliant artistic example from the Silver Age - a time of symbolism and modernism. The exhibit will reveal the diversity of Golovin’s artistic talent.

He was a great theatre decorator and a reformer of theatrical set design and is also known for his romantic landscapes and his still-lifes. He was also a portrait artist choosing famous fellow artists for his subjects.

The exhibition includes works from 23 museums and private collections and include paintings, sketches of monumental murals, theatre decorations, costumes and various works of decorative and applied art.

This will be the first time that authentic costumes based on Golovin’s sketches and used in the final performance of B. E. Meyerhold’s staging of Mikhail Lermontov’s “Masquerade”, will be displayed in Moscow.
