The New Jerusalem Museum (Moscow Region) is hosting the international exhibition ‘The Light Between Worlds’, dedicated to the little-studied layer of Soviet, Uzbek and Russian modernism of the 1920s-1930s.
The artist Alexei Rybnikov was a follower of the trend of ‘Luchism’, which was invented and developed by another avant-garde painter Mikhail Larionov. However, his early works were executed in the harsher key of another trend - Cubism. ‘Apocalypse’ (1918) - the strongest in its impact on the viewer's painting of the entire exposition in New Jerusalem, is one of the central works of the exhibition. Its plot is taken from the Revelations of John the Apostle, depicting one of its characters who heralds the end of the world.
The exhibition ‘The Light Between the Worlds’ will run until 8 November 2025.
