Exchange of Impressions
1
Mr Reston: 1 think Moscow is becoming an international art centre. Most world famous art galleries had their masterpieces displayed¹ in the Pushkin Art Museum.
Alexeev: I suppose it’s only natural. Muscovites have always been great admir­ers of art. By the way there were thousands of people queueing to get in when 18th and 19th century English paintings were displayed there.
R: That’s very pleasant to hear. Unluckily. Britain cannot boast of great artists such as Rembrandt and Goya.
A: Oh, you’re too modest, I should say. Your Turner is wonderful. I believe he’s the most brilliant seascape artist. I couldn’t tear myself away from his pictures.
R: Turner is my favourite artist, too. I especially like his seascapes depicting the stormy sea.
A: So do I.
R: In my opinion he’s one of the best artists England ever produced. You also had a famous seascape artist in the 19th century. I can’t recall his name.

1. 
   You mean Aivazovsky. Yes, the sea was his favourite subject. He’s very pop­ular in this country.
   

John Lobb, an exchange English student, and George Komov, a Moscow University postgraduate, are having a talk.
John Lobb: George, where can I see old Russian painting? I saw a few repro­ductions in a magazine and was greatly impressed by them.
George Komov: The Tretyakov Gallery has the richest collection, I believe if you have time tomorrow I can take you there.
John: Thank you very much. It's very kind of you.
George: Let’s meet in the lounge at 9.30 if it suits you.
John: It suits me all right. See you tomorrow morning.
(In the Tretyakov Gallery)
John: These icons are marvellous. It’s a great pity that the painters’ names are unknown.
George: Unfortunately we know only a few names. One of the greatest old Russian painters was Andrew Rublev.
John: Do you mean the painter about whom a film was made?
George: Yes. The film is called “Andrew Rublev”. Have you seen it?
John: Yes, I saw it a few years ago in London. It impressed me greatly. Where can I see his pictures?
George: As to Moscow you can find some of his pictures in the Kremlin.
John: By the way I'm going to the Kremlin next Saturday.
George: Then you'll be able to see Rublev’s picture there.
(After the visit)
John: Thank you very much. I think I'll have to come back to the Gallery again. There’s a lot to see and enjoy here.
George: Yes. The Gallery has got the richest collection of Russian painting.

A: I’ve just seen Repin's pictures. They're marvellous. I believe he's one of the most talented Russian realists.

2. 
   Yes. His paintings reflect the life of the people.

1. 
   Have you been to Shilov’s gallery?
   
2. 
   No, I haven’t. Is he a modern painter?
   

A: Yes. His portraits are wonderful. The portrait of his “Grandmother” made a great impression on me. I think he likes people whom he paints.
5
A: What’s the name of the sculptor who made the monument to Peter the Great?² It is situated on the bank of the Moskva river in the centre of Moscow.
B: Tzeretelli. He’s one of the most talented sculptors of today.
A: Oh, now I remember his name. If I’m not mistaken I saw his sculptures in Alexander Park near the Kremlin.
В: Yes. you are right. But do you know that he is a painter as well? Some crit­ics consider him to be not only a sculptor but a prominent painter as well. Have you been to the exhibition in his gallery?
A: Unfortunately not. Is it possible to see any of his paintings anywhere in Moscow?
В: I think yes. in his gallery.
