Torn from Darkness: Works by Felix Lembersky
The University of Richmond Museums presents Torn from Darkness: Works by Felix Lembersky at the Lora Robins Gallery of Design from Nature, September 25 through December 2, 2012. The exhibition features twenty paintings and works on paper created from 1942 to 1964 by the Russian-Soviet artist Felix Lembersky (1913-1970). He was an easel painter, theater stage designer, teacher, and cultural leader. Working in Soviet Russia at a distance from Western movements, the artist created a body of work that offers his own vision, a synthesis of Modernism, the Avant-Garde, and Realism through Russia’s historical circumstances and through his own particular conscious awareness of Russian and Eastern spiritual traditions.
