Sergei Shchukin was a highly successful textiles merchant in the latter half of the nineteenth century, but he also had a great eye for beauty. He was one of the first to appreciate the qualities of the Impressionists and Post-Impressionists and to acquire works by Cezanne, Matisse, and Picasso. A trailblazer in the Russian art world, Shchukin and his collection shocked, provoked, and inspired awe, ridicule, and derision among his contemporaries. This is the first English-language biography of Sergei Shchukin, written by art historian Natalya Semenova and adapted by Shchukin's grandson Andre Delocque. Featuring personal diary entries, correspondence, interviews, and archival research, it brings to light the life of a man who has hitherto remained in the shadows, and shows how despite his controversial reputation, he opened his collection to the public, inspiring a future generation of artists and changing the face of the Russian art world." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS; ILLUSTRATIONS; A NOTE ON THE TEXT; PREFACE; Images; Prologue; The Shchukin family; PART ONE The Collector Brothers; CHAPTER I The Gentleman Who Slept in His Box at the Bolshoy; A cup of tea; CHAPTER II Luther's Bible; CHAPTER III The Tragic Tales of the Older Brothers Nikolai and Petr; A Russian Tintin; The tsaritsa's kettledrum; Tales of Old Russia; The resplendent Petr Shchukin; CHAPTER IV Dmitry Shchukin 'The Dutchman'; The grand duke's grenadier; Dmitry Shchukin and Soviet Russia CHAPTER V Ivan Shchukin Portrait of the Younger Brother as a Parisian DandyPortrait of the Minister for the Arts; PART TWO Sergei Shchukin; CHAPTER VI An Oligarch in Moscow; The siren of the Dnepr; A different world; CHAPTER VII Strangers on a Train; Strangers on a train; The 'Cour des Miracles'; CHAPTER VIII The Storm; Brave little soldiers; Gone missing; CHAPTER IX The Debacle; The master on the mountain; CHAPTER X In the Footsteps of Moses; Mosquitoes and flies; CHAPTER XI The Price of a King's Wife; The Tahitian iconostasis; A heavenly banquet; CHAPTER XII Harmonie en Rouge1 Blue toile de Jouy, glimpsed from an omnibus; Still life with figure; CHAPTER XIII The Two Orphans; Dyadya Serezha and Baba Liza; Women and angels; A horse in the desert; CHAPTER XIV Quo Vadis?; Spirit-weariness; The gentleman from the land of the Scythians and the bibliophile count; The Little Flower Girl; CHAPTER XV La Danse and La Musique; The battle of Paris; The battle of Moscow; CHAPTER XVI The City of All-Night Revels; CHAPTER XVII Picasso the Hypnotist; The man who could have bought Les Demoiselles d'Avignon; The two fans; 'Terrifying dwarves' CHAPTER XVIII Portrait of a Chinese Patriarch1914; CHAPTER XIX The Acropolis of the Arts; Red October; CHAPTER XX The Exiles; An astrakhan hat; Quarrelling is easier than parting; CHAPTER XXI The World's First Museum of Modern Art; Farewell to the Trubetskoy Palace; CHAPTER XXII Time Regained; Postscript The Collector of the Future; ENDNOTES; SELECT BIBLIOGRAPHY; ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS; INDEX.
