Semenova N. Moscow collectors: S.I. Shchukin, I.A. Morozov, I. S. Ostroukhov. Three destinies, three stories of hobbies. Series: ZhZL. M. Young Guard, 2010, 403 pages, incl. hardcover, regular format.

The history of each collection can be divided into the fate of things and the fate of the person who collected them. We owe the happiness of contemplating the world's best paintings by the French impressionists, as well as Gauguin, Cezanne, Matisse and Picasso, to two Muscovites: a daring innovator who was not afraid to shock the Moscow public, businessman Sergei Shchukin, ruthless to competitors, and millionaire Ivan Morozov, who in Paris was called "Russian, which is not traded. The third hero - Ilya Ostroukhov was an artist by profession, but by vocation - a collector and museum builder, with incredible temperament, excitement and genuine passion, he bought French painting and Russian graphics, oriental bronze and antique glass. It is he who is credited with the discovery of the artistic phenomenon of the Russian icon, in which previously valued virtues other than pictorial ones were valued.

The condition of the book is excellent, without remarks.
