The creative experience of one family, passed on unnoticeably but unfailingly, first to children and then to grandchildren and yet further, is an organic linkage that ensures cultural continuity across time. In Russia, the phenomenon made itself powerfully felt in the art of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Later, under the impact of historical trauma, it was rather interrupted and broken, and it was not until the last three or four decades of the 20th century that the process of its restoration began; it seems likely that in the future such artistic dynasties will continue to play a significant role.

ARTISTIC DYNASTIES ARE ONE OF THE CULTURAL “CONNECTING FORCES” THAT HELP TO PRESERVE AND AUGMENT - AS WELL AS CARRY FORWARD INTO THE FUTURE - THE ARTISTIC EXPERIENCE OF PAST GENERATIONS. THEY RANGE EXTREMELY WIDELY AND OFTEN ENCOMPASS DIFFERENT ART FORMS - POETRY, MUSIC, THEATRE, ART AND ARCHITECTURE.
