Exhibits at the Weisman Art Museum

Mir Iskusstva or, in English, “World of Art” was an artistic movement that flourished in Russia at the turn of the twentieth century. It incorporated artists from all disciplines––music, literature, dance, theater, and visual art––who shared ideas and inspiration. United under the idea of “art for art’s sake,” Mir Iskusstva aspired to create a Russian national art parallel to Western European art.
