It is with great sadness that we must announce the passing of Oleg Vassiliev on January 25, 2013 in Shoreview, MN.

His work, Freiburg Crucifixion, is represented in our newest exhibition, Concerning the Spiritual in Russian Art, 1965-2011. He lived for many years in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area with his son.

TMORA hosted an artist-focused lively panel discussion on Russian painting styles in connection with the museum’s current Nicholai Fechin exhibition.
Four accomplished local contemporary painters with widely varying practices Bryan Young, Chris Wilcox, Jehra Patrick and Jaron Childs — some familiar with Fechin’s work, others just introduced to it — responded to the show. They discussed the general practice of painting, the specific achievement of Russian masters in paint handling, the influence of Russian masters on their own work, and more. Drawing from their experiences, they brought fresh insight into a remarkable body of work in a discussion geared towards their fellow artist peers.
The evening was moderated by Salon Saloon host and MinnPost columnist Andy Sturdevant.
