Oleg Vassiliev was born in Moscow in 1931 and was one of the leading figures in the Russian "unofficial" art movement. Since 1990, the artist lives and works in New York. 
In his art Vassiliev combines the traditions of Russian Realism of the 19th century with the Russian avant-garde of the beginning of the 20th century. Vassiliev’s principal themes, which were born while he was in Russia and continue to the present day, are his memories of home and houses, roads, forests, fields, friends and family. 
Oleg Vassiliev: Memory Speaks (Themes and Variations) reflects the artist’s career from 1949 to the present day.

No nation on earth has one absolute, primordial symbol. The colour red, however, has always been favored by all nations. Red, as a concept and word combination became both an audible and visual image in Russia, particlularly so at the start of the 20th century. Russians identified the colour red with physical phenomena and actions. Colour images crossed over into the realms of concrete objects (red carpet); the Russian word 'krasny' lost its original meaning 'beautiful' and came to be applied purely to the colour red, which in turn crossed over to geographical names (Krasnaya Polyana, Krasnoye Selo). People grew accustomed to the colour red and it entered the public consciousness. And no matter what the future course of Russian history, red will forever remain its principal emotional charge, carrying the potential of all that is solemn, warm and jubilant. This volume is a celebration of the colour red in Russian art. Red betrays a wealth of meanings. It has also been simply a patch of bright colour

Collections, Catalogs & Exhibitions

Over 200 pieces of Russian decorative art are illustrated, from the eleventh to the twentieth centuries from the major holdings of the Russian State Museum. Many of the pieces were created for the Russian Court and Orthodox Church, the two most important patrons in Russia before the revolution. The pieces featured include bracelets from the twelfth century, signet rings from the thirteenth, icons from the sixteenth and seventeenth and chasubles from the eighteenth. Included are several treasure caches, accompanied by pieces of jewellery dating from the eleventh to the thirteenth centuries; all were originally held in the Imperial Hermitage Museum and then transferred to the Russian Museum in 1930. Some of the more recent works featured include items by Faberg, and various Art Nouveau pieces. All of the objects are, however, more than just witnesses of the past, precious ornaments. Presented here are works of decorative and applied art, created by the great Russian masters. 393077562X
