N. Markova

Abstrak

The article continues the historical outline of graphic art collecting in Russia and is concerned the 19th century. Over the course of this period, the circle of graphic art collectors has been significantly expanding and democratizing, with private individuals taking a leading position in this process; the graphic collections of newly established state museums and educational institutions were formed on the base of private collections. Many collectors demonstrated a decisive turn towards Russian graphics, as well as to thematic collections of prints focused on portraits, views, or book illustrations: extensive collections of drawings and prints were present in complex thematic collections. In the second half of the century, the role of art collections and collectors-connoisseurs increased. With the emergence of Art Nouveau, collectors turned their attention to Japanese prints, posters, book design elements as items of collecting; small collection of drawings for aesthetic pleasure became an important feature of the period.
