An Exhibition of Works by Russian and Soviet Artists

This year’s winter exhibition at the Royal Academy offers the first representative survey of Russian painting to be seen in Western Europe, and its opening will give particular pleasure Lo those in Soviet Russia and Great Britain who have worked over a long period to bring it into being. Apart from its importance as an artistic landmark, it represents the first stage in an exchange of works of art between the two countries and will be followed in 1960 by an exhibition in Soviet Russia of pictures by British masters organized by the British Council.
