Russia at the Gugg: Impressions

Here's a first in series of my "impressions" from the exhibit at the Guggenheim.
I have rarely seen such a disorganized, poorly documented, exhibited, curated random collection of works from 6 centuries without any underlying reason to be together except for a country of origin (which in the course of these centuries, went from a collection of lands to an empire, to a socialist country and back to whatever it is right now).
But some pictures did leave a certain impression on me. Some by their unfamiliriaty, some by painful intimacy. Here is one painter, whom I have not heard much about it, except for his famous painting of Alexander Nevsky.
