In June, on the occasion of the upcoming celebrations of the Foundation in Abramtsevo, the Chairman of the Vasnetsov Foundation met with K. B. Nevzorov, head of the Abramtsevo V.M. Vasnetsov Art and Industrial College (AHPC), a member of the Union of Artists, in the workshop of the AHPC on Ordynka.
The foundation of the college, which crossed the 130-year mark, was laid by the efforts of E.G. Mamontova and E.D. Polenova, who organized art and carpentry workshops in the Abramtsevo estate of the Mamontovs in 1885. V.M. Vasnetsov had a huge influence on the work of the founder of the workshop in Abramtsevo, Elena Dmitrievna Polenova, she wrote: "I did not study with Vasnetsov in the literal sense of the word, i.e. I did not take lessons from him, but somehow I gained an understanding of the Russian folk spirit from him."
We hope that familiarization with the cultural heritage of the AHPC will enrich the guests of the Abramtsevo meeting with knowledge, and the college will find new like-minded people and friends to support the resource base and the educational process at the famous educational institution.
